East
Nashville Skyline
At last, fans of singer/songwriter Todd
Snider can rest easy because the guy who brought us Beer
Run, the song that changed a generation
(or at least a considerable number of people), is once again
on the road. Snider is currently on a cross country tour,
performing his classic fan favorites as well as cuts from
his newest studio album. East
Nashville Skyline. Make sure
to catch Snider when he makes his long awaited return to
the Friggemall Building because you never know when he might
bust out his next mega-hit like Beer
Run, Iron Mike, Statistician's Blues or Vinyl
Records. In the meantime, why not
check out some of his other tunes on the Todd
Snider Audio Page.
FACTOID -
Todd Snider came up with the album title for his new CD, East
Nashville Skyline, when he told friends that he wanted
to come up with something as good as Dylan's album,
Nashville Skyline, only focusing on the east side of
town.

Bass
Talk
with Bill Wyman
For 31 years, Bill
Wyman was the bass player for legendary rock band, The Rolling Stones.
And though he fondly reminisces about his time spent with the Stones,
he says that since leaving the band in 1992 he’s had the time of
his life and has become a “little baby Da Vinci.” He’s
written four books, has become a successful amateur archaeologist, owns
a restaurant, is into photography, and most importantly has started up
a new band. He’s new group, The Rhythm Kings was formed when he
took some friends into the studio after picking the bass back up. After
a few years off, Wyman decided he wanted to play again, only this time
with a new, relaxed style. The Rhythm Kings have released five studio
albums since then including their brand new CD, Just
For a Thrill. Bill has also got a new book out titled, Rolling
With the Stones.

Challenging
the Status Quo
Equipped with character voices, unusual sound effects, and a knack ad-libbing,
comedian Scott Henry has been making a
living as a standup comedian for almost 15 years. Though he enjoys working
the crowd while on stage in the clubs, Henry's dream is to be in television.
This may eventually become a reality because over the past three years
he's worked with both ABC and UPN to create a show eerily based on his
own life. Henry's sitcom would be about a guy who decides to go back
to school in an effort to improve his life. At the same time, he's got
to deal with his ultra traditional family who don't agree with his hip,
contemporary outlook on life. Scott's been featured on A&E’s
An Evening at the Improv, VH-1’s Stand-Up Spotlight, and Comedy
Express on FOX. He's also a veteran of the USO and has performed
in over 30 countries.
Scott Henry's GREAT GOLF CADDIE web site has
a collection of unique items targeted at golf nuts with an
insatiable retail itch. Check
it out!
Scott Henry's lovely girlfriend Catherine owns "Mona," which
specializes in furniture and décor items with authentic
antique and vintage pedigrees.

Where
in the Midwest is Tim Bedore?
Live from somewhere in the midwest, and
hopefully out of his in-laws basement, comes another exciting
edition of Tim
Bedore's weekly editorial, Vague
But True. Over the past few weeks,
Tim has phoned in from a number of different places as he's
been busy moving from LA to his new home in Minnesota. Though
he's been on the move, Tim has continued to make time to
share his views on life, society, politics and anything else
that might cross his mind. His topics have included past
summer vacations, theories on Wal-Mart, his hatred of moving,
a global animal conspiracy and the fun you can have with
a SkyMall Magazine. When Tim’s not moving or writing
new VBTs, he can be seen performing standup comedy in a club
near you.

Here's
a Tip From Your Uncle Lar
Uncle
Larry Reeb is the guy you do your best to keep the
kids away from at the family reunions. Everybody has
that relative, the one that wanders around the party,
dispensing unsolicited, and often frightening advice
to anyone and everyone within ear shot. And don't think
you can find a topic he doesn't have an opinion on; you
could be discussing the joys of raising children, nipple
piercing, your last adulterous affair or even football.
and Uncle Lar's still got a 'helpful' tip for you. "It's
a sick world, and I'm a happy guy," says Reeb. "If
this were a perfect world, I'd be unemployed." |

First
Impressions
When we first met comedian Frank
Caliendo all we knew was he was the guy that did the
best John Madden impression ever. But to our surprise, Frank
wasn't just a one voice wonder, he actually had more great
impressions than any one comedian should be allowed to do.
Each time Frank visits, he impresses us with a variety of
celebrity impersonations including Al Pacino, Adam Sandler,
Robin Williams, Jim Rome and Ted Knight just to name a few.
The scary part is that if you didn’t know any better,
you’d think all those celebrities were actually in
the studio. In addition to performing standup comedy, Caliendo
can be seen on FOX’s sketch comedy show Mad
TV and the NFL
on FOX pre-game show. Frank is
currently back on the road and will be performing in Raleigh,
NC, Wichita, KS, and Clinton Township, MI this March.

Mike's
Secret
Public Journal
Mike
Birbiglia may not have won the Comedy Central Standup Showdown, but
that doesn't change the fact that he's got one of the best comedy acts
on tour today. Mike is constantly on the road, and during his travels
he enjoys taking notes and recording his thoughts for a feature he likes
to call his Secret Public Journal.
The legions of adoring fans who have signed up for his newsletter get
these entries e-mailed to them on a regular basis, but out of respect
for those who haven't joined, we've asked him to call in and share his
writings over the phone. Recently, Mike's been taking part in a huge
comedy tour with fellow friends of the show Drew Hastings, Henry Phillips
and Pat Godwin.
FACTOID - Mike has made
a promise to college students that if they hire
him to perform at their school, he'll not only
make them laugh, he'll also eat at the local Applebee's.
Mike's a big fan of Riblets and the Presidentié Margarita.

Zany
Legendary comedian Bob
Zany is set to deliver his eagerly anticipated Zany
Report once again and we can barely contain our excitement. Having
had a week to prepare, Bob is once again ready to present what he thinks
is top-notch material in hopes of creating the biggest, funniest, most
spectacular Zany Report of all time. However, if for some reason you
aren’t exhausted from laughing when it’s all said and done,
Bob's still got BobZany.com to fall
back on. It's there that you can test your hand at punch line writing
by playing Fix The Joke Baby, and while

Pink Meat" T-shirts?
