Celebrities Make Predictions in SHNS Super Bowl Poll

By E&P Staff

Published: January 31, 2007 4:10 PM ET

NEW YORK Scripps Howard News Service (SHNS) is once again conducting its "Celebrity Super Bowl Poll."

Participants in the 18th annual survey include actors Paul Newman and Sylvester Stallone, politicians John Kerry and John McCain, basketball star Dwyane Wade, tennis star Serena Williams, golfers Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, and others. The person who picks the winning team and most closely predicts the final score takes home the "Super Sage Award" trophy.

The winner will be announced this Monday -- soon after the big Sunday-night game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Chicago Bears.

Previous winners include Congressman Jack Murtha (2006), actor Dennis Farina (2005), and Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir (2004).

SHNS is marketed by United Media.

Howyadoin?
Only slightly crazed here.
Contractors are busy busy. Before they can finish the new laundry room, they are replacing the water pipes in front of our house.
At the same time, they are getting the gas line piped over to where the BEAUTIFUL new stackable dryer will be placed.
I don't even (well rarely) do the laundry anymore, but I sure do love the looks & effiency of the new appliances! Just wait til Scott starts buying the new kitchen appliances. It's an exciting time. Well, before they dig into the kitchen, I have already baked and froze a bunch of heart shaped cookies for my favorite band. I always like to send cookies back when those guys play the Fillmore. The first time I did this was years ago-about 1998 or99, I guess? MK was still kind of new. I tried to bring a huge basket up the Fillmore stairs but the door guys/security told me "NO WAY!". I then went out to the gate and promptly found MK. Til then, I only knew him via email (he use to post sometimes on Deadnet),so it was the first time I actually spoke to him (what a relief he is as nice in 3d as he was in em) I told him that these were for him and the band and asked him to take them up the back. Instead, MK walked them through the front door with me tagging along. The security guys were all smiles and said "Yeah, YOU can't take them up, but HE can!" Since then either through a favorite crew member, band member or some entitled bandtourage, the cookies always make it upstairs.
It's not all about the cookies, I have other treats for my fellow line duty freaks...
See you in line!

Whooosh!
Glowy was here and we had mucho fun! As you can likely tell by the amount of spelling errors and missing words in the last few posts. It's not that I can't spell, it's that my vision is so poor that I don't see the errors til after I publish. I'm usually in a huge hurry,so misspells are just left there.

Scotto's still in SoCal at the NAMM convention . I think the stories of Glowy & my adventures in SF will top anything that might have occurred at NAMM.

There were notes up that said the event was videotaped to be released as a webcast in Feb!

Evening began with a buffet which was more of a dinner than appetizers. Then lots of stuff were autioned off. The most tempting item was Janis Joplin's self portrait, which went for only $800. There was a sldeshow and then one of the Blue Star Music camp scholarship girls came out and started the mousic off with a song. I don't have a setlist nearby. Lots of rocking! I danced until I got too sweaty (Reminder to self: No more wearing Velvet schmatas to music events!)

Bimbo's is an awesome venue!!! Everyone got hats, posters and heart shaped scented things (room freshners? soap?) Not sure what they are- havent taken the thing out of it's silky wrapper. Saw lots of friends last night, made a few new ones and am even more excited for my end of the West Coast run to start! !!!!!!!!

Good news for folkies!
From CyberGrass:
The series of 24 one-hour programs explores the remarkable collection of music, spoken word, and sound recordings that make up Folkways Records (now at the Smithsonian as Smithsonian Folkways Recordings). The music of modern day giants like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and Ani Difranco is interwoven with original Folkways recordings to demonstrate the lasting legacy that Folkways Records has on popular music. Recent and archival interviews with Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Mickey Hart, Studs Terkel, and others help reveal the remarkable human stories behind this equally remarkable collection. The series was produced by CKUA Radio in Alberta, Canada and originally aired in 1999.

