»Police field complaint about a busty snow woman in Ohio. [via: daypop]



»Proxycomm, a new DSL service that Yahoo! is promoting sounds too good to be true. Has anyone heard anything about it? It's $8.95 a month----so you know something's not right.



»Howie Epstein, a former bass player for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, died of what authorities suspect was a drug overdose. He was 47. He played on some of Bob Dylan's albums and also worked with Roy Orbison, Del Shannon, John Hiatt, Stevie Nicks and Eric Anderson.



»Camp Freddy

Rock supergroup Camp Freddy turned in a 21-song set rife with classic tunes Saturday in New York during MTV's Rock the Vote Awards show. I would have rather seen this show televised than the Grammys.



»According to Peggy Noonan: "Two of our former presidents, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, have been talking a lot about their views and feelings on Iraq. It would be nice if they took to speaking less and thinking more." I suppose if they were both against the pending war, she'd be fine with them speaking out.



»Demonstrators in Italy have squatted on railway tracks and organizers are planning a full-scale assault on similar convoys this week. They're vowing to block all movement of US arms by rail between American bases in Italy, dubbing the convoys "trains of death".



»During the Feb 15 Peace Rally here in Asheville, NC, the emcee called out: “Support our soldiers!”. “Bring ‘em home!” came the response from two thousand voices. “Support our soldiers!” “Bring ‘em home!” A Vietnam vet in a wheelchair signaled for attention. “Tell them”, he said, “tell them to bring them home in an airplane, not in a body bag, or like me, in a wheelchair.”



»Iraq Peace Team members travel to Demilitarized Zone yesterday along the Iraq-Kuwait border to establish a Peace Tent. We will only achieve success when we show the same courage for peace as soldiers do for war.



George Harrison's Birthday today. He would have been 60. Although he'd written many songs early on, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", his All Things Must Pass album was my favorite. It was a triple box set my sister bought me for my 18th Christmas and contained “What Is Life,” “Isn’t It A Pity,” “Beware Of Darkness” “I’d Have You Anytime”, Dylan's “If Not For You”, and “My Sweet Lord”. Full of great memories of my first year in a college dorm; me in my full-blown hippie glory. My album is still at my Mother's house for safe-keeping. His first guitar went on display at the Beatles museum in Liverpool today. Happy Birthday, George.
