Jeff Porcaro was the drummer for Toto. He came from a musical family, Joe Porcaro,his father, was an in demand session percussionist.
His brother Steve played keyboard and sang in the original line up of Toto.

Jeff was a very innovative drummer, although he was not my favorite. John Bonham was. I actually bought Jeff's design, a rack system, and played it for two years. I think Pearl made it. He died of a heart attack at age 38. Salude, Jeff.

Whatever happened to David Keith? Brubaker, Firestarter, and Lords of Discipline were all good movies, and Keith made you believe the characters he played in them. He fell off of my radar after "Lords" and I didn't notice him again until U571. He had a small supporting part in it, but he proved to me again what a good actor he is.

Maybe he pissed the Hollywood players off and he was blackballed like Elliot Gould. Maybe I just missed him. Who knows. The guy is underrated in my opinion. He is surely a better actor than Thomas Haden Church and that guy is working again.

Brave Sir Georgie ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When Vietnam reared it's ugly head,
he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir George turned about
and gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet,
he beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the brave, Sir Georgie.

Like anything is going to change in September. General Yes Man is going to give just enough good news about how the surge has worked to allow the chimp in chief to go out and say that we are making progress. I want to believe that even the idiots who support the Bush regime unconditionally, are finding it hard to defend the "making progress" arguement, since we have made progress now for almost four years, yet we are in worse shape. I doubt it though. Up can be down as long as W says it. These sycophants will never question their leader. Good little moonies.

September will only bring another round of "support the troops", "give it time to work", and "listening to the generals in the field" type rhetoric from the neo-cons and their zombies. Any military leader that suggests otherwise will retire to spend more time with their family. If you believe the occupation of Iraq has made us safer, I'd like to know what color the sky is in your world.

Additionally, September is Uber-Patriotic month. 9/11 will be on the tip of all the chickenhawk tounges. The crowd who will buy that shit has definitely gotten smaller, but the media will still follow their corporate lead and report sympathetically to the Bush crime family.

Oil,OIL,oyell,and Oyle. Until we legally steal the oil, we will watch people die. We will also watch the decider lie about it. God Bless America? God is obviously an asshole.
