Well, George Harrison passed away last week.  Darn shame.  Cheers to ya, mate.  The Home Roadie mourns.

Well, it looks like the Skeleton Crew is performing again, this time every week at The Sutler, a scant few minutes from our last venue.  Plus, if you¹re in or around Nashvegas, I¹ll be at Jesse Zane¹s (no relation), performing stand-up with my multi-talented archenemy Keith Alberstadt and several other great comedians, as well as a rollicking band, on December 11^th.  It promises to be great fun, hope to see you there.  If you can¹t make it, email me, and I¹ll give you my address so you can mail me money.

Now, let¹s get random . . .

• How about them Vols? A glorious win, just glorious . . . and, as I promised in my last
  column, I beat the crap out of myself with exuberant glee.

• If you can¹t pay the 5 ducats on the 11^th to see Keith and I, I encourage, nay, COMMAND YOU, to go see my good buddy Tim Northern at the Cantina . . . Tim¹s recording his act that night for an upcoming CD.  There¹s no cover, and the man is a comedic genius.  You¹ll thank me later.   Oh, and Tim, I¹m gonna try and get down there, my friend.

• Remember when Metallica was good?

• I¹m dating a British girl right now, which is pretty exciting.  I didn¹t realize how much of a hillbilly I was until I found myself waiting for her to say, something, ANYTHING, with that cool accent.  TALK ENGLISH, BABY, GODDAMN!Ø Shut the hell up, Jesse.Ø HELL YEAH!  You wanna see mah pecker?Ø  That¹s usually when she slaps the crap out of me.

•  Are you like me and keeping your fingers crossed in the hopes that maybe, just MAYBE, we¹ll never have to be exposed to Courtney Love again?

• Rumors are running high that the Backstreet Boys are about to break up and go their separate ways.  Ah yes, the MangyDog outlasts another enemy, hahaha.  I¹ll take Alanis Morrisette¹s appearance in a Gap commercial as a minor victory as well.

• Speaking of which, is anybody else heartbroken when they see some fairly decent artists, like Robbie Robertson and Dwight Yoakam, singing their hearts out to a Supertramp song?  When Bob Dylan shows up on my television in a yellow cardigan singing SailingØ by Christopher Cross, that¹s when I¹m setting myself on fire inside a Gap store.

Take care, kids, GO COMEDY!

This is the MangyDog, over and out.
