Uniondale January 29th, 2009

The drive to Uniondale Long Island type thingie yo was actually aces. I made it in 2 1/2 hours. That's a record. I only spent half hour in the hell that is Staten Island!

Anyway, it's perhaps my favorite NE tune. Along with Magic Johnson,

The Music Died 50 Years Ago Today

Today marks the 50th anniversary of one of rock and roll's earliest tragedies. On February 3rd 1959, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson (a.k.a.

Final Results of the Super Bowl Halftime Show Poll

Chalking up exactly half of the votes, Prince was chosen as the artist who gave the best halftime performance during The Super Bowl.

Maybe because it was awhile ago (1993) people didn't
