		<description><![CDATA[I am sad today. A very dear man died over the weekend. He was a friend to the world of classical music, he was a reknowned expert and dealer of rare antique violins (Stradivarians &#038; Guarneris) and stringed instruments. He loved life. He loved rock n roll. He loved my singing. We had great affection [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Weird day today. A friend, a good friend who I&#8217;ve known for decades expressed &#8220;worry&#8221; that I might drop dead from being fat. Actually she said: &#8220;I worry about you&#8221; and then proceeded to tell me that another friend wanted to do an &#8220;intervention&#8221; which I later found out was not true. It was handled [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am offended by the words of people who are so cavalier about the death of the great Whitney Houston. Statements like: &#8220;waste of talent,&#8221; &#8220;I don&#8217;t feel sorry for her&#8221; and &#8220;she blew it&#8221; shock and sicken me.

Good news: I was asked again to join the cast of Tony Fitzpatrick&#8217;s final installment of the trilogy of his one man shows at Steppenwolfe Garage.
