- The Rolling Stones are going to play Bill Clinton's birthday party. I wonder if he can pull of the "Waiting on a Friend" sax solo.
- Al Jarreau and George Benson are teaming up to do a covers album that you will be hearing in New York taxis for the next 20 years. Paul McCartney makes an appearance too.
- The Byrds' four-CD/one-DVD box box set will arrive on September 26. I like the Byrds, but I think I can do with just the original greatest hits record.
- Dubliners protested against a proposed "U2 tower." The head of the protestors, Buck Mulligan, said the tower was a "snotgreen tower. A scrotumtightening tower."
- Slate has an obituary for the "first black hippie," Arthur Lee. He did have a good look, that's for sure.
