Lengthy - and I thought pretty good - article in today's New York Times Magazine.

Pretty sad article about Bill Haley on this exact topic.

Dice-K's checkered career with the Red Sox might be over.

Still liking this one ...

There was a really good - and somewhat sad - profile of him in The New Yorker last year.

Exactly! And I assume his response is "hey man, I'm just waiting for my Blimpie sub ..."

And they should be pissed. Neely in his prime was awfully good.

Happy birthday Bob!

According to this story it is 6:00 PM in each time zone. On May 21, "starting in the Pacific Rim at around the 6 p.m. local time hour, in each time zone, there will be a great earthquake, such as has never been in the history of the Earth," he says.

Yeah, apparently it's fake though. Rumor is that it's part of some Gillette "close shave" ad campaign.

Pretty good documentary about a pretty interesting couple. On a pretty meager income they become important - and obsessive - art collectors.

Saw the Feelies Saturday night in Cambridge. As always, they put on a tremendous show. Two hours of music, with a nice mix of old and new. While I like (but don't love) the new album, the stuff they played from it sounded great. The first encore was the Stones' Rocks Off followed by REM's Boxcars.

I took to be that Phil Esposito is still held in very high regard by many Bruins fans. He was a little before my time but as a kid I remember seeing bumper stickers around Boston saying "Jesus saves, Esposito scores on the rebound."

Bartolo Colon had his own fat and bone marrow stem cells injected into his elbow and shoulder to help repair ligament damage and a torn rotator cuff.

I've never been a big Civil War buff but a few weeks ago my family and I were near Gettysburg and we swung through for a visit. Man, it was a pretty intense visit. I'm not ready to be a reenactor or anything but I feel like I definitely need to know and read more about it.

Fan shouts out request at Paul Simon concert and he invites her up onstage to sing it. Her expressions are pretty priceless. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXBlY5CImUU
