Wounded Warriors: According to the New York Daily News “Retired Army Spc. Tyler A. Jeffries offered up a heartfelt proposal — and ringbox — to Lauren Lilly, who said “Yes!” as former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, along with former First Lady Barbara Bush, looked on. Jeffries, from Florida, lost both legs to an IED in October 2012.” I am sure everything was very heartfelt, and it is a moving story of true love,. HOWEVER, what if Lily really didn’t want to marry him?
Recorded: After a great deal of Iris DeMent, I’ve gone back to Dre and surprise surprise it sounds a lot better. I still prefer Worriers but certainly “For The Love Of Money” needs no excuses from here, Jill Scott sounds better than she does on her lousy Woman album.
Live: Art Garfunkel going on sale tomorrow -I am very excited over that one, I’ve only seen him with Pau and loved his solo stuff.
Sports: The Yanks lose in 16 innings and the Mets still winning. Not good guys. Meanwhile, Geno SMith is out six toten weeks after a player no longer even on the team sucker pinched him. I’m not saying Smith isn’t a creepy egotist, I bet the rent he is, I’m just saying what happened.As Mike Lupica put it: at least they aren’t punching their girlfriends.
