Together Again

No, not this:



But this:



Yes, yes, the rumors are FLYING out there; every tabloid out there is reading "rekindling" into dinner. Maybe they ARE dating.

Like most of you, I'll believe it when there's a statement from one of the principles involved, not a "source close to the couple" -- remember, that 'source' could have just been the waiter who was near Richie and Denise in the restaurant.

Maybe it was just dinner.

JBJ Character Profile

I don't remember ever seeing this on TV when it aired -- and I say USA, you should pull this out again :) but here is USA's Character Profile of Jon Bon Jovi (from 2009). Thanks, FD, for the link!

A Note from Jon Bon Jovi

From various places (FB, JBJ Soul Foundation, BonJovi Website):

Dear all,

Sorry it has taken a minute to write this note, but we've all been very busy in the Kitchen.

The JBJ Soul Kitchen officially opened its doors in Red Bank, NJ on October 19th. The response has been even better than we could have hoped for. We at the JBJ Soul Kitchen are a Community Restaurant where there are no prices on our menus. As you may have heard you can either donate at least the minimum donation of $10.00 for your meal or donate your time to earn your meal. We have met many people from across the economic spectrum who are all ready, willing, and able to engage in our community.

At a time when 1 in 5 families are living at or below the poverty line and 1 in 6 children in NJ are food insecure, this is a restaurant whose time has come. The JBJ Soul Kitchen is also a model that can be replicated in your town.

I want to thank everyone who made this vision a reality, all of the staff, volunteers, contractors, those who have donated money, time and words of encouragement, those who have come to eat or just to check us out on the web.

If you are in the Red Bank area, come down and check us out, lend a hand, make a friend or two, and by the way, eat!

See you soon...JBJ

This patron, from BG Entertainment shares his experience at the Soul Kitchen. He plugs his own website as well, and doesn't seem too comfortable talking to the camera, but his words are heartfelt.

Wanted Wednesday: May 12, 2004

Please rise for the playing of our national anthem.

Ordinarily, I would choose a show from today's date, but the only one I have in my arsenal is from the Lost Highway tour, and I've done a few of those from Newark not too long ago, so I'm picking something different.

So I have for you today a Richie cut, from the Toys for Charity Gig in Markham Park, Sunrise, Florida. This was a short set with Richie, Steven Tyler, and Pat Travers.

Let's Ride!





And my Mediafire was being a bitch today, so you can download the track here.

Memphis Lives in Me

From Broadway.com

Just before his first performance as Huey Calhoun in Memphis, Adam Pascal joined the show's Tony-winning composer David Bryan for a very personal performance of "Memphis Lives in Me." As Bryan recently told Broadway.com, he and Pascal share a rock sensibility, and the two are obviously feeling simpatico about Pascal's Broadway return in Bryan's long-running hit.



A lovely performance, but for me, Chad will always be Huey.
