Way Cool Item of the Day ~ Bruce Springsteen’s “The River” to be played at the Garden
Very very early on the morning of October 3, 1980, I got into my friend Kim’s little red Datsun in a driveway in Brick, New Jersey. I think there were actually five of us packed into that tiny car. We proceeded to drive from the Jersey shore straight through to Ann Arbor, Michigan, parking the car just in time to see Bruce Springsteen’s tour bus roll in to the parking lot of Crisler Arena. We jumped out of the tiny car (which, after hours of travel, seemed to have gotten smaller) and lined up with other fans to shake hands with Bruce as he went into the venue.

Talk about falling down the rabbit hole… Listorious is a site which curates the best list

A year ago this week, the American people went to the polls to vote in the Presidential Election. And in record numbers, a true democratic majority elected Barack Hussein Obama to be our President. All the mud thrown at him - when push came to shove - did not stick. Even now, I’m still thrilled. When I’m having a bad day, I remember, oh yes, yes we did. Which proves that we can, whenever we have a mind to. We dodged a really scary bullet that day - the chance, however slim, that Sarah Palin would be riding shotgun to the next President of the United States. Forgive the gun metaphors but it’s actually eerily appropriate for this moose-killin’ mama,

My idea for the next spin-off from THE HILLS is…….drum roll, please: Stephanie Pratt. Consider this: She’s a total airhead - California style (the funniest kind) She’s the sister of Spencer Pratt - need I say more? She’s the sister in law of Heidi Pratt - let’s not even go there Now that THE HILLS is woefully Lauren-less, and that husky voiced bitch Kristin Cavallari doesn’t cut it for me in the Drama Dept. On the few recent occasions my remote has snagged the show, my only entertainment is scenes with Stephanie…she’s a
