Mick Jagger will be releasing a new album in November.  Joining him on the album 
will be Pete Townshend of The Who, Bono of U2, Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliot.  
This will be Jagger's first solo effort in 8 years. 

Five supporting cast members of CBS show "Becker" called in sick for the first day 
of shooting.  The studio sent doctors to their homes, but there are rumors that 
this was done for salary negotiations.  I must say, they are not very original, 
West Wing cast members played that game a few weeks ago.  

David Hasselhoff is planning to return to his role as the Knight Rider in what he 
is calling an "absolutely big feature film".  The question that comes to mind right 
away is "Why?"

Michael Jackson's 2 concerts at Madison Square Garden sold out within hours.  A 
combined total of 40,000 tickets for September 7th and 10th shows, ranging from 
$45 to $2,500, sold out within 5 hours.  I personally tried to buy a ticket about 
3 hours after they went on sale online, and the cheapest I could get by then was 
$800, and that's a little too steep (hell, even if I would use that damn tax 
rebate, I still have to fork over $500!).  
 
A lot of single men (and married men, and a few women) were crushed upon hearing 
the news of the tennis-goddess Anna Kournikova getting hitched (has she ever won 
a game? Come to think of it, does she really need to win a game?  She is fine by 
me!).  Soon we found out that it wasn't true, and Anna is still single.  For more 
information on Anna, and to read her statement on the news, check her out at her 
official website:  Anna Kournikova

Today in History:

1934 -   Adolf Hitler declared himself Germany's leader on the death of President 
              Hindenberg  (gee, kind of like the Supreme Court declared Bush president?)

Leif Garrett Offers Advice


Leif Garrett, teen idol of the late 70's (and subject of a VH1 'Behind the Music), 
has a little advice for today's teen idols.

''Being a pinup is great,'' the 39-year-old said in the September issue of Spin 
magazine. ''Believe me, I know. But you only have a certain life span unless 
you mature and get to an artistic level of your own.''

Garrett's advice for Pepsi spokeswoman Britney Spears: ''Avoiding gross 
commercialism might help. Get the word out that you're writing. You're 
reinventing yourself.''

For Mandy Moore: ''Keep up the natural, less contrived angle. And stay at MTV.''

And for boy band 98 Degrees: ''Don't wait; just record the death metal record now.''

More Musings From The ShadowCatcher

The ShadowCatcher
You know I once read this big book on Philosophy, and they said that there are 
only a few Principles, like in Nature's Laws, or in the Laws of Physics, but there
are millions of different ways to express them, so there is a lot of reptitious 
rhetoric bouncing off the walls.

Repetition is a form of 'Conditioning'. Now some wise old fart once said that, 
"If you tell the "Big Lie" long enough and often enough, people will start to 
believe it". No shit? 

And that's how propaganda began. 

Which is what the old preachers and polititians are into today, not to speak of
'commercials' that flood the TV, and the "Newspapers", Now Damn! that really 
burns my ass.  How many Automobile Salesmen do you have to go through to hear the 
news?  ha!

But on the lighter side, I heard on the news, that they are sending two 'Condom' 
machines to the Antartica, for the researchers there. Now, I've heard of Coke 
machines and even Pepsi machines, but Condom machines is a new one on me, I guess 
I'm behind the times, and it seems like in Antartica they have a lot of idle-time, 
and maybe they arelike "First Aid Kits" for "hard attacks". Who knows?  ha!

                                        Regards
                                                ShadowCatcher
