The News Ain't News Anymore . . .


When I think of the U.S. media these days, this is kind of the impression I have of all of them -- doesn't matter, Fox, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NYTimes, LATimes, blah, blah, blah.

Pretty sad if one cares to think deeply enough about it.

A Voice From the Great Beyond . . .

June 22 is almost 2 months away. What significance does that date have? For most people -- none whatsoever. For me, it's the day the voice of sanity, honesty, and general in your face prickishness died. I speak of George Carlin. Goddamn man we miss your insight and dedication to un-pulling the wool over people's eyes.

RIP pal.

When it comes to rock music, the term "power ballad" is quite dependent upon the definitions of "power" and "ballad" that the person speaking of such term has.

When I hear the term "power ballad" one song comes to mind instantly and without question -- The Scorpions "Still Loving You".

Perform this simple exercise -- separate the two words "power" and "ballad", look up the definition of each word in the dictionary, then listen to this song -- you'll not have to ponder the meaning of the term ever again.