Graying Hippies Mark 'Be-In' Anniversary

By LISA LEFF

SAN FRANCISCO - Their hair, once a symbol of youthful rebellion, is mostly gray. Bodies that writhed with wild abandon when a guru invited them to "Tune in ... turn on ... drop out" now sport stiff knees and age spots.

"How many of you are on acid right now?" rock critic Joel Selvin asked an audience of former hippies who turned out this past week to mark the 40th anniversary of the Human Be-in, the counterculture event that unofficially launched the Summer of Love. "How many of you are on antacid right now?"

In many ways, the '60s as we now know the era was born Jan. 14, 1967, when musicians, poets, visionaries, student radicals and wayward youth gathered in Golden Gate Park. It was the unofficial birth of the counterculture movement that defined San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, a prelude to the social and political upheaval that followed.

Those who were in the park that day agree neither they nor San Francisco have been the same since.

Part rock concert and literary event, part protest and mass consciousness raising, the Human Be-in was billed at the time as a "Gathering of the Tribes" meant to unite and stir up the various wings of the counterculture movement. Estimates of the number of people who cavorted on the park's Polo Fields that day range from 10,000 to 50,000.

The speakers and bands who appeared reads like a "Who's Who" of 1960s icons: LSD advocate Timothy Leary, poets Allen Ginsberg and Gary Snyder, comedian Dick Gregory, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane.

By all accounts, psychedelic drugs were in plentiful supply, courtesy of a parachuter who tossed free doses to the crowd.

"Over the years, probably a dozen people have come up to me and said 'You guys were fantastic!' I say 'We weren't there,'" laughed David Getz, drummer for Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Janis Joplin-fronted band that was not on the lineup the day of the Be-In. "And they say 'No, I saw you!' Maybe they did."

By that summer, publicity about "the happening," as it was called, and the Monterey Pop Festival in June, had encouraged thousands more young idealists to head to San Francisco. Haight-Ashbury, just outside the park, was the flower child's Mecca.

At Tuesday's commemorative forum, sponsored by the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society, panelist Jim O'Donnell recalled the transformative days leading up to the Be-In, when he went from being an engineering student at the University of California, Berkeley, to a freewheeling Haight-Ashbury resident.

"My life turned from academia to sex, drugs and rock'n'roll _ unfortunately, not necessarily in that order," he said.

Like other panelists, O'Donnell and Getz remembered the Human Be-In as both the beginning and the end, an event that would be much duplicated but never equaled.

"The Human Be-in was a creation from within the San Francisco counterculture," Getz said. "The Summer of Love really was a creation of the national news media that befell San Francisco."

Selvin, the San Francisco Chronicle critic and moderator of the discussion, noted that many of the young people who flocked to San Francisco that year were not emotionally equipped to handle the raw experiences they encountered and "some of them wound up as debris."

But Peder Jones, an educational publisher who attended the Be-In, said that despite the drug-soaked atmosphere, "not every hippie wound up incapable and penniless."

"We ended up doing jobs that didn't exist when we started college. The idea of groups doing things together started to make sense," Jones said.

Some in the crowd reminisced about how they knew even then that they were living through extraordinary times that would resonate 40 years on.

"I was there and I enjoyed it immensely _ and miss it, as a matter of fact," O'Donnell said.

Bobby at MacWorld!

I found the following post/anecdote @ http://www.wilshireandwashington.com/

Why the Grateful Dead Turned Out for Pelosi

Certainly the most notable celebrity presence in last week's festivities for Nancy Pelosi had to be the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir.

The guitarist, along with bandmate Mickey Hart, played a show in honor of the new Speaker of the House, a fellow San Franciscan.

On Jan. 3, the duo stopped into a D.C. fete hosted by California congressional sisters Linda and Loretta Sanchez. While standing next to the dessert table, which sported a vanilla cake replica of the Capitol Building, Weir responded to a dare, leaning over and taking a big bite out of the dome.

“Didn’t use any hands, either,” Weir said later.

