Our Daily Dead

Damn: Ex-Napalm Death Guitarist Jesse Pintado Dies. So much for guitar lessons…double damn.

Seems to us after no end of tail-chasing that our fav commercial these days stars none other than Honest Abe. Dare to dream indeed even if the drug companies push their products much like televangelists push theirs. Maybe there is a connection there….and while you are sleep deprived might as weel read a bit from the folks who write for Ad Freak.

Power Hour: somehow or other we were picked up by Caustic Truths.com. Give ‘em a wee look, eh?

And how could we let today go past without some type of post? Certainly you are all dressed up and ready for Michael Jackson’s birthday, non? Nice of him to leave the country, but he forgot to take Mel and Tom with him. Likely there should have been a busload.

British fashion model Kim McLagan dies in traffic accident. Who? “…Kim McLagan, a British fashion model in the 1960s and the wife of former Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan, died Wednesday in a traffic accident. The 57-year-old spa owner was hit by a dump truck when she ran a stop sign in Travis County, said James Parrish, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety…”. So says the KRIS TV web site. And Who would have guessed: KRIS further relates that “Kim Kerrigan rose to prominence as a teenage model in London in the 1960s. She married the Who drummer Keith Moon in 1966 and appeared the next year in the worldwide satellite debut of the Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love” video. The couple divorced in 1975, and Moon died in 1978. She married Ian McLagan the same year.”

Environmental News
Our mindful Left Coast reporter Bill recently filed this story regarding the passing of one Tim Mckay: Tim was an activist and long time executive director of the Northcoast Environmental Center (NEC) in Arcata. He passed Sunday of an apparent heart attack whilst birding at Stone Lagoon. He was 59. As a rare bird himself, one hopes that perhaps his heart gave out after seeing the rarest bird on his life list. He was the main man at the NEC for most of it’s thirty five year existence. Making sure that environmental wrongs were exposed and then corrected,he was needed not only by us enviros but also by the Charles Hurwitzs’ and Harry Merlos’ of the world, as every evil doer needs their Batman.

Editor’s note: Tim McKay’s reported last sighting was of a Cooper’s Hawk. You may of course interpret this as per your current theology/philosophy/&etc deems reasonable.

Emulating Big-Ben? News

Family Values meets Common Sense News
Andy Richardson was beaten to death in the mosh pit at a recent Korn concert. Apparently Mr. Richardson took his heavily pregnant wife and mentally challenged offspring into the mosh pit and asked others in said pit to kindly refrain from jostling his companions. Missing the entire emphasis of the current Korn tour another mosh piter punched Mr. Richardson in the head whereupon he fell heavily to the concrete floor.

Alcohol As Truth Serum News
Is anyone truely surprised by Mel Gibson’s rant? Seriously? Consider the bizarre religious beliefs Mr. Gibson (son AND especially father) hold near and dear and Ta! Da! Mel’s anti-Semitism rant seems to have an obvious launch pad: in Mel’s tiny world the Jews are responsible for what he believes is the most heinous crime in all of history - the death of Jesus. Perhaps a ticket price refund is in order. We do know that Mel skipped the On Deck circle and rushed his career directly to the front of the Our Daily Dead queue. We didn’t realize that Mel and Tom were related, did you?
