I'm glad I didn't win THAT lottery

[kz_blogorambling]

No no, not the Shirley Jackson story....but I put in for Led Zeppelin tickets. Had we won the lottery that allowed fans to buy tickets, I would have arranged child care and vacation days, bought plane tickets to London, and booked a hotel. It would have been a big pain in the butt, and expensive, but we woulda done it.

Well, Jimmy Page fractured a finger and they've postponed the whole freaking thing.

I'll bet there are some MISERABLE fans out there looking at their itineraries in utter dismay.

Are they digging up Bonzo?

They've got Bonzo, Jr on the job.

A talented substitute.

I'm surprised that Robert Plant has time for this, what with his new album with Allison Krauss.

How funny--I'm listening to that right now!

Are you? Is it good? I was at Target on Tuesday, and they had sold out. I'm planning on trying out Amazon's store this weekend and downloading it from there.

This is my first listen--I bought it last weekend but hadn't gotten around to opening the thing. I heard some clips on NPR and actually anticipated not liking it. So far, so good, though. It's on pretty low so I'm not paying terribly close attention, but I'm pleased so far.

One of the sattelite channels has been playing Gone, Gone, Gone and while I'm not wild about it, finding out it's critically reviewed well intrigues me.

Yes! That's my least favorite song on here, but the one that is getting the most airplay (well, in clip form) when it's being reviewed.

I was always freaked out that Shirley Jackson picked *my* birthday for the lottery date!
