Van Halen will play the NOLA arena on 6/26. All dates past that were scraped from the itinerary last week, w/o explaination. Left to our own devices, the lack of detail led many of us to believe that maybe the fighting that had plagued Van Halen during in the early years had reignited over the last few months on the road. NOT SO, says David Lee Roth, in this video taped from a forrest in MN (???).

W is for Will Ferrell, and for his reprisal of George "Dubya" Bush in the opening skit of SNL this past weekend. The King of Bacchus was inserted perfectly into a sketch likening Joe Biden's unscripted moments (such as his support of gay marriage) to that of a child who does something great, but never has any of the fun! Even if the VP was given to having imaginary friends, he does know for a fact that George does exist!
This is from President Obama's first White House Easter Egg Hunt after he took office in 2009. He's reading "Where The Wild Things Are" by the late Maurice Sendak to a bunch of kids. About 24 seconds into this video, he is sure to point a moment of dog eating in the story. Well, you know the President was served dog meat as a child while in Indonesia. Obama reading Sendak's classic years later on the White House lawn, seals the connection between the two. It only then stands to reason, that Sendak, an openly gay man who had been indoctrinating our children for decades, is one of the original architechs of the Obama adminstration, and he set that ball rolling in 1963 when "Wild Things" first hit the shelves. You know what else happened in 1963? Oh, I don't know; a little thing called the assasination of JFK!!!! Are we to believe that these events are just a coincidence? Please, we're too smart for that!
There, top that paranoid rant Glenn Beck! and may Elohim bless Mitt Romney's hair!

"Saturday Night Live" opened this week's show with a parody of "Fox and Friends," the morning show on Fox News. But the NBC comedy program's parody of Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson and Brian Kilmeade was hardly a caricature of the lengths that the cable program reaches in portraying a hard-right agenda in covering non-partisan topics. If only actually watching Fox News was this funny:
Check out Bruce Springsteen paying tribute to the late Levon Helm, included The Boss and gang trying their hand out at the classic The Band song "The Weight"
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' took to the stage at the fairgrounds for the first time this past Saturday night, for a 2-hour + set that featured an array of lesser-known tracks, several covers, and inventive renditions of fan favorites. Petty, 61, looked exceptional for the occasion; his scruffy hair & beard in bright contrast to his blue pinstriped suit; gave a near flawless performance, as did The Heartbreakers.
