Oh hell no

John Hughes, the genius director who brought us Long Duk Dong, chips dips chains whips, and pretty much everything else that was worth watching in the '80s, is dead. RIP John...

I experienced something similar to this many times while playing shows in damp basements that reeked of cat piss using old Kustom amps made in the '60s...

This is a screenshot from an upcoming Milwaukee Bikes promo vid. Dave Jennings and I were out filming when a couple of police officers came around and asked what we were doing. We explained it to them and they were really chill about it. They asked a few questions about the bike, and one even took it for a spin. Nice guys.

Nike SB and The Budos Band

I'm sure you've all seen the recent Nike SB web video with Paul Rodriguez, "Today Was a Good Day." Along with the extended version of the commercial they also released several behind the scenes edits, and you may have noticed that the music used on those edits is by none other than The Budos Band, who graciously provided a song for Bootleg Sessions v.2...



And to tie this all together very nicely, Paul Rodriguez is the son of actor Paul Rodriguez Sr., who played the character Hector Rodriguez in the classic messenger movie Quicksilver.

Congrats to the Budos boys!
