Police Blotter
Sunday, February 11, 2007
OK, so I turned on CNN at 1:00 PM PT - just now, and the top three stories were:
- Iraq
- Barack Obama
- The Police Reunion
No commentary from me on the list, just amazement at how well-received the whole thing has been...I guess you have to take into account the fact that they really walked away at the total top of their success...
Only a few more hours now...
Da GRAMMYs
Friday, February 09, 2007
In a bizarro world twist of fate, I am off to the GRAMMYs as part of my day job.
I would be lying if I said I am not pretty damn excited to see The Police perform at the show. I am going to see them twice in less than 24 hours as I am heading over to this event Monday morning, too. To get in the mood...
Are you going to be in L.A. over the next few days? Heading to the GRAMMYs?

...at the old Knitting Factory in New York City on this date in 1994...
I posted about Sonny back in July and lots of folks emailed me to say how much they loved him but didn't know anyone else who did! There is now a great new official website for Sonny that recently launched - there's even some audio and video up there - hopefully more people will learn about his work. I really encourage you to check him out.
Sonny's music was always out-of-this-world: electric guitar played like Coltrane or Zorn. Dissonant but melodic. And heavy. Here's proof:
