Twitter is a helluva drug..


So it looks like everyone's favorite Pearl Jam fan and baseball analyst now has a twitter feed. Yup, you guessed it. Peter Gammons' goofball internet ramblings can now be found via @pgammo, on the Twitterverse. I know by now you must be thinking.."whoa, Marty, using words like "feed" and "twitterverse...you're such a techie", or, "you're an idiot" depending on how in to or annoyed you are by the e-social networking craze that has swept the world since around 2003. You may also be wondering, "Who the hell is Peter Gammons?"

So, here's my bone to pick. Those that wield any kind of persona or stature are usually "verified", as us plebians can see a little checkmark icon next to said famous persons' profile pic, with the words "verified account" listed next to the check mark. The good people of twitter have not yet "verified" 'ol Gammo's account. This has lead me to this conclusion: I'm not really sure what's more sad, me wondering why this account hasn't been "verified" or drawing the conclusion that someone would actually take the time to create a fake Peter Gammons twitter feed.

Well kids, I gotta run. it turns out that FRAG-LE actually learned how to play instruments and are playing a matinee show at Thunderbird Coffee, opening up for Bastard Noise. Yes, on a tuesday. FRAGI-LE, let me tell ya, they're a crafty bunch.

-Marty.
