This is our Cougar

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

I couldn’t let this go without a blockquote:

"About halfway through the record I didn’t really know what it was supposed to be about," Mr. Mellencamp said. "I had so many political songs akin to ‘Masters of War,’ that kind of stuff. But then I recorded a song called ‘Ghost Towns Along the Highway,’ and I said that’s what this record is about."

I’ve gotta hand it to anyone who can evenly and honestly evaluate his own greatness and shelve a bunch of songs that are merely generation-defining. Heap all the critical acclaim you want on Dylan, but his songs never sold any trucks.

    Reading that interview, it stirred up thoughts of “Drew Bledsoe’s” blog, TonyHomo.com. “Drew” and John are two of the most amazing people on the planet, just ask them.

    I think that I found that guy from the Brooklyn museum. Watch the episode of the Office from season 2 called “Drug Testing”. I think that he is the ID badge photographer. Let me know

    Ha! I’ll go back and check that episode. We’re pretty sure we ID’d him too as the guy who plays Pete Hornberger on 30 Rock.

    It’s good to know that so many great minds are on the case.

    It was actually “conflict resolution”, though, so excuse meee.
