Well, isn't that convenient. I'm SO glad that Pelosi and Reid took impeachment off the table. I mean, we really dodge an impeachment bullet there. Thank god there's not a ball or lady ball between those two or we might have actually had some accountability this past year. Whew, glad that bothersome Constitution still remains shredded.

Oh, and Bush 'killing' something with 'Freedom' in its name. How redundant.

Bush 'kills' Freedom of Information Act compliance officer:

"Buried on page A17 of Wednesday's Washington Post is a bit of a non-surprise: President George W. Bush has effectively killed a position monitoring compliance with government efforts to release documents.

Late last year, Washington watchdogs won over a reluctant President Bush, who agreed to sign a law enforcing better compliance with the Freedom of Information Act."

You mean a minority party can BLOCK bills?!? Really? You mean the Dems could of blocked the war resolution? The bankruptcy/credit card bill? The Terri Shaivo debacle?

Wow. Who knew.

Republicans block stimulus bill :

"WASHINGTON - Senate Republicans blocked a move by Democrats on Wednesday to add more than $40 billion in checks for the elderly, disabled veterans and the unemployed to a bill to stimulate the economy.

The 58-41 vote fell just short of the 60 required to break a GOP filibuster and bring the Senate version of the stimulus bill closer to a final vote. The Senate measure was backed by Democrats and a handful of Republicans but was strongly opposed by GOP leaders and President Bush, who objected to the costly add-ons."

Warning. This next bit is not for the faint of heart. Its an important topic, though, and one I feel must be discussed here on AAW.

Soon, I will begin a cleansing/diet/exercise regime unlike anything I've attempted in the past (this will be AFTER the DBT show, of course).

I'm talking a top to bottom overhaul. And when I say 'bottom' I ain't kidding. I'm going the Colonblow route.

I shan't get into may details here. If you want to read about this product and experience then I've supplied the links below. The website is hilarious (check out the testimonials).

In short, there are two ways to clean the colon. One involves sticking something up the place where everything comes out. Not an attractive choice for me.

The other is to start at the top and work your way to the 'bottom'. This is the option I've chosen.

I give you:

Colonblow - natural, aggressive, humorous colon cleanse

I agree. "Bipartisanship" is for chumps. I want MORE partisanship from the Dems.

Glenn Greenwald - Political Blogs and Opinions - Salon:

"But more importantly, 'bipartisanship' is already rampant in Washington, not rare. And, in almost every significant case, what 'bipartisanship' means in Washington is that enough Democrats join with all of the Republicans to endorse and enact into law Republican policies, with which most Democratic voters disagree. That's how so-called 'bipartisanship' manifests in almost every case.

Many people, especially partisans, always believe that their own side is compromising too much and that the other side is always winning, so it's best to consult objective facts in order to know how 'bipartisanship' works. Here are the vote breakdowns by party over the last couple years on the most significant and contentious pieces of legislation, particularly (though not only) in the area of national security."

Snoop digs Clinton and Obama but only reps 'Gangsta party':

Snoop said he's not supporting any candidate because 'I'm not down with the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. I represent the gangsta' party.' However, he did acknowledge that he feels a tie to Obama because 'I am a black man in America and I know that he relates to everything that I'm going through.'

'I just want to see somebody win that's in the best interests of America' Snoop emphasized, 'and either Obama or Clinton 'is a great move for America, because we need change.' But his concluding statement was that 'I think America is ready for a black president. ... People feel that this man could really win.'"

JI400 at Slim's - San Franciso - 1/26/08

After days of torrential rain in NorCal and the closing of the highway that takes me to San Francisco I awoke last Saturday morning wondering if seeing Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit was going to be in the cards. JI400 had to cancel their Long Beach show two days before due to a flu bug that swept through the band and I might be stuck in Wine Country needing an ark to arrive at Slim's.

The first peak out of my window that Saturday morning revealed the sunrise below and I knew that 'every little ting... gonna be ahright'.

I rolled into San Francisco without a problem, made some phone calls to coordinate with some friends and after a heaping bowl of Won Ton soup from King Lee's my buddy Rich and I hopped into a cab and drove down to the venue.

Once at Slim I caught up with Jimbo who took me backstage to say hello to everyone. The band looked liked they had rebounded nicely from the nasty virus and spirits were high all around. I met Deery for the first time and he's on hell of a nice guy and a fantastic addition to the 400 Unit.

Once I heard Will Hoge strike his first notes I hurried back up stairs to catch his set. See, I've been in the same venue Hoge has played in twice yet I'd yet to really hear he and his band play. Will toured with The Drams last year and I was too busy having deep conversations with Brent and the Boys to focus on the excellent play of Will Hoge. Tonight, I would not be denied.

Hoge and his band are outstanding. Such soulful rock and roll with hints of the Black Crowes when they meant something... a purple haired beauty accompanying the band of the fiddle... well I just had to go out and grab me a Will Hoge CD the next day.

Here's a couple of pictures of Will and his band.

Will has a big purple tour bus... that Will actually drives. Talk about a man of many talents. If you're going to check out JI400 on this massive tour be sure to catch Will's set. You will not be disappointed.

Oh, and the ladies seem to really like Will. He pulled in quite a bit of talent that night.

Next up was JI400.

Here's the crew for the evening

From left to right, there's Rich, Fish, Kimtucky and Sofia. Good folks at a good show:

The crowd filled the joint....

The guitars were looking pretty....

Then the boys hit the stage...

Browan giving me the 'What the hell are you looking at' look.

The band proceeded to rip into a great set of Siren's songs mixed with Jason DBT work. Both GDLL and Danko were played.

The music was mighty fine and the band sounded great. Jason's voice hadn't fully recovered from the bug but you would have never known there was a problem. That sweet soul flowed from his vocals as smoothly as the shots of Jamesons flowed into my shot glass.

