George Jones
I just finished reading the autobiography of country music legend George Jones. It’s chock full of violent tales of booze and drugs. One rock-bottom anecdote that really stood out was when George was so coked out and paranoid that he couldn’t stop hearing the voice of (and soon enough talking with the voice of) an imaginary duck named Deedoodle.
This almost rivals Slash being chased by Predators. I’ll say it again; stay away from the hard drugs, kids.
THE TRAVELING WILBURYS

Why is this supergroup so forgotten? Sure, their albums aren’t exactly the sum of their parts and maybe all of our dads “de-cooled” them by overplaying the cassette tapes… But it’s the closest we have to a Dylan/Beatle duet… which also happens to feature Tom Petty at his peak, rock pioneer Orbison, and the guy from ELO thrown into the mix. Give it a listen if you like classic rock lineage.

“A Song Of Ice And Fire” Character Sketchbook Spread.
This is going to be a really geeky post, but bear with me. HBO just announced that they are a greenlighting a TV adaptation of my favorite fantasy novel epic by George R.R. Martin. I can’t imagine how they will pull it off; I’ve never read another book with so many characters. Look at that two-page spread I drew of character portraits. (…still unfinished since the series is only half-published!) I just want to implore everyone to read the books now before you see the show because it’s an awesome experience.
