Bill Withers

Some Bill Withers videos and an interview.










Ok bed time.

Sinead O'Connor

Remember when Sinead tore the picture of the Pope on SNL, and people were wacked out. Well she was right he was turning a blind eye to the child abuse going on at the time. Well thats old news but here are some videos of her which some are new to me and some not but I like.
Mother Pink Floyd Cover - Sinead with Roger Waters (one of my favorite male vocalists) with Levon Helm from The Band (top 5 song The Weight)after the Berlin wall fell. I saw some of this Cindi Lauper sang as well as The Scorpions.
Haunted - Duet with Shane McGowan of the Pogues, another original voice.

Thank You - For you churchies this was covered by David Crowder and played as a part of worship music at some churches.

I Believe in You - Had to post Eddie Izzard introduces her

3 degrees of Glenn Campbell (Jimmy Webb)

R.E.M. Galveston and Witchita Lineman with interview parts.

The Highwaymen - The Highwayman

Isaac Hayes - By the time I get to Phoenix

Art Garfunkel - All I Know

Generation Kill

Generation Kill is based on Evan Wright's, played by Lee Tergeson (from OZ), a reporter for Rolling Stone Magazine while he was embedded with the Marines First Recon during the invasion of Iraq. Like Band of Brothers war is not glamorized nor are the protagonists, in fact Marine Sargent Rudy Reyes plays himself. At first its hard to recognize the characters at first secondary to the crew cuts and fatigues. Alexander Skarsgård is a dead ringer for Brad 'Iceman" Colbert, the main protagonist, who I developed a man crush on, is the leader of Team One. James Ransone's is his driver, Cpl. Josh Ray Person. He is similar to the character Ziggy he played in HBO's The Wire. A non-stop stream of conscious speaker, hilarious at times and uncomfortable at others. What is presented as competent 'Grunts' who are surrounded by incompetent officers. There are some exceptions like Capt. America who is scarily incompetent. Here are some clips which do better than I do in explaining.


Here is the last scene with Johnny Cash playing over.


Four out of Four stars.

Worst Popular/Mainstream group

My friend Chris maintains the worst band that receives the best critical reviews is Steely Dan. While I don't particularly like them I don't distain them. My previous argument was ZZ Top primarily because of the whole Eliminator album (I don't mind some of their older stuff). My newest argument is The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Do you have a worst band? What say you?

What the hell

Seems like I do this every year at this time of the year and stop. Oh well, we will see how long this lasts. I am not so angsty or feel the need to rant and rave, but mainly post music videos if I can instead of bombarding facebook. I am perusing some drafts I didn't post, I don't know why I was doing some of them; I have one on Dr. Colossus from the Simpsons for some reason. But as the title of the post suggests "What the hell." (I use lower case cause I don't believe in a place called Hell (besides someplaces here on Earth), I think those are part of a song lyric. Oh God it's from an INXS song. No where to go but down from here. Sigh. :0)

Random thoughts while on ran

First a couple of highlights of my run 1.) no cramps 2.) two coyotes trotted past me about 20ft away which was cool 3.) Saw an owl 4.)John Denver's Farewell Andromeda (Welcome to My Morning) picked me up around the 12th mile, beautiful day.

I run in a relatively suburbia but there are farms around and running past a bunch of cows a thought popped into my head. What if everyone's religious beliefs were true? So I am thinking maybe some of these cows are reincarnated people (Hinduism+Buddhism) and others are just normal cows, not only hear but in India, and what if they have human thoughts. I wasn't thinking about the horrors of breeding but of the eating kind. Just can't imagine what they would be thinking or if they tried to talk to their non-reincarnated cows. It kept me entertained for a little bit. Maybe I'll lay off the red meat for awhile, also will keep my cholesterol down. :oP
