Before we get to ANYTHING else today!

That was great game yesterday. Y'know?

It was great for me to see a golden boy like Tom Brady, who granted, is a fine quarterback... but, he has an offensive line that has kept his uniform clean all damned season. The Giant defense knocked him on his ass 18 times yesterday. He wasn't so golden all of the sudden, throwing passes wide and yelling at his receivers. Still.... he showed his toughness as he engineered a great drive to take the lead late in the game. I said at that point, "Y'know, it looks like the Patriots are gonna do it. But, either way, win or lose, this was a great Super Bowl."

And then... it got better.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ELI MANNING, MICHAEL STRAHAN, TOM COUGHLIN, DAVID TYREE, PLAXICO BURRESS, AMANI TOOMER and the entire Giants Team.

SUPER BOWL CHAMPS!

(Oh yeah, and after the game... Bill Belichick conducted himself like the really bad loser and poor sportsman he has a reputation for being. No class.)

Okay! Back to the music!!!!

BY THE WAY!!! I switched up the song I was gonna play at the end of this installment. I was originally gonna play "JesusLand". Instead, at the last minute I thought that Todd Snider's song would fit better. (I covered his track on my latest CD.)

Y'know... people sometimes use the term "struggling artist". But... I'M NOT STRUGGLING. Yeah, I'm financially poor a lot of the time. But I'm not "struggling". Struggling is a state of mind and an attitude.

Me?

I'm havin' a blast!

See you really, really soon I hope.
