Live: What’s his name? Ringo, Ringo, Ringo… Sure the show essentially sucked but it was Ringo and I saw him again and that’s enough, right? Not to mention, Cliff Cliff Cliff, The first time I’ve seen him in (gasp) 50 years. Oh, and I got a tix to the Replacements in Forest Hills, very near to where I live!
Recorded: Lana Del rey and David Gray own the week, which means I must be a lot more depressed than I thought I was. Bubbling under: a surprisingly good Willie nelson and a surprisingly good Tiesto, and a surprisingly only good the Front Bottoms.

International News: ISIS , the Sunni militants are battling the Shi’ite government in Iraq and winning.
Local News: A 14 year old boy killed the boy who had bullied him for months while New York fiddled mindlessly. This is such a horrible story it is hard to find the good guys.
