BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

The Games of Our Lives


The Beijing Olympics was one of the best in a while. From the opening to its closing (Becks, Leona, and Jimmy Page), it was thoroughly enjoyable, creative, and imaginative. Good job, China. Those gymnasts, of course, are something else.
