As Billy Bob Thornton (Karl Childers) says in "Sling Blade":

"I lack the way you tawk- uh huh"

I am diagnosed with end-stage embryonal cell carcinoma but I have done very well fighting it with a combo of orthodox and nontraditional interventions, including herbal medicine and megavitamin thereapies and imagination practice. I look closely at the organizations behind cancer in the states, and ...

one of the most misunderstood bands in history. Why? By whom? Most in the states think Little Feat is a southern country rock band in the spirit of the Charlie Daniels Band. Not even close, but thier most memorable 'hit' was "Oh! Atlanta", a song that sounded like a southern anthem. This ...

Whatever you do, try to build your hemoglobin with iron supplementation and herbal alternatives. Avoid transfusions at all cost. Blood transfusions are harmful, and the growing evidence base is incontrovertable: transfused blood is an organ transplant and the attendant risks far outweight the gains....

To a man I have never met nor spoken with: I admire you and suspect you are a great father, a great husband, and a great person. Just watching and reading, but over the years, that is the impression that prevails. Happy Birthday

There is a difference in "hoping" that kids get a fair chance and telling a parent how to raise them. I can't imagine how my hope for your kids, and ALL of the children born to this earth, have the ability to be exposed to all sides, so that their minds can wrap around their own sense of r...

Lack of experience in this, the highest office in the land, IS a bad thing, I think. There is a fairy tale side to it...that untainted by the politics of politics, the naivete' associated with no experience will somehow lead to magical results. Doesn't work, and he will be eaten alive. I have hired ...

The first two disks really capture the essence of the band, one of the most misunderstood bands in history.

"Deep, Dark Hole" - Los Lobos

No, my wife and daughter actually paid money to see Elvis with the Police. The show is Wednesday.

I think he used it in one of the first three recordings, but I can't pinpoint it. Thanks WSS, I cleared that song but I swear he rhymed it with something and I recall, as a physiologist, it was cool. Later, that line would be upstaged by "Live" from "Throwing Copper" (from Scrant...

Bill Maher is a political commentator on the far left. Dennis Miller is a political commentator on the far right. Keith Olberman purports to be a NEWS Anchor, right? Or wrong? I think I am right. He purposrts to be a news man and he is a satirist and a commentator. A former sportscaster gone nutty a...

"Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" - Bob Dylan

I am lecturing today on Blood Transfusion management to a group of surgeons, intensivists, and anesthesiologists. A core concept is 'anemia', a condition where the blood does not contain enough capacity to carry oxygen to the tissues. Severe anemia = death. Moderate = brain damage etc. Elvis has use...

Looking forward to it with my wife and my daughter.

Anyone else? Love to meet y'all. Banana Cream pies confiscated at the gate, so I got that going for me...

I'm well behaved in public. You'd be shocked.

I won't be the guy shouting "McCain in '08"

"Brown Street" - the late, great Josef Zawinul and Weather Report

Wow WSS hit it outta the park. Especially the part about Ameoba records in LA. If you are serious to coming to Dana point, Thats where I hang my hat, and I can secure a beautiful roon at the Laguna Cliffs Resort and Spa at a decent rate with enough advance notice. I have some connections. If you wa...

Lot's or Pearl Jam...it's Friday

Recently exchanged silly comments with Bill Murray at the Union League Club Hotel In Chicago near the stock exchange. He was there for opening day, then a performance at a local club. Sweet as Vermont maple on a " a simple plan" blue-cold winter day. Less effusive but as genuine as when I ...

He's pretty big in Japan.

I genuinely miss Mechanical Grace. She made me think

May 28th in Southern California. Promise to buy a drink to any forum member that reveals. I can be a barrell of laughs, and my propensity to blog is completely gone in this atmosphere, All fun, no grief, no thinking, just pure rock and roll and style and grace. I suppose I can leave before the polic...
