People,

Well, the funk of yesterday seems to be lifting somewhat, undoubtedly due to a serious afternoon of wiffleball and songwriting. Plus, it's hard to stay in a funk when there's so many exciting things happening soon.

As many of you may know, the band is gearing up not only for our June residency but also for spending another week in NYC pounding the new teenage symphonies to god into the proverbial wax. The plan is to package these new rock jams with the old rock jams, put them on some wonder bread with a little peanut butter and then give you the best PB&Rock Jam sandwich y'all have ever had. So be on the lookout for that.

In other news, we all watched the Willie Nelson 70th birthday special the other night, featuring John Mellencamp, ZZ Top, Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow..etc. Anyway, near the end of the show Ray Charles comes out and people, I have to question whether the man is actually a human being at all. I mean, never mind that he has the best voice ever, at one point in the song he stood up, danced away from his piano bench for a minute and then sat down and started playing again....in the right key. WTF? I can't play guitar in the right key to save my life. So we think he's faking the blindness or, more likely, that's he's a musical robot who will one day destroy all of us.
