Let's Talk Corporate For a Moment: Power Endorsement, Great Price Point

This is the new Paul Westerberg ME580 Signature Guitar, available to you for the low, low price of $159 from Amazon or Wal-Mart. Think of it the same way you'd think of Tony Hawk skateboarding shoes, or Greg Lemond bikes, or... um... Colonel Sanders' chicken.

That plaid on the pickguard, by the way, is the authentic tartan of Clan McPunk, which--you may recall--squatted for many years at Hennepin and Lagoon before being run off by the English.

Via Strib. Good on ya, Chris Riemenschneider.

The Fine Art of Denial and Transferrence

Posted at 5:43 PM on October 6, 2006 by Hans Eisenbeis

Here's a good way to ease the pain of the Twins inexplicable meltdown: Focus on another Minnesotan who's on a winning streak, Bob Dylan.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer is hosting an online Bob Dylan sing-alike contest. You have until Monday to grab the video camera and roll out "Masters of War" or "Baby Blue" or whatev.

One caveat, though: You only have one minute. Which is about like asking writers for their best Shakespeare impressions with one sentence. Then again, sampling the entries already posted, one minute may be about 50 seconds too long.
