CRAZY HORSE

"Rusty!" ...famous bellow out by Cosmo Kramer on the outstanding comedy series, Seinfeld ...one of the few sitcoms we watch over and over... like Mash, Cheers, Friends, and the like... But really I am referring to the play of Tiger yesterday...in Maryland...at his own T ...struggled early... finished at +3 after a nice 3 birdie effort on his last 6 holes ...and for awhile was dead last...eegads...and needs a solid effort to make the cut...by the way, another very difficult layout... The US got bopped pretty good by Germany in the World Cup ...still seems goofy to play 90+ minutes and not score nary a point...nil...as the Germans dominated the ball ...don't get me wrong...I am not even a D+ novice when it comes to the intricacies of the game...if there are any... but when the other team has the ball most of the time, you are going to lose ...still, with the crazy way they score the outcomes, the US moves on to the next line...of 16... pour me another beer ... ...

Morning kids ...I took a day off to go hit the links...geez, I was almost a golfer again...83...anyway, I was thinking about this song, "Something In The Air" , by Thunderclap Newman ...which got me going...who was that?...it was a group thrown together by Peter Townshend of the Who...and... Thunderclap was one of the bloke's member ....actually Andy...ha ha... Which made me wonder about other "stars" or musicians who changed their names to protect something...or sound better...or hide  their heritage...something...in the air... Check these out ...some that you already know...well, maybe not... Conway Twitter ... Harold Jenkins...Conway, Arkansas and Twitty, Texas...ha ha...really... Axl Rose ... Bill Bailey...please come home... Gene Simmons ... Chaim Weitz...aw, come on... Bono ... Paul Hewson...say what?... Katy Perry ... Katy Hudson...we already had a Kate Hudson...she started as a religious singster... Shania Twain ... Eileen Edwards....doesn...

Bye Bye... In this day and age of the movement of players...used to be once you were on a team, that was it...think about it...so much better for the athlete...monetarily...and the concept of "pride" is obviously fleeting... It happens in pro sports all the time now...sign for 4 or 5 years...and include a buy out clause....that you can use to opt out of a contract...in lieu of the owners trading you away...this is a BIG DEAL!... The latest to "reportedly" opt out?...the best hoopster in the world, LeBron James...too bad, so sad, Miami...and where is he off to?...speculation runs amok... Better to pick your spot, than have to be traded to whomever the owners say...I like it... The Padres... In the aftermath of the firing of the GM...the team is left with a 3 headed one...there is a trading deadline of July 31st...and unlike the NBA, MLB's owners dominate the movement of players...way too many moving parts to put together than the basketball teams... S...

The 60's... CNN and Co-Produced by Tom Hanks ... "The Sixties" ...how can this NOT be good?...a weekly series of that time in the very turbulent US of A...what?...it was love, peace, and happiness, right?...well now... My teenage days...where we were blessed to have the wonderful orator for a Prez... JFK ...and then the assassination...that changed the way the country viewed television...and depth of coverage of what REALLY is going on... What has revved up my engine is the aftermath...when LBJ took over ...and our insane involvement in the Vietnam War...how we were duped ...how evil our leaders of the country really were... how many lives of our soldiers were needlessly lost due to pathetic politicians... Which lead to a revolution of sorts...and the youth of the US rebelled...and joining in were most of the Americans....and rather than do the right thing...Johnson passed on the dilemma and quit...I remember that night so well.... I was greatly elated.... Yo...

Greetings kids... the sun is out and the weather is to be pleasant...mid 70's...OK, it's real easy to get used to... the Pads have one more with the Bums...and the series is tied 1-1...unfortunately, the Boyz got beat last night...boo...lack of hitting...what?... The LPGA is showing the same as the PGA at Pinehurst No. 2...the gals have dodged the T Storms...which changes everything if they touch down...scares the heck out of me...Amy Yang came out of the crowd and tied up Michelle Wie at 2 under...the other Americans fell off...and will take a huge set of birdies to get back into it... USA plays it's biggest match thus far with Portugal...at 3 pm...and it will be raucous in the GQ...there are a lot of soccer fans around here...go figure...so you have the LA beisbol game just getting over as the soccer game starts up...lots of commotion around here....and a huge premium for parking... Is there a day that the K Fam doesn't release something to the public?...eve...
