Rolling Stones headed for Austin
Word has it that the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band is coming to the world’s live music capital. Look for an announcement next week that the Stones will play Austin’s Zilker Park on Sunday, Oct. 22.
Trivial pursuits vs. life and death
It’s been that kind of week, as we all know.
TV:
This week on “Rock Star: Supernova,” we analyze at Austinite Patrice Pike’s performance in haiku form:
Killed “Helter Skelter”
Still safely in the middle
Who will gun for her?
Nobody on the planet believes Malan Breton is, in fact, from Taiwan. That’s some wack accent he’s sporting.
Even if it’s true, he still deserved the boot. I’m a dude in jeans and a polo shirt and even I knew that dress was terrible. As the wife put it, “He managed to turn that model into an 80-year-old woman.”
Doesn’t this just seem way too depressing for a TV show? I mean, “Testament” as a series? Oy.
On that note…
MIDDLE EAST:
Just in case the coverage on CNN hasn’t been depressing enough, here’s a war blog from a Lebanese musician in Beirut.
Here’s another excellent blog.
Well, heck, here’s an article on bloggers posting live and direct from Lebanon. Within it find several links.
On a lighter note….
COMICS:
We’re in the middle of the San Diego Comic Convention this weekend, or as some like to call it, “Nerd Vegas.” I’m not really a costume guy, but these pictures are always a highlight of my year.
While I did not get to go to Nerd Vegas this year, nor have I ever been, I’ll post some wrap-up links and comics discussion when the Con closes.
