I just got a video camera, and the first project I would like to do is a family history. I'm going to see my parents this weekend (76 and 80 y.o.). What are some creative and interesting questions to ask to get them started talking?

Bruce Springsteen, 1973.
Stevie Ray Vaughan, 1984.
Jimi Hendrix, 1968.
King Crimson, 1969.
Warren Zevon, 1982.
Dio, 1984.
The Band, 1974.
Santana, 1975.
Elton John, 1970.
The Rolling Stones, 1978. For classic rock fans it's a drink from the firehose at
Wolfgang's Concert Vault, the web archive of rock promoter Wolfgang Grajonca, better known as
Bill Graham. If you want to download any of these shows it'll cost you ("
Based upon all the information that is available to us, we believe that performers can earn between four and six times more from Wolfgang's Vault per download than they currently receive from their record companies"), but you can stream all of them at no charge. (

Abraham Lincoln, duelist?
Hamilton and Burr were not the only prominent
duelists in US history.
In the early morning hours of September 22, 1842, a young Abraham Lincoln crossed the Mississippi River at Alton, IL on his way to a small island where he would engage in mortal combat with a political adversary. Lincoln had used his sarcastic wit to write anonymous letters to the editor lampooning a political rival, James Shields. Some of his friends joined in and perhaps went a little too far, including suggestions of Shields' inadequacies with the ladies. One of these friends included Lincoln's future wife, Mary Todd. Shields demanded a duel and Lincoln defined the parameters of the duel - broadswords in a pit.

A Year in Comics
I'm drawing a page of comics once a day for the rest of the year. Most of them so far are autobiographical—things that have happened to me on that particular day. They're somewhat crude, but the quality is guaranteed to improve. They're also viewable as
this Flickr set.
Comics are usually posted late in the day, because I don't manage my time well.
