If you'll remember , I was contracted to play in "The Band" for the Clarence Brown production of TOMMY. I know, I know... you play Horn. "You're not a Rocker Robert! " Anyway, the production finished up it's first week and is about to start up its second. (Shows run Wednesday through Sunday for the next two weeks) And, it appears the show has gotten it's first review. This one comes from the Daily Beacon (The University of Tennessee's Paper) and it's not too bad. Here's a snip: ...Still, … [Read more...]
The Pirate Bay is Going to the PO-PO!
Just saw over at Ars Technica that the Sweedish Distric Court trial about the Pirate bay has ended. And, it appears it has ended BADLY for the Pirate Bay. Here's a clip from their article: The Pirate Bay "spectrial" has ended in a guilty verdict, prison sentences for the defendants, and a shared 30 million kronor ($3.5 million) fine. According to the Swedish district court, the operators of the site were guilty of assisting copyright infringement, even though The Pirate Bay hosted none of the … [Read more...]

Lots of “Fair Tax” signs (I’ll post later why I have a hard time getting on board with that), lots of Ron Paul supporters, and thankfully not much bashing of President Obama directly. I think most people understand that … [Read more...]
Those Brits are a Talented Bunch
This is just a quick post to link to a video I saw on YouTube I would normally just embed it but they wont allow this one to be embedded. This is way better than the crap that spits on on American Idol and, shows you shouldn't judge by appearance alone. Give this a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY … [Read more...]
About Your Payment. Really?
I got an new variation on that Nigerian E-mail Scam today. Remember that one? It's the one where somebody rich in Nigeria can't get the money out of their relatives estate and needs to transfer it to your American Bank account. And, in return they will give you a generous fee... All you have to do is give them "ALL" your information. Bank Name, address, bank account, social security number, blood type, next of kin, etc, etc, etc... Well, the one I got today takes on another angle, check it … [Read more...]
As I finish up my Taxes…
As I continue to work on my Taxes (is it too late to request a bailout?), I find myself needing some background noise. Normally, I would turn on BrinkFM but my wife found this little Video this weekend and I've become addicted. So, I post this here for so you'll get addicted for you to enjoy. Back to Taxes! … [Read more...]
