What’s the most swinging jazz…
I was in the car listening to the radio the other day. I complain about jazz sometimes having once been a serious jazzhead and semi-serious gigging jazz bassist. But every once in a while I’ll hear some straight ahead combo stuff that is just swingin’. Swangin’! I mean, on the money and in the pocket. [...]

Zombies
Did you see in the news the other week about the zombie festival? Or the zombie concert thing? Or all the people shambling down the streets of Boston in a kind of zombie parade? I mean really. Who are these zombie obsessed people?

When’s the last time you pooped your pants? Come on. Don’t lie. I mean as an adult. I’ll just say this. It’s how I found out that for me it’s just my body’s way of telling me, “Hey. You’re allergic to shrimp now.”

Most Incredible Mountain Bike Run EVER (VIDEO). I really want to embed this video, but doesn’t look like I can. This is amazing for a few reasons. I can’t do any of it. I’m a little too old and heavy to be airborne for that long. You don’t try to jump the Grand Canyon in [...]

Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
I swear to you that I don’t always write about racial stuff. I promise. But tonight I do. I feel awkward doing so while listening to Elvis Costello. It just doesn’t feel right.

Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome. Happy Saturday. Man, what a week. So, beginning on Sunday I expect that Washington DC is going to be a very different venue. I and a lot of others will be working from home on Monday and Tuesday. Part of me wants to go hang out amongst all those revelers, but [...]

The Gender Card
You know what I think is funny? I’m writing this like people are reading it. A little ego involved, maybe? But then again, this is the internets. Heck, even the President himself could Google “Palin McCain Obama Iced Tea personals bachelor” and stumble across this. Okay. Let’s get to it. I’m all in a tizzy [...]
