Monday Blues

Sidewalks of San Francisco - Trey Anastasio

Out in SF for the week. Here's a post dedicated to the the original Frisco Freakers.

By far the funniest moment of what turned out to a real gut wrencher for Jet fans.

He performed this last night @ the Living Room in NYC. Great choice as the follow up to his big premier on AI.

Check out this clip of a super talented friend of SDSG's, Caleb Hawley, who's a contestant on the current season of American Idol.

The premiere was last night and he effing killed it. See you in Hollywood dude!

Here's another clip of him performing one of his owns songs.

Right Place - Wrong Time

Went to the Bowl last night for a concert benefitting Haiti relief - featuring Lettuce (comprised of various Soulive members), Maceo Parker, Dr. John, ?uestlove and the The London Souls. The weather was spitting pretty hard, so we were on the fence to on whether to make the trek from Manhattan to BK. With the persistant rumor that Prince was going to make a surprise appearance following his show at MSG, we figure we'd be kicking ourselves if we missed it. Glad we didn't.

Although his Purpleness never showed, it really didn't matter. Seeing Dr John and Maceo jamming together was over the top awesome. Is there a a better horn player on Earth? Also, Adam Deitch and ?uestlove on dueling drums sets was just surreal. Lost of talent makes for good music, and as a result this show lived up to the hype.

“So throw away those lamentations, we both know them all too well / If there’s a book of jubilations, we’ll have to write it for ourselves / So come and lie beside me darlin’ — let’s write it while we still got time."

Jets Need to Pipe Down

Now we're all for self confidence. We certainly like a coach who sticks his neck out to try and take the pressure off his players. But what we can't stand is when a coach literally puts his foot in his mouth and makes egocentric statements ike "the is about me vs the other coach". News Flash - Its not.

Adding insult to injury, the players then follow their coaches rhetoric and start running their mouths. Just play the effing game! . Im sorry, but the old adage rings true "talk is cheap". Go out and win and let the haters hate. As much as I want the Jets to dominate this weekend - I respect the shit out of the way the entire Pats organization conduct themselves - top to bottom. As Mike Lupica said in his article in today's Daily News : You don't make a rivalary with good quotes." Amen

Ny Daily News article

From ISS Commander Scott Kelly,( brother-in-law of Gabrielle Giffords, the U.S. Congresswoman who was shot Saturday in Arizona) , recently led a tribute to the victims, lamenting that the planet he observed wasn't a more peaceful one.

"These days, we are constantly reminded of the unspeakable acts of violence and damage we can inflict upon one another, not just with our actions but also with our irresponsible words.

We are better than this. We must do better."
