From the sublime to . . .

After John Lodge and Edgar Meyer, next up on the hit interview parade may be Bret Michaels, Celebrity Apprentice winner and remnant of the hair-band excesses of the 80s. If not, then maybe Meat Loaf or Henry Winkler, all appearing at the Kewadin Festival July 22-24 in Sault Ste. Marie.

In older cultural news, it's been a Lord of the Rings-athon, as I've watched all three LOTR movies. The scene in The Two Towers where Gandalf leaders the Riders of Rohan down the hill to the rescue still takes my breath away. Let's hear it for DVDs and flat screen TVs. Now for Blu-ray . . .

Last, quick listen to the new Incognito. Much more fun to come upon repeated listens, no doubt, but the opening cover of the Boz Scaggs classic "Lowdown" featuring Chaka Khan is a treat.
