You are listening too . .  .
Jeff Buckley’s version of the great Leonard Cohen song, Hallelujah.  What can I say about both these AMAZING artists.

First Cohen.  Cohen, like Tom Waits is one of the most amazing songwriters, poets, and writers, many have never really heard of.  They broke at about the same time, and both began experimenting in similar genres at about the same time.  Cohen songs, this one being a great example, touch on isolation, sexuality, and inter personal relationships, in a way many can just not write.  He has heavily influenced everyone from the individual Beatles to Public Enemy, and many of his songs have been covered thousands of times (Suzanne, Bird on a Wire, this song, I’m Your Man, etc).  He is being inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.  Many people also might be familiar with John Cale’s amazing version of this song, from Shrek.

Now Jeff Buckley.  Buckley was a singer-songwriter born in 1966.  His amazingly ethereal voice, which still haunts me and touches my heart, was set to become perhaps one of the most promising musical voices of Generation X.  His debut Album, 1994’s Grace is one of the best albums in my collections of almost 2500.  Buckley unfortunately drowned as his star was rising in an accident while swimming in a tributary of the Mississippi River.  Wiki has a very good article on him.

Congressional Hearing on Steroids in Baseball
Ok, I watched some of this drivel.  Some of it was interesting (Tejada), and it is always fun to see Donald Fehr squirm.  But, some of these Congressmen and women, you would think they would do some research.  There were some really inane questions, more about looking good for your constituents than they were in solving MLB’s problems.

Randy Couture v. The UFC
Well this got a bit more nasty.  It will be interesting to see where this heads in this young sport.

Jonestown
Seem Dingus and Doofus have either given up, committed suicide, or were killed in a terrorist bombing.  But thanks anyway for increasing the viewership on the video almost 20 times, and making it a relative video search link for Jonestown (yeah, it’s like on the third page of Google Video Searches).

Wow, check out the Michigan Primary
Looks like Clinton in a landslide, and Mitt “Thetan” Romney.  I suppose I need to blame the Romney part on Mike.  As for Hillary, not too hard to win with out Obama or Edwards on the ballet.

Hey Britney
You could end up like Brad Renfro!  Was he important enough to anyone for a DMDSS RIP?

Hey Tequila Mockingbird
You designed the bridge all wrong.  Be glad you date a lawyer, your are gonna need one.

RIP
Vampira . . . do people who play vampires sex pots go to Heaven?

Ruddle me this Batman.
If you are creating a cloned creature from another creature, wouldn’t these cloned creatures be exactly the same as the original?  Am I wrong?

Damn
I so wanted to claim my cat in this years taxes.
