Warren Haynes

Just heard an interview with Warren Haynes on NPR this morning, He is one of the best singers and guitar slingers I've ever heard and it was very cool to hear what he had to say and listen to some of his new music being broadcast to the world - a prime example of what National Public Radio is all about!
Here's a link to him with the Dave Matthews Band in Central Park doing Neil Young's "Cortez The Killer" - made the hairs on my arms stand up, not too fucking often somebody can cover that one so well...

He Sleeps With The Fishies

The Navy Seals came through; Pakistan apparently missed that one of the whole worlds most wanted humans was living right in the middle of the town that houses their own version of West Point. Makes me wonder about who we call "allies" in this woefully misbegotten war thing our government has been engaged in for a decade.

If you want some background on where this wretched mess bubbled up, read "Charlie Wilson's War" to gain some understanding on how the US set the stage for what is now a reality way back when the old Soviet Union tried to play the Afghan game and we pretty much created and armed their opposition and then (of course) abandoned them.

Osama Bin Laden sleeps with the fishies, hope the sharks don't suffer too much digestive upset.....
