Art can be found in any medium–but Ramen Noodles? Someone was inspired to immortalize Robert Plant in ramen…at least until the hunger set in.

On a recent episode of “World’s Dumbest Criminals”, they showed a clip of a drunk driver who ran from the police. The driver t-boned another car (hit it in the side), and his truck then burst into flames. The segment was titled “T-Bone Burn-ett”.

Jerry Miller has had a long and varied career in the music business. We are probably most familiar with him as a member of Moby Grape, a band whose songs Robert has sung live for years. Miller also performed with the Bobby Fuller Four, who had a huge hit with “I Fought the Law” in 1965. In 2003, Miller was #68 on Rolling Stone’s list of 100 greatest guitarists of all time.

Currently, Miller is living in a hotel after losing all his possessions on January 8, 2008. His home in Pacific, WA was flooded when too much water was released from an upstream dam. Miller had time to save only Beulah (his guitar), an amp and his dog. Along with all his personal items, Miller lost 40 years of music memorabilia that was priceless–including recordings of shows, and photos of Miller with musicians from Hendrix to Robert Plant.

Miller must now replace his belongings as well as find a place to live. He must basically start over. If you would like to help Jerry Miller, there is a flood fund set up so that you can do just that. Donations are handled trough PayPal. You can read more about the flooding and how to donate at Jerry’s website. Give him a hand if you can.

The funny search strings are still kind of sparse which is a good thing. Most people lately are finding the site by searching for information about Raising Sand: song lyrics, appearances, reviews, etc. I like to see lots of searches focused on Robert’s musical projects. It means the music is grabbing people’s attention and they want more!

Alan Toussaint, who penned “Fortune Teller” from Raising Sand will be appearing at the Paramount Theater on November 15. The Charlottesville, VA has a nice little article that outlines some of Toussaint’s other hits as recorded by others.
