Ozzy_Fudd:- Sharpen up the Jigsaw blades,My brother's a wascawy wabbit and he needs a sewious swaying.Heheheheh!!!

Leave it to Joe to guide us to harmony through music. The wake-up call to get back in tune with "Highway Star" that reminds me of Deep Purple and the Machine Head days---summer of 1972....hanging out at summer school....early gatherings in a classroom listening to Deep Purple on vinyl and all the great music of that time......coming together to listen to rock albums. Good times.

Just read "Erin Go Broke" New York Times Op-ed article by Paul Krugman for the 2nd or 3rd time. Why raise taxes AND slash government spending at the same time if these are counterproductive to collectively helping people in need? Sigh!!!

Just tryin' to get started this morning---feels like summer---hot days between 35 and 40 degress C or upper 90s F. Thank heaven it cools off to upper 50s F at night. No clouds/fog over the coast---all clear and very little breeze. Me home is air conditioned.......feel for San Fran in the 80s F with no air conditioning as a rule because they haven't really needed it over the years........ they used to be able to count on clouds/fog/marine layer for "air conditioning" by nature.

Hope ya'll are having better days than Steve and me......difficult to face these days........yet, it's comforting to have Joe here......Thanks, Joe for being here and sharing your compassion and lifting us beyond the sharp experiences of the daily grind. Thanks to all ya wonderful T2J peoples who focus on what's important--the music, the art and community.

Kudos to Canada for outsmarting and routing the pirates. Canada along with the Netherlands uses common sense and common humanity to foil pirates and neutralize the aggression and brutal attacks. Check out BBC and Guardian.

What a special neighbor the US has!!

Thanks brothers and sisters!

CANADA EEHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Hi I'm from Scotland and would like to say that you " ROCK ". I have only one wee question for you and that is do you plan to gig in Scotland again in the forseeable futre.

This'll probably be my last post here for a few days...my grandma on my mom's side passed away two nights ago, so tomorrow I'm flying to St. Louis for her funeral later in the week.

That means I'll miss out on the Jeff Beck show in San Francisco, but I checked Ticketmaster and found a ticket to his show in LA tonight...so I'll still get to see him.

I'm going to see Spinal Tap/Unwigged and Unplugged on Sunday, which will probably happen before I'm back to posting here. So I guess you guys will have two show reviews to read upon my return...haha.

Austin, sorry about yer gremmy.

Scubz, why such a harsh stance on druggies? Some of the best people on this Earth have had a battle with the beast and have come through it. Live and learn. You should save that hate for child molesters, rapists, elder abusers, and the like.

scubz, understandable. I've had my own traumas in the past with that. Happy to say that the one particular person in my life who was the worst has been clean and sober for about 20 years. Happier now than ever I might add. Just blessed to have a happy ending to that one. They're paying the price with health probs, but at least their head is on straight.

I gotta say...in the work that I do....that I see the price people pay just about every day with a new case....brain fried by alcohol &/or drug use. It's so freakin sad. And so preventable.

Hi, my name is francisco, im from argentina.

I am in the FINAL ONLINE HEAT of guitar idol 2009.

Please, if you like the song vote me and help me to go to the LIVE FINAL !!

Condolences Austin.

Sorry to hear about your grandmothers passing Austin- Crank KSHE for us while your in St. Louis.

They were wondering what to do with the pirates caught in international waters,..international waters?...?... Make 'em walk the plank!...Just kidding but it does make you wonder.

Final dress rehearsal this afternoon for "Starburst" the talent showcase at the school Thursday and Friday night. Some pretty good talent locally.

Good night y'all.

"Johnny Depp probably contributed to all the recent pirate activities"
