I'm Alright

Here he is - the man; the myth; the beard...

Kenny Loggins!!

Actually, this picture is from a couple weeks ago when we worked a charity event at the Hyatt which featured Kenny Loggins. This was taken (not by me) from about sixty feet away, so the picture isn't exactly Mapplethorpe quality - okay, maybe that's not the best example.

As for his performance, I was actually quite impressed. His band was awesome and he still has his pipes. He played all of his big hits including "I'm Alright," "Danger Zone," "Footloose," "Return to Pooh Corner," the Loggins and Michael McDonald tune, "This is It," and even the Loggins and Messina hit, "Danny's Song" which features the verse:

Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup
Drink it up, love her and she'll bring you luck
And if you find she helps your mind, better take her home
Don't you live alone, try to earn what lovers own

And even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya, honey
And everything will bring a chain of love
And in the mornin' when I rise
You bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me, everything is gonna be alright

Goddamn it, now I'm crying. I told myself I wouldn't do this.

Cheesy lyrics aside, great tune. And judging by... oh, I don't know, the way he trims his goatee I guess, he seems like a cool guy.

Dreamcast 2.0

I found this article sort of amusing - mostly due to the fact that I've recently purchased a Sega Dreamcast. Not that I give a crap about the new Microsoft Xbox 360, mind you. It's just a great example of obsessive, over-analytical video game journalism.

In other news, I've been working nights at the new property where I've been 'assigned.' I blame that for my recent lack of web log posts. Besides, there's nothing really exciting to discuss. I guess that's not really "news," but it'll do for now.

End of an Era?

Today, I have done, perhaps for the final time, something I have done at least once every year since I was old enough to do it; buy a Star Wars movie. Revenge of the Sith came out this week, and adding it to my collection truly makes the saga complete.

Oh, hell! Who am I kidding? This teat is still full of milk. There's the subsequent Super-Deluxe Blu-Ray DVD Ultimate Special Edition Mach-4 Versions coming out any day now, not to mention the live action television series which will need to be released on the Digital Versatile Disc format at least once. Plus whatever future formats there will be.

Now that it comes to it, I'd better clear off a few more shelves.
