I flipped in and out of the 12:12:12 concert last night and a few things stood out. One, it was a party for old white men. Seriously. They were up on the stage and filled MSG. If you were a senior baby boomer banker/lawyer/doctor/accountant... this was your Woodstock! Also this was a benefit for NYC that was dominated by British rock bands? Ok. Adam Sandler sang a sort of funny song. What my lady and I noticed is it looked like he has eaten David Spade and was hungover as all get out, at 7PM on a Wednesday. He looked terrible in other words. So the Boss got like 3 songs. Alecia Keyes who is big time New York got 2 or 3. Roger Waters brought out Eddie Vedder so they bumped him up to I think 4. The Stones got 2. How many would you budget for The Who? 1, 2? Well, they had an entire concert of like 13 songs! Roger Daltry is totally shot, his voice is a mess. Of course he made up for it by undoing hid shirt and busting out is over tanned, shaved old man chest complete with pacemaker scar. Needless to say the 5 women in the audience went crazy!! To be fair Pete Townsend sounded pretty good. That is when I checked out for good.
So we are getting closer to the fiscal cliff and Obama is taking things OFF the negotiating table? Interesting tactic. That guy just doesn't give a f%$&! Meanwhile Georgia rep. Paul Broun went on CNBC and rambled like a fool culminating in him suggesting we totally disband the Department of Education, the EPA, and a few other federal departments. Sure, that makes sense. Let the states handle it. Yeah, Georgia... you are definitely more qualified to run education. We will blow by China once they realize the Earth is 3500 years old, there were no dinosaurs, 2+2=Q and the capital of Spain is Portugal.
Looks like the Sox are close to signing Ryan Dempster. I am furiously making sure my NESN subscription is up to date... no way I can miss those 8 insanely mediocre starts!
