As part of my growing up in Jersey I got to see these guys play countless times & was sad to hear about Clarence dying yesterday:

Clarence Clemons, the saxophonist in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, whose jovial onstage manner, soul-rooted style and brotherly relationship with Mr. Springsteen made him one of rock’s most beloved sidemen, died on Saturday at a hospital in Palm Beach, Fla. He was 69.The cause was complications of a stroke he suffered last Sunday at his home in Singer Island, Fla., a spokeswoman for Mr. Springsteen said.

In a statement released Saturday night, Mr. Springsteen called Mr. Clemons “my great friend, my partner.”

“With Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music,” he added. “His life, his memory and his love will live on in that story and in our band.”

Stevie Nicks singing backstage while getting her makeup done.

My sister sent me this video.

She thought I'd like it & I do.

I saw Coraline this weekend (loved it...so beautifully done & creative) & am now craving stop action videos.

Shooting something like this will teach patience.



Great music too.

Corinna (see sidebar) posted this song a bit ago & it's been in my head since.

"Top 25 Most Played Songs"

Disclaimer...got this wonderful idea off of someone's blog awhile ago...so, I should really give credit where credit is due...what? I said I SHOULD...doesn't mean I will...here's what they wrote:

"The best thing about the iPod playlist "Top 25 Most Played" is that you can't hide who you are when you look at it. All is revealed. You may wish you were the kind of person who listened to Igor Stravinsky enough that he would show up on your Top 25 Most Played - but unless you are, organically, the kind of person who listens to Stravinsky on a daily basis - he will not be in your Top 25 Most Played. If you want your music to give off some kind of specific impression meant to impress others - if you want someone to think you're cool, or eclectic, or deep, or if you scoff at music made by 'the man' - if any of these things are an issue for you, then don't let anyone look at your Top 25 Most Played. Just keep it under wraps. If you're not comfortable with people knowing that you listen to "Day Dream Believah" so often that it makes it into your Top 25, then I suggest just not mentioning it. The Top 25 Most Played playlist never lies. It shows you to yourself. It can surprise you."

Here is my Top 25 Most Played list:


(click to make it larger if it would tickle you to see the songs on my list)

I'd love to hear about yours...mind you...these aren't necessarily your highest rated songs...just for some reason(s) (there are MANY) or another...you always find yourself coming back to these songs over & over & over.

I miss this place if I don't come here for a bit.

Damn, why do I do that?

Sorry (for me...not you).

This was a line from a song I heard today.

Did she lick your palm & tell you your fortune tonight?

My answer is...no...she didn't...

But I'd be up for it if she did.

Depending on who 'she' was anyway.

Has anyone seen the new show "True Blood" on HBO yet?

I'm very not into scary stuff...but this is so well done & beautiful to look at

You can't turn away.

It's done by Alan Ball (the same guy who created "Six Feet Under"

(one of my all time favorites).

If you have a chance

watch it with an open mind

& tell me what you think.
