I just saw John McCain in a restaurant in D.C. last week. He looked to be in great health.

HBO didn't pull it.

Before they could renew the contracts of the primaries they all went separate ways. Efforts were and are being being made to bring it back in episodic and/or feature length special form.

In the mid 70's -- both -- but didn't we all?
APP, PF, Yes - even the Cars.

Still the best concert ever at the Civic:
1977 - Eric Clapton warmed up by Muddy Waters.
Eric/Muddy beat that !!!!

I forget the exact year (maybe 87-88ish), but:

Headliner: Run DMC
Opening acts: DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince AND Public |expletive| Enemy.

Beat that, Whitey.

That's not surprising, since he tried to completely isolate himself from the world for the past 50 years.

So I gather. Rumor has it that he has completed and hoarded perhaps a dozen novels.

One of the greatest TV shows going... Deadliest Catch!

He was a captain of one of the boats. Apparently a RedBull and Marlboro diet isn't healthy? Who knew?

That's too bad. Every time he was on air he had a cigarette in his hand and a cup of coffee in the other.

Of all the celebrity deaths that have occurred over the last year or so, it's funny that a guy who wouldn't really be considered a celebrity, has actually invoked the most emotion out of me. This was the ONLY reality TV I ever watched and Phil was by far my favorite person on the show. His gruff, tough, no nonsense attitude and especially his relationship with his boys reminded me a lot of my own Dad. It's going to be a tough season to watch as I believe they were right in the middle of filming when this all went down.

Phil certainly didn't do much to help his situation, unfortunately. Even after the first blood clot issue he continued to smoke and drink redbulls like crazy to stay up on the fishing trips. It still sucks. Rest In Peace, Capt. Phil.

Now you are all saying WHO?



Lead singer of the Knack

My Sharona
My Sharona held the number one spot on the Billboard pop chart for six weeks.

It was credited for ending the reign of the '70s disco queens, as it was the first rock song to bump a disco track from number one in several years.
