Big Leather Couch

Hope y'all had a great holiday weekend....

Darlin' Nancy and I had a most wonderful weekend. Friday night we had a little picnic and watched a real fine fireworks display. I took some photos and will share when I get them back (they are analog..old fashioned film)...

Saturday we did some chores and then had a nice antipasto and some home made buffalo wings while watching "Bonneville" and "Vantage Point". Really enjoyed both films. "Vantage Point" is one of those flicks that you have to watch carefully as it repeats the events over and over from different perspectives.

Yesterday was a recovery day with a big old breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast and then we just relaxed until she had to head home to be there when her boys came home from a weekend with their dad.

Thanks for your comments on my review of WHERE THE LIGHT IS yesterday...yes even the comments that said "Whatever you do, DON'T give it to (me)", "Not a big fan..." or even "Ever since he dated Jessica Simpson, I deleted him from my memory."

Two people actually stated I should give it to Dana because of the hardship she experienced over the weekend...how sweet is that!

Then there were the five people who campaigned for the CD including the Dana...and she was actually asking for her son...who caused the hardship by not being too smart!

I thought...do I reward him for breaking the rules? Do I feel sorry and give the CD to him anyway?

Ah...the trials and tribulations of holding a prize in your hand and controlling where it may end up...

Lu' wanted the CD because she did not know that much about John Mayer...

Starr spoke of seeing John early early on in his career and spoke of all the times she has told me to get into him...and even came up with an alphabetical reason:

A. HUGE FAN and have been since before he was a star.

B. I think I deserve some props for hounding you about him early on :P

C. C ....well C is for Canolli which you can't make me, therefore it should be replaced with CD...see it's alphabetically prophetic!

The Cannoli comment cracked me up - even though she spelled it incorrectly!

Another Desert Rat spoke of holding her lighter high and jumping up and down...and you know if she jumps up and down her boobies will shake, not a horrible thing! LOL

Mags told her story of seeing him live in CT with his parents on the stage and how his songs touch her emotionally...

OH what to do...what to doooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

I have darlin' Nancy and don't really need to see boobies bobbing....Matt-Man, you can try and get ADR to do it for you...so sorry ADR...

Lu' I think the CD should go to someone who has a love for Mr. Mayer....

Mags...great story, but this time it is not going to push me over the line...sorry...

So, I am down to an Prophetic alphabetical excursion and a lump on the side of the head and a mom who spent hours in a hospital tending to their child. She took the correct steps in confiscating the bike in the height of summer and is obviously disappointed, but she still campaigned for him.

Well, the CD is firmly embedded on my iTunes and I rarely use a CD now a days...so I am going to do a Solomon like thing..

NO, I am not giving them each one of the two CDs that comes with the package. I am going to give each of them the CD package. One will be opened and used. The other still sealed, but I don't think either of them will mind.

Dana and Starr, email me your snail mail address and I will ship off your WHERE IS THE LIGHT - JOHN MAYER LIVE IN LA CD.

Congrats to both of you and thanks all of you for playing. There will be more giveaways in the future, and both of you are not allowed to compete for the next two give-aways...

THEMS THE RULES!

From the CD....the Tom Petty song, "Free Fallin'"

ENJOY.................

Coming up this week on DR. BLOGSTEIN’S RADIO HAPPY HOUR:
(Live on Tuesday July 1st at 9PM ET and forever archived at BlogTalkRadio.

Continuing in the great Blogstein tradition of bringing you the Hot, Young, and Talented, Radio Jesus and Dangerous Lee welcome Talia Coles.

Coles is a singer, dancer and an actress. She was discovered by Warner Music Group A/R maven JoJo Brim, and made such an impression that they gave Coles her own label! “Couture Music” was founded with Brim last fall.

Her new single, “This Little Thing“, is blazing up the charts on New York City’s Power 105 FM which must be a dream come true for this Harlem native.

Also, this week God stops by–or at least a man who claims to be God. Science Fiction writer Thomas M. Disch declared himself to be the Almighty in 2004, began answering questions AS God, and then published his first novel in nine years this summer.

We’ll find out if his new book “The Word of God” was divine intervention, if Disch is just a raving lunatic and we’ll ask him, if indeed he is God, how he feels about getting second billing to Talia Coles on the Radio Happy Hour.

All that, plus Vinny Bond drags his Big Leather Couch into the Radio Happy Hour Lounge to chat live with the listeners, Justin the Weatherman and we’ll take your calls at 646-652-4804.

Join us live every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. The Radio Happy Hour Lounge-a live chat room during show time-is a whole new reason to make sure you listen live! It’s the show within the show!
