Beach Boys Plan Anniversary Blowout With Likely Reunion Tour Lost album 'Smile' to be released in November

In Capitol Records' giant Studio A in Los Angeles this summer, the surviving Beach Boys – Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston – gathered around a microphone and, for the first time in two dec­ades, harmonized on a track. The song was, appropriately enough, a rerecording of their stomping 1968 hit "Do It Again." "Even the veteran sound engineers were moved," says Jardine. "Not all of us are left, but there are still enough of us for that vibration to come through." Read more at www.rollingstone.com

Let's Bail Them Out - Then Sue Them!

Let's settle for 10cents on the dollar and show the World that we mean business! You can't sue Congress who started this mess way back when, so let's go after the heavy hitters who made all of these bad loans Congress encouraged them to make. Yes, they are to blame, but the list of wrong doers in the collapse of the Housing Market, goes well beyond this list!!

One of the most common mistakes made by first-time property investors is submitting an unrealistically low offer, according to the ERA survey. Thirty-one percent of respondents said lowballing on the price is a first-time buyer’s most common misstep. Meanwhile, 23% said that the most common mistake was not calculating maintenance expenses versus rental income.

With rents on the rise, property prices at or near lows and favorable financing terms, more Americans are thinking it’s time to buy a rental property. Read more at www.marketwatch.com

Smart Sensible Plan For Depressed Housing Market!

Finally, someone with a street smart, common sense plan to revive the housing

market. I've said all along that the only way to get the housing market back to stability is to loosen regulations and give the Investor an incentive to make a difference in the market. The only downside I see however, is with the Banks and Lenders, who up till now are the one's calling the shots. Without a "You Must Do This or else" clause in the bill, this program will do down in failure, just like all the rest!! RIP!!
