We Miss You George

"Watch out now, take care

Beware of the thoughts that linger

Winding up inside your head

The hopelessness around you

In the dead of night

Beware of sadness

It can hit you

It can hurt you

Make you sore and what is more

That is not what you are here for"

-excerpt from Beware of Darkness from All Things Must Pass (1970)

Happy Thanksgiving

Here's an appropriate toast, from The Ice Storm:

One More Nugget

I found this clip on YouTube a few days ago...this is the infamous Jimi Hendrix appearance on the Lulu show in 1969 where he and the Experience hijacked the show to pay a cheeky tribute to the just-broken up Cream. The fun happens at 7:44

Saturday YouTube Nugget

A little Everly Brothers for a quiet Saturday night.

God Bless Susie Greene

OK...this might be a touch out of context and a tad profane, but this clip captures what I love about Curb Your Enthusiasm.

"IT'S GONE!!!! IT'S GONE, YOU FUCKING MOTHERFUCKING...I'LL KILL YOU JEFF!!! YOU'RE A COCKSUCKER, MOTHERFUCKER...MY GRANDMOTHER'S BROOCH IS MISSING! I CANNOT REPLACE THIS ITEM! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF SOMETHING YOU CARED ABOUT WAS MISSING?!! YOU DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING, YOU KNOW THAT?!!!"

"...ooh, my baseball cards...."

Friday YouTube Nugget

This week's installment comes courtesy of the dearly missed Muppet Show. Here's Kermit's nephew Robin singing a lovely song adapted from a poem by A. A. Milne - "Halfway Down The Stairs":

Congrats J.P.

Continuing the football wrap-up....any guy that throws for 295 yds, then goes home to pound the skins and pore over Hesse's Steppenwolf is jake with me.

Who Will Rid Me Of This Troublesome Team?

New England's march to perfection rolls right over defending champ Indianapolis and, frankly, it couldn't happen to a more deserving pair. Peyton Manning regained his title as Supreme Choke Artist while his coach, the noted homophobe Tony Dungy, watched helplessly as his team gave away a ten point lead at home with under nine minutes to play in the fourth quarter.

Looks like Buffalo vs. New England (Week 11) is the league's best chance to stop the Patriots' juggernaut. (/daydream)

Two bits of comic relief today:

Thank You, Masked Man by Lenny Bruce

Tracy Morgan, star of NBC's 30 Rock, is interviewed on a local morning news program. He is, shall we say, in good spirits
