Breaking news
There will be a new collection of Michael Penn music tentatively scheduled for release 3/27/2007 4/17/2007 on Sony/BMG labels. I’ve been fortunate enough to hear the CD and will say that it is worth buying these songs again even if you have all of Michael’s work. The reworked tracks are worth the price – and since all of the tracks have been remastered, the old songs sound new and vibrant.
And for the most of you that don’t know who Michael Penn is, this is an excellent chance to find out about one of the best singer songwriters around today.

Anger management
One of those days where I have so much to get off my chest. More bigots on the rampage – of course there’s Ann Coulter, but Mel Gibson gets a mention here today.
Our buddy, Mel Gibson is having a bad week. First off he gets stopped for drunk driving and then he goes on an anti-semetic
tirade to the officer forcing ABC to drop support of their support for his Holocaust mini-series. Wait a minute – Mel Gibson? Holocaust mini-series? Isn’t this a bit like having the klan make a movie about slavery in America? It’s pretty impressive that he was able to get someone to give him money for this. Maybe I should write the Ann Coulter biography.
Speaking of Annie poo (my pet name for her). Won’t she just go away? So now she’s accusing Bill Clinton of being gay. Seriously? Come on – proof – any – please. Did he come onto your brother? Maybe to you prior to the sex change? The media needs to stop reporting on this chick as news. Her proof: he’s promiscuous – which means he’s gay. There we have it – promiscuity means your gay which means every man in America apparently is a homesexual. (I guess she’s homophobic.)
I am writing while sitting in front of my air conditioner because it is literally 1 million degrees outside. I think the Bush Administration is looking for proof of global warming in the same place they found the WMD.
While on the subject of my friends at the White House. Every time I read a story about the administration it reminds me that they have not done one thing right since taking office. Every story is essentially about the newest thing they’ve screwed up. While I appreciate the ability to look at every stinking person that voted for him and say “I told you so!” I would appreciate one thing. Just one thing done not just right, but exceedingly well. Tell me when you find that one thing.
On a good note – happy birthday to singer Michael Penn – he turns 48 today.

I have no idea why this article is appearing now because this concert happened last fall. Oh well, it’s still a funny story.
