Hey, it's putting money on some tables that need it.  But I'll be impressed when someone convinces 20th C Fox that it'd be a great idea to take the proceeds from the sales of those soap figurines and pump them back into that local economy.

"Rocks Stars More Likely to Die Prematurely" -- no, this isn't from the Onion, it's from Reuters:

Abuse of power?

(There's not much to see after the first minute or two, but that's when the audio starts getting interesting. Not suitable for work, btw.)
Let's get right to it.

Do any of you know anything further about this rumor posted at Gawker.com?

Quote
Reports are filtering in that Air America host Randi Rhodes was severely beaten Monday night while walking her dog on 39th and Park. "Rhodes was beaten up pretty badly, losing several teeth and will probably be off the air for at least the rest of the week," writes Talking Radio. Air America, when reached for comment on the listener call-in line, said, "We don't want to feed the inaccurate rumor mill. Also, we don't know." Though the attacks haven't been reported elsewhere, Rhodes' website does mention that she isn't feeling well and has gone as far as creating a little church sign to that effect. Sam Seder is filling in for her. Murky!

NY Daily News sez she wasn't attacked:

Surprisingly bad taste from Tom Sienestra...

Wow. Tom's been sniffin' glue, methinks. And so's the editor who approved that piece. Weird.

Apparently Gerry Rafferty didn't give up the booze or the one-night stands.  Or pay Raphael Ravenscroft anything for the "Baker Street" riff:

there are slight echoes of the Peter Green saga, as far as the endless royalties, and unhappiness.  I'd always hoped to see Gerry Rafferty one day, but maybe it won't happen.
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!
