"There's Something About Wilco" = Great Reporting from CBS Cynthia Bowers = What a Nice Little Piece ...
Wilco has been in the music scene for nearly two decades but, as Cynthia Bowers reports for CBS, they may be finally getting the mainstream popularity many say they deserve.
It cracks me up to hear Jeff Tweedy's son, Spencer, in all his nonchalant cool honesty when asked about this rock & roll lifestyle.

Will Megyn Kelly GQ photos cause as much fuss as Diane Sawyer's Vanity Fair cover?
Megyn Kelly in the December 2010 issue of GQ (Alexei Hays/GQ); the infamous Diane Sawyer cover of Vanity Fair, September 1987
The newswoman posed in a fetching black dress, shoulders bared, glancing flirtatiously from behind a tousle of blonde hair. And everyone went berserk.
"Pure cheesecake," said the New York Daily News. "Steamy," declared the Oregonian. And from many quarters, concern she was undercutting her credibility.
"However pleasing she may be to the eye," declared a Washington Post colleague, "why does a respected professional surrender to the urging that she pose for come-hither photographs?"
Megyn Kelly in the new GQ? Heck, no. Who knows what they'll be saying in coming days about the Fox News anchor's astonishing photo shoot? The uproar described above was set off in September 1987, when Diane Sawyer posed for a Vanity Fair cover that now seems demure, even dignified, with the hindsight of 23 years. History will reflect that she went on to become anchor of ABC World News.
Back to Kelly. GQ informs us that's not actually a dress but "Slip by Dolce & Gabbana. Bra by Agent Provocateur." In her Q&A in the December issue, she says yeah, the glass table on Fox's set shows off her legs: "It's a visual business. People want to see the anchor." She doesn't like the word "feminist" because "there is a message that if you are sexy and you acknowledge that. . . then it's somehow an affront to women."

The Psychologist
The psychologist was giving his professional medical opinion to the school that day. He had called the young 14 year old in his office and told him so. Traffic flowed below the downtown office. Grinding gears, squealing brakes, car horns and the sound tires make when travelling on wet roads all formed a symphonic sound that excited his youthful heart and spirit. It was still as beautiful as always – he could see the true colors of it all when he was with the doctor and, then on his way, riding home off into the early winter sunset down along the blvd headed to the west where his home was nestled in the hills above a little town, big rail yards and river.
He wasn't thinking of the drive home though – not yet. The doctor was telling him his professional medical opinion he was going to give to the school. The office was masculine and austere and yet warm and bright for him despite having to be there in the first place let alone in the drag of such a grey day. "You have been exposed to more than most of your peers – and, for that matter, even some of your teachers. You are extremely intelligent and quite capable. I feel that you are bored and they do not how to challenge you. You are intelligent and strong willed and there is nothing wrong with it. I feel they just don't know how to deal with you and it's not your fault. It's not a problem. It's theirs. Good luck, young man. I know you'll do very well."

Saturday Morning with Her Sunday Shoes
Sun light falling
Down from the
Morning rise on
The coffeehouse
Wooden floors -
Through the wide
Open door with
People walking in
With money to buy.
I can tell her beauty
Behind the counter
Is contagious to the
Type of blood my
Veins run with ...
She eats pumpkin
Ice cream. Wants me
Addicted - her telepathy
Is infectious and wants
Me addicted to her world
It's why she's contagious.
But I over hear her tell
Her story of how it's only
Just a cold, just a cough.
Her black eyes beaming
With thoughts of capture.

October: Glee




The most important jam session of my life
and I'm all alone
At home alone
although I've found a wife
I'm home all alone
fingering her neck. Laguna
I paid $1, 000.00 minus a discount. What
a discount for my Laguna.
The most important jam session of my life
And I'm all alone. All home alone tonight
and I'm fingering her neck
An empty bottle of 1792 Bourbon Whiskey
-- Ridgemont Reserve Select
And a heavy glass with ice
My Laguna six string
All alone at home. And, fingering her neck

