Anybody miss me??
Thought I'd wait until the dust settled a bit, and the Yankees won their first playoff game (that last part had me thinking until last might that you might not have heard from me for a loooonnnnng time.
I have been groovin' to some new tunes.
John (Creedence Clearwater Revival) Fogerty-"Revival". Good. Very good. A lot of it is vintage CCR type stuff.
Bruce & the E-Street Band-"Magic". If you don't like Bruce this won't win you over. If you do, this is classic Boss circa "The River".
And the revelation, Ben Lee-"Ripe". Pure pop bliss. Tight, sunshiney meat and potatoes pop-n-roll. "Birds and Bees", a duet with-gasp-Mandy Moore (stop laughing)-is like a lost (GOOD) track from "Grease"--it works, believe it or not. Best track-"American Television". This is mighty good stuff.
Also sampling some of the new fall shows. SO far my fave new ones are "Reaper" (Tuesday nights at 9et on the CW), and "Pushing Daisies" (Wednesdays at 8et on ABC). Both appeal to my warped little sense of humor.
Kudos to everyone who labored to give us a home. It seems that this is it, but if it's not, I'll see you wherever, whenever.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to figure out how I am going to watch the Yanks, Bills, and "Heroes" all at the same time.
