Wow, that guy can flat-out PLAY. I gotta forward this to a friend in Oakland who's a bit of a uke junkie.

Judging from the url, you'd think this was some sort of frat humor site.  I was not expecting such a transcendent performance.  George Harrison would have loved it.

Was quite amused to see that article, too, particularly since Sarah & I had gone to the Alameda fair on Sunday, the day Starship played. Sorry, Gaz, we didn't watch them at all (although I was curious if any other original-ish members besides Mickey Thomas were on board--Donny Baldwin maybe?)

If Mickey Thomas was there then I HIGHLY doubt Donny Baldwin was -- allegedly it was Donny who beat the living shit out of Mickey in a bar, terminating their 1989 tour and effectively terminating what was left of the band.

but before the comic, note that Morford debuts in print today in the Chron Datebook section.  So Wed & Fri we get Mark & Don both.

The one with Paris Hilton got a big laugh out of me--great slogan, great execution.

One of the best "Missed Connections" I've yet seen on Craigslist:

Today's a good day to read the Datebook section of the Chron.

You got your Morford (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2005/07/22/notes072205.DTL), and you got your Asmussen (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2005/07/22/DDASMUSSENBR.DTL).

One finger salute

I'm thinking this is old, maybe even posted here already, but hey, if you haven't seen this:

http://anon.salon.speedera.net/anon.salon/media/2004/10/BushUncensored.mov

on the other hand, this is supposed to be new, just from Wednesday or so I believe:

I can't tell which finger it is.

From this week's Onion:

Frances Bean Cobain Enters Prehab

LOS ANGELES—Frances Bean Cobain, the 12-year-old daughter of serial substance abuser Courtney Love and deceased rock legend Kurt Cobain, entered the River Phoenix Elementary Prehabilitation Clinic Monday. "Although Frances Bean does not have a substance-abuse problem yet," publicist Cindy Guagenti said, "we thought it prudent to enroll her in an introductory six-step 'pretox' program." The $7,500-a-week facility has previously prepared celebrity children such as Maddox Jolie and Lourdes Ciccone.

Gaz and Mike will particularly appreciate this. I'm told it's updated quite frequently so it's worth checking back every day or so

And the same thing with a local angle, not kept up so regularly though:
