Ah, nothing quite fills a slow-ass holiday Monday better than list gripery. At first, as I read this rundown of the 25 "Best Band Logos," all I could think was "they better remember the Misfits...

George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic at 9:30 club

Homemade band T-shirts and posterboard signs? You'd expect to see such things at a concert performed by a 16-year-old, not a 68-year-old. But there's always a frenzied reaction when funk icons George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic are onstage -- as was the case when they touched down at the 9:30 club Monday night.

Plane Stupid Smoking On Parliament

IS it a bird? Is it a disgruntled dad dressed up as Superman? No, it’s a paper plane being lobbed by Olivia Chessell and her band of protestors stood on the roofs of Parliament. There are five protestors in all, but the Mail and Telegraph both focus on the youngest female of the group, a 20-year-old blonde-ish woman in a tight pencil skirt and burgundy blouse. The protestors are demonstrating against plans to expand Heathrow Airport. They are on the roof for three hours. Says Gordon Brown: “Decisions in the country should be made in the chamber of the House and not on the roof of the Hosue.” This may have been an attempt at humour. As for the protestors, they are from a group called Plane Stupid, which has a history of telling anyone who flies abroad for their holidays in search of sun and fun that they are stupid. As such, they have little chance of success. People, in general, do not respond kindly to being called thickos for spending their money as they choose. And, in any case, their protest is overshadowed by the news that they made it on to the roof “via a spot where Westminster workers go for a cigarette”. Does health and safety know? And can Gordon Brown be wrong? Is the roof at Westminster the new smoke-filled corridor where business used to be conducted and meaningful allegiances formed. We should be told!

SIMI-LEBRITIES: Katie Couric, This Is Your Life!

When reading the NY Post online this morning, we came across an item that for a few brief, horrifying seconds, had something to do with Katie Couric quitting CBS, moving to 'Bama, buying a house made out of Parliament Lights, and using her sorceress superpowers to fast forward the clocks a coupla years or ten. It turns out, the picture on the right is just Michelle Phillips from our favorite childhood folk band The Mamas and the Papas, who had this to say: "I HAD a very good relationship with drugs. I used them, I had fun with them, I grew with them" - Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas on "1968 with Tom Brokaw." You.... don't say! Well, in that case, you look fantastic. Maybe Katie should drop some acid before one of her broadcasts... she looks like she could use it. And let's be honest, it's not like anyone would notice or is watching.
