Tacoma Rock City

Ha! Fooled ya. This post isn't about Heath Ledger (though I have seen his amazing and creepy performance in the new Batman flick three times already.) This one's about rock legend and sometime Friday Harbor resident Steve Miller, who will headline the Gorge on Saturday (Aug. 2). And that's the perfect excuse to revisit the interview I did with ol' Steve last summer. He talked about rock's most famous Tacoma reference, explained what the hell a "pompitious" was and stirred up a bit of controversy among Who fans. Click the link and check it out.

"The Rocker" is coming out this month (on Aug. 20, according to the folks at Fandango.) And while I haven't gotten much better at editing video in Final Cut Pro, I think its imminent release is as good a reason as any to, I don't know, finally post that Rainn Wilson interview footage I've been promising. This interview was done backstage at the Gorge during Sasquatch Festival. And while the clip is a bit longer than what I normally post, it has some funny payoff moments with Wilson talking about kissing Christina Applegate, growing up near Seattle and mastering the drumstick twirl.

I'm having trouble getting the durn thing to imbed. So for now follow this link to hear what our man Rainn had to say.
