Dressed up to the eyes,
NEW ORLEANS – Simon and Garfunkel have been added to the lineup for this year's New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. The singing-songwriting duo of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel will join the previously announced Jazz Fest lineup that includes Pearl Jam, Aretha Franklin, Van Morrison, The Neville Brothers, Lionel Richie, the Allman Brothers Band and Anita Baker. The festival is scheduled for the weekends of April 23-25 and April 29-May 2 at the Fair Grounds Race Course. Simon and Garfunkel will be on stage on April 24. While Simon has performed at Jazz Fest before, this will be the duo's first time together. Festival organizers say it is also their only planned U.S. appearance for the year.
Since both of these projects will be self-funded by the band, if you’d like to pre-order the CD and/or DVD, you can do that at the merch booth at any of our shows. And most importantly, if you’d like to support us by contributing to the production costs of these fine musical treats, well, you can do that right here. A pledge of $25 or more entitles you to a copy of the DVD upon completion, and a donation in any amount makes you a part of our'List of Loves' -- a section of the liner notes listing all who made this venture possible. Thank you for all of your support and we look forward to having some new tunes and new products for you real soon!
I think I'm going to cry. Mark, I know you ONLY used steroids to rehab......to ALLOW yourself to get well faster after all your injuries, to ALLOW you to work out longer, to ALLOW to to get as big as a fucking horse, which ALLOWED you to hit a home run every 8 times up....even your popups went out. And Tony LaRussa is arrogant in his support.
Hundreds of never-say-die Elvis Presley fans braved frigid, snowy weather to celebrate the (late?) rock'n'roll legend's 75th birthday on Friday at his Graceland shrine, but the King was a no-show. Rumor has it that Presley was spotted wearing a white jumpsuit at a nearby Denny's ordering up a couple Build Your Own Grand Slam breakfasts. - story.jpg) The Incident: We're beat, so we opt for dinner at Mother's, a legendary spot across Poydras from our hotel. The lines are usually long, but we get through in reasonably short order. The Pool Hall Studs, Gumbo and I order our po-boys & Abitas, pay and wait....and wait. Now it gets ugly. We wait some more. Finally, the Studs get their orders, but what about us? No sympathy from them as they stuff their faces full. Gumbo is fuming. It's getting personal. A waitress comes over and tells us, "I asked about your order but they said they didn't know." Then she takes off. "God dammit," cries out Gumbo in his best Patrick Swayze/Dirty Dancing impersonation, bewildering at least three nearby tables, "They're going to pay for this. Nobody does this to the Gumbo (at least he didn't say 'Nobody puts Gumbo in the corner')." The Response: It's official! Johnny Gumbo, in response to a perceived disrespect given him (and his shrimp po boy order) at Mother's Restaurant on Saturday evening, announced today, through his press secretary, that he is leading a boycott of the famous New Orleans landmark. He hopes to use his considerable influence as one of the country's leading event planners to teach Mother's that there are some people you just don't want to mess with. Johnny Gumbo is them people. "Saturday dinner (at Mother's), some low-rent sandwich place with very poor service, the meal was disgusting, would never eat there again, others need to know how bad it is." When asked to comment on the boycott, a Mother's representative replied, "Who the fuck is Johnny Gumbo?" Stay tuned folks, this could get ugly. |

No need to duck, 'cause I was actually saying FOUR, as in The Brownies are going to win number FOUR in a row this afternoon against the JaxJags. Due to yesterday's nasty forecast, we cancelled on the trip to Framingham for the post-Christmas Christmas and the related maybe-we'll-go-maybe-we-won't trip to the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge for the SBBS live album gig. But guess what! SBBS will be appearing at the Beachland Ballroom & Tavern in CLEVELAND on Thursday, January 14th! So, it's ok!
It's got two kinds of pig meat, ham and roast pork, and a slice of white cheese in the shape of New York, so throw on a pickle and pick up your fork, say "el Cubano," that's a Cuban sandwich.
LOS ANGELES – Reclusive Irish singer Van Morrison said Thursday that a computer hacker planted a false report on his Web site claiming he had fathered a fourth child at the age of 64 with a new partner. The false report was disseminated Monday by a Los Angeles-based publicist for Morrison, Phil Lobel. The publicist was quoted by an unidentified associate on Thursday as getting the report from the Morrison site. The false report was picked up by several news agencies, including The Associated Press, as well as celebrity sites and British newspapers. The false report on the Morrison Web site claimed that a woman identified as Gigi had just borne a son with Morrison. The singer issued a statement Thursday through an international public-relations agency stressing that the report was completely false and the malicious product of a hacker's attack on his official Web site, vanmorrison.com. It appeared to be the latest in a rapidly growing string of hoaxes in the Internet age. Digital tricksters increasingly place phony footage, facts and press releases on Web sites and video-sharing sites to see how quickly the falsehoods will spread through traditional and new media alike. - complete article
