1. Brothers, Brothers, Brothers...
Bad, Bad Man
It ended last weekend but here's some highlights from the Allmans' annual March Madness run at the Beacon.. as per usual, lots of guests sitting in.. But NOT as usual, they broke out some new tunes... madness indeed!
New Tune!
ABB Cover Neil Young
Guitars R Us (with the guitarist from the Meters, and Conan's old friend.. Jimmy Vivino)
That's What Tedeschi Will Make You Do (w/smokestack lightning bonus feature the Colonel himself!)
Knockin'
One for Levon
ABB Does Beatles
And proving once again he's the hardest working man in headie business... Warren took the liberty of heading over to the Soulive Post-Show one night (and he brought D-Trucks with him).. as you might imagine.. the results.. were stupendous...
2. And In Other New Music News
It's the news Phish fans have longed to hear.. unless of course we're talking about another Time Turns Elastic...
(follow the link for video of said interview... Trey on Morning Joe? Madness)
Trey Anastasio – Phish To Start New Album “Tomorrow”
The new Broadway musical Hands On A Hard Body officially opens tonight after weeks of previews. To promote the premiere, HoaHB’s creative team of Trey Anastasio, Amanda Green and Doug Wright visited MSNBC’s Morning Joe. While most of the discussion focused on the musical, John Heilemann asked a question that many Phish fans have pondered – when will Phish start recording a new album?
Anastasio’s off-the-cuff response was “tomorrow.”

3. Oh Well, Whatever, Nevermind
Nice behind-the-scenes read on the making of the classic Nirvana album... I think this paragraph sums it up nicely...
"They were living in this apartment complex, and it was chaos," Vig remembers. There'd be graffiti on the walls, and the couches were upside down. They'd stay up every night and go down to Venice Beach until six in the morning. I'd go into the studio at noon and they'd wander in around four."
5. Boogie On
In case you missed the Jerry tribute show over the summer.. here's a nice lil highlight posted by TRI(p) studios... (Cactus on a New Speedaway? Yes please!)
6. Who's the Man With A Master Plan?
Apparently.. it is no longer the one with a mutha fuckin gun...

This is probably the best story of the week so far.. needless to say, I've got my weekend plans set!
Lil Wayne News: Rapper In Stable Condition After Six Days In ICU (UPDATE)
Posted: 03/18/2013 10:38 am EDT | Updated: 03/18/2013 6:32 pm EDT
TMZ reports that Weezy's condition has not improved following his reported drug overdose on "sizzurp," also known as "purple drank," a concoction that includes prescription-strength cough syrup mixed with lemon-lime soda and Jolly Ranchers. The 30-year-old rapper has become famous for his association with the drug, which he recently said he's been trying to quit.
--------
UPDATE: Thankfully, our young Weezy has since been released from the hospital. And no doubt, he's since gotten back on the wagon and had some of his Purple Drank.. wait, is it on the wagon or off the wagon?
-- Movies & TV --
1. Slippin Into Darkness (once again)
Nerd Alert! There's another new Star Trek trailer out... (talk about morning wood)
2. Nerd Alert Alert!
Nice interview with the original actor who played Boba Fett.. some cool tidbits about filming actually... It's funny, Star Wars for me is kind of like Phish. When there's no tour scheduled, and I have no shows to look forward too, I actually, shockingly, listen to other music. Then once tour is announced, it's all Phish all the time. Same deal for Star Wars. Now that there's more movies coming out, and they actually may be good unlike the last 3.. I'm clicking any link that even has "Star" in the headline.. ((insert your nerd jokes here))
3. Do You Recognize This Man?
Hm... could it be... SATAN?!?!?
"The Bible": Does Satan look like Obama in History Channel miniseries?

The History Channel miniseries "The
Bible" has been a hit in the ratings, but it's also grabbing attention
because of the actor playing Satan -- and the public figure some viewers
think he resembles.
4. I've A Hunger...
Nice article on AV club about the best TV dream sequences.. which as we all know, are often the best thing to happen to a TV show (See: Sopranos) BUT! they left out the best one of all...
5. Move Over Aston Doucher
Ironically, I always felt Justin Long was kind of a doucher in his own right.. but this movie poster made me change my mind..
Funny or Die Makes a Steve Jobs Movie
By BROOKS BARNES
Justin Long in an advertisement for the film “iSteve.”
But it turns out there was also a joker in the deck nobody knew about: Funny or Die, the comedy Web site, said over the weekend that it had made its own Jobs movie — “iSteve” — and planned to unveil it online on April 15. A biopic poking fun at biopics, “iSteve” stars Justin Long (“New Girl,” “DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story”) in the title role. At 60 to 75 minutes, the movie is the longest project to date for Funny or Die, which generally features bite-sized videos.
6. I Found Out Long Ago..
(ohhhh ohhhh oh oh oh oh ohh)
It's a Long Way Down.. Holiday Roooooaaad
(ohhhh ohhhh oh oh oh oh ohh)
Yes, when I first heard they were making a "Lampoon's Vacation" Reboot.. I was disappointed.. then I saw this news, and immediately am on board. Can't get enough Kelly Bundy..
Ladies and gentlemen: Meet the new Mrs. Griswold.
Former co-star Christina Applegate is in discussions to join New Line’s Vacation remake-reboot project, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She would be cast opposite The Hangover standout Ed Helms, who’ll actually be playing Rusty Griswold
-------------------
Side note: Has there ever been a role that's had more actors play it than Rusty Griswold? Seriously.. it's now in the cannon of all-time historical great roles like MacBeth and Hamlet... MacBeth.. Hamlet.. Rusty... As it should be...
7. Hold The Hamm
You can't stop Don Draper! You can only hope to contain him!
Jon Hamm’s revealing performances puts ‘Mad Men’ in a tight spot
Jon Hamm is fully equipped for stardom, say ‘Mad Men’ insiders.
“Mad Men” star Jon Hamm’s private parts are causing a stir. Again.
An AMC insider tells Confidenti@l that during filming of the sixth season of the hit show — when the ’60s-style clothing was a tight fit — Hamm was politely instructed by a staffer at the network to please wear underwear while shooting his scenes.

