Well, one of the strangest adventures of my life has reached a new stage with the release today of “Dirty Papers” by McClin (dirty refers to the drug trade, papers refers to money - that’s for all ya squares out there, lol). I am now a registered song writer at Buma/Stemra and the proud composer [...]

The heavyweight fight between Francois Botha and Evander holyfield is about to begin…pull up a chair and enjoy the festivities…no, don’t touch the beer, it’s mine…well, then, you should have brought your own…okay, here we go…
11.09pm Francois Botha entering the ring. Well, actually he’s walking down corridors. It’s like something out of Spinal Tap; he’s [...]
RANDOM…I’ve been revisiting David Bowie’s seminal masterpiece Diamond Dogs relentlessly for the past week or so. Here’s the problem I have with Bowie; I can’t stand his singles. Cannot abide them. No Jean Genie, Changes (ugh) or Rebel Rebel for this listener. The power and force of David Bowie lies within the depths of his [...]
So, Goose walked into The Rail the other night, dripping with worry.
Sit down, kid, I mumbled, and tell me your problems.
Goose took a quick shot of Jameson’s and, for no apparent reason, slapped the bartender. Hard, across the face.
What’s that for? the bartender cried. I haven’t done anything.
C’mere, Goose slurred. When the bartender was within [...]
I spent the past night catching up with Sinead O’Connor through a series of interviews and appearances available on You Tube. Sinead, now a beautiful, fully haired, middle-aged Irish woman heeded the precept that if you gain the world, but lose your soul, you’ve accomplished nothing.
Sinead made the decision to walk away from fame and [...]
MEDIA…the Sandra Bullock breakup with Jesse James has been fascinating for media watchers. It’s clear that a sharp dichotomy now exists between mainstream reporting and that found on major internet gossip sites. It’s equally clear, if you read between the lines, that everyone is reading salacious internet gossip and then, as primly as possible, pretending [...]
Twenty three years ago today Sugar Ray Leonard upset Marvin Hagler to win the undisputed world middleweight championship. It was an unforgettable night and the decision rendered by the judges is still sure to provoke an argument among all manner of fight fans.
I watched at Maple Leaf Gardens, with about thirty of my closest friends. [...]
GRID IRON…the Washington Redskins had a monster defence last year. The team, however, was consistently undermined by the dreadful play of their quarterback, Jason Campbell. The Skins addressed their greatest shortcoming in dramatic fashion on the weekend, acquiring Donovan McNab from the Philadelphia Eagles. To call it a puzzling move on the part of the [...]
Alright, lets relax and watch a stream of tonight’s Roy Jones - Bernard Hopkins, uhh, war.
Rumours have it less than 1,000 tickets were sold as of Friday afternoon.
In truth, Hopkins and Jones treated fans as dirt for their entire careers. It’s why they have no constituency at this advanced stage of their fistic journeys.
A Duran, [...]
