(I Wanna Be Like) Maynard G. Krebs

Here is a picture of me sharing some apples with Mimi, one of the Denver Zoo’s Asian elephants. I helped out with the elephant demonstration a few weeks ago – having that trunk in your face is a bit disconcerting. I’d compare it to having a giant vacuum tube stuck in your face, sucking away hungrily for loose dirt and dust bunnies.

I heard some exciting music news over the weekend - my friend Stan informed me that late 80’s supergroup Damn Yankees are back! Apparently, they have a hot new tune out entitled Gasolina. Even better, it’s a monster hit. Let’s hope they can hit a few more out of the park – the state fair lineup next year could be killer. Personally, I’m looking forward to holding up my lighter while they perform their power ballad classic High Enough. Welcome back Ted “bow hunting school for children” Nugent, Tommy “dude in Styx who looked like a girl” Shaw, the bass player from Night Ranger, and the guy who plays drums! Rock n’ roll has missed you!

RIP – R.L. Burnside and Bob Denver

Hopefully the Nuge can still deflect bullets with the sheer power of his rocking!

why? were you planning on shooting him? because, if you were, i know some people who'd be interested in helping you out...just be careful, don't let the nuge put you in a stranglehold!

The Oregon State Fair, last year's home of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, was too broke this year to host national touring acts, and instead was focusing on "enhancing the state fair's free entertainment".

So don't tease me with your Damn Yankees, because all that the OSF had this year was a thousand pound pig and some butter sculptures. from what I hear.
