drunk 4-yr old steals Xmas pesents from neighbors (yes, it's a true story)!

wow. just wow. - sj

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WTVC-TV) - A 4-year-old boy, beer in hand, is accused of stealing Christmas presents from his neighbors. It's a strange story, but also a sad one.

April Wright is 21 years old and is going through a divorce with her husband who is in jail. She says she is not sure how her 4-year-old managed to get out of the house, open a beer, and steal the neighbors presents from under their tree. Now she's just glad he's okay and says she won't let it happen again.

The child, Hayden Wright, was found around 1:45 am Tuesday, click here for rest of story/original article.

Merry Christmas, John Waters!

this is a ridiculously-awesome Christmas clip a friend (Rodney Anonymous, Dead Milkmen) recently posted on line. I can't stop laughing. See his awesome blog, "Rodney Anonymous Tells You Hor To Live" here. - sj

Rodney: "OK, as there appear to be some folks out there who don't know the story behind "cha-cha heels" here's the clip from John Waters' "Female Trouble." WARNING: This clip is NSFW and contains language that you wouldn't want your kids to here. That said, it is also the greatest statement about Christmas that American cinema ...has ever made (TBS should just show a loop of this for 24 hours)"

	It's gotten remarkably little coverage so far -- perhaps because there's no "terrorist" angle -- but we're now catching up with case of an Iraq...

Monty Python "Meaning of Life" clip: Part VI - The Autumn Years

seriously: brace yourselves for hurt stomach and tears. John Cleese just kills in this. Genius.

Johnny Rotten for Country Life Butter!

So a friend of mine is in London on business, working away in his hotel room, when this advert appears on the tele. I love Johnny. always will.

Here's what I say to those who cry "sellout"..If you watch it, he's casting aside, and blowing off Britian (or at least their relevancy in his decision-making) in this commercial. Really, he's remaining true to form (and punk ideals). As a youngster in the Sex Pistols, he always said, "punk and rock & roll is not about the clothes you wear, and the like; it's about what's real. Honesty." so, when he says, "do I buy this butter because of Britsh cows," (or this and that), and answers "no, I buy it because it tastes the best," he's cutting through the nonsense, as it were, and being honest. It tastes the best. Period. What, the guy can't make a commercial and some $? it's over 30 yrs ago, he fronted, and let's be honest, made the Sex Pistols, for crying out loud! He'd tell you himself, he's an "old geezer!" Johnny is one of me few idols in life. He rules. And he can't do any wrong. He kicked many established entities in the teeth, as a youth (mainstream radio, ruling record labels, the British Government, promoters, weak-arse popular mega-rock acts, to name just a few), and exposed them for what they were: weak and dishonest mo-fo's, towing the party line; and he did it w/ flair, fun & fervor. There will be no dissing of Britian's real King, on my watch, people!

Anders Parker, tonight: the M Room, Philadelphia

Hi folks, if you're in the Philly region tonight, go see Anders Parker at the M Room (click for directions). Anders is a prolific songwriter, with an amazing voice, and has worked with and/or toured with Jay Farrar (Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo) and Richard Buckner (to name a couple), and also fronted the rock trio, Varnaline (guitar, vocals), and played guitar in Space Needle. Bob Mould liked Anders's songs enough to call him up and ask him if Varnaline wanted to support a tour his band was about to embark on. Tonight, he'll be doing an acoustic guitar set ("takin' it back, old school," he told me), and featuring material from his new double-album, "Skyscraper Crow." Check out a past performance below.
