It’s a Friday in June, and the Hawks have likely just arrived home after a pair of games in Hollywood. And nothing says “Hollywood”, “summer”, and “Friday” like a blockbuster motion picture. And nothing says summer blockbuster quite like Steven Spielberg and his wispy beard.
With a crucial Game 4 on tap tonight taking place in Los Angeles, it’s only appropriate that it become time for some real star power and true Hollywood royalty. And it is with that the legendary Jeff Bridges is presented.
Who needs a laugh today?
With the Hawks coming off their first loss in five games and a suspension of Duncan Keith imminent on this off day, who better to provide some levity than bearded comedian David Cross?
There be no shelter here. The front line is everywhere.
The main attraction- distraction, got you number than number than numb. Empty ya pockets son; they got you thinkin’ that what ya need is what they sellin’, make you think that buyin’ is rebellin’. From the theaters to malls on every shore, the thin line between entertainment and war.

And now the scene shifts westward with the Hawks taking a 2-0 series lead onto Figueroa Ave. Sunday’s Game 2 loomed large at the time, as the Kings have yet to lose on home ice this post season, and have won 14 straight at Staples. Based on that, this series is still far from over, as it could very well be tied heading into the weekend. Had the Kings taken one on United Center ice, this could very quickly have looked like an imminent 3-1 hole for the second straight series. But that, they say, is why they play the games.
“You gotta hear this one song, it’ll change your life, I swear”
Yes, perhaps the most ridiculous line from one of the more self-indulgently obnoxious movies of recent memory (Garden State) was about the band of today’s beard- lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter James Mercer of The Shins. And though the statement is hyperbole uttered by a kiddie-pool depth character in the movie, the sentiment certainly isn’t far off base, as the consistently bearded Mercer has been putting out some of this generation’s finest pop for over a decade.
If you’ve got a vision, then I don’t want to see. If you’ve got a notion, Don’t waste it on me. If you’ve got the answer, then I don’t want to know.
Lean on me while I lean on you, if we destroy each other we might save a life or two. A little sun, a little shine separates us both by forever and a day.
