Think Like A Proton
“I’m pretty sure this is a Beryllium atom and the artist just used artistic license to depict the 8 protons and neutrons in the nucleus as the atom’s body (1), eyes (2), teeth (4), and tongue (1). He also portrayed the atom part way through the oxidation process, which is why it still has 3 electrons instead of the traditional 2 that form the Be+2 ion. But even midway through oxidation, the atom would still have a positive charge. So the shirt is technically (though artistically) correct.
Yeah, I’m gonna go with that.”

Saturday Matinee – The Courettes, Mr. Sipp & Ry Cooder
Dubbed The World’s Greatest Two Person Rock ‘N’ Roll Ensemble, Flavia & Martin Couri, aka The Fabulous Courettes, are proof that Phil Spector lives.
Castro Coleman, aka Mr. Sipp is smooth. A recipient of many prestigious awards, Castro was the first bluesman to have his handprint inducted into the Wall of Fame in Fredrikshavn, Denmark.
The master of roots blues slide guitar, Ry Cooder gets all swampy whenever he wants to, and that’s fine with me. Mo swampy mo betta.
Yep, another week has gone by and I don’t miss it already. See you back here tomorrow at whenever o’clock sharp.
