At the Nashville show Jim mentioned being blown away by the Reverend.  Actually I think it was more like "He blew the roof off the fucking place."  For the fourth my wife and I sold ducks for the Great Knoxville Duck Race.  The Duck race benefits the Boys and Girls Clubs which we both work for (The ducks are rubber).  We had a booth at the World Fair site which has been redone as of this year and it is really nice.  Big grassy areas, water fountins and pools, a couple different stages set up, some local bands played as well as the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra.  We watched the fireworks show at the end of the night.  A beautiful evening here in East Tennessee.  I hope MMJ plays outside at the Worlds Fair park on some other beautiful summer evening.

I was half asleep with a guitar in my hands in a park in Berlin and I watched the Eurocup finals in a pub nearby.

I guess it should help to explain that I'm not from America... :)

I work in Greektown (in Toronto), and I was hurrying to leave before the game ended.  Just as I was crossing the threshold to the street, this noise erupted from everywhere, and I knew the game was over, and that Greece had won.  So I ran.  I ran to get off the main strip and make my way home because those people were mental.  Greek football hooligans.  Our restaurant had to hire a police office for the day - to be safe.  And some insane reps from Little Portugal came up and started waving their flags.  And a fight started.

I know we're talking about the 4th of July, but what is UP with the football insanity?  I have NEVER seen anything like that.  Even when the Blue Jays won the World Series.

You should come to europe to visit a football game. Riots every night, or almost every night, twice a year ...
Oh it will be the same overseas I guess.

spent a quiet 4th just hangin' out...nothing special.  decided against 100,000 sweaty folks at the Al green show...(sob, sob).  i think the heat index here yesterday was like 103 degrees (F)...

went for a short hike yesterday at a place about 45 minutes from here.  it's called "bridges to the past", and its a trail area with two 1900's era iron railroad bridges over two huge hillsides.  hung out in the cool shade, pondered deep thoughts about iron...
