NEW SEASON CONFUSION
Did the Suns trade away everybody except Nash, Marion and Stoudemire?
Driving home from open stage tonight I had the game on and initially I didn't recognize any of the names of ANYBODY on the court. I had no idea who had the ball until Al McCoy said "Kobe Bryant." Okay, the Suns are playing the LAKERS. Not that the Lakers were any help. Other than Kobe I've never heard of anybody on the Lakers this year, either.
L.A. appears to have traded for a bunch of Eastern European players with names that even a seasoned veteran like McCoy has trouble pronouncing. If I remember correctly, the Lakers have a player on their team named something like Lulukchichhgknovich. And that's his first name. It's gonna be a fun year listening to announcers screw THAT up.
Hell, it took some guys a year to figure out how to say Yao Ming.

Speaking of open stage at Fiddler's Dream, we had a good one tonight. We had a couple of poets, even. As well as a couple of people I haven't seen in years. I LOVE hosting this thing.

I guess my "Go White Sox" comment worked!

My friend Nancy Freeman hosted a Halloween special on www.radiofreephoenix.com Monday night and it was fun! If she'da asked me (which she didn't and I didn't expect her to) I would've played "Haunted House" by Jumpin' Gene Simmons 'cause it's my favorite haunted house song, but other than that it was a good time!
Which is a great segueway into plugging my own show on RFP, Zappa Universe, this and every Sunday at 6 Arizona time!
This week features a cool cover version of "Peaches en Regalia" and the entire "Lumpy Gravy" album for reasons I state on the show. Check it out!
