Isolation Thought

Now this is interesting. We are going to have a couple of concerts with political overtones, because we are a swing state. It is called the "Vote for Change Tour". Here is the schedule. We get The Boss (on "Nightline" tonight), R.E.M., John Fogerty (hey, maybe I can tell him my dream), Dixie Chicks and James Taylor. I think it's a two-night deal, with one or both at the Gund.

I'm sure others will be added. Maybe Ronstadt will stop in. But I'm gonna guess we are in for a night of preachin', as well.

Meal of Links

TV News: Al Franken's radio show will broadcast a highlight show on Sundance. Wrong star to hitch your wagon to. Dennis Miller tries to revamp the train wreck that is his CNBC show. (Note the chef's hat!!) Meanwhile, John McEnroe's show is dying, also on CNBC. Rumor has it his rating is between 0.0 and 0.1. That, my friends, sucks.

On the surface, this FCC decision on file sharing is a big win for TiVo. They beat the NFL and Hollywood on this one.

Cincinnati rescinds the festival seating law. Now if they would just rescind that awful "WKRP in Cincinnati" episode about the Who concert.
