…Wanted to wish you a “rockin” weekend, and to thank everybody for the thoughtful cards and letters regarding the state of his hair.
The latest word is that after staging a rebellion and trying to escape from his skull, Axl’s hair has been recaptured, braided with a combination of ballistic Nylon and Kevlar strands and secured […]

What Bob Hath Wrought
May 14th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 11 Comments
According to the Associated Press, this month, forty-three years ago, Bob Dylan and company released what was, arguably, the first music video: D.A. Pennebaker’s storied London Savoy alleyway sixteen millimeter playback portrait of Bob droppin’ the cards. Of course that’s Allen Ginsberg back there, seemingly wearing a tallit.
And true to our spirit here at […]
He Was a Very Good Frank.
May 14th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 20 Comments
Died ten years ago today. As a singer, I feel I have some measly credential to say that he had a hell of a voice. I can’t vouch for whether he was a nice guy or a jerk, I never met the man. But I can tell you that a lot of horn […]

Dear Mr. Corbett:
Allow me to introduce myself. I’m actor/vegetable Nick Notcolli. I invite you to eat me. Remember, I’m part of your healthy diet, which consists entirely of you eating me. I hope you have a big appetite.

Dinner! Who’s Hungry for a Busnip?
May 13th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 13 Comments
Only because some of you seem to have a weak stomach regarding our penchant for cross-celebrity mutations, I present the American Purple-top “Gary” Busnip hybrid (Corbett cultivar). With a stronger, more pungent taste than other varieties, the Busnip is commonly baked, occasionally steamed , but perhaps most popular when smashed, spiked with good-quality vodka, […]

Owatonna, MN

First of all, it’s free. There’s a great beer garden, rides for the kiddies, dirt-track racing and tractor pulls in the grandstand. Lots of animals of course, with daily pig races. And if the world’s largest steer isn’t enough, there’s also watermelon seed spitting, a women’s nail-driving contest, […]

Genuine Hidden-Camera Video of My First Date, Ever.
April 6th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 14 Comments
Of course it’s me on the left. And yes, “Desperado” was our song. The relationship didn’t last; I can’t be sure, but I think she wanted to hurt me.

Vincent Gallo…

…Wants you to know that he doesn’t like you very much at all. It’s difficult for him not to like you, but when his energy is relentlessly devoted to loving himself, well, there’s really nothing left for you, is there? No, sorry.
Vincent knows and understands this. Actually he resents this. In fact, […]

I’m Worried About Bill.
March 26th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 20 Comments
Folks, please join me in my concern for fellow Riffer Bill Corbett. A series of seemingly unrelated events has been strung together by his latest bizarre missive renouncing, of all things, bacon.
It started as a lark, a curiosity really; last Saturday morning when I was preparing to cook some lovely bacon, our pup Boomer began […]

…Would like to wish us all a Happy St. Patrick’s Day, but he’s a little late ’cause he was out with the lads on Monday night, and the evening got away from him, and, well, he slept right through Saint Paddy’s. Again. Damn. He’d got all done up for it and everything. He […]

Arthur C. Clarke: 1917-2008
March 19th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 19 Comments
The first “grown-up” book I remember picking up and reading cover to cover on my own was Arthur C. Clarke’s “The Exploration of Space.” it had a profound influence on me in that it converted all the gobbledygook I saw on Saturday Morning serials and prompted me to turn my attention to the Mercury and […]

Arranmore - a Shameless Plug
March 17th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 13 Comments
First I post a self-serving review, now I post a plug. But tis one’s for a good cause.
Saint Paddy’s Day is over and the Amateur Irish have gone home to pounding skulls believing that Guinness is Good For You, which it is, but not remembering that Too Much Guinness is Bad for Anybody. In […]
