For your Saturday entertainment …

In honor of the late, great one, who once urged people to "give peace a chance" and said nobody had really truly tried it: "Gandhi tried it. Martin Luther King tried it. But they were shot." Prophetic?

If Jeff Garcia wasn't deeper in the closet than the mummy buried in King Tut's tomb, then I would have a valid argument that Carmella DeCesare was the Yoko Ono of the 2004 Cleveland Browns.

Right on!

And thanks for the vids. Nice to see and hear a musician with a bit of talent.

I met and shook the hand of Julian Lennon. For some reason, John was nowhere to be found…

Much too late for goodbyes.

I was just watching these clips again … what in the hell is Lennon letting ol' Yoko do here? When you get to :53 of the first clip, when she misses the beat, you realize that she's not contributing a thing, the sound of that beat is actually coming from one of the real musicians above her. In the second clip, she's caterwauling like a Siamese in heat. In the third clip, she's playing "Chopsticks" like a second-grader. Not only did she break up the Beatles, she broke up the ozone layer.
