Rob's Carnival of Fear
My good friend and fellow sketch comedy mate Rob Recklaus pens a
blog entitled "Rob's Carnival of Fear" that, like mine, is also hosted on Blogger. Read it. And then write him and let him know that his funny ass needs to post more often.
R.I.P., Cornelius Bumpus
I initially thought I'd start off my blog with the usual "Hello, World" message so common to the genre. But just as I was about to do that, I received some sad news via e-mail from the
Steely Dan fansite: Cornelius Bumpus is dead. Don't worry if you don't know who he is. Not many do. But if you're a Steely Dan fan, then you know that he played sax on a number of the Dan's albums and toured frequently with the band. In fact, I saw Cornelius play live last summer on SD's "Everything Must Go" tour. He also played with
Etta James and the New York Rock and Soul Review, which featured Steely Dan frontman Donald Fagen. Heart attack, age 52. R.I.P., Cornelius.
