* Summer is flying by, so a bit of boat and State Fair time is in order I think. Have a wonderful weekend.

More people are buying classified ads and calendar posts over at InsiderzExchange, and you should too. The site even has a big new sponsor this week. Go check it out.

* You may have seen this story in today’s Morning Shorts…

Sam Carter lost consciousness after contracting severe anaemia but was brought back to life when “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” was blared into his ears.

The anthem was the first single the retired baker from Stoke in Staffordshire ever bought, released in 1965 when he was just 17.

Despite only being given a 30 per cent chance of survival, he woke from his coma after his wife Eva, 65, took the doctor’s advice and played him his favourite tunes through a set of earphones.

Pretty darned cool. If I’m ever in a coma and you want to attempt to revive me with a Stones tune, try this one, but turn it way up first…


Well I never kept a dollar past sunset,
It always burned a hole in my pants.

* And if that doesn’t work…


Ain’t flinging tears out on the dusty ground
For all my friends out on the burial ground
Can’t stand the feeling getting so brought down
