You know, I like the Black Crowes in that Best-Stones/Faces-Tribute-Band-In-The-World type of way, but I've seen interviews with Chris Robinson and he comes across as a bonafide moron.

Wow. I'm not up on my gossip-stuff. I had no idea Kate Hudson was Goldie Hawn's daughter, and I'd swear I saw the cover of a magazine in the grocery store just last week or so that advertised Kate talking about the secrets of her perfect, long-enduring marriage.

Whaddatheysay?: "Funny ol' world, i'nnit?"

I'd swear I saw the cover of a magazine in the grocery store just last week or so that advertised Kate talking about the secrets of her perfect, long-enduring marriage.

You're not crazy- Kate Hudson's Allure cover, complete with worshipy-article about how great her marriage was, was on the stands when her divorce was announced.

I don't think I've ever agreed with jonmc more.

Oh, and for the lurid gossip lovers, I read somewhere that the issue what that Kate had lost interest in the cuckoo group sex that Chris digs.

Yea, I read that somewhere as well, richat. I can't remember where, although it might have been Popbitch.

Oh, and if you like the Crowes, Chris Robinson's first solo album is okay, but the second one, New Earth Mud, is very good - up there with the Crowes' best stuff.
