Buffett Drug Bust |
earvolution.com reports: Last week the tabloids
jumped on the story coming out of France that Jimmy Buffett had pills seized
from his luggage by French authorities when he landed there on his way
St. Tropez. According to Page Six and local reports, Buffet was detained,
but not arrested, and allowed to go free after coughing up a minimal fine.

Raving Babs |
E! reports: Barbara Streisand, the legendary
singer--and just-as-legendary Democratic supporter--drew some jeers from
a sold-out Madison Square Garden crowd Monday night after wedging a Bush-bashing
political skit in between numbers at her concert. The erstwhile Funny Girl
star became targeted by a heckler more than halfway through the show--for
which concertgoers had to pay upwards of $250--after bringing Steve Bridges,
a President George W. Bush impersonator, up on stage. Some fans began to
tire of the twosome's routine, with one man going so far as to shout, "What
is this, a fundraiser?"
Apparently, Babs can dish it out, but she
can't take it. "Why don't you shut the f--- up?" she shouted back to the
delight of her more sycophantic fans. "If you can't take a joke, why don't
you leave and get your money back." [the lesson here is to stick the music,
people don't pay to hear your politics - more at the full story link]

of Like Spitting Split |
punkbands reports: Indie/Punk act Kind of
Like Spitting have decided to throw in the towel after ten years. You can
read a personal statement from frontman Ben Barnett on the band's Myspace
Page. [Here is part of it] I just wanted to let you know that all the shows
planned for november are cancelled. I don't have any plans to make a record
or continue this project.
My personal life has become too intense
to continue writing songs that blame others for my issues.Singing these
songs and touring my life into the ground has left me lost and directionless
in my life. I have spent ten years of my life getting high and blaming
others for my history and inability to control my demons. I want to reach
a better place. I want to move FORWARD.
