COW-A-BURGLE!

A man pulled off an udderly shocking crime at a Virginia Wal-Mart, stealing 26 gallons of milk — while dressed in a cow suit.

The unidentified man crawled out of the store on all fours, carrying the moo juice, which he then handed out to people at random. The culprit was spotted skipping down the sidewalk in the cow suit before heading to a McDonald’s.

He was arrested — wearing his regular-guy suit — and released on a summons.

I just got the most interesting email from The Who Fan Club.  Yes, I love them that much!  Here’s the skinny:

ROGER DALTREY TO PERFORM THE WHO’S LEGENDARY “TOMMY” ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH

On the heels of his recent sell out performance at The Royal Albert Hall in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, ROGER DALTREY is now taking The Who’s legendary rock opera TOMMY on the road.

The last time The Who toured Tommy live was in 1989. In the upcoming tour, Roger is pulling out all the stops with his stunning young band – Frank Simes (guitar), Scott Deavours (drums), Jon Button(Bass), Loren Gold (Keyboards) and SIMON TOWNSHEND, younger brother of PETE, (guitar) – and employing an exciting new array of visuals.

TOMMY is not only one of the most acclaimed and defining works of the rock era, it is an enduring album that resonates on radio to this day where it has found multi-generational appeal. Inducted into The Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998, the 20 million-selling double album also spawned a successful 1975 film of the same name–with DALTREY playing the title role–which re-underlined its place in the cultural firmament.

Commenting on the tour, Pete Townshend says ”Great to see Roger performing TOMMY with his band in 2011. I will be there in spirit and Roger has my complete and most loving support. Roger is touring his unique concert version of TOMMY using his faithful presentation of the original work as the backbone for a set of wider material. It is wonderful to hear the way Roger and his new band re-interpret the old Who songs.”

Throughout this tour, songs such as “Pinball Wizard,” “The Acid Queen,” “I’m Free,” “See Me, Feel Me” and “We’re Not Gonna Take It” promise to transport attendees into the world of this classic album with shuddering intensity and poetic power.

When DALTREY and his band performed TOMMY at the Royal Albert Hall, The Independent called the show “a faithful reading… The stand-outs, ‘I’m Free,’ ‘See Me, Feel Me’ and the anthemic climax of ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ are rousing.” Afterwards the Who blogosphere was alight with comments from long standing fans lucky enough to see the show. These included comments like ”Roger nailed Tommy” and ”Last night’s concert was the best I’ve ever seen – what a great band!”

Roger describes the show and visuals as ”A Tommy Show for today’s audience from a different perspective.”

“TOMMY, an album that tells a story about a “deaf, dumb, and blind boy” who becomes the leader of a messianic movement, will always be seen as a turning point for the band,” adds DALTREY. “Within it, I found the new voice of The Who and the band found its stride in making that music, adjusting it, using all that knowledge that we had from jazz and the blues into making it work in a rock way.”

Okay, now to get to the UK…there’s always something.

he NFL Draft kicks off today.

While the lockout has taken some of the fun out of the event, there’s still plenty of intrigue. There’s no clear-cut, number-one talent. And, because there hasn’t been a free agency period, teams might be changing their drafting strategy in order to fill holes on their roster.

At the end of the day, though, it’s all still a crapshoot. Nobody knows how these college kids are going to respond when thrown into competition against the biggest, fastest football players on the planet. There will be busts and flameouts.

Here’s a rundown of some of the biggest NFL Draft busts in history:

5. Tony Mandarich – Selected with the number two pick by the Green Bay Packers (ahead of Barry Sanders and Deion Sanders), he seemed to deflate after coming out of college, dropping almost 30 pounds, probably because he was rocking the steroids in college.

4. Pacman Jones – Good player, awful person. After repeated incidents off the field, he was suspended for a year. He came back and promptly got into more trouble for attacking the bodyguard that was supposed to keep an eye on him.

3. JaMarcus Russell – The number one pick in 2007, JaMarcus held out the entire preseason, eventually getting a $68-million-dollar contract from the Raiders. He gained 35 pounds of fat and eventually got busted for possessing codeine cough syrup, or “purple drank.”

2. Brian Bosworth – After leaving Oklahoma University with an ungodly amount of hype, he ended up wallowing in the NFL, getting only four sacks in three years.

1. Ryan Leaf – Leaf is almost universally considered the biggest draft bust in NFL history. Picked behind Peyton Manning, Leaf lasted four years in the league compiling a miserable 50.0 QB rating and bouncing between practice squads and bench jobs for four teams over five years.

WHAT HIS FACEBOOK PAGE SAYS ABOUT HIM

Facebook is like our unique social resume — it paints a true picture of our personalities. Interested in a guy? Here’s what to look for in his profile:

• His profile photo. A guy posing with his car, his guitar or his sports team is either totally into his hobby or wants girls to think he is. A pic with a pet shows he’s caring.

• His “About me” section. If it’s way long, you gotta wonder why he’s willing to put so much about himself out there. Will he share way too much of your relationship details?

