Reggaeton singer Nicky Jam (real name: Nick Rivera Caminero) has had five top-selling albums – his sixth, Insomnio, was released September 6 – and seven top-ten hits on the Latin music chart. Three of those singles went to number one. At a Friday night rally in Las Vegas, a dumb dodo (whom I will not name) introduced him as "Latin music superstar Nicky Jam. Do you know Nicky? She’s hot."

Oy vey!

His name is Nicky, like Welsh soccer player Nicky Adams, Welsh rugby player Nicky Robinson, character actor Nicky Katt, rock pianist/organist Nicky Hopkins, Christian evangelist Nicky Cruz, Westlife vocalist Nicky Byrne and Enya's music producer Nicky Ryan. And regardless of his name, Nicky Jam does not look like a "hot" woman. He doesn't look like a woman at all! No further questions, your honor.

I'm not sure where else to put this, but this seems about right.

Through the magic of the internet, I found what year I went to this concert:

That night, I bought this T-shirt

It's now old and crappy, and I only throw it on as part of my random rotation of things to wear around the house. A couple of times, I've made the mistake of wearing it to the local barber shop, where my 70-year old barber woman says (each time) "Oh, I love Jeff Beck!". I think the first time I tried to clarify that - while I also love Jeff Beck - this was "Beck", of "Loser" fame; which yielded a blank look. So the next time, we just talked about Jeff Beck.

Well today, I was taking my lunchtime walk down our street with our dog Tali, when a Consolidated Communications (Fidium) bucket truck came up over the rise in the road, aimed right at us. So the dog and I got turned around, and headed back to the house. But the truck followed us to the cul-de-sac, and after turning around, the driver opened his window. He was trying to find a road in the area, where the "north" part comes off one street, and the "south" part comes off a different street.

Anyway, after clearing that up, he put the truck in gear, and just as he was ready to head out, says (with a big smile) "I like your shirt!". Of course, I had to look down to remember what I was wearing, and sure enough, it's the Beck shirt. And then he says "That's Glenn Beck, right?" As he started to pull away, I was laughing so hard I could only say "uh, no", wave, and then walk back down my driveway. WTF!?
