I went to see Australia this afternoon. I enjoy these type of movies. It was basically a cattle drive and could have been John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. One thing I wonder about a lot of Aussie movies....does there always have to be an Aborigine reference and/or story-line? I guess their history with those people is pretty miserable ... and recent.

Someone asked me recently to recommend some restaurants in Duluth...hmmm. That's a hard one. (That's what she said.) I mentioned the Pickwick. In a sort of old-fashioned way,I love lunch at the Pickwick. BTW...the Pickwick onion rings are some of the best in the world. When I was a kid, my parents used to take me for Chinese food in West Duluth at the Cody Hotel. It was the epitome of non-authentic, American-style, Chinese food. (Lots of sprouts) For some reason, they served toast with the Chop Suey. Just regular buttered white-bread toast. For years, I loved having toast with my egg foo young, or moo goo guy pan. The Chopstick Inn on 4th street is one of those great non-authentic Chinese food places. Cheap and tasty...and next time I'm going to ask if they can make me toast.

Across the bridge in Superior, Wisconsin are some great bar/hamburger joints. I like a burger to be juicy and greasy and slopping and full of fried onions and stuff. Mostly, I like to eat and talk. Fuck the food.]]> Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:19:20 +0000 http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=351#comment http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=351
He is still around, but the show is different. I still listen to copies I have of those old shows. It was a very special talent that was just..natural.

I listen to a lot of talk radio and some are good at it....some are not. Lately I have been listening to Bill Bennett on his syndicated morning show Morning In America. He was in the Cabinet as Secretary of Education....been around politics a bit....written several books...lots of face time on TV as a talking head. Not one of these resume items any indication of a talent on the radio. There is just something there. He has a natural talent.

When I told my Dad that I was going to be a DJ he said it sounded like something that came out from under a rock. I hope that radio doesn't totally ruin Bill Bennett's life.]]> Wed, 03 Dec 2008 21:38:33 +0000 http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=351#comment http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=351 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:42:30 +0000 http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=351#comment
