Is the lead singer's outfit during the concert scenes "flattering"??

In real life, would a hot little pixie like that really give the time of day to Mr. Prince Valiant Man??

Does the "story" inside the video make ANY sense??

I really do love all these songs, I have to admit....

Enjoy!!!!

You will be haunted by this....and by haunted I mean you will literally feel your mind atrophy into a fine, viscous goo.

Don't say you were never warned.....

Kentucky Fried Hillary!!!!

Just a country girl tryin' to do right.

Music cannot change the world, says Neil Young

Canadian folk rock legend Neil Young said he has lost all hope that music can change the world, as he presented a documentary about his 2006 anti-war concert tour at the Berlin film festival on Friday.

"I know that the time when music could change the world is past. I really doubt that a single song can make a difference. It is a reality," Young told reporters.

"I don't think the tour had any impact on voters."

I beg to differ, Mr. Young. In your old age you have become cynical. Where is the idealism of your hippie youth?

I am here to tell you that one song can change the world and that song is THIS!!!!!!!!

You Heard it Here First

Regardless of whoever wins the US presidency in November 2008, the gentleman on the right will definitely be a factor in 2012.

His name is Piyush "Bobby" Jindal and he is the governor of Louisiana.

The child of immigrants from India, he picked "Bobby" as a nickname after watching the Brady Bunch program at the age of four.

Only 36 years old Jindal, a Rhodes Scholar and former McKenzie & Associates management consultant, has already served as a US congressman an appointed commissioner over Louisiana's medicare program .

In college he became a convert to Catholicism. He is a pro-life, conservative Republican.

America, meet Bobby Jindal.

The Single Greatest Thing You Will Ever See!!!!

Bad Album Art Wednesday! So Bad they're Good!

Colonel Sanders presides over a "Tijuana Picnic"....a successful fusion of Mexican music and fried chicken.

It's fingerlickin' surreal!!!!

Bad Album Art Wednesday!

Mike Terry, a sort of Scottish, 2nd-tier, cut-rate Liberace.

I'm suprised that the got to a "Volume 1" let alone a "Volume 2".

Is it hard to play classical piano senadas whilst wearing medieval chain-mail armor?

Father of the Year

February 5, 2008 (Nassau, Bahamas) –

Recent Father of the Year winner Larry Birkhead and his daughter Dannielynn visited the grave of Anna Nicole Smith this last week in Nassau, Bahamas.

Luckily, by sheer coincidence, Entertainment Tonight was there to capture the heart-breaking moments for posterity.

A picture-perfect father and daughter looked resplendent as they made their non-exploitive visitations. This, in fact, is the the 17-month-old's first trip back to visit her mother's grave, one year after her mother's sudden death.
In an a multi-part interview to begin airing on Wednesday, February 6th, Birkhead says the visit is difficult for him, but he arranged it for his daughter.

"It's tough. Even though she doesn't understand, it was important for us to come. One day I can tell her that we went to visit her mom."

According to reporters, who just happened to be close by, when the Birkhead's arrived at the unmarked gravesite, Dannielynn placed a pink toy turtle on Anna Nicole's plot and whispered, "mama."

Frankenstein Poised to Win Republican Nomination

Nashville, Tenn (AP) Fresh from a series of impressive wins in South Carolina and Florida, Senator Frankenstein (R-Arizona) looks poised to sweep a majority of Super Tuesday primary states.

"Yeah, the neck bolts can be a tab bit distracting," said Margaret Hillsdale of South Cross, Tennessee during a Frankenstein rally at Vanderbilt University. "But when you add in Senator Frankenstein's foreign policy experience and military background you get an impressive candidate for the Republican side."

Although many conservative and evangelical Republicans are distraught about the idea of a Frankenstein nomination, with their base current being divided by the dual candidacies of Governor Pyle and Governor Just For Men, Super Tuesday looks pretty good for the formal naval war hero and Republican moderate.

TV is for Professionals, People!

The media format of live television is fraught with peril.

When it's live, better make sure you have seasoned professionals in front of the camera.

When you don't have seasoned professionals.....well, anything can happen.....

The link below is pure, 100% agony.

Prepare yourself.

Live TV Disaster!!!!

Bad Album Art Friday Part Five! The Worst of Bad Album Art!

Freddie's Gage's album "All My Friends Are Dead".

Bummer of a record, Freddie.

Well, at least you just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to Geico!

I believe Mr. Gage's first album was "There's A Growth on My Liver"?

Or maybe it was "Alzheimers Runs in My Family"??

Bad Album Art Friday Part Four! Sister of Bad Album Art!

Liebe Mutter and his epic album "Heino".

East Germany's huge mega-hit from the summer of 1982.

Warm, romantic standards set to cold, harsh Bavarian synthesizer music.

Now, it's time on Sprockets when he dance!

Bad Album Art Part Three! Return of Bad Album Art!!

Jim Post's seminal album "I Love My Life".

Sure the record label scoffed at first when Mr. Post presented the execs with his latest album art concepts, but when album sales soared past 150 in the Spring of 1975, high-fives were exchanged all around.....

Dudes, if you absolutely must have a walrus-esque handlebar mustache please make sure its at least well-groomed.....

Bad Album Art Friday Part Two! Son of Bad Album Art!

Strangely, the members of Orleans had a hard time finding any groupies on their Waking and Dreaming tour.....

Bad Album Art Friday!

John Bult's classic album "Julie's Sixteenth Birthday".

Wrong on so many levels.

Beer?

Check.

Half smoked Marlboro Red?

Check?

Lecherous leering gaze?

Double check.

Book of the Moment: The Ruins by Scott Smith

I love a good pulpy thriller. It's in my DNA.

I am currently reading Scott Smith’s The Ruins after stumbling upon the glowing review by none other than Stephen King on The Ruins Amazon review page.

Smith’s previous novel, his first, was A Simple Plan, a study in tension and duplicity, that was later made into an excellent movie with Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton.

Smith publishes a book every decade so when The Ruins came out I was excited.

The Ruins is the story of six guys and girls in their early twenties who, during a self-indulgent, booze-filled beach vacation in Cancun, decide, for no particularly good reason, to pack up and head off into the jungle for a little adventure.

During their stumble in the jungle, they mistakenly fall into what is quickly and clearly The Wrong Place To Be.

And then it gets increasingly worse from there.

The Ruins is fast-paced, scary, tightly-written, and believe me, horrifying to the extreme.

Anyone who has ever traveled freely and loosely in foreign locales will find elements of this book terrifying and oddly familiar.

It's already been made into a film coming out later in '08 produced by Ben Stiller, of all people. I am looking forward to it.
