Breaking Bad is another one of my favorite shows. The show is all about making choices and choosing one’s destiny. I love this show. I recorded the season finale and just watched it. I normally do not get into entertainment web sites, but I wanted to show my support for this show.
Courtney Cox in Dirt

I do not write about video entertainment. In fact I had to create a new category for this post. Currently I am watching a recorded Dirt episode and I realized that I really like Courtney Cox. I did not get into Friends that much but this show that she is executive producer of called Dirt is the best show that I have seen in a long time.
What I like about the show is that Courtney Cox plays this hard core magazine editor named Lucy Spiller. Lucy is bad-ass perky and cute. I also like the photographer Don Konkey played by Ian Hart. He is an schizophrenic artist with a camera that case for Lucy like a sister.
Austin City Limits End of Day Three

Rain Hebrew Rap - Matisyahu, Performance Art - Flaming Lips, Classic Rock - Tom Petty more rain and then more Tom Petty. What a day to end the festival. Here is my ACL Day 3 schedule. You can check out all of my cheesey camera phone photos at the Wormley Photo Archive.
The Flaming Lips by far impressed me the most on Day three of ACL. The lead singer placed himself inside a giant plastic sphere, walked off the stage, and rolled across the standing fans hands for several minutes as the band played. There were about 40 dancers on stage; half were dressed as Santa Clause and the other half were dresses as green faced female aliens. The crowd knew all the lyrics to their songs as this was a local Austin band.
K. T. Turnstall played an incredible set of music. She is a singer songwriter from
Scotland that used loopback technology live on stage in a few of her songs. She played guitar and rocked the crowd with her ballads of love and protest.
I did not hear the bands that I planned to hear with the exception of Tom Petty and Kathleen Edwards but I was plesantly surprised as usual by the selection of music that I did hear.

Here is my ACL Day 2 schedule. Well I finally saw one of my favorite bands, Los Lobos. 
I purchased their latest CD and got it autographed. I have a lot of Los Lobos music and I have been a fan since the early 1980’s, but I have never heard the band play live.
I also listened to a band called Murder By Death. This band played what I call teenage angst music. The electric cello player was a young girl with an intense playing style.
Phoenix was another band that was nice to hear play. The band was from France but they sang in English. The music was high tech rock with a European flare.
