Elton John Developing Rock-Star TV Comedy
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Elton John (news) is making his first foray into series television by developing an ABC comedy about an aging rock superstar and the people around him, Daily Variety reported in its Thursday edition.
The flamboyant musician told the Hollywood trade paper that the as-yet-untitled show would not be based on himself but rather a mix of other fellow pop icons like Rod Stewart (news), Mick Jagger (news), Freddie Mercury (news) and David Bowie (news).
"It's not about me, but about everybody we've encountered over the past 30 years," it quoted him as saying. "We've met every star and seen every misbehavior. And it's about the people around the star, who have to put up with them. It's an upmarket 'Spinal Tap."'
Daily Variety said John's longtime business manager Bob Halley came up with the basic concept about three years ago, and his boss warmed to the idea. Songwriter Bruce Roberts, producer Michael Edelstein and "Sex and the City" screenwriter Cindy Chupack eventually entered the mix.
A full history is being developed for the rock star character -- including music spanning the '70s, '80s, '90s and today. John has already written a song for the project, "Him and Us," which will appear on his 43rd album "Peachtree Road," due in U.S. stores on Tuesday.
John, 57, as well known for his luxury lifestyle and temper tantrums as for a 35-year string of hits, earlier this year kicked off a Las Vegas revue that will run periodically for three years.

Star Wars Fans
If you are a member of Hyperspace (if you want to pay to be a fan of a star wars web site - I do not) you can download the trailer sometime today.
Or you can go see The Incredibles this weekend (I will) and the trailer will be before the movie.
If you don't want to see The Incredibles - it is supposed to be on Entertainment tonight (or some show like that tonight) and be available for free download next week from the starwars web site.

Looks like Kobe cannot carry the Lakers all by him self - he got exactly what he wanted.
He scored nearly 1/2 the points for the Lakers and still couldn't carry the team.
Not that I liked Shaq that much - but together they were pretty good

Two stoners were having barbecue chicken at a local hotspot when suddenly the lady at the next table starts choking and turning purple. One of the stoners takes command " Clear the way, stay back we know how to handle this!" At that point the other dude drops his pants and gets down on all fours directly in front of the woman who is by now convulsing on the floor. The second stoner goes behind the first and plants a long tongue wipe up the others a-hole! The lady jerked violently a couple of times and then coughed violently projecting a chicken bone across the room.
The two stoners stand up and one says to the crowd " Gotta love that Hindlick Manouver, it works every time!!!"
Do not try this at home....

Yes it is interesting/disburbing how many things the fed govt is involved in - you only named the big items. Their position is that they are protecting us from each other or from big business (I am not defending the position).
I have said for some time that social security should be given a drop dead date - meaning, we will continue to support it until, lets say 2050. After that date, gone, done, stick a fork in it. So that now, we can plan for our own futures. It will also protect our grandparents, parents, ect who currently rely or plan to rely on that income when they retire.
Now, SSD needs to remain for the time being as well as unemployment, at least for now.
SS is such a scam. They are "borrowing" against our future - the money isn't there - it used to be - the money that came was in its own account to pay benefits - now it is part of the general fund.

'Come Bite Me!' Right...
TAIPEI (Reuters) - A man leaped into a lion's den at the Taipei Zoo on Wednesday to try to convert the king of beasts to Christianity, but was bitten in the leg for his efforts.
"Jesus will save you!" the 46-year-old man shouted at two African lions lounging under a tree a few meters away.
"Come bite me!" he said with both hands raised, television footage showed.
One of the lions, a large male with a shaggy mane, bit the man in his right leg before zoo workers drove it off with water hoses and tranquilizer guns.
Newspapers said that the lions had been fed earlier in the day, otherwise the man might have been more seriously hurt ... or worse.

Michelle I'm glad you liked the calavera, what an honor if you print it and show it to someone else.
Old but funny joke !
Two guys were moving fast in a supermarket with their shopping carts and they bump. One guy says to the other “I’m sorry sir, but I’m looking for my wife”
“What a coincidence, I’m also looking for my wife and I’m desperate now”
“Well, maybe I can help, How does your wife look like?”
“My wife is tall, 25 years old, brown long hair, green eyes, well shaped legs, firm breast, fantastic butt, well, she is very pretty. How about yours?
“Screw mine, lets find yours”

Holy Crap finnaly caught up. You people are prolific sometimes.
Back to biz.
The music posts on this site continue to impress. I know I'll leave off some one that I have listened to so a communal congrats to all of you that have let us into your heads through your music in the last few weeks. You know who you are.
Michelle - My God girl!! Reading is worse then the big cities on the west coast. Granted I live in Portland, OR where life, for the most part, is mellow. For a metropolitain area of this size we don't have a very high crime rate, people still hold doors open for you and you rarely hear a horn blare. PA sounds crazy. I have some friends that live in Pitt(or suburbs there of) and they don't even tell stories like that. The people in Reading must still be pissed off at being the railroad on the cheap side of the Monopoly board. And what's the deal with the Ho Ho Hut?
NASCAR Sucks. I concur whole heartedly.
Four more years of Conservitve Christian Hell!! It is not so much the four years. at least there are some checks and balances built in. My BIG concern is the supreme court. That is where the country is really going to get screwed!! Two, possibly three LIFETIME appointments. I expect to see an outlaw on gay marriage and the overturn of Roe vs Wade any day now.
Guitarnut - While I understand you point, the beauty of this site is that we all get together with different view and ,for the most part, are able to discus them. The other thing I really like is that all these thing happen on ONE board.That is the best. I would like to paricipate on some other sites but you practically have to research the site just to participate. Here if you don't want to read one of Cuthberts posts (he does make some good points even though I disagree with him most times) the scroll bar is on the right. I think the Joe appreciates that we are normal people with normal lives, not just a bunch of music geeks that never leave their rooms. Music is about expression. Here we express ourselves with music as a bond.
MORE on the election. The whole "War on Terrorism" thing I think is a crock. It is an excuse to rally support for another agenda. The fact that we are in Iraq has nothing to do with terrorism. It has to do with the fact that Big Geo. told Chimp Geo. to "Get that SOB." Also, it has to do with OIL. The economy of the US is based on the movement of goods. We have a very large country, in area, and to be able to move things around. If there was no oil flowing into the country our economy as we know it would collapse. Maybe I have a transportation bias (can't imagine why) but the influence of the big three along with the subsidies on gasoline that the goverment provides all help harbor a culture that is very auto based. AAGGHHH.
Out of time. Off to math.
EDIT spelling and a "Happy B Day" to DCK!!
