RIP Jeff Healey, GWS Eddie Van Halen, Oops Jimmy Buffett, and Oprah.
By:
The Dude on the Right
A
lot of this podcast is about music, the rest is about Oprah and her Big
Give, and since Stu Gotz and I couldn't get together, well, I'm flying solo.
First off, I was saddened to learn of the passing of a fantastic guitarist, Jeff Healey, and if you don't know who he is his most noteworthy song was called "Angel Eyes," and if you think it looks weird in the picture of how he plays guitar, well, he was blind, this is the way he learned, and like I said, he was fantastic. Happily I got to see him and his band back in 1995, at The Skyline Stage in Chicago. Jeff Healey, R.I.P.
Another guitarist I talk about is Eddie Van Halen, and with the tons of rumors flying around today, the official Van Halen website doesn't give too many answers, only that the Spring tour isn't cancelled, only that some dates are being rescheduled.
And in other music news I talk about how I might not be seeing Jimmy Buffett this summer because I'm an idiot.
Finally, because as much as I poke fun, you still have to give credit to Oprah because she is one smooth businesswoman and now had the highest rated show last Sunday with "Oprah's Big Give." I hate her. I love her. I envy her. My Oprah feelings are so conflicted.
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
