Obligatory Post
Earlier tonight I was downtown at the Pablo's Triangle reunion show and caught a little bit of hell from Julee and Katie for not posting anything for a week. I know how it is, sitting in front of a computer 40 hours or more every week and not having anything new to read. It's a little late to post anything substantive but if you're bored, I'm posting some sports stuff over at Lincolnite.com. There is plenty of good reading over there, especially if you happen to live in Lincoln.
One thing I've been meaning to write about is how good the new Rolling Stones album, A Bigger Bang is. The first track, "Rough Justice" is classic early 70's dirty rock and roll Stones and it just goes on from there. It's funny, though. When the second song on the album "Let Me Down Slow" kicks in, I hear the opening riff from a song off Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville. That's how utterly retro this album is. The Rolling Stones doing a Rolling Stones tribute album. This is a good thing.
By the way, Sweet Neo Con is just an OK song. The lyrics are great of course, especially the verse that contains the lyric "One thing that is certain, life is good at Halliburton. If you're really so astute, you should invest in Brown & Root." The music is pretty late 80's Stones though.

Interesting to hear that the new stones CD is good. I'm still a steadfast believer in the "holy four" (beggars, let it bleed, sticky, and exile).

You definitely can't top the Holy Four. It's nice to see the old guys can still squeeze out a decent album though. It's been a couple decades since they did.
