Punk

I was never much interested in the Punk Rock phenomenon of the late 1970's. I thought it was a waste of energy to be so angry.

For those of you who were into punk (like Mrs. Howell) check out:

Don't Call Us

I just registered for the national Do Not Call List and boy do I feel great!  You should do it too.

RIP Warren Zevon

Warren Zevon is dead and the world is a much poorer place for it. First Zappa, now Zevon. How come all the great songwriters whose last name starts with Z die?

Yes, you must read this tribute to Zevon from Dave Barry. Thanks to Ken Layne for the tip.

Now, even though I'm unemployed, I'm off to buy Zevon's last album, The Wind.
