Jim Morrison's family sues over the 21st Century Doors tour. I reviewed the Phoenix show for Mediaburn here. In my opinion, the tour has no malicious intent. I actually think it's great to see and hear the Doors' music during this stale period in the music business. I paid under $30.00 for my ticket and it was a good time. The group plays tonight in Boston and tomorrow in Philadelphia. 5:21:14 PM

Interesting and amusing words from Ted Turner concerning media concentration. 2:03:28 AM

Check out the video-clips, turn off the TV, start blogging...then go to the beach, go to the mountains, play some music, call up a friend... "TV Turnoff Week" [Daypop Top 40] 1:43:38 AM

From A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens: IT WAS the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way- in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. 1:28:58 AM

Shi: Sempo by Al Rio. Another great piece from Al Rio, this from the cover of Shi: Sempo #1 -- a July release from Avatar Press. Fabulous color on this by Nimbus Studios. Be sure to check out the rest of that section, there's some great work there. [Avatar Press] 1:12:05 AM
