Anyone else pick up the new Robert Plant yet?? What an amazing CD.

My current song of the moment is track 7 "Takamba" This is vintage vinatge Zepplin, absolutley amazing. With the nicer weather here, I have been driving around with this blaring on repeat in my car since I picked up the CD :thumb: .

Just got in from work, and who would be there for dinner, but Johnny Fay. Here's the really embarrasing part. I didn't realize it was him until the end of the night (5 self inflicted tool points...), when another waiter said "that's the drummer for the Hip." I said "no it isn't..." my friend replied, "yes it is...look at him". Damned if it wasn't. His girlfriend was walking by thanking me for the evening, and I asked "is that Johnny Fay?". She said yes, and I told her I couldn't believe it...I'm one of the Hip's biggest fans, and I didn't realize it was him...." She walked me over and introduced me to him. We talked for a few minutes, and I asked him for an autograph (totally unprofessional at the restaurant, but I didn't care at that point in the night....) He grabbed one of our linens, and said he wanted to sign that. I grabbed a sharpee marker, and he signed it.
He said he wanted to check out the kitchen, cause he had seen the "opening soon" program in which Bymark was shown under construction. I took him back & introduced him to one of our junior sous-chefs (most of the kitchen had gone home by that time) I thanked him again & shook his hand. A very pleasant, nice, generous guy. When I told him I'd seen the Hip 13 times, he thanked me for the business....
All in a night's work eh?
Oh and also Matt Stone (Southpark) & Alex Lifeson (Rush) were in my section.....crazy night

This will run all over the place tomorrow, buried beneath banner stories with heads like: "Martin's a Dictator" or "Harper Doesn't Understand How Parliament Works," depending on the newspaper of course.

I'm just glad somebody is finally voicing the long view in all of this, and I'm particularly enthused that it's this particular somebody:

"Justin Trudeau says he fears renewal of separatism in ugly political climate (Trudeau-Future)
Source: The Canadian Press
May 11, 2005 17:42

By Dennis Bueckert

OTTAWA (CP) - Justin Trudeau says the Liberals could use some time in the wilderness.

"That was one of my father's tricks to stay grounded, and it's certainly one of mine,'' Trudeau said Wednesday. "You get back out of the woods, you regain a certain amount of perspective.''

The son of one of Canada's most charismatic and controversial prime ministers said the political situation today is "ugly.''

He said the sponsorship scandal is evidence of sloppiness in a government that has lacked serious opposition for too long.

"I'd like to see the Conservatives come back to being a strong, credible, national force,'' he said as he fielded questions on a visit to Parliament Hill.

"I don't think the way they are right now they're going to be able to do that.''

The Liberals missed a chance for renewal when Jean Chretien stepped down as Liberal leader and prime minister, he said.

Of particular worry to the younger Trudeau is the rise of the sovereignty movement since the sponsorship mess.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau was obsessed by national unity and defeated the sovereigntists in the 1980 referendum but he never decisively conquered separatism.

"That's one of the things that really scares me right now,'' said the younger Trudeau. "I think we are far closer to the separation of Quebec than we have been for a very long time and I don't think anyone in Ottawa particularly, but in the rest of Canada, is aware or ready to deal with it.''

With the complexion of an outdoorsman and the tousled mane of a rebel, Trudeau radiates health, idealism and the charisma of his father.

But the 33-year-old readily concedes he's too young and inexperienced yet to jump into the fray.

"I'm talking about life experience, I'm talking about depth, I'm talking about a lot of things to learn, a lot of things to understand.

"My own core values are very much in place, but to look at how to make the transition between what you believe into actual policy and actual real decisions, I'm a long way from being able to do that. . . . I'm so young still. It'll take some time.''

He says he's serving his country through his leadership of the Katimavik youth program, which enlists young volunteers to do community service across Canada.

"I will be involved in making a difference and effecting change as much as I can for the rest of my life. Will it end up with me being here (Parliament)? Maybe. I've always said maybe.

"But I'm a long way from that and I'm a long way from being ready for that, and I'm a long way from wanting to do it right now.

"There have to be some serious changes in me and in this place before we're a proper fit.''
