Blah Blah Blog

Kicking it off with some live Stones covers. So have at it.

Speaking of celebrities and their babies (Bebes?):

Yes, that's our man John Powhida in the pages of People Magazine.



The copy reads:

FEMALE BONDING

Liv Tyler cozies up to mom Bebe Buell (dad is rocker Stephen Tyler) at a birthday bash Wednesday for the elder former model at New York City club the Cutting Room. Buell topped the night with a midnight performance with her band.

Meanwhile, rock sensation John Powhida was chatting up some bird.

Okay, I made up the last part.

For your convenience, here are some pix of Pow Pow with lesser celebrities.

Oh: why haven't you bought his album yet?

Rudds!

...action.

After an embarassing 10 month hiatus, the webcam is back.

With June pix from dueling shows of the Kamikaze Hearts at Lark Tavern and Nicole Peyrafitte at Justin's. Plus some belated shots from the Utah trip back in October 2005.

Okay, so what's different?

The Blog. My blah blah blog is now front and center since it's the content that gets updated most frequently. That doesn't mean you shouldn't be buyin' albums though.

Reality Based News. It's on hiatus. It was burning me out. More than you know. The news just gets worse and worse. Which wouldn't be so bad if American news outlets didn't seem so much more concerned about celebrities and their babies and their babies' names and crap. You want Reality Based News? The truth about what's going on with the clowns in the White House that no one else seems to be reporting? For my money, tune in to Dan Froomkin at WashingtonPost.com each weekday. It's more truth than America deserves.

Audio Blogging. Still setting up the account, but this is what I'm most excited about. I've been threatening to do it for a while and now is as good a time as any. A place to post demos, bootlegs from live shows, works-in-progress, covers, rare stuff from way back - anything that's not on one of the four albums you should buy that I'm not afraid for you to hear. Of course, I'm afraid for you to hear everything. But you know what I mean. On deck is live stuff from the Stones tribute show/fundraiser Albie put together last fall. I'll be your knight in shining armor. Riding on a fine Arab charger.

In a sleepy Albany town there ain't no place for a street fightin' man.

Peace,

B.

The worst turmoil in years grips the Middle East.

And our president is joking about eating a pig.

REPORTER: Does it concern you that the Beirut airport has been bombed? And do you see a risk of triggering a wider war? And on Iran, they've, so far, refused to respond. Is it now past the deadline, or do they still have more time to respond?

PRESIDENT BUSH: I thought you were going to ask me about the pig.

It's beyond parody. Notice that in the clip, John Stewart just plays the straight man.

And way, way, way beyond inappropriate. Notice the look on the face of Chancellor Merkel.

Repeat after me: 1.20.2009.

Mssrs. Osbourne, Iommi, Butler and Ward - take it away.
