MP3 of the Day

Martin Sheen was born Ramon Estevez on this day in 1940. The son of a Spanish immigrant, Sheen was the seventh of 10 children. He moved to New York after high school and began pursuing an acting career while working as a janitor. His film and TV career has included numerous political roles, including one of my very favorites as fictional U.S. president Josiah Bartlett on the TV series The West Wing. Previously, he played Robert Kennedy in the TV movie The Missiles of October (1974), John F. Kennedy in the miniseries Kennedy (1983), and the White House chief of staff in The American President (1995). Sheen is also the father of Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen. Today we have a live version of When The President Talks To God by BRIGHT EYES. Happy Friday!

Nice! Bright Eyes is great. I didn't like Cassadaga as much as some of the older stuff. Less emotion. Fav song from Cassadaga was Hot Knives, but it sounded like his mouth was too close to the microphone or something. Does Tullycraft listen to Park Ave.? It's the pre-Bright Eyes Conor Oberst project and it was some nice indiepop. Anyway, now I'm rambling. Kind of.
