Mike Watt on The Who bassist John Entwistle:



dearly will miss your thunderfingers
rest easy, ox
always part of you
in the bassist part of me
on that ed sullivan show
when you did "my generation" right
w/that bass solo
the cameraman
focused on townshend
stupid fuck
(the cameraman, not pete)
wow how he wowed me
much
taught me
much
don't be afraid, watt
charge hard
let your bass
sing
your young man blues

If you've seen minority report then you've seen Samantha Morton. I'm sure I'm not in the minority to report she's damn good.

ok, that's it. no more caffeine for me.

Here's a Haggar vs. Roth show review from the LA Weekly. I'm sure the fans were disappointed they actually performed music, 'cause from the promotion of the gig, I thought they was a Rasslin', instead.

There's a Pre-Show Parking Lot I would have loved to have waded through.

oooooh ooooh the goo goo dolls are on Storytellers. Finally ! - we, the lucky public, are able to catch just a glimpse into the history of those timeless musical movements sung by Johnny. I have a question, though: who is the gal in that cbgb t-shirt? she's a cute one, whoever she is.

And Oh those songs !- once played everywhere, now really only heard in the waiting room at the dentists office or muffled at a red light, blaring from some ugly person's cheap stereo in the car next to us.

set those vcr's !

John Entwistle is Dead.

last night was oddly strange, amazing, but definitely cool. kirstin and I went to the LA Indy film festival to see The Rough South of Larry Brown. It was amazing. I love documentaries. This one told the story of Southern short story master Larry Brown. What a character. It's narrated by vic chesnutt, who also provides the music. It cut to performances of a couple of his short stories, one of which starred will patton. damn good. his style is similar to raymond carver, with a shot of william faulkner. in short, up my alley. make sure to check this out when it's near you. while I was saving a seat for kirstin, who was stuck in traffic, I talked with this woman alyson who offered me a ticket to the next film, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart - the doc of W I L C O's crazy past couple of years, mainly focused on their recent (brilliant) album. the film had been sold out for a while. I love wilco and have suffering thinking I would miss it. So I took the ticket and as the larry brown doc ended, we met a friend of hers, johnny, who was waiting in line for the wilco film. nice guy. looked familiar. he had made copies of bootlegs of steve earle and wilco for the absent friend, and so he just gave them to me. nice guy. so we mention the fact we both look familiar, so we talk about our recent history and it turns out I taught his sister Lori a year and a half ago at Whole World Theater in Atlanta. small world, folks. very strange. LA is a huge town. wow. so that's my story. oh yeah, the film is great. I got to meet the director sam jones afterwards. he's broke and eagerly waiting the widespread release of the film. Go See It.

Sometimes, and recently, especially, I Love this Shit Town.

Hi It's me. remember me ? kool bobby? Been travelling about. It's good to be back. had a wonderful time in atlanta. I realized how much I miss my friends there. sarah baker and bobby, adam and angela, troy and jennifer. damn. I miss them a bunch. wish we were all together, but not in the ATL, which is now the Biggest Corporate Yuppy Town I've Ever Seen. It's bad. I knew it was turning that way when I was there, but I had no idea how bad it has become. Thank God I live in LA, huh?

natalie portman has now completely taken over my dreamworld.

UPDATE: this article was about her possible bi-sexuality, which included a quote about her uninhibited desire for women. But IMDB has pulled it. did anyone see it? was it there yesterday? I want to know !

Gone travellin'

Be Back in a few days .

I'm off to vegas for a couple of days. Yes, you can meet me there. I'll be by the pool with my sister. I'm performing at Caesars by the way.

(by "performing" I mean gambling -- heh heh. you see, some folks will read that sentence and think, "damn, kool bobby", and I'll be all-like "yeah".)

play the affleck is a joke contest

2002 World Cup - United States 3, Portugal 2 YES !

I still don't like knowing the score before seeing the game, but this big of an upset is definitely news. Good News !

conyers power will give him the force.

Affleck fun-time continues !!

you know he had his own website with pictures and shit everywhere. quite fitting, really. what a tool. he hired a friend of a friend to run it for him. no joke. I saw it like 2 years ago and it was AWFUL. then, recently, I realized that it was awfully-funny in a way that validates him as a certified tool. of course when I went back to it, he had probably either a) caught wind of the smell of cheese coming from it, or b) someone who actually cares for him told him of it's scent du frommage, and , thus, he took it off the web. but someone, somewhere may have an old cached copy of it somewhere. if so, please let us know. comedy depends on it.

The Official Ben Affleck Website gives us a teasing glimpse into the pre-site designs, including (gasp!) ben's hand-written plans for the site ( ooh I'm wet ) but, alas, no site in sight.

to punish him for this, here's a ben affleck joke contest:

put in a punchline to this joke and let's see who can come up with the best one.

here's the lead-in:

what's the difference between the "drunk" ben affleck and the new "clean-and-sober" ben affleck ?

ben affleck is a worthless tool

from IMDB

Players from Ben Affleck's favorite baseball team have lashed out at the movie star over comments he made about them on national TV. The actor was a guest commentator on Fox's coverage of the clash between Affleck's heroes the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays last week. Affleck shocked the regular sports pundits on the show by criticizing players, especially Red Sox pitcher Rolando Arrojo. Second baseman Lou Merloni told the Boston Globe he didn't like how Affleck said the Sox had made "a mockery" of his career by sending him to the minors several times. Merloni said, "What's really a mockery is Affleck's last four movies." The actor also criticized Trot Nixon for not hitting left handed pitches well, prompting Nixon to say Affleck's acting, "is just as bad". Nixon ranted, "Matt Damon made you what you are, slick."

hilarious. a snippet, from this article about pamphlets handed out to host citizens of co-host country Japan about how to handle "English soccer hooligans." yesterday annie and I were laughing about this meshing of cultures during the world cup.

"Please understand that the majority of England supporters are quiet and friendly, and only want to enjoy the game. There are a small number of people who call themselves "soccer fans" and go to games to cause trouble. But real fans hate them.

Some supporters are very noisy. You might feel frightened by their big bodies and their large numbers. But please don't view them only as a threat. Be generous and try to understand and share their enthusiasm for soccer."
