...For The Ride Home: Pennywise gets in a fight, Britney Spears on 'Glee' and possible future 'SNL' hosts

Just can't get this song out of my head. Damn, that CD is infectious. Hello, hello. Welcome to Tuesday. Did you get your early-day dose of sun burn yet? You really ought to, you know. Big night tonight. Why, you ask? Well, that's because the United States meets Brazil on at the Meadowlands for the team's first match since the World Cup. It shall be interesting to see who Bob Bradley plays. Will he continue his predictable formation from the World Cup with the same, predictable players? Or will he experiment a little with some of the younger stars because it's a friendly? Come on, Bob. Landon Donovan can't stay young forever. Also tonight, we see the first double-digit day of August. Where did all the time go, we ask. Soon enough, it will be Autumn, the leaves will change, the nights will get longer, the weather colder and depression sets in. Whoa. That was a dark sentence. Anyways, before we can sink into the seasonal sadness, we must celebrate the summer evenings we have now, and to do that, you really ought to start it off right with a peak at a link or two below. Besides, summertime = happytime. Damnit.
