I Heart Roger Clark

Circuit City is giving away 100 Playstation 3s on Friday and Roger was on the scene chatting up the folks who've lined up outside the store (some since Sunday!) waiting for the chance to score one. As per the Clark Way, Rog's assortment of interviewees definitely kept things rolling: the guy who wants to sell the thing on Ebay, the kid who thinks the graphics are going to be good, and the Southern guy who just likes games. Kudos to Rog for getting the Red State vote on this important issue, but for a moment I felt like we had slipped into a Tennessee Williams play. In a moment of gravity, Clark compared the long lines to his salad days when he waited in line for David Lee Roth/Poison tickets in the freezing cold of the North Country (Syracuse). I guess there's no such thing as the kindness of strangers when it's 20 degrees out.

P.S. Clark is looking good these days! The two mile treadmill walks are paying off. I can see the remains of the Vendy Awards just melting away.
