As many of you know I'm a huge fan of Tim Robbins and his work as an actor and director. His film, "Cradle Will Rock" about Marc Blitzstein and Orson Welles landmark musical performance for the Federal Theatre is to me just fantastic.

It also has Jack Black!

I've seen the film several times in the theatre and on TV.

Well I had a great experience hanging out with Ruben Blades the other day. He is working on a new CD and he told me many things about how he goes about creating his music.

We seemed to really hit it off when I told him how much I enjoyed his portrayal of Diego Rivera in Robbin's film and how he created that performance.

He really seems to be a cool artist, so not once did I mention his work in "Predator 2", though he was the best actor in it.

I would tell you more stories of wild things that have happened to me these past few days, however "America's Top Model" is on right now and I've got lotion in my hand.
