this video alone will heal me

courtney busting the replacements’ “unsatisfied”

thank you God above.

a few things:

– mrs cobain looks awesome
– i never knew what that song sounded like with a real guitarist on it
– apparently that was a last minute nye rehearsal
– no one howls that tune bettern westerberg
– nice tub in that jr suite

one of the best parts of being out in the public

is all the nice emails i get

and even though we havent done an Ask Tony in a while i got this email the other day that i only just got around to investigating.

Tony,

Love you. Love the blog. Question. I know you love the Beastie Boyz and Letterman, me and my girlfriends were watching the time when the Boyz went on Letterman in support of the dvd “Awesome I Shot That” and they gave cameras to a few of the audience members as well as one to David and Paul. Around the 3:20 mark, you can see that David is not shooting the boys at all, but seems to be pointing his camera toward the wings. Earlier in the set one of the cameras is spying on a young woman who isn’t in the audience at all. Twice we see this woman. She is very attractive and seems familiar. Do you think she is one of Dave’s “mistresses”?

Curious,

Roxanne, Ontario, Canada

all i can say is there was a time when The Great White North was so much different than the callus, critical, cynical Lower 48. what happened? didnt you people spend most of your time communing with nature, baking, and reading books? margaret atwood is probably rolling in her grave!

but yes, even at the 1:30 mark dave is obvs not filming the three bad bros you know so well. that young lady at 1:46 sure does look like stephanie birkitt. although she also looks a little like ScarJo. oh well, back to puking so i can go to work demain.

for Cub fans Andre Dawsome was like

the hottest chick in school wanting to be your girlfriend

it didnt make any sense.

you went along with it but you always felt that any day it would be over.

he looked way too good in that uniform, he played so much better than everyone else, he could hit for power, steal bases, many gold gloves. and he was super nice.

clearly there was a catch.

plus how did we even get him? he was a stud with the Expos for a decade before coming to the Cubs – how was it that he didnt get his big payday with the Yankees or the Dodgers?

around the web non-Cub fans are griping and moaning that Albert Belle or Roberto Alomar were not selected. One guy was a jerk and the other spit on an umpire. It’s good to see that the writers didn’t just look at a guy’s stats and instead looked at his Entire career.

andre dawson was a guy you could show your kid (or your sisters kids) and say, see that guy, he’s what being a baseball player is all about.

and now people can do that when they see his bust in Cooperstown.

ive been feeling so terrible the last few days

my truest is concerned. she shouldnt be, back in the xbi days theyd poison us with worst than what ive got.

i had two delicious bowls of chunky beef soup today. childhood memories.

but something bad happened and they got hurled.

then my buddy joe called. i just wanted to lay down.

i havent even hooked up my sirius radio, nor unpacked it from my bag.

after the plane landed, i had dinner, couldnt wait to get home, and i stayed there till this morning when i went to work.

man i was dragging.

maybe i was poisoned.

someone wrote me a two word email today.

blame barrie,

cracked me up.

someone got a great new years eve gift

whitney’s bf writes for True Blood. i know!

after True Blood’s finale they went to Paris and we were all oooooo bro’s gonna pop the question to you.

so on top of the Eiffel Tower he gave her a loose diamond and said “no girl should leave the Eiffel Tower without a diamond”. when she came home with that story we were all no ring? no proposal? she was all, yeah. we were like ummmmmm okayyyy?

new years eve when they passed by the coffee shop where they first met bro got on his knee and put a ring on it.

we all found out via facebook

bravo Morrissey for not locking up his videos on YouTube

lots of labels “disable” the embed codes of their artists vids on youtube.

dumbest thing ever if you wanna spread your jams.

would record labels have figured out ipods and itunes if steve jobs wouldnta beat em to it?

hell no. yet they run around pretending that theyre doing something good by locking their videos up at one url instead of letting bloggers and others run what basically amounts to free commercials on their highly influential and conversational outlets.

rock n roll will never die, but hopefully these practices will.

i am sick

not sick sick like puking or coughing

but ive got a runny nose and i dont feel very good.

yet im going to take a hot shower and go to work so they know i love em

i really wish i had a Sars mask.

meanwhile i have a message to all the women i know who feel the urge to stop blogging, or shut down their blogs, or shut down their twitter or facebooks,

instead of shutting down their boyfriends and/or ex-boyfriends who are making them miserable:

why are the smartest girls so un-smart when it comes to men?

its like they have this stone in their shoe and instead of pulling it out and whipping it as far into the ocean as they can, they somehow believe that that stone is part of them and they beat themselves up for not learning how to walk better with that stupid thing stuck to them.

when dinner is over you get up and leave.

when your shower is over you get out and leave.

when a relationship is over, you move on, just like how you do with every other part of your life.

its just like Hoarders, except youre now afraid/ashamed/sad about throwing out your trash that you keep pretending is something else.

that stone wants to be in the ocean, so send it there.
