My dentist says I need to floss more or suffer the consequences.  Gingivitis and tooth decay are "real possibilities" she says.  I'm not sure I buy it.  I read an article in the NY Post stating that dentists and Johnson & Johnson, the largest supplier of dental floss, are in cahoots.  Scare tactics are apparently being used to force us to buy packs of the overly-priced, mint-flavored string at an increasingly high rate.

 

Okay, that's not actually true.  But I wish it were, that way I wouldn't have to floss daily.  What it boils down to is that flossing is an annoyance.  I'm sure at it's most extreme length, it takes three minutes, though the perception is much more than that - say, an hour.  I think I'd rather get the extra few minutes of sleep.  Having to get up at 3:30 in the morning starts to take its toll.

Whoa!  Yesterday was a very busy day.  We had the RXP Session with Company Of Thieves at Webster Hall at 12:30pm, and then I went out to lunch afterwards to eat more chorizo.  I know I said I would never eat the spiced pork prouct again, stemming from the fact I was sick for three days after eating it before, but there was this overwhelming craving for it.  I could resist, so I went back and ate some more.  Regarding my stomach:  so far, so good.

Anyway, with the hectic schedule yesterday, I didn't get a chance to post a blog.  Jack White called in the show to tell me that I owed him money, and we also aired part of my interview with Alice In Chains, backstage before their show on Monday night at Terminal 5.

Hey guys!  It's Matt, and I'm back!  That's classic!

 

Being the strong soul I am, I battled off a case of food poisoning, brought on by the consumption of some spiced Spanish pork, aka chorizo, aka fatty, disgusting-ness that I will never eat again.  I'm am now convinced that chorizo is an invention by the makers of Pepto-Bismol.  That and White Castle.  The two alone are enough to carry the company into a realm of astronomical profits.  Shame on you, Corporate America.

 

What a show today.  Wow.  Wow.  Wow.  Wow.  Wow.  Wow.  Wow.  Does that get the point across?   Muse played Madison Square Garden on Friday, and the show was simply a work of art.  No words can explain the experience or the showmanship that this band puts on.  And before their set, Muse sat down and spoke with the RXP "I'm With The Band" winner.  We aired clips of ...
