About 400 elementary- and middle-school students taking part in the Shenendehowa Inventors program will display their inventions at the former Cotton Market store at Clifton Park Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The first Vedder show in Hawaii featured a moonwalk but no J5 songs, according to preliminary fan reports.
The high-quality Thriller LP is backordered. Too bad. I listened to Thriller on CD yesterday and noted, amomg other things, the "hee-haww" ryhthm break in "Wanna Be Startin Something" was not nearly as satisfying as it is on vinyl. Or maybe it's that I'm not 10 years old and wearing headphones.
It is, without question, time to focus. Championship complacency has seeped into New England sports fandom. For the Red Sox farewell to Yankee Stadium, it's time to summon the ghost of Aaron "$%^&" Boone. I know one player, a heroic Tuesday night starting pitcher who has never used HgH, who will never forget that dark moment. Let's fire up the anti-New York passion and take a first step toward shedding the Super Bowl hangover.
The live album "Babylon By Bus" by Bob Marley and the Wailers is a near-perfect companion to any outdoor barbeque. That album is, in my mind, like one long summer song.
I'd toss Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" into the same category.
In fact, any barbeque that features "Babylon by Bus" followed by "The Chronic" is a certified gold-quality event.
I admit it. I know who the New England Sports Fan is. It's Eddie Vedder.
Here's another good wager-type question. James Taylor performed the national anthem before last night's Celtics win, guess two of the remaining singers who will sing a Finals anthem?
"This philosophy dovetailed nicely with my own lack of wealth." That's funny.
But seriously, I too have an affinity for relatively cheap silkscreen posters. The World War II propaganda posters are cool but their modern decendants, the rock tour poster, are even cooler.
Below, see Brad Klausen's recent Eddie Vedder poster for a $5 solo show at some hall in Seatlle. Last Sunday Klausen sold these rare prints for, I think, $30 apiece on his Web site. But he only told people on the Artillery Design mailing list about the sale.
I missed the sale but have to say that it would have dovetailed nicely with my own lack of wealth.
The mid-range city-sponsored festival is best for a 19-25 year old person who plans to drink beer, dance and walk around. The rest of the people - families, police officers or reporters - just want to leave. But part of the reason those people want to leave is: they know how to enjoy a festival but cannot.
I mean, who could listen to Albany Tulip Fest headliner Spin Doctors without a full cooler? My God, not me.
1. Led Zeppelin (The super popular albums are great but go watch some live Knebworth 78 or 79 from the Zeppelin-issued DVD. The band plays "Achilles Last Stand" and it's real good. Zep wasn't done making great and innovative music. It's sad.)

The Kiese Laymon essay is insightful.
