I'm getting old folks - nothing I can do about it - it's just happening.
Next year will be my 20 year High School reunion! Where did those 20 years go??
Luckily, I have stayed in touch with a few friends from Torrey Pines High School in Del Mar, CA, where I graduated in 1987.
One of those friends is my buddy Chris, who now lives near Los Angeles and works for Mickey Mouse.
Chris is perhaps the most creatively talented person I have ever known - and right now he's using a small part of his creative energy to build an eclectic blog site you can access by clicking Here.
It's a cool website highlighting interesting mixes of music created by Chris and old albums he's finding online and making available via the new net sharing downloading sites.
Chris was (and probably stil is) a rapid Old School, Kirk & Spock Star Trek fan, so I found this video online and I want to share it with him and all of you: Click Here (this link is for Quick Time)
go Here if you don't have QT and select the Jay Leno performance from Oct 22nd.
A digression: I can safely say I am the biggest Joe Jackson fan in Japan. Well, there are some extreme Japanese fans out there, so maybe I can safely say I am the biggest gaijin Joe Jackson fan in Japan. He was and still is an incredible musician and songwriter, a great live performer, and he is everything that was cool in the 80s for me.
I must say as well that one of the best CDs I've bought in the past few years has been William Shatner's album entitled "Has Been."
It's a collaboration with Ben Folds and features some interesting guest stars, and I've been playing it a lot lately - iTunes also has a live version of the song "It Hasn't Happened Yet" that you can download for $1 that is even better than the version on the CD.
So check out Chris' site and click on the links for some cool music and videos.
What do you think you'll be doing when your 20year reunion comes up? Will you go?

Thanks for the shout out. Speaking of Shatner:
The Roast of William Shatner airs tonight on Comedy Central. Wow. This is it. The show of all award/celeb dedication shows.
Also, I was lucky enough to sit next to Shatner in a sushi place not too long ago. Man he's a big guy. And he was yelling a lot at his agent and smelled of strong cologne. Glas I didn't get fish in his toupee.
