This and That...
04.28.04 (6:15 pm)   [edit]
I read a lot. And a lot of what I read has to do with music. Here are some recent stories that I've found fairly interesting:

Those Kookie Brits. I have to admit that I found [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/en...]this story[/url] just a little bit startling. Don't get me wrong, I happen to think George Michael is a pretty UNDERrated guy, but the fact that he was recently named the MOST played artist on British radio over the LAST 20 YEARS just doesn't seem possible. Read the list. It's just plain nutty.

[url=http://www.billboard.com/bb/d...]This[/url] is for my hair-metal loving friend,[url=http://brogonzo.tblog.com] Brogonzo[/url]. This may put a crimp in their reunion plans. On the other hand,[url=http://www.billboard.com/bb/d...]his[/url] ought to make you very, very happy.

[url=http://www.billboard.com/bb/d...]Sigh.[/url] This is gonna be ugly. Honestly, I could write an entire rant right now about how tired I am of Kurt Cobain. I'm beginning to think that what they taught me in catholic school was wrong... the holy trinity is apparently made up of the Father the Son and Kurt Cobain. C'mon people. Get over it.

Now... [url=http://www.undercover.com.au/...]this[/url] is good stuff. I remember seeing [url=http://www.herald.co.uk/local...]Live Aid[/url] on television when it was originally broadcast. It's hard to believe, but that was nearly 20 years ago. (Feel old??). Pretty soon there were benefit concerts popping up all over the place for a variety of causes. I think people got burned out on the concept, and soon they disappeared. But now it's time to bring them back.... and I can hardly think of a better cause than HIV/AIDS. Kudos to the bands who are taking part.

I read a lot too, but usually I read political stuff. I do devour books though, love them. :) Glad that people like to read too, and that they have other interests than me!

I am very much into politics as well. I just write about music here... although sometimes they go hand in hand. Thanks for the comment! :)

feel glad that you are from Olympia, not Aberdeen. I know many, many people who are from Aberdeen and I'm told that when they mention the fact, they are often given a mini-lecture on the god, Kurt Cobain...mention his name, they sigh, then abruptly run and hide for fear that they may be asked to identify which house in the thriving metropolis of Aberdeen was where he grew up. YIKES...don't we have more important things to worry about??!!!

Have you forgotten that prior to moving to Oly, I lived in Aberdeen/Hoquiam for the better part of my childhood? I have walked on hallowed ground. :)

I'm not sure if I should yell, "I'M NOT WORTHY" or take off running and screaming, "Not another one." I'm starting to feel like I should take my shoes off when entering Aberdeen, holy ground and all. But, personally I think the town stinks enough as it is...I'll leave my shoes on. ;)

Well... anyone who has ever been to the Gray's Harbour area understands why Cobain was depressed. :)

OK, I've commented. I read a ton of books, but since I have a brain tumor, I can't remember half of what I read. I have found 3 copies of the same book I've bought - and didn't even realize I had read it before (and before) until I went to file it away in the bookcase... SUCH a dumbass!

Apparently you need your own personal shopper to remind you of what you have bought. I'm thinking a young hottie with a good.... why memory, of course. :)

Thanks for the shout-out, Jenn. I'm not to concerned about Motley Crue, I never really liked their stuff. The same goes for KISS et al. But I would hit up any Twisted Sister shows going on nearby.
