Some random thoughts from my head to your eyes.
Cubs Craze- While I’ve always been more of a White Sox supporter than a Cubs fan, watching David Ross’ club this year has been lots of fun. I realized I’m just a fan of baseball and like seeing the game played well. That’s happening way more on the north side of Chicago than down on the south side. Sox fans, maybe next year.
CODY BELLINGER’S HOT BAT AND GLOVE IS ONE OF THE REASONS THE CUBS ARE CONTENDERS THIS YEAR.
HBO No. Last month in an effort to trim down my cable bill I put a deep six to subscribing to HBO. This is the first time I haven’t had that set of channels on my TV in 36 years. Guess what? I really don’t miss it! I mean how many times can you watch “Knocked Up” or “Doc Hollywood” in your lifetime? I will miss the monthly “Real Sports” show but can always re-up to HBO if I get the right deal from Comcast.
MISSING HBO CHANNELS? NOT SO FAR.
Stone Groove– I really like the new Rolling Stones single “Angry.” It’s their first original recording in 18 years and their new 12 song album “Hackney Diamonds” comes out next month. While I believe the concept of full album releases is outdated, “Angry” has a great guitar riff and Mick Jagger and the backing vocals bring this cut alive. It’s probably the band’s best single since tracks from the “Voo Doo Lounge” album which came out almost 30 years ago. By the way, the video featuring “Euphoria” hottie Sydney Sweeney is fun to watch. (Though I do wish she was wearing a seatbelt)

A hungry heart but an upset stomach- It’s a good thing Chicago concert fans got to see Bruce Springsteen rock Wrigley Field last month because the Boss has now pulled off the road due to illness. In a surprisingly open statement, Bruce announced he’s battling a peptic ulcer and needs to follow doctor’s orders to take a few weeks off from playing live. Earlier this year I remember reading that Springsteen was following a fitness regimen where he only ate one meal a day. I’m no doctor but I wonder if that strange food plan contributed to his ulcer issue.
SPRINGSTEEN TURNS 74 THIS MONTH AND IS RECUPERATING FROM A PEPTIC ULCER. HOPE HE’S BACK ON THE ROAD SOON.
Morons, your bus is leaving! I don’t want to dedicate a whole blog to these goofs but I’ve had enough seeing TV and online updates on the following twits:
Britney Spears cutting loose and slutty since news of a coming divorce came out. The more skin Britney reveals the more desperate she looks. (P.S. on B.S. – I’ve NEVER found her to be attractive. She tries WAY too hard to look hot)
Kevin Costner’s soon to be ex-wife whining that she could not raise her kids on $161,000 dollars a month. Bravo to Costner and his lawyers who got a judge to knock his monthly support down to a more sensible $63,000 a month. Maybe next time the monthly draw can be bumped down to $6,300 a month.
Kanye West has taken to parading his new wife around in tight, bizarre clothes that make her look like a shiny mannequin. I never thought Kanye would stoop to the point where ex-wife Kim Kardashian looks like the sane and normal one. However, that has happened.
Next blog– A tribute to Big John Howell.
