Wow....this looks very cool...."W"

Lets all think positive thoughts for John D. Graham


Jon Dee Graham Hospitalized after Car AccidentJul 27th, 2008



Celebrated Austin singer/songwriter Jon Dee Graham was returning home to Austin from a gig in Dallas early Saturday morning. Graham, former guitarist for Austin’s True Believers, fell asleep at the wheel about forty miles north of Austin, in Jarrell. Graham’s Volvo struck a concrete embankment along I-35. No other cars were involved.
UPDATE as of Monday night 28 July:Tonight Jon Dee had emergency surgery to remove his spleen, which had been ruptured in the accident. He’s out of surgery, and longtime colleague Jesse Sublett (Jon Dee’s band mate in The Skunks) reports the surgery went well, and there appears to be no more internal bleeding. The outlook is good, but Jon Dee’s back in intensive care for now. Jon Dee and family are very grateful for the outpouring of support in the past few days, but they are now asking for an extended bit of quiet –no visitors or calls, please — as JDG rega

too little too late...


It looks like I missed something cool last night. It appears that Slobberbone had a reunion show in Dallas under the moniker "whiskey glass eye". I had an idea that this was to be a reunion show by one of my favorite bands, but was unable to attend. I've added a link to another blog that surmises the same thing as far as a reunion show goes due to a rare Dallas area sighting of the bone's old bass player. man I wish I could have made that show. scroll down the Dallas blog further to get a taste of the Lucero show there on Monday night as well. That sounded cool too.

I'm seeing this guy tonight...

Check out those big red balls!!

I love this show. Anything where it looks like a person could end up getting inured appeals to me on so many levels.

"Felon"....

This movie looks pretty cool. I have never been a big Stephen Dorf fan, but I've always loved me some Val Kilmer. This could be very cool, or it could suck...I want to think it will be great. Check it out!

Nice....

Buckner rules....

One of my favorite episodes....

Jose should stick to...well, whatever it is he does now.

Huey Lewis gets stoned...

Ok, I am sure he does, as it must help him deal with the loss of his career. But wait....he's back! It looks as if Huey has found his new drug....get it...ha! Anyway, my most anticipated movie, Pinapple Express, has chosen Mr. Lewis to do a song for the soundtrack. I cannot wait for this movie, it looks great. I posted a trailer from it in an earlier post, so look for it. But, for now...it's time to listen to that new Huey Lewis tune.....click the link below if you dare....

It's the end of the world as we know it......


Ok, I must first confess that I watched this show, and now comes the part where I make fun of it...sort of. It's awful....it's a trainwreck....it's............ scripted?! What the fuck? I thought it was supposed to be a reality show. Of course I know that "reality shows" aren't really reality, but I wasn't aware of this new trend of "scripted" reality shows. Apparently these two idiots can't be interesting enough, so the network decided to add a "framework" for reality. And by the way, yes I have now used "quotation signs" three times already...fuck you. Anyway, I ended up watching this last night and it was almost entertaining. I can't say I learned much, but since I cannot get the hour plus I watched back, lets roll with it. This is actually the second season, and this year Corey Feldman and Corey Haim are no longer friends....boo hoo! They are now rebuilding their relationships just as they are rebuilding their careers. Well, I don't want to give away too much, so you'll have to watch. Here is just a taste of the brilliance that is "The Two Coreys"! On a side note, I never thought I'd find myself thinking that Feldman is the more normal of the two. Watch and see.....

I don't think he'll be back in "two and two"


'Love Connection' producer Eric Lieber dies at 71

LOS ANGELES — Eric Lieber, whose television production credits include the long-running dating show "Love Connection," has died. He was 71.
Lieber died Wednesday of leukemia at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said his wife, Peggy.
Lieber created "Love Connection" in 1983 after decades producing other game shows, as well as the talk shows of Dick Cavett, Sammy Davis Jr. and Mike Douglas.
"Love Connection," hosted by Chuck Woolery, aired until 1995. Lieber also was executive producer of the 1998-1999 reprise of the series, hosted by Pat Bullard.
On the program, contestants watched videos of three prospective blind dates, chose one to go out with and returned to the show to talk about the experience.
Lieber attributed the show's success to the real-life drama audiences got to observe.
"The show succeeds because we believe in honest emotions," he told the Chicago Sun-Times in 1992. "And, admit it: We're all a little voyeuristic and enjoy peeking into someone else's life."
Lieber was born April 7, 1937, in Vienna and came to the United States as a baby. He grew up in New Jersey and launched his TV career in New York City in the 1950s.
