Now 70 years old, William Eggleston is one of the most fashionable figures in rock ’n’ roll, despite never releasing a note of recorded music.

“Today ‘again’ he discovered he didn’t have any legs … He does remember our names, the boys, family and many other things … but missing his legs was a whole new thing today and it was not easy for him. His frontal lobe was severely damaged, but it is amazing how well he is doing considering that fact … ”

There is no real gray area. War is a dirty, ugly thing. It is sometimes necessary, but it comes with costs.

So, how are you coming on your resolutions? We’re nearly 90 days into the New Year and if you’re like most people, you’ve broken your resolutions already. Losing weight has always been my go-to resolution and year-after-year when Dec. 31 rolled around I would find myself a few pounds heavier than on the previous Jan. 1.

After years of failure, I decided not to make any for 2010 and guess what has happened, I’ve dropped 20 pounds since the beginning of the year.

I’ve got a confession. Sometimes, meat speaks to me. The most recent conversation we had was when I made a quick trip to the grocery store to restock bananas. We’ve been eating a great deal of them lately and had run out.

While in the produce section, I heard the familiar throaty whisper and knew it wasn’t the bananas because bananas can’t talk, of course. It was the meat. I hadn’t planned on visiting the meat counter but I didn’t want to be rude. I decided to just go say “Hi.”

Shoes: “Black Vinyl Shoes”

Grade: A

Shoes was one of the first bands to have its music videos appear on MTV in the early ’80s.

“Tomorrow Night,” you remember that one? How about “Too Late”? Both songs are from its major label debut “Present Tense,” but it’s not surprising if you’ve never heard them because even if it could be argued that Shoes indeed achieved mainstream popularity, it was certainly short-lived. The band released three albums between 1979 and 1982 on Elektra, and then retreated home to Illinois, sporadically releasing music on its own label.
