Picture of the Day

Maybe you've seen this one already, but here it is, just in case-- an angry Pittsburgh Steelers fan throwing her beer at a Denver Broncos fan as the Broncos wrapped up last Sunday night's 31-19 victory.

Photo I wished I could find #1

In a recent post, I stated that I wished I could find a photo of Bologna's Nicola Mingazzini playing with his head all bandaged up. This morning I searched Google Images again and found such a photo--

The search terms I used were Mingazzini and head.

What I have been reading lately #35

CBGB's: Thirty Years from the Home of Underground Rock-- Introduction by Hilly Kristal; afterword by David Byrne. This was a book of photographs. It took about forty-five minutes to read.

Laurel Canyon: The Inside Story of Rock-and-Roll's Legendary Neighborhood by Michael Walker. I once knew someone named Michael Walker, but not the one who wrote this book. This book has lots of information about many musicians, including (but not limited to) Cass Elliot, Frank Zappa, Joni Mitchell, Steven Stills, Micky Dolenz, David Crosby, various member of the Turtles, and everyone in Led Zeppelin.

Thirty-Nine Years of Short-Term Memory Loss by Tom Davis. Tom Davis wrote for NBC's Saturday Night Live program for many years and was one-half of the comedy team of Franken and Davis. He has many interesting stories to share and tells them in an amusingly random fashion.

The Flyers are winning

Like I've predicted previously, the Philadelphia Flyers are beating the Montreal Canadiens. (Up in the series 2-1). More importantly, here is a happy photo of East German hockey players resting on the bench. It appears to come from the mid-1980s. East German hockey players get to play their hockey outside.
