Another Year Over and a new one has begun

So the blog as scrapbook seems to be drifting off into cyber history. How many tweets a day am I sending? As you can tell by the lack of entries, the need to post (and the time to post) just isn't there. There is still something satisfying about the relative longevity of the blog post. Ever tried to track down a tweet sent last week in a hurry?

In an effort to do things that should be done before it's too late, I took the BW to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Annex in Soho which closes this weekend. Why is it closing? Too expensive and lousy merch. And rock and roll is dead (long live rock). The exhibit overall is for the ADD crowd. The special John Lennon in New York exhibit was not as special as The Clash show which I saw there when the museum first opened. Alot of facsimile manuscripts and 45rpm sleeves. No green card. Child asking a parent why the eye-glasses on display were covered in blood -- "read what it says." The museum was pretty crowded. Leaving we marvelled at the line stretching down Mercer Street to get into the Uggs store -- now that's Rock 'n' Roll!
