I love the gems my pal, Johnny Bacardi, finds.
“I’m not complaining about the Kimmel jokes - I’m fair game. I’m complaining about the revenge element. It reminds me of O’Reilly” — Keith Olbermann revealing yet again that despite trying to act like he is not thin-skinned, he actually is. I admired the guy years ago—and still appreciate his acumen as a sports analyst. But his inability to see the self-destructive way in which he conducts himself as a businessman is disappointing.

Ken Shane pays tribute to the great Levon Helm
“It is important to mention here how the Woodstock community came together to help Levon when he needed their help the most. The reason they did was simple; Levon had been a committed neighbor who never stopped contributing to his community. So those people who volunteered to direct visitors to parking at the Rambles, or take their tickets at the gate, or do one of a thousand little tasks that helped to make the Ramble experience special? They were there for Levon.”
A remembrance of Helm, including the down times. The idea that someone as talented as Helm ended up playing an ice skating rink shocks me. And yet, I bet he did not care.

Never knew that Levon Helm appeared in a 1987 film with Kevin Bacon.
“When you croak, what’ll they talk about?” — From an April 28, 1975 People magazine profile of Robert Blake.

I love the ying/yang nature of the park next to the sprawling metropolis.

I wish every musician were like Mike Doughty and would document odd backstage elements of their tour like this.