This tour is being sponsored by Harp Magazine. Jason and Will are blogging the tour on Harp's website. Good stuff to read:

HARP Exclusive: Jason Isbell (Road Report, Pt. 2):

"Played in Little Rock the next night. I was quite disappointed by the fact that the girl from Evanescence didn't show up. I think she's extra cute. I hear she's Church of Christ though, so we wouldn't be able to do it standing up—somebody might think we were dancing."

Here's Deery tickling the ivory.

If you haven't already check out JI400's acoustical version of Bob Dylan's The Man in Me on WLAY's MySpace. What a great cover:

MySpace.com - WLAY-AM - MUSCLE SHOALS, Alabama - R&B / Rock / Country - www.myspace.com/muscleshoalssound

Guitar face:

And there was some fist pumping....

The show ended and we helped the boys load the van. Little did we know that this was the last time most of this gear would be touched by anybody in the band....

In the process of loading, Browan took me on stage to show me a chord that I was having problems with as I try to learn Dress Blues on the guitar. I am a guitar playing neophyte so for Browan to take the time to learn me... well, Northern Alabama produces some quality folks.

Goodbyes were said, hugs all around and I went home sated with the sounds of the Singing River floating in my head already looking forward to the next time.

The next day I get a phone call from Jimbo asking if I knew of a good glass repair man. The band's van had been busted into and all had been stolen. I felt sick to my stomach for the boys.

But worse can get worse. This seemed to be the last straw for Ryan, the 400 Unit's drummer. Ryan made a decision to pack it in and head home. His very reasoned and eloquent blog post on his MySpace explains his decision

Myspace.com Blogs - I regret to inform you... - RTillery MySpace Blog

Ryan was quickly becoming my favorite drummer to watch on stage. His presence is awesome and his playing matched.

I wish Ryan the best.

Here's Ryan doing what he does best.

The must go on and Jason makes sure to communicate to the fans that thievery, busted windows, hell nor high water will stop the tour:

Myspace.com Blogs - Long Beach and Sacramento shows - Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit MySpace Blog

Dear fans and friends,

Leading up to the California shows, Jason had been under the weather with the flu. As the cold worsened, it became apparent that, in the best interest of Jason's health, Jason and the 400 Unit would not be able to play Vault 350 in Long Beach.

Having taken a day off to recuperate, Jason and the 400 Unit regained positive momentum with great fan support in Los Angeles and San Francisco. It was after the San Francisco show that life threw its next unexpected punch.

On the morning of Monday, January 28, the guys discovered that their van had been forcibly broken into and that much of their gear had been stolen, including four guitars, a drum kit, an accordion, and a laptop computer. Considering the technical and emotional deflation that they experienced, the guys were left with no choice but to cancel the scheduled in-store performance at Dimple and evening show at Harlow's in Sacramento.

Now, with a repaired van window, replacement gear on the way, and Portland, Oregon on the horizon, Jason and the 400 Unit continue to forage ahead.

For the canceled shows and appearances we sincerely apologize, and we greatly appreciate your understanding. As Jason and the 400 Unit roll into your hometown, greet them with cheers and energy, as your undying support will be vital to their success in this otherwise trying time.

Thanks for the great show and better time, JI400. Here's to the rest of the tour being as smooth as a baby's behind.

Nader Sucks

This piece of egotistical shite. If the far left gets suckered by this douchebag again, I swear, I'm going to spike the granola with the brown acid and be done with the lot of them.

Just as bad as the christian right being suckered by Bush/Rove et al.

Sorry, I'm not to hip on Nader seeing how he's largely responsible for Bush being in office the past 8 years.

The teenage themes are what you'd expect: sex, insecurity, betrayal and friendships. But the perspectives are hilariously incongruent coming from the mouths of adults.

Axe Victim: Drive By Truckers Brighter Than Creations Dark:

"This album brings back all that was ever once cool about country, and it does it in spades.

DETOUR.:

"Drive-By Truckers take a turn for the Tweedy on the first track of their sixth studio album, washing “Two Daughters And a Beautiful Wife” in the melancholy acoustic guitar the Wilco frontman has favored since the days of Uncle Tupelo. But with a few kicks to the fender and a Bob Seger reference (”Come back baby, rock-n-roll never forgets…”), Brighter Than Creation’s Dark belches some smoke or maybe just belches, and really gets into DBT gear with the spectacular roadhouse stomp of “3 Dimes Down.” It’s exactly the kind of regional pastiche the band has been knocking out of the park since at least the vaunted novellas of Southern Rock Opera, but it’s also the sound of a typical Georgia dive bar on any Friday night."

Pitchfork: You write songs that are without question political, yet rarely explicitly so.

PH: I never want to be that guy spouting off my political views. I mean, they're pretty well known, and it certainly comes out. If something's bugging my ass on any particular day, I'm probably going to say something about it, but I'm not going to go on a tirade. I dislike Bush as much as probably anybody on earth could, but having said that...I've said it, you know? It's not like I'm going to change anybody's mind. I've always thought preaching to the converted is just kind of futile and silly. That's so much of what does occur. I played as a solo act at a Green Party rally in Athens a few years ago; Ralph Nader was there. Everyone got up and gave their long-winded speeches and all that. The crowd clapped, oohed and ahhed and all that. But I was thinking-- they're not changing a single person's mind. There's not a single person in this room that didn't walk in loving what Nader would have to say. Bless his heart, there's a lot things he might say that I might not agree with, but there's a lot of good he might say that would probably be good to hear. But tonight? There's not a person in this room that's going to be converted, you know? They're already converted. I'm more interested in writing about the personal stories of people. Sometimes I don't agree with them.
