Met Eddie Vedder Last Night!

Not as cool as I thought it would have gone down.  We got in a fist fight over spilled beer.  No, just kidding, but it really could have been better.  He came into Stanley's in Lincoln Park after a great show at the Chicago Theater.  I happened to be standing at the side door he came in and shook his hand and talked for a brief second before he went downstairs to a private party with the biggest asshole in the world, Chris Chelios.  That's right, I'm calling out my childhood favortie hockey player for being a deuchebag.  Just because you played hoceky in this city 500 years ago, doesn't mean you should act like you own it.  After all, when I was 17 I had your bitch mom and sister serve me lunch.  What kind of dick plays pro sports and makes there mom and sister serve food at his shitty chili  bar.  I wonder why it's closed.  Enough about piss chelios, he'll always be a redwing.

R.I.P. Ryan Dunn

Dunn and his passenger, Zac Hartwell were killed when his Porsche slammed into a tree in Chester County and burst into flames, police say

"Jackass" star Ryan Dunn was killed early Monday morning when his Porsche flew over a guardrail in West Goshen, Pa., slammed into a tree and burst into flames, according to local police.

Dunn's passenger -- who police have not identified -- was also killed.

Dunn, 34, was identified by his tattoos, according to a witness who was on the scene when the bodies were pulled from the wreckage.

The one-car accident happened on Route 322 around 2:30 a.m., according to Officer Geiger with West Goshen police. The 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 shot through about 40 yards of trees before it hit the last one and exploded into flames, according to police. The police press release (.PDF) reads, "Preliminary investigation revealed that speed may have been a contributing factor to the accident."

Dunn was last seen at Barnaby's of America in West Chester in the hours before the accident.

"Ryan didn't appear drunk before he left," Barnaby's manager told NBC Philadelphia. That manager said Dunn left the bar around 2 a.m.

Bam Margera's mom April was the first to publicly confirm the reality TV star's death. In an interview with NBC Philadelphia, April says she learned of the accident after getting a call from WMMR's Preston and Steve radio show. She shared the news with the show after speaking with police.

"He's just the sweetest guy you'd ever want to know and he would do anything for you," April Margara said. April and her husband Phil teared up as they spoke about Dunn saying they considered him a son.

"I know the entire 'Jackass' family is devastated and all of West Chester is devastated," she said.

April Margara also said Dunn was a fast driver and that she told him to slow down "everyday" following a bad accident he was involved in more than a decade ago.

"He drove too fast and I yelled at him all the time about that," she said.

Dunn was known primarily for his dangerous antics and practical jokes in MTV's "Jackass" series and movies with his long-time friend Bam Margera. He is a member of the CKY Crew with Margera. Dunn also co-hosted a show on the G4 network called "Proving Ground."

Bam Margera, who is currently in Phoenix, Ariz., has not spoken publicly about Dunn's death. His parents say he's devastated by the news.

Dunn's friend and former co-star Johnny Knoxville tweeted this statement:

"Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn. My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie. RIP Ryan, I love you buddy."

MTV also released this statement via Twitter regarding the death of Ryan Dunn:

"We're deeply saddened by the passing of a member of the MTV family, Ryan Dunn. Our hearts and thoughts are with his friends and family."

This picture was posted on Dunn's Tumblr about two hours before the accident took place. It has since been removed from his account.  Zac Hartwell, on Dunn's left was the passenger killed.

These pictures were taken at the scene of the accident

Sad news, but you hear it here first.

Glad I moved.

Now, down to business.  Happy Birthday Susan!  Today's blog will be on the topic of miss heard lyrics.  Please leave your favorite in the comment section.  Susan's is "cinnamon gum" instead of "You should've been gone".  This is one of my personal favorites.  Let's see if my followers can give me something better?


You should've been gone (Cinnamon gum)
Knowing how I made you feel
And I should've been gone
After all your words of steel
Oh I must have been a dreamer
(must have been a dreamer I know)
And I must've been someone else
(someone else)
And we should've been over
(over now)

Oh Sherrie
Our love holds on
Holds on
Oh Sherrie
Our love holds on
Holds on

Oh, I want to let go
You'll go on hurtin' me
You'd be better off alone
If I'm not who you'd thought I'd be

Oh, you know that there's a fever
(there's a fever I know)
Oh, that you'll never find nowhere else
(nowhere, nowhere else)
Can't you feel it burnin' on and on

Oh Sherrie
Our love holds on
Holds on
Oh Sherrie
Our love holds on

(guitar solo)

Oh Sherrie

But I should've been gone (Cinnamon gum)
Long ago, far away
Now I know you'd lie
You'll stay

Oh Sherrie
Our love holds on
Holds on
Oh Sherrie
Our love holds on
Holds on
Oh Sherrie
Our love holds on
Holds on

Hold on, ooh Sherrie

Woman fatally stabbed nearby her bar, apparently by son - Chicago Sun-Times

This bar has been frequented on Fridays after work by the author. I have met with the owner on several occasions at her bar. Most recently a few weeks ago. She mentioned the time she called a cab for me and asked if I was going to need another cab on this night. I told her I was leaving soon and would not.  Little did I know this was the last time I would see her, and thanfully probably the last time I'd have to go in this dive of a bar she owned. RIP Henryka.

If you can read the writing on the wall, it is eerily similar to the first comment ever made on this blog back on 9/25/10 by Mr. Mark Lush.  Amazing!
