The Daily News
The polls are in, and we have projected
a winner:
Neuman wins decisively.1 Nothing like a good, strong election.2 I think by the time I found my voting place, most of the results were already in.
3 But I voted anyway. I voted for Dennis-the-Menace’s father I think just because I felt sorry for the guy.
4 While channel-surfing last night, I tuned into one station that was at his headquarters, awaiting the victorious news from the final polls.
5 The newsguy, noticing the sparcity of enthusiasm, said words to this effect: “Some say that this is like waiting for a wedding where everyone knows the groom isn’t going to show up.”
6 What a waste of balloons that guy was.
7 I was surprised because for once, a lot of things I voted for passed.
8 Now we’re all in big trouble.
9 Arnold’s victoy speech praising his “valonteers” moved me deeply. It moved me to the other room.
10 His speech sounded more like a memorized script, which of course, it probaby was since he didn’t really even need to campaign.
11 At least palitics can be more about finding cammen ground. Nice to hear him saying a few verds. Caulifornia, it would appeah, iss in good hahnnz.
12 Moving on: all that talk yesterday about the Stones, and we almost forgot that the Who play tonight at the Tank.
13 Well, The Who-Light.
14 Great interview with Pete Townshend in yesterday’s Merc News. Reporter Shay Quillen, after not getting much in terms of a phone interview, asked Townshend if he might answer a few e-mail questions.
15 Townshend happened to be in the same room in Los Angeles where he first heard word that their awesome bass guitarist John Entwistle had died. They had already lost one of the greatest rock drummers in history, Keith Moon,to years of hard-living. Entwhistle met the same demise.
16 His e-mail reply turned into a pretty interesting story of the post-Enthistle/Moon Who.
