Best Friend and I attended the Barenaked Ladies concert at PD Pavilion on Sunday. Kind of an interesting crowd. Since it was Father's Day, it appeared that many Moms bought tickets for Dad and the kids. Matched with a really unattractive concert-going type, it was kinda the Full Cleveland treatment. One woman had this shirt on: "Was that an Earthquake or did I just rock your world?" Uh, not really.

Anyhow, the band was very entertaining. Lots of jokes. The one singer sweat a lot and he took abuse for that. "Cleveland Steamer" jokes, including one where it was a little known fact that Stevie Wonder's real name was "Steveland Creamer". They mentioned they sang the anthem at the Tribe game and the drummer threw out the first pitch which led to more jokes. They definitely know how to pace a show and have enough hits to keep everyone into it.

Finally, "Icky Thump" is out today. Yep, it's really good.

Here is a clip from Jools Holland's BBC2 show:

"Effect and Cause"-The White Stripes



Time for the "What If?" game. All about the late night hosts and where they may end up.

I had a nectarine today. Did you know a medium-sized nectarine has about 70 calories and will give you 15% of the recommended daily dose of Vitamin C. It is also low-fat, sodium and cholesterol-free, and a good source of fiber. I like nectarines.

Gale and I attended the Phillies-Indians game last night. I wanted to see Cole Hamels, the young pitcher for the Phils. And I hoped Ryan Howard would homer. Of course, while we won. Hamels probably threw his worst game of the year, as the Tribe won, 10-1. But Howard did homer off of Cliff Lee. Two out of three ain't bad.

Is Mr. McMahon dead? My brother and I were laughing about this earlier today. It seems the mainstream media has missed the story that his limo blew up a week ago. Since no body was found, he was presumed dead. By the WWE, that is. Next week, there is a memorial service. My hunch is he will show up.

In other wrestling news, Sensational Sherri Martel is dead.
