The video below is from 1981 ... its a pretty uninspired version of a Stones classic. But check out the clip at about 1:11 you will see a fan run across the stage. Then at 1:17 Keith Richards takes off his guitar and is seriously about to kills this fan ... lucky for the fan a roadie rescues him moments before he is bashed in the head.

Yup – it’s only two days away now. Roll Up! Roll Up! Get your centenary souvenirs here! No, I know. It’s wrong to celebrate an event which caused so many deaths. But that has not stopped some merchants from ‘pushing the boat out’ with all manner of souvenirs of the sinking of the Titanic. There’s a Titanic Cruise under way at this moment in which the organisers stress they are ‘retracing’ the voyage and not ‘re-enacting’ it! Watch this space in a couple of days to verify that fact! On board, you can purchase Salt & Vinegar Titanic Potato Chips (Yuk! I trust these are being thrown over the side on that cruise!) There’s an exclusive “official” Titanic T…

http://www.vice.com/read/an-etiquette-guide-for-straight-people-in-gay-bars Brian Moylan is stirring the pot again with an etiquette guide for straight people at gay bars. I have to admit though, I tend to agree with him. According to AfterElton nothing could clear a dance floor full of shirtless circuit boys faster than some of this stuff, plus mixed drinks on the dance floor? Who does that?

This didn't even look like him at first glance. But it's a hot photo. I'd love to see this on Broadway.

CBS-LA has been posting names, mugshots and birth dates of men arrested for cruising a park in a police sting. When they were questioned about the fact that they didn't publish all the other crimes, they said "Our coverage, like that of several other media outlets, included showing the official photos of those arrested, photographs that were provided by the Manhattan Beach Police Department. This reporting is consistent with our long-held journalistic standards by which we provide the public with information and photos from law enforcement agencies about arrested individuals on a regular basis without regard to their gender, race or sexual orientation." Research says lia…

Thanks to two albums of awesome songs, successful largely due to producer Mike Clink, Guns 'N Roses is going to the Rock Hall of Fame. However Axl must think its still 1989 or whatever ... he cannot grasp no one really cares about his attitude anymore. It was cool like 15 years ago now its plain old boring. From Huffington Post. ---------- NEW YORK — The acrimony that helped dissolve Guns N' Roses nearly 20 years ago still lingers. Axl Rose announced Wednesday that he won't be showing up to see the band inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and declined the honor for himself. In a letter to the hall, band fans and "To Whom It May Concern," Rose listed several r…

I love the Clintons ... I think Bill was one of the better presidents in my lifetime and Hilary one of the best Sec of State we have had in a long time. In the clip she talks about the few minutes during and after the killing of Bin Laden. http://news.yahoo.com/video/us-15749625/28920258

Rich People Have Less Compassion, Psychology Research Suggests | By Daisy Grewal Posted: 04/11/2012 Who is more likely to lie, cheat, and steal—the poor person or the rich one? It’s tempting to think that the wealthier you are, the more likely you are to act fairly. After all, if you already have enough for yourself, it’s easier to think about what others may need. But research suggests the opposite is true: as people climb the social ladder, their compassionate feelings towards other people decline. Berkeley psychologists Paul Piff and Dacher Keltner ran several studies looking at whether social class (as measured by wealth, occupational prestige, and education)…

This is upcoming cover Entertainment Weekly double issue covering the summer movie previews. Are you excited about "The Dark Knight Rises"? I think it will be a big let down after the last one since that one was so good. We'll see if they can bring it.

A few months back a friend gave me several of his books on teenage prostitution. This is something that I am facinated by .. especially from the 60s-70s-80s era where most of it was boys living on the streets. Anyway, I read this book by Robin Lloyd who at one time worked for NBC news. He was able to get access to these guys and their stories are compelling. It makes me sad that many of these boys went through what they did. I always try to picture where they might be at today, what their lifeis like now? Did they overcome their hurddles in life or did they give up? btw Anyone else happen to read this book or know of others like it? I noticed the bookis available at Am…

Gabriel Arana writes a good analysis/pocket history/personal memoir on the Ex-Gay quackery. http://prospect.org/article/my-so-called-ex-gay-life Beginning on the 3rd page there's an interesting section on Dr. Robert Spitzer's role in the crucial 1973 reclassification of homosexuality in the APA manual (before then we were officially warped), his 2001 study that was latched onto by the Quacks as justification for their practices, and his subsequent efforts to retract the 2001 study as scientifically flawed.

For many years I earned enough money playing poker to do it full time. I mostly played cash games ando nce in a while took a shot at a tournament. For those who are not poker players the two types of games play quite differently. In any event it had been an awesome 9 years ... travelling around the states checking out different casinos and doing something I truly enjoyed for a living. About a year ago I slowly cut back on my playing. Sticking to games in my area and a few trips to So California card rooms. I didn't do so well. In January of this year I went a bit wild ... used terrible money management and by mid-February was totally broke losing tens of thousands of d…

One downside of living in Dallas is there really is no live theater. And touring companies seem not to ever reach this city. When I was a kid we used to go to NYC often and almost always catch a play. One of my favorites was the original cast of Hair. Later I would see the touring show in Las Vegas which was also quite good. Anyway, maybe as I get older I miss some of the more talented arts. Frankie and band were always blasting out of a crummy AM radio back in the day. I never knew there was such a compelling story behind the hits. I sure wish Jersey Boys would somehow end up in town.