Pelosi has known the band “a long time,” he added, “and like all politicians, she can use all the help she can get. But the band is behind her politics all the way.”

Of the Dems reclaiming control of Congress, drummer Hart said: “We feel proud. Well, maybe. We have to see what they do.”

After all, as he acknowledged about politics over the last few years: What a long, strange trip it’s been.

“Indeed," Hart said. “But it could get stranger.”

Which may be why Weir, asked how he was enjoying his visit, said, “Can’t wait to get out of here.”

What a crazy day! Scott had eye surgery and right before that, I got called from the high school nurse's office that they were sending Sash home until her immunization records were updated. I said,"Fine, send her home!" For whatever reason- they sent her back to class instead. I'm feeling good- Paul, the contractor was here measuring and getting ready to pull everything apart.
After surgery @ Stanford Medical center, we waited around for the meds and raced home. Scott got some goooood meds which further disabled him. I ran Sash to get her immunization stuff updated (or she can't return to school!) then hit Molly Stone's to find food for dinner. I'm just now winding down. I'll poke around see if anyone has news about that booksigning thing from yesterday. Someone told me the Ratdog at the Fillmore show is sssssssold out!
This is excellent news for us Hometown dogs! Woofin'!!!!

"Don't tell me this town aint't got no heart!"

This article on Keller Williams mentions that Bobby is playing on a new cd.

I drive by this bench almost everyday. Today, I finally had to snap a picture,
It's not a bus stop (how perfect would that be if it were?) but was made for and presented to the ancient crossing guard who has been stopping traffic so kids can safely get to school since forever.

Pelosi party mini blog
Press Democrat reports that

"On Monday, six Bay Area high school students sat down with former Grateful Dead band member Bob Weir to create, record and mix a song on Mac computers and studio equipment located in an RV in the north hall. It was part of the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus, which will be at the expo all week and open to the public."



OMIG! I want one!!!!!
What's freakin weird is the sample chatter they have up to demonstrate the phone is suppose to be a guy from my town (Belmont, CA.) and I know exactly the location they are talking about meeting.

ARGH! More Blogger frustration! Seems I can't get my newest links to post on the side there---->
Well, til that gets worked out, here's a link to Mission Music!
an enterprise mr Scott has been putting together. Groovy to have everything come together right before the NAMM (National Association of Music Manufacturers convention in Anaheim. Scott will be heading there! He always just misses seeing BobStar. Maybe this year will be different?
If youre coming to SF and find yourself checking out all the awesomeness in the Mission, go by and say 'Hey' to Big Scott. He told me to tell you to use the special codeword (Ratdog) for a discount for any treasure you might like to purchase.
Speaking of NAMM-

Here's Bobby singing a sweet Masterpiecefrom the student gallery at last year's NAMM convention as part of his involvement with John Lennon Educational Tour bus.

I'm on fiyo with this youtube stuff!
Here's the video that Bobby "filmed" in 1999 or maybe it was 2000? I went to 4 of them in 4 years. This was the last one that I know of.
Bobstar was entertaining folks in Union Square (SF) . It was Celebrity Scoop day for Ben & Jerry's- proceeds from the sales of scoops (Phil was scooping- That's a video for another time) . After Bobby played he was hanging out and graciously signing stuff for folks. I approached (hear the fear in my voice?) and asked if it would be okay to have a picture/vid on. He didnt mind but for that one big moment, no one was around to deal with the cam. I was disappointed but Bobby took the camera, pointed it at himself and me. I was elated. LOL, I didnt know til I got home that the entire length of video was about 3-4 seconds long. Still cool enough to share with all you freaks!

We were watching Buster dancing in rhythm to a Ratdog " Liberty". By the time we found our camcorder and adjusted the light, the song was 1/2 way over and the disruptions messed up Buster's perfect rhythm but here's the clip we did manage to film!

Happy New Year!

And what better way to start this new year out than by getting ready to purchase some Ratdog Valentine's Day Tickies?!!!

woof!
