Hot Hawkeye Live Chat

We talk for an hour at noon. I don't believe Hlas will be involved. He's on assignment.

I invited Demi and Ashton. They respectfully declined. I went after Tom Arnold. Again, no.

Let's face it. Hlas is irreplaceable.

The Twitterati turned me on to the Avett Brothers and thank goodness they did.

I absolutely love this song, "Kick Drum Heart." Sappy? Maybe. But I can be that way at this time in my life.

"It's not the chase that I love. It's me following you."

And because this is my Friday (if I get everything finished), here's a bonus.

I heard this song on the way to Iowa City this morning. Remember this REM? Sure, a lot of you don't. I certainly do. I also miss having the Michael Stipe hair in this video. (Had this exactly in college and it wasn't an accident. Hey, I was a dopey English major.)
