Tommy was an interesting dude. Seems like he was the only one of the originals who had his shit together mentally. Probably not as musically talented as Joey, Johnny or Dee Dee but was a great producer for them even after he left the band.
A little late on this but I agree with TR on the LeBron letter. I don't buy much of it. It's just really good PR in my opinion. He learned his lesson from The Decision. Smart move. I don't buy he's changed a whole hell of a lot.
That said, I never understood the anger with LeBron for The Decision. He's not a bad guy. Never was a bad guy.
Cleveland is a dump. If he wants to live there or near there. Good for him. Better him than me.
Mark I think that was me questioning Lebron's letter. He likely had his PR agency write it for him. We'll never know what he really thinks, nor is that important. I just find it silly for people like Simmons to gush about how classy the letter is etc. It could be completely insincere and we'd never know.
bron didn't write the letter - it was compiled by lee jenkins from sports illy based on several hours of interviews with him. he's certainly learned to package himself better, but i think the sentiment is real.
my neighbor spends a lot of time on his lawn, and it shows. as the days get hotter, though, it's predictably beginning to brown, especially the front, which gets lots of sun. this morning, as we were both working on our yards, he asked me how i keep mine so green. my answer, which is both true and ironic, is that my lawn has far more crabgrass and clover than it does grass. score one for lazy.
While in the ocean today a pack of 6 or so stingrays swam by my wife and I. Within less than foot of me. Pretty cool. Well, I thought it was. The wife, not so much.
I think the NYC borough battle comes down to Queens and the Bronx. As much as it pains me, I think the Bronx wins.

Day drinking with Team Marls and it's goodnight Gheorghies for me. Sorry, Shlara - I dropped the ball on your invitation. Silly me, I thought we were getting together to discuss workouts - didn't occur to me it might turn into an all day drinking event. Clearly, I should have known better.
Brooklyn has Biggie Jay-Z Mos Def Talib Kweli (in combination Black Star) Gang Starr Jeru Black Moon MCA and that's just hiphop. Pretty formidable. Then there's a metric shit-ton of indie rock bands.
I feel like most GTB member family vacation evenings end like mine tonight. Wife and kids asleep with Dad up and drinking a few alone. Fortunately we're in a suite so I'm on a couch and not sharing a bed while drinking.
I could go next door and drink with my brother in law and some Bizzarro children but I'm just fine being antisocial over here.

ReplyDeleteRepresent Queens
TVLand showing a Who's The Boss marathon. Gotta be honest here. Mona's tits are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Marls. Tommy only played drums on the first album, I think. Then he produced. In fact, Rob's clip appears to be Marky Ramone on drums.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't seen it, the Ramones documentary (End of the Century) is one of the best of its kind. See it.
Saw Judith Light in a restaurant a few months back. Overlooking the douchy fact that she requested a small stool for her purse, she looked great.
ReplyDeleteWhich NYC borough is the most musically accomplished? Probably BK but Queens is impressive too.
ReplyDeletedarryl moray's having a bit of a tough week, huh?
ReplyDeleteNot Staten Island.
ReplyDeleteI'm from downtown from the city of Manhattan
I got a lot of girlies and not one's cattin'
or morey, either way.
ReplyDeleteStaten Island = Wu-Tang and not much else.
ReplyDeletefrom downtown, manhattan, the village/my style is wild and you know that it still is
ReplyDeleteQueens = Ramones Paul Simon Nas Tribe LL Cool J Run DMC Marley Marl (not Marls)
ReplyDeleteDon't feel too sorry for Morey (or most people in his tax bracket). He's going to take Ariza from the Wiz.
ReplyDeleteI'm from manhattan MCA's from Brooklyn
ReplyDeleteWe're kings from Queens from Queens come kings / We're raising hell like a class when the lunch bell rings

The best in men's clothing. Call Paul's Boutique, ask for Janice. The number is 718-498-1043. That's Paul's Boutique, and they're in Brooklyn.
ReplyDeletespeaking of brooklyn, i've got 8 hours to kill tomorrow at jfk before my flight to zurich. anyone got ideas?
ReplyDeleteMets/Marlins 1:10
ReplyDeleteOr sit in the smoking lounge for three hours. Equally appealing.
ReplyDeleteChar No. 4 in Brooklyn has great food and an enormous bourbon selection.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of great food. I had some blue crab ravioli and truffle mashed potatoes last night. Strong to quite strong.
ReplyDeleteI thought JFK was in Queens? If so hit Starlets.

LaGuardia is in Queens
ReplyDeleteRob...you could probably set up a few interviews for people looking to replace your travel coordinator. You could do that.
ReplyDeleteMy mistake, Z. I agree with you. Fuck TR.
ReplyDeleteHey TR!
bron didn't write the letter - it was compiled by lee jenkins from sports illy based on several hours of interviews with him. he's certainly learned to package himself better, but i think the sentiment is real.
ReplyDeleteWikipedia says JFK is in Queens too. So go to starlets.
ReplyDeletesure enough. it's in jamaica. and danimal might be onto something.

ReplyDeleteMini summit going on in reston right now. KQ, Mr. KQ, Mrs. Marls and I are at the World of Beer. Rob or Teej, you are welcome to join.
ReplyDeleteThanks for inviting me Marls...
ReplyDeleteI assumed KQ would do that...

ReplyDeleteI'm so fucking fat these days every time I down a six-pack it's a mini-summit.
ReplyDeletesame thing happened to me and my kids in delaware earlier this week, mark. it was really cool.
ReplyDeleteI understand Orange is kind of the color the Dutch soccer team are known for but their blue kits at the tits.
ReplyDeletemarls, thanks for the invite. i'm too busy practicing my neutrality to make it, but enjoy.
ReplyDeleteClarence I have a bit of bloat going meself but I like to refer to it as "The Sexy"
ReplyDeleteMr. KQ, get your sexy ass down to the Banks for the fishing trip. Come down with Marls.
ReplyDeletecosign, ken. could also leave with me early thursday morning.
ReplyDeletemy wife just saw brian windhorst on tv and asked, 'is that jonah hill?' not a great compliment to either man.
ReplyDeleteNo, seriously. They make me leave the state during the Virginia Slims tennis tournament.
ReplyDeleteSlim just left town.
ReplyDelete...in1989.
ReplyDeleteSlim is a loser.
ReplyDeleteI'm street legal now. Just had my 18th beer today.

Cheers, Mark. I missed it -- where are you vacationing?
ReplyDeletePaul Pierce to the Wiz. Didn't see that coming. Nice move for both parties.
ReplyDeleteSt. Petersburg. Florida, not Russia. Short trip with the in laws, Clarence.
ReplyDeleteAnd the fucking Bizzaros.
ReplyDeleteGood forPierce, but I still can't accept seeing him in anything other than a C's uniform.
