"I understand you want to make finance entertaining, but it's not a f*ckin game." (parts 1 2 3) After trading blows over the last couple weeks, CNBC's Mad Money host Jim Cramer appeared opposite Jon Stewart as a guest on The Daily Show. While Cramer worked to keep his poise during the awkward exchange, the evisceration may call to mind Jon's appearance on Crossfire.

"This was a symbolic killing," Adkisson wrote. "Who I wanted to kill was every Democrat in the Senate and House, the 100 people in Bernard Goldberg's book. I'd like to kill everyone in the mainstream media. But I knew these people were inaccessible to me. Today, Jim D. Adkisson pled guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and six of attempted murder. Mr. Goldberg's forums return no results for "Adkisson" or "Tenneesee Valley Church."

Had Jim Morrison survived, he would be turning 65 years old today. Morrison, (previously mentioned on the blue) lead singer of The Doors, was born December 8, 1943 in Melbourne, Florida and died under somewhat contested circumstances on July 3, 1971 in Paris, France, where he is interred at Pere Lachaise Cemetery. He perished at 27, one of the more celebrated members of a posthumous club of influential musicians who failed to live to see twenty-eight. (Curiously, Morrison had in fact written a poem about Brian Jones, one of the earliest members, who predeceased him by two years to the day) After his death, the band soldiered on, releasing two more albums as a trio, before breaking up and periodically fitfully reuniting. After a decade or so of relative inactivity, a well-known 1991 film revived interest in the band. Reunions have been marked by duelling lawsuits, and such misadventures as star drummers bowing out after bicycle accidents and singers leaving to reform their old bands. For those who enjoy comparing and contrasting, a typical Doors song, with Morrison, without Morrison, and with the most prominent replacement.

Veteran sportscaster Jim McKay dies. The host of ABC's Wide World of Sports for forty years, Jim also called the 1980 Miracle on Ice. However, he will probably be best remembered for being thrust into the role of news journalist during the 1972 Munich Games.

Will Rigby recounts meeting some pre-indie rock heroes.

celerystick — Fri, 02 May 2008 08:31:52 -0800

A founding father of DIY indie rock, Will Rigby recounts the pilgrimages to locate underground rock legends Alex Chilton, (during his wry Americana deconstructo anarchy phase), and the 'McCartney' to Chilton's Big Star 'Lennon', the Brydsian Chris Bell. Blogs on bands may not seem to rate but cats with these sensibilities, unlike today, seemed incredibly uncommon then . Also mentioned, the Dbs, Little Diesel, and Mitch Easter. Free Mp3s of the rare 45s included.

As for the tiny democracy called Israel, they can have this for their future. Follow the dough (and oil)

Brett Meisner, Rock 'n' Roll badboy

"Brett Meisner has helped to put the 'rock' back into 'rock and roll' forever!" said Kurt Loder in 2003. Given Meisner's impact as a music critic and rock 'n' roll badboy, this is something of an understatement...

Jim Abbott probably shouldn't have been a professional athlete. Born without a right hand, he defied the odds and grew up to be a major league pitcher. In 1991 he won 18 games for the Angels while posting a 2.89 ERA, in 1992 he pitched a no-hitter against Cleveland, and in 23 career at-bats, he amazingly got two hits (while playing for the Brewers). But Abbott (now a motivational speaker) wasn't the first handicapped professional baseball player. Pete Gray lost his entire right arm in a childhood truck accident and, due to the shortage of major league players during WWII, became an outfielder with the St. Louis Browns. His fielding, naturally, was unorthodox: After catching a fly ball, Gray would tuck his thinly padded glove under his stump, roll the ball across his chest, and throw, all in one fluid motion. But if those guys don't impress you, then what about Bert Shepard, who had his right leg amputated after his fighter plane crashed in Germany? The gutsy left-hander from Dana, Indiana taught himself to walk and then to pitch with an artificial leg -- all within the confines of a POW camp in Germany. The length of his major league career consisted of pitching five innings in one game for the Washington Senators. Then of course there was Lou Brissie, the only survivor of his WWII infantry unit, which was wiped out in battle. An exploding shell shattered Brissie's left leg, causing him to wear a brace during his pitching career. The 6'4" southpaw went 16-11 in 1949 for the Athletics and helped himself by batting .267. So...who's your favorite handicapped ballplayer? Eddie Gaedel?
