BluesBlogger's Bloviations

Mood: Annoyed
Listening to: Purple Rain

Let's see... the Republicans want an end to the judicial filibusters which they used so artfully during Clinton's administration to block Democratic judges.

Nothing lasts forever. Sooner or later, the balance of power will change and people will be screaming about the lack of a mechanism to stop judges that are pro-<insert issue here>. This is not to say this isn't happening already.

Harry Truman once said former presidents should become honorary members of the Senate. The reasoning was so senators could benefit from their experience and knowledge. His only caveat was they would have to limit their right to filibuster.

When does it end? When do we stop monkeying with small issues and get back to the business of doing what the legislature does? Pass budgets, put bills in place which benefit citizens and protect the weakest among us.

Call your senator and tell them to get back to the business of doing real work instead of being party hacks. 

Mood: Ehhhh...
Listening to: Dirty Laundry

Am I the only one who really could not give a crap that Paula Abdul slept with anyone?

Mood: Pretty good..
Listening to: How Blue Can you Get?

Let's not mess around... the House of Blues has the market cornered on making sure you have a great experience at whatever concert you attend there.

We used the pass the line option which allows you in before general admission if you eat in the restaurant.  We waited in line for about an hour and a half and grabbed a couple of bar stools as we watched the hall fill up.

King's band came out and did two numbers to warm up the audience. You can tell all of these guys are among the best who ever held the instruments they hold in their hands.

When the Man came on stage, the place went wild. As he played, it was evident he was loving the give and take with the crowd.

I don't think there could have been any better performance ever given by any musician. We couldn't have had a better night watching a true craftsman.

One extra drop B.B. threw out was bringing his Marine grandson out on stage who recently returned from Iraq. B.B. also said he still has another grandson still over in The Sandbox.

Makes you wonder if The King of the Blues can have his grandchildren lean forward and serve, why don't we see other celebrities have their kids moving forward?
