Here's a three-minute condensattion of "My Left Thumb" using Slammin' John's poem "Quadriplegic I Am" and some of his musical improvisations. I put this together for a couple of contests. Please go to filmaka.com, register and vote for us in the "What On Earth" contest. There are two $10,000 cash prizes at stake, and the drinks are on me if we win.....

Stumbled on this video at YouTube.com and it brought back a flood of memories. My crew used to go to J. Geils Band concerts at least twice a year for several years. They were the party band of all time as far as we were concerned. They'd play Hara Arena in Dayton and the Coliseum in Cincinnati every year. I've seen them a total of seven times, I think, and I owe a partial hearing loss in my left ear to the last show of theirs I saw in Tampa, Fla., when I was living there.
On the lickin' stick, Mister Magic Dick. Get down to it!
Magic Dick is coming to the Southgate House on Jan. 31!!!!
UPDATE: Just found this site with a bunch of J. Geils Band videos and such.
New Bob Dylan video premiered today on Slate.com:
It's got a lot of cool archival stuff in it, vintage film going all the way to "Don't Look Back."
