"I lived long enough and I ain't scared of dying."

I walked 47 miles of barbed wire,
Used a cobra snake for a neck tie.
Got a brand new house on the roadside,
Made out of rattlesnake hide.
I got a brand new chimney made on top,
Made out of human skulls.
Now come on darling let's take a little walk, tell me,
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

One of the fathers of rock and roll, Bo Diddley died yesterday at the age of 79. Playing a guitar he made himself, Bo Diddley created one of the greatest "beats" in rock and roll. Impossible to describe in text, the "Bo Diddley beat" in my opinion is one of the foundations of rock and roll music. Thanks Bo.

Where everybody claims to know my name...

Hello all,

Good news as my favorite watering hole was picked by Esquire magazine as one of the best bars in America.









This is the picture that Esquire took, but it may as well be called "Shane's point of view" as I try to sit there whenever I go in. If you are looking for great burgers, drafts and bar staff, and the quirkiest collection of patrons, then this is the place for you.

That's Hedley...

Hello all,

Sad news from Los Angeles as news that Harvey Korman died. He was 81.



I was always a fan of Mr. Korman and never felt he received the credit he deserved in regards to his work on the Carol Burnett show as well as his film work with Mel Brooks. But in my opinion, there is no "Blazing Saddles" without Mr. Korman's brilliant work as the character Hedley Lamar. The work he does in each scene is a perfect balance of physical and this intense seething you feel his character has just below the surface. As close to perfect as you can get in my book.









On "The Carol Burnett Show", I always felt that Tim Conway always received far to much credit while Korman received too little as the straight man to Conway's incessant mugging. Gene Wilder and Harvey Korman have always been two of my favorite comedic actors of all time and my guess is that Mel Brooks would agree since he cast them both in almost everything he did. Thanks Harvey, you will be missed.
