Deal me out, I’m talking to Miss…. Dubois

Karl Malden, the Academy Award-winning character actor who for more than 60 years brought an intelligent intensity and a homespun authenticity to roles in theater, film and television, from “A Streetcar Named Desire” to “The Streets of San Francisco,” died on Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 97. (via NYT)


Wilco at the Greek for a fun summer night

The Wilco show at the Greek Theatre last night was good fun.  It may have been a rock and roll extravaganza down in front, but we chose to sit up in the nose bleeds on the grass under the sycamores viewing the bay, the SF city skyline, as well as the stage.  It was a beautiful warm summer evening with a great selection of favs, some songs from the new album, and plenty of laughs.  At one point Jeff Tweedy brought his son Spencer out and told the Berkeley audience “look at what you did to my son, you dirty hippies” and then told him to “get off stage and go take a bath”.

California stars and good tunes - these guys don’t disappoint.  There new album “Wilco (the album)” comes out this week.

Check out Spencer Tweedy’s blog.  The boy is crazy creative.  When I was 14, I was still farting around with colored pencils.

Dark Night of the Soul

“I’m a mix of God and monkey.”
—Iggy Pop, ‘Pain’


[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

"Everyone watched everyone else and we wondered how all of this could be happening. Who were all of these people? Where did they come from? These were the same people we pass by unknowingly every day. We saw one another, it feels, for the first time. Now in the second week, we continue to look at one another as we walk together, in marches and in silent gatherings, toward our common goal of having our vote respected."
