Bob Dylan Makes A Switch - Freeman Out, Sexton Back In

Just read this note on the Continental Club's "Continental Confidential" weekly newsletter:

Austin guitarist Charlie Sexton was offered his old job back in Bob Dylan's band, replacing another Texas guitar great, Denny Freeman. Freeman may not have seen the last of Dylan, since Dylan himself said that he may be calling him back. I'm sure Charlie is pleased to be back with Dylan, and Denny says "Well at least it's Charlie."

Well, it's like I always say, no band lasts forever.

So...

What does this mean for the newly reformed ARC Angels? Will we EVER get that new CD now?

Will Denny Freeman head back to Dallas? Will we get to see him start playing more gigs in the DFW area?

Stay tuned folks.

IS IT REALLY ABOUT HEALTH CARE? IN OTHER WORDS THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ARE ANNOYING THOSE OF US WHO DO

Politics are important. Many, many brave men and women have given thier lives so that you and I can exercise our freedom of choice daily in the USA.

So, please, before you utter one word about the Healthcare Reform bill, for the love of God, read it first.

Sometimes You Just Need A Laugh

Amanda, the World Traveler, Part 3

Amanda comes home Thursday. But of course my little hard rocker couldn't leave London without visiting the original Hard Rock Cafe - in her KNON t-shirt, of course!

Have to admit, we're both hugely into punk!

That's a guitar from the Red Hot Chili Peppers she's holding. Don't EVEN want to know how she got her hands on it!

Her idol, Billy Idol!

Amanda with a guitar from Bob Dylan.

I took her to her first Hard Rock when she was not quite a month old, so the Hard Rock feels like home! First stop when she come home - the new Hard Rock Cafe in Dallas!
