Three notes for your consideration:- Based on this story, I think I’ve come up with the next “Reality TV” series (oh OK, I’ll be fair...they were talking about this on WXPN radio this morning)…
“Celebrity Sanitation,” where a bunch of washed-up stars have to drag themselves out of bed at 4 AM every day to haul waste (“OK, Flavor Flav, turn on the backup alarm; Lou Ferrigno, crush the trash in the compactor; Pamela Anderson Lee Rock (or whatever her name is), shake those cans” :- )
- DownWithTyrrany via Atrios informs us that Crosby, Stills, and Nash will be touring with Neil Young and echoing the message of Neil’s “Living With War,” so be warned…it’s going to be a kickass rock show with a message in part, and if you’re expecting a festival of classic rock standards and a nice, mellow time, you’re likely to be disappointed (and I APPLAUD THEM FOR IT!!).
Also, Patrick Murphy is mentioned in the nine-minute documentary you can view from DownWithTyranny (I'll check it out later).
- When you think of Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, The Drifters, Ray Charles, Big Joe Turner, Ruth Brown, Brook Benton, Solomon Burke, The Spinners, and MANY OTHER great musical acts, one name links them all, and that is Ahmet Ertegun, who, with his brother, Nesuhi, co-founded Atlantic Records in the late 1940s, the label for which these great artists recorded. Today is Ahmet’s 83rd birthday, so let’s all wish him well.
(Don’t worry; I’ll try to get back to bashing Dubya and company as soon as I can.)
