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.

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.

New Album Releases, 11-7-2006: Eric Clapton, Josh Groban, Keith Urban Josh Groban releases his third album this week, Awake. I can't remember any of his previous songs, but he's sold a bazillion records. This looks like "uplifting" music of the most insufferable kind. I'd rather listen to Cristy Lane. As music goes this week, I'm most impressed with Josh Groban's tight pants on the album cover. As Horatio Sanz used to say to Chris Kattan's version of Antonio Banderas, it is too sexy. Naturally, this is the #1 album at Amazon.
Eric Clapton has finally gotten around to one of his more obvious moves- an album with JJ Cale, The Road to Escondido. Mr Cale is author of "Cocaine" and "After Midnight."
Keith Urban has a new album this week, Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing. I'd mock him, but he's so utterly bland and generic as to leave me with no material. There's just nothing there even to make fun of. He's got so little personality that he could be an American Idol. I'm sure he'll sell millions.
