Chris Dreja RIP: of the legendary 60s Rock band The Yardbirds has died at 79. Dreja co-founded The Yardbirds in 1963; playing rhythm guitar alongside lead axman Tom Topham, singer Keith Relf, drummer Jim McCarthy and bassist Paul Samwell-Smith. The group would go on to feature three of the most celebrated guitarists in rock history in Eric Clapton, who replaced Topham in 1993; Jeff Beck, who took over for Clapton in 1965; and future Led Zeppelin heavyweight Jimmy Page, who joined in 1966; when Samwell-Smith left.

Amazon removed the guns from key art used on every James Bond film on Prime -ostensibly to provide a unified look for the series on streaming. Alas, removing the weapons left 007 in some awkward poses.
What does this portend about Amazon MGM's handling of Bond?

via BetaCuck4Lyfe, which coincidentally enough will be James Bond's new cover identity.

Whether we win or lose (let's win, though, right?), I'm just sooo happy it's going to be over. As a blogger, I should want it to continue. But as a human being, I can't take it any more. Kathryn Jean Lopez was saying (at that event I attended) that all the political consultants and hacks she talks to say that-- they just can't take it; they need it to be over. I imagine most of you feel the same way. Except for a few sickies. Incidentally, I'll be live-blogging the election tonight, which I guess just means I'll be posting a lot. posted by Ace at 11:18 AM Comments Woot for the sickies! I don't know why I didn't get as burned or bummed out about it as everyone else. I guess I had a low bar to start with. Posted by: Elric on November 2, 2004 11:21 AM I'm with you Ace. Enough is enough. I'm going to consume several Leinenkugel's (Oktoberfest is outstanding!) tonight, hoot and holler when Bush is announced the winner and then put this whole thing out of mind and enjoy the Kim Richards Pic-O-Rama :) Posted by: BrewFan on November 2, 2004 11:30 AM Good idea. I'm breaking out the Christmas carols early, and who can feel uptight with that musical backdrop? Posted by: Nicholas Kronos on November 2, 2004 11:40 AM Kim Richards???? I thought he said Keith Richards. Yeh, okay, now I'll vote for Bush. Posted by: Master of None on November 2, 2004 11:41 AM Ditto. After several years of intense news addiction, I have no more emotional enegy left. I'm voting, but otherwise I'm switched off. Posted by: lauraw on November 2, 2004 01:00 PM Between Ace, Instapundit, The Corner, and other assorted blogs, I won't be surprised when my modem bursts into flame. That's all right, though.
