And Another Thing
This definitely proves the power of a buck:
Have you seen all these posters around for the new Michael Bolton album? I was in Boston last weekend and saw them in storefront windows everywhere. Not music stores, regular stores. There was some place called "Quality Meats" or something with it in there.
Now I'm seeing them in New York. People are willingly showcasing Michael Bolton in their window. Is there any other reason besides the promise of cash that anyone would do this?
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"Oh, hi, I work for Michael Bolton's record label. I was wondering if I could put this huge picture of his face in your front window."
"No chance in hell."
"We'll give you money."
"Absolutely, then."
Grow a spine, shopowners of America!
Note: If anyone is about to comment to me that Michael Bolton is good, or that "Well, he is doing Sinatra songs...," well, you're welcome to do so, but immediately following that, you might as well turn off your computer, go to the window, and jump out, as your life is, for all intents and purposes, over already.

Hilarious!
This sorta reminds me of when Underdog (NYHC) were known as True Blue, and that year Madonna put out an album of the same name. One day I'm walking around the Lower East Side, and there were hundreds of posters reading "True Blue" hanging up all over the place. It was kinda funny, like "Wow, those guys got really big all of a sudden."

Ok. A- Underdog fucking ruled. B- what's my favorite Michael Bolton song? Uhh...It's so hard to decide. I know what you mean!!!
Someone over at Cyn's (comment 21) just asked where the grammar police were. She (he?) meant you...I have your back covered. And wasn't Mr. Lester great last night! Take care Jere.
Some of the most poignant words ever spoken: "Why should I change? He's the one who sucks."
Peter, about that: It's classic Dunbar fan. We win World Series, they make fun of us because we "won't win for 86 more years." I call them out for showing their stupidity, they make fun of me for doing it. They got nothin', and it's beautiful.
