Great show on the podcast today. Playin' stuff from around the Podsafe Music Network and from a beautiful friend and colleague of mine. Also settin' you guys up for tomorrow's "Wednesday Wake-Up Call". I'd love it if you were a part of the show tomorrow.

Be heard.

Today's musical guests are: Beth Thornley, Tom Waits and Cassandra Kubinski. (As always, click on their photos to visit their websites, find out about them, where they're playing and how to get more of their music.)

. .

Okay, now... before I go any further. Y'know, I haven't sent out the mass-email about the concert at Merkin Hall yet. So right now, you might wanna make sure you get the best seats available for the annual, traditional, we-always-have-a-blast, YEAR-END CONCERT at Merkin Concert Hall on December 6th. (Tickets went on sale last week!)

Even though the show sold out last year, a lot of people told me that they couldn't attend because it was so damned close to the holidays. So, this year the show is earlier... on Wednesday, December 6th. (I'll be sending out that email about it this week. So, if you wanna be among the first to get the best seats, go ahead and follow this link. You can get tickets every day this week!)

If it's easier, you can just call the box office number right now:

212-501-3330

Hey, by the way... I was talking to Bernadette Peters last night about my song from this summer, "Tom Cruise Scares Me". (Yeah, no shit. Oh... paparrazzi!) Just kidding. I was invited to attend a dinner for the Central Park Mounted Auxillery last night by a really great guy from "The Hill", Mark Elkins.

It was a cool affair. I spoke at great length with the man who has been running Central Park since 1998, Doug Blonsky. And, Ms. Peters is a doll. Mark Elkins sent me these photos. I'll tell you more about that whole soiree on Thursday's ILTC and in Thursday's update.

Cool. I lead a very strange life.

Okay, if you wanna download that song that's part of the subject of tomorrow's show... the song about one of the greatest engines of human conflict, misery and division ever devised, click on this photo! It's "The Religion Song" and it's brand new.

But, y'see... then you gotta listen to today's ILTC and call the number to be heard.

Cool.

Okay... it's time to update:

GEORGE W. BUSH'S TRAGIC NUMBER

Here at The Guitar Man website, I'm posting George W. Bush's "Tragic Number". That's the number of American fatalities in wholly unAmerican and immoral Iraq War until George W. Bush is directly responsible for the equal number of people killed by Osama Bin Laden in the World Trade Center.

If YOU voted for him and continue to support his war, I hope you will wake up soon. At the time I posted this, the number stands at 44. (Of course, more Americans and Iraqis have probably died while you're reading this.)

Harsh?

You betcha!

Live with it. Or, wake up! It's not too late. (Well, it's too late for those who are dead or dying. But, it's not too late for you. As John Lennon said, "I hope someday you will join us.")

By the way, you don't only hafta call if you wanna make a comment. you can also call if you wanna be a part of this marvelous mess in any way... have anything to say about the things you read here or hear on ILTC, or have any musical requests.... or, just wanna say "Hey".

If you've been comin' around for a while, thanks for always showing up... here and in the park. And if you're brand new here, take a look around. There's a lot of cool stuff on this site. And, you can go back and listen through a whole bunch of the previous Podcasts. Actually... you can go back and listen to all of them if you have the time.

You can also email me about anything you want by clicking on that "Contact" button over there. I can't answer all the email I get these days. But I promise I read every single one.

Thanks again.
