doubled over in presidential agony

now playing: robert palmer, "every kinda people"


a snippet from a just-published interview with the legendary al kooper:


If you could see one person get hit in the nuts with a Hammond B-3, who would it be?

I would say George W. Bush but I wouldn’t want to get the B-3 dirty.


(for the full interview, click here.)

speaking of Hammond B3 players, stone road said goodbye to ours this weekend. i'd like to say it was a great show, augmented by a great deal of sentimentality, et cetera, but quin was far from turning in his best performance. i was reminded on saturday that quin definitely exercised a "home field" mentality at certain venues...meaning that he didn't feel particularly inclined to restrain any impulses he might've had towards drinking a bit more than he should. his performance has suffered on occasion in the past from this, and it certainly suffered on saturday night as a result. i sure do wish he'd chosen to go out on a better note.

looks like my hometown got a pretty severe weather beating over the weekend. i grew up in hardin county, and don't remember ever seeing this kind of snow as a kid.
