Before the list...here are links to the items I mentioned on today's show...the great blog post connecting a haircut to Bruce Springsteen, the book about former champ Floyd Patterson, and the magazine article called "Frank Sinatra has a Cold"--enjoy.  Oh, and I also shared my affection for the song, The Rose--heard it the other day while putting gas in my car and am not ashamed to say I was moved.  Well, maybe kinda ashamed, but...
