Points of view

A few things, in the last few days on my mind, etc.:

- I'm not big on following pop culture bullshit, but Jamie Foxx is a racist asshole and a mean-spirited prick. A man doesn't pick on a 16 year-old girl.

- I have to admit--I have a kind-of crush on Chelsea Handler. Don't ask me why.

- In an odd change for me, I regret never having previously bought an acoustic/electric guitar. Now that I have this wonderful 12-string, I think about the limitless possibilities of what could have been, live. Or in the studio, for that matter.

- Vintage Vinyl is probably the last good record store, but the incompetence and (more importantly) arrogance of their staff has caused me to not want to shop there any longer (after 22 years). I am setting aside this decision for "National Record Store Day" (this coming Saturday) since Richard Barone is performing at the store for the occasion. A very dear friend of mine has worked on this event and I wish to support her efforts.

- Not to belabor the point, but after seeing Bob Mould last week, I feel completely reinvigorated to move forward with the new music. I will savor this.

Okay, back to work. Enjoy the sunshine--I intend to.
