I don't think they've played New Zealand since 1968, so this may be your only chance. Why miss it? I've seen the band 30 or 40 times since 1982 and I agree that Roger's voice is a bit tattered, but you really only notice it if listening to a soundboard recording. In a live setting it sounds pretty good amongst all the racket. I missed their short U.S. tour this year, but longtime fans/friends have told me they were in great form.

I noticed this shirt while watching Storm Chasers the other day.

And all those beheading videos were strokes of PR genius? Meet the new boss, same as the old boss ...

Nope.

Barack Obama He's just a politician Not the messiah. And that John McCain? He's just a politician Not the Antichrist. And Sarah Palin? She's just a politician Who likes to shoot stuff. But that Biden guy Did you know he had transplants? It's still a bit sparse.

Pete Townshend explains why he allowed The Who's 'The Seeker' to be used in the film: October 20, 2008 -- SOME fans of The Who, who know of Pete Townshend's deep spirituality, were surprised to hear "The Seeker" on the soundtrack of Bill Maher's antireligion documentary, "Religulous." So Page Six contacted Townshend, who replied by e-mail: "Bill Maher is a comedian. I am a songwriter. I have faith in what I would call God, but I am not a religious man. I don't want to press my views on other people. Maher seems to have the wish to question and make fun of the sanity of we believers. I'm ha

Nice game, TB.

I cracked up when Creed likened Jan's tub birth to "the tide at Omaha Beach." Creed's character needs his own show.

And dead people aren't supposed to vote, either, but they do.

Beck appears on a hidden track on The Geraldine Fibbers' self-titled debut EP, however it was released before Nels joined the band.

(CNN) -- The Venezuelan government has expelled two Human Rights Watch staffers and ordered them not to return, the group said Friday. The men were kicked out of Venezuela on Thursday night, hours after issuing a report in the capital of Caracas that asserted that the 10-year rule of President Hugo Chavez has weakened democratic institutions in the country. Jose Miguel Vivanco, Americas director at Human Rights Watch, and Americas deputy director Daniel Wilkinson were confronted at their hotel and given a letter accusing them of anti-state activities, the organization said Friday. "Their

Figures are skewed for people living in certain areas. The average American drives 33 miles per day.

The primary use of most passenger cars is to commute to/from work and the occasional trip to the store. Most people could do their commuting and make short trips without ever firing up the gasoline engine. It's a big deal.

I saw Blonde Redhead in England in 2002 and someone threw a cup of liquid at singer Kazu. Maybe it was beer, maybe it was piss, but she showed some punk rock attitude by touching the wet stain on her clothing and then putting her finger in her mouth and tasting it.

Funniest thing I've heard all day, Comrade.

The Dot Com bust began almost a year before Clinton left office.

You do know that automatic weapons are illegal in this country, right?

"The Defenders Action Fund focuses on stopping the anti-conservation policies of the Bush administration." "Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund is organized under Section 501©(4) of the tax code. As such, it can lobby and engage in unlimited work to influence legislative action. Because of this, the Action Fund is not a charitable organization" And an endorsement by Ed Asner in case you weren't sure if this was a politically motivated (i.e. anti-Republican) group.

You're mistaken. I pay for it on my premium because even though it's a not-for-profit hospital, they don't want to be a for-a-loss enterprise, hence the hefty charges to those who can afford to pay.

A large-caliber pistol is a weapon of last resort when you're attacked by a bear. A rifle won't do any good once the bear is on top of you. I knew an Alaskan who kept his pistol on a rope around his neck when he was in the boonies so that he wouldn't drop it if a bear jumped him.

Many Alaskans carry guns with them. There are things that will eat you or stomp you to death roaming the streets. The woman who runs our facility outside of Fairbanks keeps a gun handy for bear and a BB gun at the ready to shoo away moose.
