Take a Chill Pill (If You Can Afford One) Edition

Jesus Christ, are you kidding me with these friggin idiots?! Just stab me in the ear with a ballpoint, it will hurt less.
Many of the same hardened corps of nutballs who are convinced that President Obama is a Kenyan-born Muslim are now bringing their special [...]

50 Bands That I Have Seen …

Taking my cue from a Facebook meme that’s going around, here’s a list of 50 bands I’ve seen live. If you’d like to play along, here are the rules:

Alice in Wonderland
Pittsford Plaza 03.05.10

Up in the Air

Fantastic. So simple, so small, but kinda perfect. And very on point with the current economic situation.
