Everyone remembers it, the classic Homerpalooza episode. Now the episode gets another honor by being on VH1's Top 50 Greatest Funny Moments in Music. Coming at Number 2 and for a good reason since the episode featured great bands and guests. Who was Number 1 then? The one and only Spinal Tap which features Harry Shearer, the voice of such characters as Burns and Smithers. We just had to tie it into the Simpsons somehow.

Hey fellow Californians, in this week's LA Weekly is a 1/2 page ad for the upcoming All Tomorrow's Parties Pacific 2003 show which is curated by Simpsons creator, Matt Groening. The idea behind All Tomorrow's Parties is to invite a curator be that a musician, artist, or writer to choose a selection of bands/performers that reflect their record collection or people that they feel influenced by or connected to. Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth perfectly described the ATP Festival as 'the ultimate mix tape'. Click Here to see the full ad or visit the Official Site.
When she discovered a lump in her breast as a young woman, a terrified Marcia Wallace returned to her hometown and her trusted Uncle Jimmy, the doctor, to have it removed. While the lump was benign, the experience served as practice for the day years later when Wallace actually was diagnosed with breast cancer. Entitled "Don't Look Back, We're Not Going That Way," Wallace's book covers her painful childhood, her career — she's appeared on stage, in films and television shows, including Taxi, Murphy Brown, Seventh Heaven and Providence, winning an Emmy for her role as Ms. Edna Krabapple on The Simpsons — her midlife marriage, and cancer. Now a breast cancer advocate who speaks on behalf of the Komen Foundation, Wallace says it was sharing her story with family and friends that evolved first into her advocacy, and later her book.

Mr Dovey's letter in the Star, "Are we capable of fulfilment without some divine aid?" (The Star, September 15), raises some interesting points. He says astrology is capable of being an accepted science because it is offered as a degree at reputable British and American universities.
