Little Piggies

This is a rerun of an earlier cartoon because Ratt is traveling for a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, it's the dawg days of August, the kiddies are going back to school, the weather is scorching hot here in Southern California and we're counting down to Election Day. Already.

What's on your mind this morning?

C&L's Late Nite Music Club: Celebrity Skin "S.O.S."

The best covers don't polish up a song we already love. They stomp all over it and drag out whatever was lurking underneath. Johnny Cash did it. The White Stripes did it. The Dickies did it. And one of my all-time favorites came from Los Angeles glam-punk legends Celebrity ...

When "Blade" hit theaters on this day in 1998, it was far more than a stylish vampire action movie. Despite some of its not-quite-ready-for-prime-time CGI, it was one of the films that helped save the superhero genre and provided a proof-of-concept that Marvel characters...
