Ben Kweller was playing at Austin City Limits and had a nose bleed. A woman from the audience handed him something, he stuck it up his nose, said, "Thanks for the tampon" and finished the concert. Yep, it was one. Show must go on! Oh hell, it was even better than that!!

Fraggle Rock was the last show I know of to help children be individuals(okay i do love me some P&F)... to quote Cotterpin: "I don't care what they say cuz I know where to find my way it won't be the way they said to go" of course the 8-inch Red Fraggle tattoo on my leg kind of outs my passion. without doubt you are one of my heroes… but Marjory deserves more than being known as the Trash Heap…. she was the All-Knowing Trash Heap!

Fraggle Rock was the last show I know of to help children be individuals(okay i do love me some P&F)… to quote Cotterpin:

“I don’t care what they say
cuz I know where to find my way
it won’t be the way they said to go”

of course the 8-inch Red Fraggle tattoo on my leg kind of outs my passion.

Jerry Nelson, who performed Gobo, Pa Gorg, the Trash Heap and others, just recently passed and we'll be celebrating him next week at the Pilot Tavern here in Toronto, which was the favoured haunt of cast and crew during the shoot. To know our work continues to enthrall young and old means so much.  The vision behind the show lives on - and Ben Folds Five rocks.
