I rarely watch 2 1/2 Men, but caught last night's and noticed that the actual band members of ZZ Top made a cameo appearance, beards and all, as themselves.   

(Knox -- your ZZ Top mention, over in Film, reminded me...)

Just throwing it out there....Billy Gibbons (of ZZ Top) also plays Angela's father on Bones.  Great episode, by the way.

Well, we had Rod Stewart in Vilnius this past week.  Quite a thunderstorm accompanied his outdoor concert.  Can only say I am glad I wasn't there.  Saw some video clips of him recently, and what little voice he had is gone.  But, he still likes to strut around on stage capturing some sense of the songs that made him a pop icon.

On a different note, my son has been getting into Small Faces, led by Steve Marriott,

the predecessor to Rod Stewart's Faces.  Here they are at their final concert in 1974, with Keith Richards helping out on guitar,

Stewart always looked like a Doonesbury character to me.

Ke$ha makes Lady Gaga look like Madonna, which is faint praise times 2, or 3.

Some friends asked me to help them think of musical selections suitable for playing at a wedding.  I've come up with these, but would welcome other ideas:

Evil Woman, ELO
Maneater, Hall & Oates
American Woman, Guess Who

The Hall & Oates I feel is especially fitting to the occasion:  Whoa, here she comes, watch out boy, she'll chew you up!  Whoa, here she comes, she's a maaaan-eater!

In case the bride gets wooly, and she will get wooly, from all the stress?

I went to a wedding where Every Breath You Take - the creepy, crappy Police song - was played without irony (the happy couple didn't recognize the stalkery not-even-undertones).  I also went to a funeral, for a relative we really loved and liked, and sat through a really long version of Wind Beneath My Wings played on the boom box Wife #2 brought with her.

Personally, I like You've Got What it Takes -- lines like

You don't live in a beautiful place
You don't dress the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
But baby you got what it takes
(Yeah Yeah)


just get me all weak in the knees.

Was trying to remember where the misheard "weary" came from....oh, yeah, Bull Durham!  And then Costner is saying something like "how does anyone get wooly, you dumbass?" or something like that.

LOL the unironic usage of Every Breath You Take! 

Toronto friend just emailed me.  She was sitting in bed and it started shaking.  Went downstairs and her daughter was pushing furniture around in the rec room, back into normal places.  The Canadian Shield shifted a little bit.

I got a tiny little rumble - just felt like a train going by for a couple seconds, but it was noticeable (and I didn't even need Carole King!).  Someone on a hockey board I go to lives around Toronto, didn't get a thing.  Go figure.
