I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.
Links
To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Bad boys with birthdays Couple of notorious bad boys with birthdays today:
John Rocker was born October 17, 1974. Not the most important guy around, but you got to like a rebel with his own mind. Plus, he got a tremendous LOT of crap for no real legitimate reason, so let's all send him out some love.
Eminem, though, HAS asked for much of the flak he's caught. On the other hand, he's a sincere artist of considerable skill and vision who has made some outstanding and REAL music.
On the third hand, Eminem turns 30 today, and he really needs to think about getting some new material. A 30 year old still carrying on about what a bitch his mother is really ain't cutting it. As OK Go puts it in the jam of the year, "Get Over It." Plus, autobiography as the basis of your art in general becomes very limiting and repetitive very fast. If any y'all gets to talk to him, direct him to Walter Rimler's book on songwriters whose work has stood the test of time, Not Fade Away. It'd do him a world of good.