• His status updates. A guy who can’t go 10 minutes without a status update either has OCD, way too much time on his hands or an inflated sense of self-importance.

• His status content. If he spends a ton of time playing Farmville, he probably doesn’t have much going on in the real world or can’t handle face-to-face social situations.

• His friends. A guy with 1,000 friends is probably driven by ego. If he needs to know what everyone is up to all the time, he’s probably bored or unsatisfied with his own life.

• His requests. If he goes around asking people to be a “fan” of him, he either has a huge ego or is so insecure he needs constant reminders that people like him.

It seems that everyone who has an iPhone, loves it, but would you still love your Apple smart phone if you knew it was secretly tracking your every move?

Researchers announced yesterday that they’ve discovered what looks like secret files on iPhones that track users locations and store it on the phone without the user’s permission.

It’s a mystery why Apple would be collection such information and the pair that made the discovery said there’s no evidence that the information is being sent to Apple or anyone else. Still, there is reason for concern. The data is not encrypted so anyone with access to your iPhone, or the computer you use to back it up, can grab that information and discover a person’s travel patterns.

HOW TO GET TO THE BATHROOM

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go — and when the nearest bathroom happens to be in a restaurant, ya gotta do some quick thinking.

Many restaurants won’t let you just use their bathroom if you’re not a paying customer, so you need to do something to get past the host or hostess at the door.

Here are 10 ways to get into a restaurant bathroom without having to pay for food:

1. Claim to have eaten there earlier and possibly misplaced your pen in the bathroom.
2. Say you are with the city and you need to do a quick bathroom inspection because they will be working on the pipes for the street later that week.
3. Just run for it.
4. Come in speaking a fake language and when they tell you “no,” play stupid and mumble something.
5. Threaten to pee on the floor in front of all their customers.
6. Act insane so they are scared to say no.
7. Say you are with a group already there, start walking towards them, wave to them and then beeline straight for the bathroom.
8. Pretend you’re blind.
9. Pretend you’re deaf.
10. Ask for a table for one, get seated, look at the menu for 30 seconds, put it down, go to the bathroom and then leave.

If I hadn’t watched Jon Stewart and the evening news, I would have naturally assumed that today was the dreaded Tax Day. But they moved the line this year and for some reason it’s a “holiday” and you don’t have to submit your taxes until Monday, April 18th. I can just hear the procrastinators rejoycing right at this very moment.

Tomorrow, April 16th, is Record Store Day, so it’s a great time to go to visit Music Millennium. Here’s just a taste of what will be available:
Bruce Springsteen: a two-song live 10-inch of “Gotta Get That Feeling” and “Racing in the Street (‘78).”
Queen: an unreleased version of their debut single, “Keep Yourself Alive,” backed with “Son and Daughter” on seven-inch vinyl.
Eric Clapton: Unplugged on two vinyl LPs; a seven-inch single of Derek and the Dominos’ “Got to Get Better in a Little While” with newly finished vocals by Bobby Whitlock, backed with “Layla”; and a seven-inch single of “Lonely Years” backed with “Bernard Jenkins” by John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers With Eric Clapton.
Jimi Hendrix: a seven-inch single on vinyl and CD of “Fire” backed with “Touch You” and an unreleased track.
The Doors: a seven-inch vinyl single containing the original stereo single of “Riders on the Storm” paired with a previously unreleased mono mix and packaged in one of three picture sleeves originally used for international release. AC/DC: a seven-inch vinyl single of “Shoot to Thrill” and “War Machine” from their forthcoming concert DVD, Live at River Plate.

And Ozzy Osbourne, the Record Store Day Ambassador will release a 7″ vinyl single of “Flying High Again” with a live version of “I Don’t Know” on the B-side, along with full-length vinyl versions of the newly expanded 30th anniversary editions of his Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman albums.

So relax this weekend, knowing that you have until Monday to submit your taxes, go get yourself some great music, and wait for the sun to arrive.

TYPES OF DRUNKS

It’s Friday, so you’re probably counting down the hours until you can storm the bars or show up at the weekend’s first party.

The booze will be flowing, which means the drunks will be coming out to either haunt you – or entertain you.

Here’s a rundown of some types of drunks you might see:

The Train Wreck – His mission is to get completely bombed. He’ll either end up passed out or puking on the bathroom floor. Or both.

The Happy Drunk – This guy instantly becomes everybody’s friend at the bar. If you want to drink on the cheap while you’re out, seek out the Happy Drunk. He’ll be more than willing to buy you 15 beers.

The Drama Queen – You can hear these drunks a mile away before you actually see them. They whine or cry when they’ve had more than they can handle. If this is your buddy, put him in a cab and get him out of there.

The Man Whore – The more he drinks, the more desperate he gets. By the end of the night, he will be hitting on ANYONE with a pulse.

Drummer for the E Street Band is celebrating a birthday today! Love this video! Enjoy!

I like the acoustic version of the song and all, but there’s nothing like the electric version.  SO, I’m thinking that next time Clapton tours, it needs to be with the Allman Brothers.  Check out this video!
