Sep. 10th, 2003 08:33 pm10 Reasons Why Warren Zevon Was Cool: "How many singers got to use R.E.M. as their backing band?"
WZ obit by Dave Barry: "We also did 'Werewolves of London,' but Zevon insisted that it had to be sung by Stephen King."
What would Jesus drive?: "One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth because the Bible says, 'God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury.'"
Bush toy was not much fun: "The bigger problem is that I cannot find any weapons of mass destruction anywhere in the box."
A publisher ponders the Al Franken / Fox News mess: "Waiting until it’s difficult-to-impossible to make changes in a book, and then trying to legally force changes to be made at the point of the book’s greatest public exposure, isn’t how you defend a trademark. It’s how you count coup."
Optical illusions. WARNING: may cause your eyes to burst from your head.
Today's amusement: type "weapons of mass destruction" into Google and click the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.
Off to Wal-Mart, then back to Le Guin.
