We're having a day off in Chicago after playing Muskegon yesterday.  

I've said it once, and I'll say it again, Muskegon is a special place for me. But is it shallow to feel a connection with a place just because it rhymes with your last name?   I'm convinced an old country song is buried somewhere in Michigan.  "Jimmy Creeggan from Muskegon, it's been a while since we've seen 'em...".

Until this gig I wasn't familiar with Muskegon, but for some freak of nature, the name came up in a Temptations documentary that we watched after the show.  Now that I've set foot on Muskegon soil, will Muskegon be a part of my everyday life from this point on?  It's only been 2 days, but I think it's only appropriate that I change my name to Jim Muskegon.  If you can't beat 'em join 'em.  

Thanks to the nice folks of Muskegon for showing us a good time.  

By the way, I'm participating in a stationary bike-athon July 5th to raise money for an AIDS treatment organization called Dignitas International.  I'll be riding a stationary bike for a three hour shift in Dundas Square, Toronto.  If anyone would like to sponsor me, click right here.  If anyone wants to come down and chat with me, I'll appreciate the company, you'll have a captive audience.
