	Saturday, June 30, 2007 Tonight: Rush at SPAC! Me, the Missus, and Miriam-to-be (the name of the moment) are off to beautiful Saratoga to see those monsters of Canadian rock, Rush. Imagine hearing "YYZ" or "Red Barchetta" from inside the womb?

God I loved this band. Their version of the Charlie Brown theme ("Linus and Lucy") is the first cut. There's Daniel Johnston there, exploiting himself. Oh, and now there it is--"Things Don't Change," a great track. Why don't they reunite? Pearl Jam and Hootie covers over the years, fan sites. "In Your Eyes," taken off of 120 Minutes, no doubt. "Over and Over" and "Other Side" from their final album Pop Beloved (i.e., their gift to the cosmos). Then Nirvana happened, the frat boys took over indie rock, etc. Labels: Beyond Camp, Riffs # 12:17 PM Thursday, June 14, 2007 Whiskey in the Jar(s).

Check out this link. This is the first real confirmation that there really will be a Freddie Mercury film. Besides the usual who-will-play-Freddie casting rumors--Sasha Baron Cohen and Johnny Depp, for instance--and Brian May's cryptic comments, there's been no corroborations it will happen. And on top of that, to hear that Michael Cunningham--author of The Hours, Pulitzer Prize-winner--has penned the first draft of the screenplay, both on that site and here, is really exciting.
