Last Day Ever!

Why is every oriental rug place perpetually having a huge blowout sale or going out of business?  Think about it, every rug joint you've ever passed always has like 70% off signs in the windows or some kind of never ending going out of business sale.  Really weird right?  Rabble-B

Laugh of the Day

The funniest thing I heard today?  Prince is playing at DNA Lounge in SF.  It's a small venue in SOMA down the street from my work.  Four shows in two days.  It was announced today and tickets sold out today.  The price?  $250 a pop.  What?!  Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!  Who on Earth has that kind of money to spend on a concert?  Seriously?  What a fucking joke!  I wouldn't pay that much money to see and Guns 'n' Roses original members reunion where they play Appetite for Destruction from beginning to end after Jimi Hendrix rose from the grave and replayed his entire set from Woodstock note for note.  NO-WAY! 

It is the the goal of the music industry to rip off every legitimate music lover, audiophile and ignorant dad with more money than sense and bleed as much money from them as they can while they peruse Caribbean real estate for their third home.  It's a total racket from Ticketmaster to Clear Channel to U2  to Sony and on and on, and the fans (and often artists) get screwed every time.  Rabble-B

One Week

In the past seven days I've gone the opposite direction of Morgan Spurlock in Supersize Me and gone snowboarding, mountain biking, rock climbing, fly fishing and hiking.  However, I've drank enough beer to counteract most of the healthy benefits of all this activity so...  Rabble-B

Shakedown

So last night I watched several Harlem Shake You Tube videos with my wife.  It was the first time I dipped my toe in the pool of the Harlem Shake and shocker, turns out it's stupid.  I don't get it, I can have a seizure too, doesn't mean it's dancing.  I'd rather have spent those five minutes on You Tube watching Trapped in the Closet instead.  Rabble-B

Goin' Home

Guitarist Alvin Lee died last week after complications from a surgery in Spain.  He was the man behind the band Ten Years After and a severely under appreciated guitar slayer.  Lee was blindingly fast and a big influence on Guns n Roses, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and countless others.  I'm not usually one to publicly mourn celebrities but Lee was simply a badass guitar player which I can truly appreciate.  Watch this video of I'm Going Home from Woodstock, it's insane:

Always fill the gas tank when you borrow a car

So my friend just moved to Oakland and her car got stolen the first night she was there.  You might say, "Duh" or "Welcome to Oakland" or "I'm surprised it took them so long".  But, her car was found a few days later on the side of I-880.  It had a full tank of gas and had been vacuumed out.  Seriously.

Anyone want to borrow my car for a few days?  She only takes premium and make sure you get the fries in between the seats.  Thanks.  Rabble-B
