Rock Hard Times & It’s a Beautiful Day
I started out thinking I was going to post a video clip for Download 07 Rock Hard Times
I heard it this morning while reading the latest shit storm forecasts and thought it was rather timely. It's a great song, but I then decided to go with the more ironic and upbeat (sounding anyway) "Mr. E's Beautiful Blues" Besides it had a better video clip.
God Damn Right – It's a Beautiful Day. Uh huh.
And we’re Back!
Here's a nice bit of comedic commentary – Proposition 8 – The Musical!

Once upon a Time I used to write this kind of thing. Now I let the experts do it.
Iggy and The Stooges Get Ripped Off!
The following was lifted directly from www.iggypop.com without permission as Iggy would insist:
The Detroit Free Press reports that Iggy
& The Stooges gear was stolen on the morning of Aug 4 in Montreal,
Canada. Take a look at the equipment and keep an eye out for the
instruments. Of course the band is continuing their tour with new and
borrowed equipment.
"Hey! I think I see one of the Amps!"
"The Michigan-bred rock band is counting
its losses after this morning’s theft of its rented tour truck, packed
with all of the group’s instruments and stage gear.
The equipment’s dollar value is estimated to be in the tens of
thousands, said Eric Fischer, the band’s road manager. But he described
some items as priceless — including the vintage Gibson bass that had
been Mike Watts’ go-to instrument since his Minutemen days in the 1980s.
“That bass would go in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame someday if we
could find it,” said Fischer. “We’re all just gutted.”
A full list and photos of the stolen gear can be seen HERE .
While we are on the subject of Iggy and the Stooges – scheduled to
hit the North Stage at the Virgin Mobile Festival on Sunday at 4:50PM
For those who are expecting to hear "Lust for Life" you
probably have a better chance if you call Royal Caribbean and get
placed on hold. This is a STOOGES tour. Here is a set list from a
recent Show.