8. Oh, Billy...
When it comes to TV personalities who we'd like to see bad things happen to.. is anyone higher on the list than Bill O'Reilly? Well, if that's how you feel too.. this links for you..
Bill O’Reilly’s Divorce Is So Ugly, God Got Involved
Bill O'Reilly wants his ex-wife to go to Hell. Literally. As we previously reported, the Fox News falafelist became separated from his former wife Maureen McPhilmy at some point in 2011, and later went on an apparently corrupt crusade to destroy the career of the Nassau County Police detective she was dating. We have now confirmed that O'Reilly and McPhilmy have been formally divorced, that she has since married the detective, and that O'Reilly is in the midst of a scorched-earth custody battle—dubbed, appropriately enough, Anonymous v. Anonymous—over the ex-couple's two children. It involves a surreptitious attempt by O'Reilly to undermine his custody arrangement by hiring, as a member of his household staff, the woman he and his ex had agreed on as a neutral arbiter of their disputes. It also involves O'Reilly's attempts to annul his marriage and have McPhilmy potentially booted from the Catholic Church.

Thumbs and Ammo: 11 Classic Movie Scenes With Thumbs Up Instead of Guns
The premise is simple. The execution is flawless. New blog Thumbs
and Ammo perfectly recreates classic movie shots of characters pointing
guns with one thing missing: the gun. In its place, the positive energy
that only a hearty thumbs up can bring. Below are a sampling of our
favorites, but be sure to check out the entire site for the full

1. Tuck You
(love the curly haired boyfriend caricature) My two cents? Sure it was a stupid rule, but it was the rule.. I also understand why they had it in place in the first place. The idea was to take as much of the referee interpretation out of a play like that as possible. Of course, now with all the high def replays, it easier to go back and see it in super slow mo and tell for sure.. but back when this rule was put into the rule book, that wasn't the case.. Making the "tuck" part of the throwing motion just simplified things.. either way, they can't take the banners back now! So F-U Al Davis (RIP) and Gruden and Gannon and all those Oakland losers!
What if the ‘Tuck Rule’ never was?
Charles Woodson’s hit on Tom Brady in this 2002 playoff game prompted the use of the tuck rule that helped the Patriots propel their run to the Super Bowl.
So, now it can be asked: Was the Patriots dynasty built on a lie?
OK, maybe that’s a little harsh. But the NFL rules committee on Wednesday eliminated the phony “Tuck Rule,” which means the team’s first championship never should have happened.
It really was a fumble, after all.
This must make former Raiders coach Jon Gruden feel good. And I’m sure Al Davis is dancing with the devil in Football Heaven.
2. And Thus... A Hero Was Born
Thank God for the internet, otherwise, most of us would never see shit like this..
Basketball Fan Refuses to Share Ice Cream with Girlfriend, Becomes Instant Internet Celebrity
While the Magic and the Pacers passed a striped orange ball around in the hopes of throwing it repeatedly into a netted hoop, the real entertainment was taking place in the stands.
A young bearded gentleman who had purchased for himself a large cone with several scopes of mint chocolate chip ice cream was pulling a Joey on his significant other, who was visibly (and comically) aghast at his lack of generosity.
Most likely, as pointed out by Isaiah Thomas and Chris Webber in the post-game play-by-play (see below), the SO had turned down an earlier opportunity to enjoy her very own ice cream cone, and the boyfriend was merely making a very necessary point.
Kudos to you, Ice Cream Guy. Keep fighting the Good Humor fight.
3. Before They Were Stars
A-list stars who played basketball in school
It’s time for March Madness, which reminds us of an old rite of passage that almost everyone partook in: playing sports back in high school. Even some of Hollywood's biggest celebs did it, back before the fame—and many were court stars, playing basketball as young teens. Our friends at Snakkle.com unearthed some choice pics of a few stars who traded their school team jerseys for red carpet attire. Can you guess who they are? -- By Snakkle.com

I don't know why..but I just find this pic priceless..
((Hey, Terrell! We need to get you one of those jerseys))

NEW YORK (AP) — Lululemon has yanked its
popular black yoga pants from store shelves after it found that the
sheer material used was revealing too much of its loyal customers.
The company insisted it had not changed the
specifications for the clothing, but is warning of a shortage of the
extraordinarily popular clothing items, which make up make up about 17
percent of all women’s pants and crop pants in its stores.
