"On Scatterbrain, McIntire addresses the ups and downs of a working comic's life. The bulk of the album is all laughs -- solid material on everything from having kids to the war on terror, killer stuff from one of Boston's most reliable comedy veterans -- but it's the bonus track, the one labeled "Nagasaki," that's getting the most attention. The nearly half-hour track is nothing short of a complete hell gig..."

"If Tim set out to reveal more about himself and be vulnerable on his new CD, Scatterbrain, he succeeded. He pulls off the delicate trick of turning inward without losing his persona. He is still The Reverend. Now, rather than pointing the finger at others, he's pointing it at himself. Instead of looking at obscure news stories and making them universal, he takes something universal, the birth of a child, and makes it his...It's smart and fearless. Mr. Hicks, this is Mr. Cosby."

Memorial Day

I've got a pot of green chile stew slowclooking in the kitchen, I'm playing Walk the Line on my guitar, and I've got a sixer of Tecate icing down in the backyard. I think of it as my little slice of Sonora in the middle of Boston. A Colorado gringo in King Romney's Court, if you will.

Anyway, I am told that there is a connection between my ability to kick it all Southwestern like and the fact that we sent the Marines to Iraq. While I remain fairly unconvinced of the specific linkage, I do recognize that today is the day we honor those who have died in service of this country. I've personally gotten off easy on this count. Not only has my pasty ass never had to schlep off get shot at, but my family's military service has been mild. My father was in the Navy during Vietnam, and as near as I can tell, he spent the entire time getting Marines seasick and taking home movies of it.

So rather than add another empty paean to the military to the cocophony (emphasis on "phony") out there in the blogoverse today, let me just raise a Tecate to the only active duty servicemembers I know:

Benari and Blue Shift, here's to you. Thanks, boys!
