The Day the Music Died

Generally around 1984, though a few edgy purists might argue content dictates an earlier date. Still others might suggest the industry's decades long cancer (greed), insured its demise all along.

1984. The year the digitally encoded compact disc, went prime time in America (though released a bit earlier). Today I stand silently with head bowed. For on Sunday, popular music was finally laid to rest, in pop music's former stomping ground, Los Angeles, California. During a circular, orgiastic pud pulling frenzy [billed as the Grammy's (at Staples Arena)].

On that day, the Dixie Chicks won five (count 'em). Five Grammy's. For service above and beyond, to the liberal community. For disrespect to America and its citizens. For ill mannered ranting about the President of the United States (while standing atop foreign soil).

At long last .... courtesy of the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Popular recorded music has been given its final sendoff.

So Long/R.I.P.





Metal band Slayer wins Grammy for anti-war song

LOS ANGELES (Feb 12, 2007): Speed metal band Slayer won the first Grammy of its 25-year career for ... "Eyes of the Insane." ...

The Iraq war and opposition to U.S. President George W. Bush has inspired a number of Grammy-nominat(ions) ... Neil Young's "Living with War" ... UB40's "Who You Fighting For." ...

(Former U.S. President) Jimmy Carter win(s) a Grammy Award in the spoken-word category... (the other nominees were Al Franken, Bill Maher, and Bob Newhart).



And surprise! The NYT's get all of it wrong, all of the time. (What's new)



Listen to those freakin' harpies the Dixie Chicks? Like everyone else, I spin the the radio dial if I hear them. Traditionally here in America, pop music has been an avenue of social and political defiance. Nothing new there. The difference is, some like me see the world a little differently in middle age. And being directly insulted does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Sides, this h'yar house cat got more talent in her two front paws, than them screechy alley cats with Bush Derangement Syndrome heat (and obviously a lot more heart and soul).

Live Coverage of the Death of Anna Nicole Smith

Hi, Wolf Blitzer here in the Sitz Bath. With continuing live coverage of the death of Anna Nicole Smith. Jack .... are you there?





Here Wolf.





What can you tell us down there in Florida?





My sources here tell me that she is still dead.





Really?!





Yes.





Any truth to the rumour that she was moved from one part of the morgue to another?





We've got some offers out on the street, for some phone-camera shots. But so far no bites.





That's a shame.





Yeah.





We've hearing some reports that she was deep cover CIA. Can you give us any information on that?





You'll have to ask Scooter, but I'm pretty sure Fitzgerald will want to indict him for that too.





So you're saying she was CIA then?





Wolf .... if we can butt in here for a minute?





Yes your Majesties.





Only one of her breasts was CIA, not both. Not every boob gets to be a big time famous party girl spy like wifey here.





He said Boob!















O.K. Ladies and Gentlemen, Please ... if we can get serious again?





Excuse me, who are you?





You don't recognize me? I'm the guy who has been giving you and Hillary BJ's, on the air live. Everyday for a while now.





Oh ... thought you looked familiar. But neither of us has won the nomination yet.





We're working on it. Listen, Mr. President while we have you here on satellite, would you comment on the rumours that you're going to undergo otoplasty soon?





What did you say?





Nothing.





Are you saying my ears are big?





No, didn't say a thing.





Thought that's what you said.





You want to talk big?





I think it's time for my nappy.





Excuse me .... I didn't hear that. Did you say something about my hair?





Jack, you want to help me out here?





Excuse me, who are you?





Joe? Valerie?





Gotta run Wolf, headed to Florida. We heard that Anna Nicole had some cake at a party before she died. We're going to interview the Hard Rock's pastry chef. On the phone he told us the cake had yellow frosting.




And in other news .... Anna Nicole: More Popular Than The War.


And .... lest any libs forget their mantra (do as we say, not as we do). A litle reminder.


And just a little more hard hitting news from (who else): Jack Cafferty, CNN Commentator: 2/09/2007 07:48:00 PM ET (same link as above).

Question:

What's the most dangerous thing you've seen someone do while driving?

Posted response (Ken, Baltimore, Maryland): I believe that listening to right-wing radio hosts is the most dangerous thing a driver can do...it surely renders you mindless.

CNN .... the most trusted name in shoes.

Roo-D! Roo-D! Roo-D!

Campaign '08 has gone mobile. Couple of days ago (in the space of twenty four hours). Presidential candidate (former Mayor) Rudy Giuliani, stole all thunder [though two days later ..... it seems like he is back under MSM radar (you fifth column beeotches go!). No matter, it is actual votes in a real election that count].

Unlike the ginormous herd of vacillating Dem candidates (it took years for Kerry to say he wasn't running), Rudy has defined all the dimensions and parameters of the campaign. In one day. With intertwining deft and bold strokes. An individual. A leader.

The newly elected Dems, despite all their insistence at being the new found glory and light. Continue to bask in sickening hypocrisy:

Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa. [the Pelosi ally (and) chair of the House military appropriations subcommittee], said he has spoken to Pentagon officials about the need to provide Pelosi with a bigger plane that can fly passengers coast to coast in comfort. But he denied pressuring the Pentagon. "I don't need to pressure them. I just tell them what they need to do,'' Murtha said.

Murtha said he is convinced the Pentagon has been leaking information about the possibility that Pelosi would use large military planes to make her look bad. But he said, "They're making a mistake when they leak it because she decides on allocations for them."

Yep, that's some sterling leadership there folks. Yes Siree.

P.S. Rudy and his Wife smooching? Get used to it :-)
