And We're Back ...
Some quick thoughts:
- If you're not watching The Winner yet, I hope you have a damn good reason (like being arrested for mail fraud).
- My cousin told me over the weekend that Howard Stern is imploring his listeners to ruin American Idol by voting for the worst singer on the program over and over. Now I suppose legions of retarded 22-year olds are calling to vote for Sanjaya, who gets eviscerated by the judges weekly. Has Stern completely lost his edge or what? He hasn't been listenable in like 7 years (and that's being generous), and he's nowhere near the genius that he was when I was listening to him on the local drive time on 660/WNBC all those years ago. Radio's been somewhat homogenized by a lot of things, but proliferation of syndicated radio programming has taken away all the local flavor, to the point now where Jack FM doesn't even have DJs. I'm going to start a bring back WDRE/WLIR website.
- New York Rangers. Playoffs. That is all.
- I had to miss the Shins concert this week, due to a death in my wife's family, which was a bummer on both counts. My brother and sister were there and said that the show was OK, but also a largely uninspired performance by the band. This information was disappointing. I'm going to have to find a boot of this concert online, so I can listen and review.
- The golf season begins this week. I'm flying down to Tampa to play a few rounds with some buddies. Mons Venus, here I come!

"OK" is the best way to describe the concert. I'm pretty sure they could of given the same concert in a closed off room. It's fine if Mercer wants to keep the music precise and such, but if you're not feeding off the energy of Madison Square Garden... something's wrong.
Also, Geoff. Howard Stern is even less orginal then first thought. See: http://votefortheworst.com/
Stern on Sirius is the best and funniest thing that's ever been on radio. The media is attributing credit for the Sanjay thing to him, but it's not some campaign he started, just a phenomenon he mentions when he talks about AI. Trust me, Stern's better than he's ever been. I won't watch The Winner until you post a retraction.
Agreed. I'm surprised that Jimmy boy didn't bring his A game. Every boot that I've heard has him really engaged and talking to the crowd.
