Things Down Under

I discovered Amanda Fucking Palmer one late night on twitter, when she found this young kid on the streets of San Fran and bought him into her house where she did a impromptu web cast of the kid playing some amazing piano. It was intimate and spontaneous, and I was hooked on this eccentric character I knew nothing about named Amanda Palmer: 

Her new single Map of Tasmania from her forthcoming album "Amanda Palmer goes down Under" is a wild ride to regions few have traveled. (For those of you outside Australia “map of Tasmania” is Australian slang for a woman’s pubic region.) 

Amanda MacKinnon Gaiman Palmer^[2] (born April 30, 1976), known professionally as Amanda Fucking Palmer,^[3] is an American performer who first rose to prominence as the lead singer, pianist, and lyricist/composer of the duo The Dresden Dolls.^[4] She has since started a successful solo career, and is also one half of the Evelyn Evelyn duo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Palmer

Bob Dylan - Like a rolling stone

A true turning point: 45 years ago today Dylan went electric at Newport.

DYLAN GOES ELECTRIC
The Newport Folk Festival, July 1965

from Robert Shelton, No Direction Home: The Life and Music of Bob Dylan, New York, 1986, pp. 301-304.

At the Newport Festival in July 1965, Dylan played three songs with a rock backing and unleashed a storm of derision.

NJ Summer Cruising and Bench Racing

At one time Hatboro was one of the hottest crusing spots on the east coast, there was even articles written about the cruising scene in Hot Rod magazine and in Car Craft magazine.

Some Hatboro Hot Rodders are working to bring cruising back to Hatboro Pa.
The first Thursday of every month you can meet up at the Mcdonald's parking lot in the center of town, and will be cruising town for a couple of hours, come on out and join us -bring your Hot Rod, Muscle car or Antique car and make a few lap aroud the strip. 

On the 3rd friday on every month a group of NJ HAMB members get together for a meet and greet at Edison Park in Edison, NJ behind Middlesex County College, Mill Road.  Just a bunch of car people, talkin cars, and lookin over each others rides, no DJ, no trophies, rods and customs, and a good time! 

 

Something the dog said....

The dog with his head out the window, mouth closed, the wind folding his jowls and exposing his clenched teeth like he was growling at the hot sun. He’s been like that for the last 150 miles, 65mph winds shooting through his nose and exiting out his ears. Wonder why the dog don’t get hit with any of these bugs that splatter against my windshield. Ah cheez, talking to myself. Five hours of driving through the middle of nowhere and I’m loosing it. Ha funny, the dog just looked at me, he knows.
