“John, they finally appreciate you! HBO is making a miniseries about your life.”
“Awesome, who did they get to play me? Brad Pitt? George Clooney?”
Sigh. John, I so understand.

Bob Dylan: It is not an old peoples’ world. It is not an old peoples’ world. It has nothing to do with old people. Old people when their hair grows out, they should go out. And I look down to see the people that are governing me and making my rules – and they haven’t got any hair on their head – I get very uptight about it.
I think I love Barack Obama just because he doesn’t wear one of those insane yeah I’m a patriot American flag pins, as Bill Mahar said, “It’s literally the least you could do.”
I’ve watched the first three parts of HBO’s John Adams miniseries. and so far I’ve seen a naked dude tarred and feathered, another dude whose entire body is devoured by smallpox sores, puking, blood letting, dementia, another dude having his leg sawed off without anesthetic, and Ben Franklin bathing with a really heinous old French Chick.
This is the sort of crap that needs to be in the parental guidance warnings in HUGE letters!
I was just extremely entertained to notice that Las Vegas is actually helping to promote the new movie 21, which dramatizes the MIT Card Counting Team’s time in their Casinos. It’s like they are saying, “Go ahead and try to cheat. Either you’ll be bad at it or we’ll bust your kneecaps. Either way, we know you’re so in love with gambling that any publicity is good publicity.”
