It's rare for me to actually spend $55. on a ticket to see a musician but I figured it was a rare chance to see an icon of music. What a master of the blues/boogie piano! And one song that they played sent me back into the distant past, around 1968 when I first heard his creepy voodoo song "I Walk on Guilded Splinters". Actually I never did know the name of the song at that time, it just made a huge impression on me. To hear it again, I bought a CD of his first record, Gris-gris, all of which is bizarre. Now I am listening to nothing but that for the rest of the week while I'm alone in the house (my family is visiting relatives in Ontario). I'm waiting anxiously to hear about this job I applied for. I was working as a security guard at the local TV station, and a job came up in the newsroom. Within 24 hours of my handing in my application, the Commissionaire in charge of security guards fired me. Oh, he had several (lame) reasons why, but I'm sure it's because I was getting too uppity. Anyhoo, I wait on guilded splinters...

They're that Canadian band, no? But before long, Mr. Seahorse met another fish. "How are you, Mr. stickleback?" asked Mr. Seahorse. "Delighted," replied Mr. Stickleback. "I just built a nest and right away Mrs. Stickleback laid her eggs into it. Now I am taking good care of them until they hatch."

One of the Emmy nominees for best animated program is the episode of "South Park" that's said to have angered Tom Cruise and Isaac Hayes. The episode called "Trapped in the Closet" implies that Cruise is gay and makes fun of Scientology. Cruise's fellow Scientologist Isaac Hayes reportedly quit because he was upset with the episode. And when it came time to rerun it, Cruise allegedly called Comedy Central and demanded that it be pulled. It was, even though Cruise's people denied he asked for it. http://www.kron4.com/Global/story.asp?S=5119528 - -f. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2006 14:21:55 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Re: Instant Karma's Gonna Get You, Part II > NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif.
