What does it cost to slap a Las Vegas waitress on the butt? If you’re Dennis Rodman - 225 thousand dollars! A federal judge in Sin City awarded the money to Sara Robinson, who accused The Worm of getting drunk at a bar in the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in 2006 and giving her an unwelcome slap on the booty. She says the incident – which also included Rodman trying to force her to dance with him – completely humiliated her. Things change when you’re out of the NBA, don’t they? Dennis is now viewed as a trouble maker, unwelcome party guest…. rudeness personified. But seriously, if he were Kobe’s teammate right now, pulling down 21 rebounds a night…. he’d just be “boisterous”…. and “misunderstood.”
Heart are at work on their first studio album since 2004. Singer Ann Wilson says, “We’re about eight songs in right now and it doesn’t even have a working title yet, but it’s going to be amazing.” Guitarist Nancy Wilson will have more of a vocal presence on the disc. Look for Heart on tour later this spring and summer.
John Mellencamp is going to be pretty busy for the next year or two. He’s going out on tour with Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan, and he plans on working on a new album, while on the road. On his website he says, “It just seemed like a good idea to do it this way. It gives the making of the album a new perspective and context — and it’s something I’ve never done before. I’ve gone into my Belmont Studio in Indiana for the last 30 years to make records, and this is another way to do it.”
Mellencamp is also working on a box set, which he says will be a “broad overview of my songwriting, and it will be much more about the writing than about the hit records or the versions of songs you may be familiar with.”
Okay, I get it. The Dodgers are better than us. But a winnable game was lost last night. Here are the Top Five Reasons the Giants helped give it away…
5. Fred Lewis… dropped a fly ball that led to a free run.
4. Fred Lewis… is a strikeout machine… six in the last two games… good work for a leadoff man…
3. Eugenio Velez.. three pitch strikeout with the bases loaded. The best pitch you’re gonna see is the first one.
2. Travis Ishikawa… you can’t get doubled off of third on a play like that….
1. Bob Howry….yikes.
There are at least five more…. but I’m starting to get chest pains…
Bob Dylan’s new record Together Through Life has a special guest throughout the whole album-Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ guitarist Mike Campbell. Campbell says, “These were special sessions. All the players were in a loose and inspired mood, and ideas were flowing freely throughout. In fact, there were more songs recorded than actually made the album.”
Also playing on the disc is David Hidalgo from Los Lobos, along with members of Dylan’s touring band.
Barry Bonds got a standing ovation at AT & T Park last night…. and he was just sitting in the stands. And when he was joking around with Jon Miller, Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow on the broadcast, I couldn’t help but imagine him in a Giants uniform again. Are you kidding? It would be the biggest story in baseball. He’s reviled in every other ballpark, but he’s loved in the Bay. Can you just see it? Low scoring Giants tied at 3-3, bottom of the 10th against the league-leading Dodgers… nobody out, bases full. Out of the dugout comes Number 25… who would want to face him? It might as well be the late Babe Ruth coming out with a bat…. it would be that electrifying. I know he’s got baggage…. But remember, if Charles Manson could hit .357, he’d just be “misunderstood.”
After that disastrous blown save Sunday night against the Diamondbacks, I was ready to send Giants closer Brian Wilson to…… Mogadishu, Manzanar, Mars…. anywhere but here. He singlehandedly cost Matt Cain a well deserved victory, which have been damned hard to come by. But in baseball, there’s not much time to cry…. Better suck it up, ‘cuz there’s a game tomorrow. So with the game on the line last night at home, Brian blew away the hated Dodgers, striking out the side in the ninth……preserving a one-run nailbiter. I take back everything I said, Brian…. You’re the man, bro…..
A Chinese real estate development company is dealing with the economic slowdown by offering the deal of a lifetime — buy a house and get a wife for free. Now, this might now fly her in the U.S., but apparently men in China are dealing with big-time struggles in the romance department because men outnumber women by a huge margin. So, a Beijing company is encouraging future homeowners to date their sales girls and promises a cash wedding present to any couple that ends up getting married. You think this is what they mean by the term “cultural differences” ?
Today Bob Dylan releases his new album, Together Through Life, his first disc with new material since 2006. It contains 10 songs, nine of which he co-wrote with longtime Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. Why put the album out now? Dylan says on his website, “This particular album was supposed to come out next fall sometime — September, October… We made it last year and it was supposed to be put away for a year. But then the guys from the record company heard it and decided that they would like to put it out in early spring and not wait for the movie.” The movie he refers to is My Own Love Song, which features one of the songs off the album, “Life Is Hard.”
