The Cuervo Gold. The Fine Columbian. The Missile Defense Strategy.

Here's a weird one for you. Apparently, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, formerly of Steely Dan and Moody Blues fame, is now some sort of anti-terrorism / missile-defense superfreak.

"We thought turntables were for playing records until rappers began to use them as instruments, and we thought airplanes were for carrying passengers until terrorists realized they could be used as missiles," says Mr. Baxter, who sports a ponytail and handlebar mustache. "My big thing is to look at existing technologies and try to see other ways they can be used, which happens in music all the time and happens to be what terrorists are incredibly good at."

Someday, I'm going to write an action movie. Maybe not any time soon, but someday. And someone like this is either going to be the hero or the villain. Holy crap.
