"A tradition unlike any other" starts tomorrow. Yup, it's the Masters. You know how CBS always goes the nostalgic route before these telecasts with some sort of trip down golfing memory lane? The look back at Nicklaus' '86 win or the life of Bobby Jones. This week they are showing a colorized version of the broadcast of Arnold Palmer's 1960 win. The freaky part is that they colorized it. I thought the public had pretty much dissed that technology.

Hopefully, they do mention during the re-broadcast that it is, indeed, a colorized version.

Yesterday's headline in the LA Times was "Keith Richards snorted his Dad". I thought that odd, but did not read the text until today. Turns out he was joking. At least that's what they are saying now. I guess that's the beauty of the joke, I didn't even bat an eye.

Beware diets. They don't work. Aw, hell, let's prove them wrong.

National Anthems

Here's a different one. You invite Huey Lewis and the News onto your TV show. They accept. Then they sing the "Star-Spangled Banner". Did I mention the show is in Japan? Very strange.