What is the appeal of JustSeen.com?
Other than an online scavenger hunt type thing? I don't feel any need to logon there.
So what?! ... In L.A. I have seen EDdie Murphy in a Starbucks (isomewhere in L.A. I don't even know where I was); Leonardo DiCap, Lindsay Lohan (sigh) and Lucy Lui and other people I knew and didn't even know of in the super super cool (and hot) hotel I was staying in; + Christina A. In the VIP section of Hyde; Rusted Root's Michael Glabicki backstage at the L.A. House of Blues on Sunset in West Hollywood ...
I mean, other than Glabicki being backstage because he was doing something (rockin' the hell out of the House of Blues on Sunset Blvd) and, well, Leonardo doing a photo shoot in a Tux w/ canvas converse lounging poolside and then falling backwards into the salt water pool in that Tux and those black converse --- what's there to report and care about? It was also cool seeing Eddie, Lindsay (sigh), Christina (sigh ... Now she's divorced from that bottom feeder) ... What's the big deal ... It's normal everyday life?! ... What, are we so obsessed w/ interesting, good looking, gifted aura people's everyday life that we use the new media to broadcast it everywhere so ordinary people can share the vibrations that Celebs create on their particular strands of web in the web of life ... Everyday life ... (I just saw Madonna in Pittsburgh ... She was smiling at me and we had total eye sex on the sidewalk) ...

Is My Bald Spot Bigger Than Jeff Tweedy's
All the talk at the door
Behind an unjeweled crown
Static of soft gray rain clouds
Steamy mirror, rear of my head
How's my bald spot tonight, today
This morning; loose fur forgetting
Flowers; the boy with poetry power
An American aquarium drinker and
A disposable Dixie Cup drinker; Taxi
Cabs driving us around downtown.
And so how's my bald spot tonight,
Today, this morning? Like growing
With the genius of a favorite artist?

Subject: Maybe I am a little rockstar
Just cause I don't get paid for it maybe I can accept that maybe I am a little rockstar and fuck the people who have been saying it about me (like that's what i'm trying for = i have been who i am since about 8 or 9 when i started writing lyrics, drinking wine & espresso, smoking ciggs and chasing women, playing electric bass guitar and six string acoustic but also balanced as a little steady rain maker = people & money = track record) ... Some poeple just possess the non-thing-ness that's rock star = i guess. It's like when people used try and tell me someone isn't a writer unless they make their living that way and that way only.

...so I was looking for to a week at Chataqua Lake, NY after a whirl-wind trip in California which was intensely successful and a yet a joy too = Though all the way around calling for some time w/ my loving wife and Parker Bean.
The drive here I had some clarity and tuned-in to those who once inhabited this sacred land = who laughed here, hunted, here, fished here, danced here, chanted here, prayed here, married here, had children here, loved here, learned here, taught here, fought here, planted here, grew here, harvested here, built here, were grateful and thankful for the Sun, Moon and Stars and passed down myths here............
and from then until now I prayed for peace in the minds, bodies, spirits and souls of all those who walked and rode and lived here .............
I felt as clear as strong receiver of a radio = being able to transmit and receive radio waves.
Sunday night I had a disturbing dream about two guys breaking into a home and terrifying two sisters and the sisters knowing their impending death by the hands of these two horrible horrible men.
I then became extremely freaked-out and could not sleep last night when I had the realization that the two men that was in my dream were the two men from the putrid Connecticut break-in and murders = that poor poor poor family
= may the minds, bodies, souls and spirits of the mother and two sisters find peace and comfort with all the force, light, love and joy of the universe with all the force, light and momentum of the universe with all the healing magical powers of running water............
I don't feel at ease here in Mayville on Valley Street after sunset.
We're just gonna stay one more day here boating on the lake and just one more night here and then check into the Ritz-Carlton in Cleavland and go see the Doors exhibit at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
I will continue to pray for the family in Connecticut.Best of the Roses,John French mystrawhat.comEveryday There's SomethingMySpace URL

It's not a "live" video and not some over produced cheesy MTV Velveeta sales pitch = but just some video taken during the famous and legendary Exile on Main Street time period ... And, well, if you don't get it, well, that's too bad "you're a sad tomato, baby! ... a real sad tomato" ... and that's too bad! ... and, just forget about it ...
