Yeah, I’m on a Bruce Springsteen binge tonight. What of it?

Steinbeck, Springsteen, and Morello.

I’m a huge fan of John Steinbeck, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Morello. This is an amazing thing. First, the closing scene of Grapes of Wrath. If you haven’t seen the film, don’t watch. As a matter of fact, read the book, THEN watch the film, then you can watch.

Now, this is Bruce Springsteen doing his [...]

Random observation

The Deftones doing acoustic versions of their songs sound like a whinier Radiohead. I didn’t think it was possible to sound whinier than Radiohead.

MIA and Happy Birthday

Does anyone know what happened to Mr. Stone? He hasn’t blogged for over a month. I KNOW he hasn’t run out of things to rant about.
On a completely unrelated note, my blog turned 2 on Saturday. Feliz Cumpleanos, blog.

Oil wrestling+bikinis=website hits!

Remember that thing I told you about oil wrestling? Y’all didn’t believe me, did you? Check this fantastic set of pictures out.

Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love.

Philadelphia sports fans are notorious douchebags. However, The Wing Bowl sounds like the sort of event that makes the average Eagle/Flyer/76er/Phillies fan sound like a perfect gentleman. I’m so going.

Dem Rays is da Devil!

That game last night was ridiculous. First Marmol hitting two batters in a row, then Eyre coming in and giving up a grand slam on his first pitch, immediately followed by a triple and a double. Nauseating. I’d like to think this happened because TB is really good, and not because the Cubs are slumping. [...]
