I’m going to be really honest with you: after all the fights at the mall to get just the right present for everybody and the giant hassle of going to the Post Office so I can get the perfect stamps for my cards – and then worrying that I left someone off the list – I am just not in the mood to do a 9/11 story.
And it’s been getting worse every year. I mean, just like the “It’s Christmas Every Day Store”, I know there’s one of the “9/11 Every Day” stores open, in the all-too-human form of Rudy Giuliani, and I’ve learned to live with that, but it seems like they got started with the 9/11 earlier than ever this year – and by the time the TV memorials and analysis and retrospectives are all over, to paraphrase Lewis Black…I’m going to hate freedom.
In an effort to stave off this fate, we’ll be headed in a different direction today: I have three stories to pass along; each is important enough that you really should know about them, and yet they’re each very much bite-sized and easily digestible.
It’s all good stuff…so let’s get right to it.
Event: Lagwagon at Ogden Theatre, Thu, Sep 25 7:30p
Lagwagon Santa Barbara 's pride and joy, Lagwagon have been belting 'em out since 1988. Their catchy brand of punk is an infectious blend of pop and hardcore, lyrically tackles an array of personal politics. This punky quintet has secured a massive following worldwide with their solid, tonal attack and hectic touring schedule. With over a million records sold (and all independently, pal!), it's impossible to deny Lagwagon's greatness. All of this is clearly evident with one listen to their latest studio masterpiece, and their ninth full length, Resolve, an album dedicated almost entirely to the recent suicide of former Lagwagon drummer Derrick Plourde. The new record was written in only few short days after the unexpected death of Derrick. Whether songwriter Joey Cape was eager to pay homage to his best friend or just got a burst of inspiration, no one can be sure. But the listener can gather that these songs lean heavily on Lagwagon's older melodic-core and skate-punk influences. Maybe that's the real crux of this new batch of tunes: the band is reaching back to it's earlier sound and the time when Derrick was pounding out a break-beat behind the drums. Regardless of the tragic circumstances, the Lagwagon faithful will no doubt be pleased with this return to form. Lagwagon is an original Fat band'in fact the first band Fat Mike signed!
Obama Visits Berlin and Millions Watch "World Class" Speech
Obama's Berlin Speech
In case you missed it... here is Obama's speech from Berlin.
Fun with John and Cindy
In the main stream media, they have this “equal time” thing. And we spend a lot of time here talking about everything on the Democratic side, obsessively watching the poll numbers move, gearing up for the convention, and the election just 4 months away.
But I think perhaps we should spend a little time on John and Cindy. I’ll try to make sure that there are numbers…..
The first number is the cost of a gallon of gas. If YOU know how much gas costs, you’re miles ahead of the Republican nominee.
Yesterday was a bad, bad day for John and Cindy. SO bad, I barely know where to start.
HHHMMM
