Kermit Ruffins – Happy Talk
Filed under: Blog Entries, Entertainment & Sports, Society & Culture
I love music and jazz has to be one my favorite genres (it’s also why I learned to play trumpet). If you’re a fan of New Orleans Style jazz, then you might want to check out this CD. It’s currently on pre-order and set to release October 26th, but here is a free downloadable track from the CD to peak your interest.
Happy Talk is Kermit Ruffins’ newest release following an unforgettable performance as himself in the first season of Treme’, HBO’s acclaimed new drama series. Lifted into the national spotlight by theHa hit television show, Kermit keeps the momentum swinging with his first big band album.

Rally To Restore Sanity
Filed under: Blog Entries, Community, Entertainment & Sports, Laughable, Politics, Society & Culture
I just happened to be up late watching the Daily Show and Jon Stewart announced his Rally to Restore Sanity. In a time when Americans have gone completely out of their minds (in regards to politics), this might be something needed to get us back on track.
According to their website, the rally is for “… people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat; who feel that the loudest voices shouldn’t be the only ones that get heard; and who believe that the only time it’s appropriate to draw a Hitler mustache on someone is when that person is actually Hitler. Or Charlie Chaplin in certain roles”.
I’m actually curious to see how many people will come out to an event advertised on Comedy Central. But Jon has the viewers and I’d include myself among those who’ve been discouraged by all the political craziness. But despite that, I think I’ll stay put and let others experience the rally as I follow first-hand accounts of it on Twitter.
Not to be outdone, Stephen Colbert is having his March to Keep Fear Alive. What is this world coming to?
And if you are thinking about going let me know. I might be willing to set up a live stream from the blog.
