Oh wow, does this mean they're going to sign LeBron now?

One of my favorite Buddy Holly covers. Born 78 years ago today.

Grand Funk Railroad - the ultimate American power trio. No light show, no pyrotechnics, just pure rock and roll. In 1971 they sold out at a show Shea Stadium faster than The Beatles did. The show was nearly stopped on several occasions, as the stadium was shaking from the frenzied fans. After the show, Shea Stadium…

Even I think there've been too many kicking stories today.

So how does that make him any different than anyone else who inhabits that stadium?

It would be Cowboy Song, right?

Welp, it's my turn to work the weekend, which kinda sucks since it's Week 1, but the Giants don't play until Monday night, so I'm not missing anything too important (besides tracking fantasy).

My neighborhood is home to several families of Florida sandhill cranes. Sandhill cranes stand about five feet tall, have a seven foot wingspan, have a guttural call that can be heard for three miles, and mate for life. They also like to stand around for hours at a time, and are generally ornery as fuck.

My brother did the same thing a year or two ago, though his story ending is slightly different, maybe more traumatic. Same set up, he went over to our mom's house to mow the back 1/2 acre which hadn't been mowed in months and was knee high. He ran over a nest of 4 or 5 baby bunnies, most of them were torn to…

I am also an animal murderer. I may have shared this in an old DU!AN (remember those?), but:

I had put off mowing the law for a few weeks (I am around 16 years old at this time). I go to mow a particularly thick patch of grass when the mower makes this awful gargling noise and grinded to a halt.

My fiancé and I were spearing fish in the Bahamas last Thursday. She went down about 30 feet and speared a nice snapper, but was too tired to bring the fish up herself. So she came to the surface and I went down to get the fish. I brought the fish up and handed her the spear with the fish on it. As she was swimming…

Was in my teenage basement bedroom and my cat was in the window watching the world go by, as indoor cats tend to do. He started hissing and fighting with something through the screen. I went up to the screen and shooed whatever cat had wandered into our yard away. Our cat began hissing and growling again, so I got…

Here's a song originally done by The Impressions. Covered by the legendary Jeff Beck and the soulful Joss Stone.

I'm posting another Derek Trucks clip, this one from 1993 when he was 13 years old. A couple notes of interest. His fingers were too small to use a bottle slide, so he put a rubber band around his finger so it would fit. He's also wearing a "Skydog" T-shirt, which was the nickname of his hero, Duane Allman. Wilson…

Well, technically only OTL sat down with Snyder. Dan remained standing.

For those into guitar playing, check out Derek Trucks at 3:50. Derek (named after Derek and the Dominos) is the nephew of Allman Brothers drum player Butch Trucks. Derek's wife, Susan Tedeschi, is also in the video and she is a very talented blues singer. Derek has a very stoic style and he rarely even smiles on…

Day 12 is also our 42nd anniversary. About 17 to 18 months ago I posted this thing on Jezebel that may give y'all an idea how I feel about Mrs. Erg.

I don't see Biz Markie on this list so I'll just go ahead and ascribe 100s across the board.

Ronnie Van Zant - the Rock and Roll redneck. Always played barefoot so he could feel the heat of the stage.
