Opening night of the Democratic Convention saw the debut of the new John Legend song "If You're Out There" (way better than the Dave Stewart Obama song). Afterwards politicians and the suited-type headed over to the Rock the Vote party, which featured performances by Jakob Dylan and N.E.R.D., who watched their language in front of the stuffier crowd.

I'm working to catch up on some back reviews that I've been meaning to get to in the past month. First up is Jakob Dylan's first solo album, entitled Seeing Things. Dylan has a big shadow to get out from under, that of his father's, the legendary Bob Dylan.

These are the hotties you would holla back at even if they were the local 7-11 clerk, taxi driver, or shoe shiner. It's not enough that they were blessed with jaw-dropping musical talent, they just happen to be f#@&g sexy too!!!Let us forget for a second their accomplishments as pioneers and artists and focus on something much more important, their incredibly good looks. 5.
