The Who, on a U.S. Tour, Start a Gig at the Garden. Pete Townshend still cares about the Who's songs. His conviction was in the way he attacked one guitar after another at Madison Square Garden last night: windmilling through power chords, wrenching out sustained notes and then slicing them off, machine-gunning harsh tremolos and then speeding and squiggling with manic insistence. The Who had something to prove, and he knew it. By Jon Pareles. 11:46:32 PM

Greg Hanek talks about using a blog as an idea repository, other people do it too, and I do it myself. I have a laptop away from the desktop that's on wireless, and it goes where I am. In the late evening, if I spot something that I want to remember for the next day's Scripting News I note it here, and if I remember the next day to look at DHRB, it gets onto my main weblog.

Along those lines, tonight's West Wing rerun was phenomenal. I had seen it before, but the second time around it was so cool. I cried and laughed so many times. Loosened everything up, made me feel realllly good. The closing scene was something else, the background music which comes up to a crescendo is Brothers in Arms by Dire Straights. Tomorrow I'm going to have to look up the lyrics to see how the words fit in with what's happening on stage.
