Right In My Backyard

...alas, it was a work day for yours truly last Tuesday.  I did get to go to the game last Thursday evening however -- an ugly win in pre-season, but still fun.

Funny -- Unless You're a Radiohead Fan

See the disclaimer above, in the form of the post title. Jess Grant at  BitCandy has a piece on why Bon Jovi is better than Radiohead.  Not very flattering to RH, but if you're not a fan, it's pretty humerous.

‏I'm not gonna bullshit you, bro. Bon Jovi is way better than Radiohead. On so many levels.

Right now, you probably think Bon Jovi are a bunch of old buttrockers. You probably also think Radiohead are the second fucking coming.

But the way I see it? Bon Jovi are epically invincible stadium ROCK GODS. As for Radiohead, well, they are just pretentious crybabies with millions of moolah tucked up in the bank.

But wait, allow me to prove my point with ACTUAL STATZ AND FACTZ! As come the end of this bloody battle, I am quite sure you will agree: Bon Jovi > Radiohead.

Richie for Blackstar Amps

(August 7)

At The Movies

Jon Bon attended the "Arbitrage" screening in East Hampton yesterday.  I also went to the movies with my dear Hathlet -- saw Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  Who had more fun?  And who sat next to someone cuter?  :)

Apollo in the Hamptons

This past Saturday night, Rom Perelman hosted the Third Annual Apollo in the Hamptons at The Creeks, his amazing home. Special guest artists included multi-Grammy award winning artist Usher, the legendary Isley Brothers and other surprise guests.

This year's [apparent] huge surprise? Blonde Richie Sambora. WAY blonde. Lighter than Jon blonde. Darksiders from all over the world were all indignantly a-Twitter over the weekend. Much cyber-shouting and sobbing, etc., ensued.

*shrug* to each his own -- but Richie as a blonde? He needs to ditch the all-black clothes and tone down the brassy.

Can't seem to take my eyes off his arms though -- holy Hannah.

Still, though, Jon makes the better blonde.

There are dozens of other pictures (both with watermarks and without) on my Photobucket.
