I also find it hard to believe that that lineup will produce the way it did this past year. But, we'll see.

And they should have been treating Nomar like Jeter. The guy is fucking money and all of Boston knows it. He had a few bad games in the playoffs (and was almost the goat in Game 7), but he's the man and deserves better than he's getting.

Nomar's agent is a putz and they misjudged the market. He was offered $15 million before the season, and wanted $17 million. He's never going to get that much now -- he'd be very lucky to get $12. Since he was holding out for more, he's got no business complaining that the team lacks loyalty. He wanted it to be business, so it's business. Hopefully he will recognize this, but to blame the team in these circumstances is f***ed up. They're checking out their other options in reaction to what he's said.

Clearly not Diane Keaton (the actress), who appeared on Leno last night. I can understand the turtleneck to hide the old lady neck. But are her old lady hand so bad she had to wear gloves? I lost it when Jay commented that she could pass for a 19-year old - from behind. I didn't particularly want to see her movie with Jack Nicholson and Bill (or is it Ted?) anyway. Now that I've heard she's doing a nude scene, there's no way I'll see it.

Speaking of, I read a review of the movie that posed the question as to why the movie got a PG-13 rating when DK has full frontal nudity in it. The reviewer posed the question whether the same would have been true if the person baring tits was Amanda Pete (co-star). Basically the premise was that b/c DK is older/mature, whatever, the ratings folks must find it not as likely to turn on the under 17 crowd, thus safer for them to view. Any thoughts?

There was this music festival at this farm outside of Woodstock, see . . .

The New York Thruway's closed man.

A lotta freaks, heh

You mean, kind of how school libraries still stocked the national geographic with the naked African woman on the cover?

On the basis of this article, I have deduced that Sebby is really Rasheed Wallace. E.g., "I'm not going to sit up here like most of these cats and bite my tongue. That's not me." Who knew?

As you were.

I have no gripe with Arlo. He's aged megnificently. Is he the cat who sings "Flying into Los Angeles, bringin in a couple of keys, don't touch my bag, Mr. Customs man, if you please.."?

Indeed.

He was great live. He had symphonic backup on some stuff and some stuff was just him and the guitar. And he is incredibly funny. He made a believer out of Mr Man, who was attending only to humor me. If he comes back, I might fly my mom down for the show. Seriously.

I agree toward the end, Jerry was god awful. But waaay back in the late 60s and 70s, when the Dead were "on", there was no better improvisational rock band on Earth.

I suppose, if you like guitar rifts (I do not).

However, I either wasn't born yet or wasn't old enough yet in the 60's and 70's to know who the dead were, so all I know them from is the 80's and 90's. And in the 80's and 90's, they sucked assholes.

the freaks were always as polite, courteous and willing to share what they had as any group as you could ever find.

But they smelled so bad.

Agreed. It is so much nicer when they get along.

yanks' problem too.

How so? I would love Jeter, Giambi, and Bernie to return to their career averages in every category. Who do you mean?

I agree with the rest of your post. The players' union and the agents together always trick the players into thinking that grabbing as much as they can is the best for them. It's not. It's the best for 3% of the players. But those players take the food out of the mouths of so many of the other players. I think it's fucked up.

I mean the yankees, after several years of dominance in the late 90s have regressed towards the mean, and are not the same powerhouse they were.

Diane wore black leather gloves. Genuinely freakish.

She always wears those. She's a nutjob.

I was going to say that Dylan playing with the Dead was the quintessential guitar rift, but I like yours better.

I was told, by someone who usually knows something about such things, that she is an immense germaphobe, and that is why - unless filming a scene - she is always covered head to toe.

But I'm sure Mr. OC knows someone who knows someone who knows the exact answer.

Let me be the first to heap more praise on Matt & Trey (Parker, not Anastasio, which I'm sure is a direction this music conversation is heding) for last night's South Park episode. I wish there was a "Raisins" in my town.

-edited to add, well, I would have liked a "Raisins" in my town when I was, ya know, 10 or so.

I would agree to the extent that it is not likely to turn them on.
