Speaking of, Crossroads Guitar Festival was this weekend. Not sure how Dallas ended up being picked for this benefit show, but it was quite cool. I only went yesterday evening (some were out in the heat all weekend for it), but I saw the following:

Joe Walsh
Vince Gill
James Taylor (Joe Walsh came out and played with him for one song)
BB King
jam with BB King, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Vaughn, Buddy Guy and (odd) John Mayer
Carlos Santana
Eric Clapton
Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton

Left before ZZ Top and supposed all star jam at the end. RT, you should have come up...

The most amazing collection of non-stop legends I have ever seen or heard of. And don't forget:

Steve Vai
George Lynch
Andy Timmons
Larry Carlton
Eric Johnson
Skunk Baxter
Robert Cray
Robert Randolph
JJ Cale
Steve Cropper, Donald Duck Dunn (a Blues Brothers reunion)
etc., etc.

Of course Nuno the flake was a no show (just like on Reuniting the Bands on VH1).

Kind of makes me sad to watch that one. I was equally bummed out yesterday at the Crossroads Guitar Festival when his brother Jimmie played Texas Flood because his little brother couldn't be there. Very sad.

You Texans and your guitar festivals. How do these even compare to being surrounded by high-class hookers? (Besides the obvious "Strummin' my pain with their fingers," of course.)

I've seen Jimmie play a couple of times since Stevie Ray died, and he always makes sure to give some sort of tribute to SRV. I only saw Stevie play once. He was amazing.

I remember the day he died. I was running, and I was listening to the local rock station on my walkman. The DJ was practically in tears when she read the news. There were memorial services set up in all of the clubs in Houston, and a lot of people around here knew him.

Damn. That seems like almost too much to absorb. I imagine that the local Guitar Center will have brisk sales this week.

So, what did people think about the season finale?

I liked it (B+), but as with most other seasons, the best episode of the season was the penultimate.

I would watch my hardon go away before I watched the Sopranos. Especially when you got Lakers/Pistons on.

A lot of women in TX look like hookers. Some of them even look high-class.

I, of course, look like a low-class non-hooker. Because I am too fat and ugly to be a hooker. I can only dream. Etc. etc. etc.

Edited per ncs's note. I assume she is putting her comma inside the quote marks, like a good American.

In Texas, all the women look like high class hookers anyway, so the experience is quite similar.


ETA: Beat by fringey, who is in the process of changing her "to" to a "too", I assume.

EFTA: No can do on the comma, fringey, as the partners here have beaten me into submission on that one. If you start writing my paycheck, perhaps I'll reconsider my position on this topic.

Good point. Other than that sort of thing could turn into a very long night that takes two days to recover from. In theory.

I would be happy to scribble on your paycheck any time you like. Just send it over with your signature (and nothing else) on the back.

Speaking of odd videos, anyone else see the Peanuts version of Hey Ya? It's classic.

Links are hard to come by since United Features did a very good job of cracking down on the perps for trademark infringement. But if you google and drill down a few pages you may be able to find a live one.

Or, if you're lazy, click here. {Sound when you click the link within the link.} Thanks, Anne. I just found out Linus was doing the Roger Rabbit* in 1965.

*Or the Cabbage Patch. I get these confused. Pretty much lost interest after the Charleston.

You know those little multi-colored things that get put on top of ice-cream? They can also be had in chocolate variety?

These:


What are they called?

Either sprinkles or jimmies.

Did I go to college with you?

ETA if we did go to college together, one of us should remember which area of the country calls them jimmies. And that will have to be you, because I can't remember if it's the upper midwest or the northeast.

When they are multicolored, they are "rainbow jimmies." When they are, as depicted, chocolate, they are "chocolate sprinkles," because not even a child can bring emself to say "chocolate jimmies" to a man in a paper hat.
