I won't hide it—I’m a big fan of the “big man” Barry Bonds! Like many Giants fans here in San Fran this guy has made going to the ballpark (the sweetest ballpark in the majors, I might add) a thrilling experience! His prowess at the plate is one of the all time greatest spectacles in sports, and he stands at the threshold of homerun history this season!

Saw the 'Dudes' last night at the Great American Music Hall, a classic, intimate venue in in SF.
My favorite new song is "Papa Dukie and the Mud People" off their new album "Behind the Levee," an obvious reference to their devasted and pre-reconstructed hometown.
The catchy refrain provided a nice sing-a-long moment.
Few people in the crowd were born after the 1950's!
See them in your town for a quality live music experience!
