Thurs 5/19/05: another artist salute thingy, 10 by Broooce (guess he's in NYC tonite).

Oy: If so, I'm totally oblivious.  I'd like to see Bruce live sometime before he retires, but not in support of the D&D album, which I just didn't find gripping enough to buy after one listen.

here's one of my fave obscure Bruce tunes: "Ramrod".  At the time I thought it was hilarious that he had TWO songs named after NYC gay bars ("Badlands" being the other). LOL!

And now one of his new songs includes references to anal sex. Hmmm.

Oh, heck- I dunno. But remember when he married that Hollywood starlet and then divorced her super-fast but then hooked up with Patty Whatshername who was more "fan approved"?

I dunno- but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck- it just might be oriented towards drakes if you get what I'm sayin....  :D

I always thought he got a total free pass from the rock press about Julianne -- if Sammy Hagar had married some actress/model and then dumped her because she didn't want to have kids (supposedly the reason for the Bruce/Julianne split), can you imagine what a macho pig HE would've been made out to be?

Well, that is if anyone cared about Sammy Hagar! But, seriously- you've got a good point there.

OT: Wasn't that one of the factors involved in the Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt breakup? I mean, besides Angelina Jolie (whose good at adopting children).

Ah, but this is America- where you're supposed to get married so you can have kids. Or rather- have kids and not go to hell for fornicating. So, if your wife doesn't want to have kids- well, what are you supoosed to do? Stay married to such a heartless woman who won't procreate in a Bible-approved way? Bruce had no choice!

So... how many kids to Bruce and Patty Whatshername have exactly?

ETA: 3. He's got 3 kids. I wonder if any of them will grow up to be rock stars. In this twisted world- they'll probably grow up to be Republicans.

Tues 5/24/05: 1991

Dire Straits, "The Bug" -- nice, and I'd love to hear the Mary-Chapin Cartpenter version on the radio again someday.

Wed. 5/25: It's 1989

Woke up in time for the Smithereens' "A Girl Like You," which threatens to put me back to sleep.  Just feels kind of pedestrian to me.

Followed by their superior rivals, the Pixies (again), with "Here Comes Your Man."  Makes me want to revisit Frank Black's "Los Angeles," which I only remember for its dream-like coda and John Flansbergh-directed video (surrealistic futuristic bumper-cars traversing about a desert).

Wow, they played an obscurity ("This One") from McCartney's album -- we can't even get Dave to play the hit "My Brave Face"!

Wasn't listening, but Jeff Healey did have hit with "Angel Eyes."  Peaked at 11 in September of '89.
