We just love it when there are people prepared to take the piss out of stuff. Even very seious stuff like terrorism. People are just so damn serious and can't take a joke. Perhaps that's why the world is in such trumoil. People can't have a laugh. Seems the religious people are particularly serious.
Oops, we forgot to blog about this really cool video. We're so forgetful sometimes. Anyway, whilst trawling about on YouTube we saw this very funny vid called "United Breaks Guitars." From what we understand, this guy was on a United Airlines flight going to a gig and when he looks out of his window he sees a member of staff just throwing is guitar case around as if it was just a bit of junk.
We have to say that we were pretty grossed out by the pictures of Madonna. Did you see her arms? WTF is she up to?! We think it's great to work out and all that but it comes a time when you just have to say enough is enough. We don't really like her work all that much anyway. She's too over rated. Lot's of our friends think she's amazing but we've never seen that appeal ourselves. We would like to see a bid more dignity thanks and don't appreaciate her cavorting about the satge like she does at such an old age.
This is the best story we've heard all week and realy made us laugh. It seems that that old fart called John McCain used Jackson Browne's song "Running on Empty" without permission. As if that wasn't a crime enough, Browne actually is a stong Obama supporter. Imagine waking up to find out that your song is being used by the Republicans. Browne certainly doesn't seem that Republican type - he's of the hippy era of course. Not to mention way too intelligent and sensitive.
We're so glad to have moved away from our old house. We had this little boy who was awful at learning musical instruments. His parents kept buying him a different instrument year Christmas in vane hope that he'd master at least on of them. It started with the keyboard, then it was the guitar but the killer for us was the drum kit.
As long as it's the right sort of music and has been approved by ourselves, we reckon the music is excellent for the brain. We've been learning a number of new tunes on the ole guitar and find that we're having to work parts of our brains we never knew we had. (Of course this is all conjecture as we don't have our own CAT scanning unit to make sure.)
Anyhow, we both agreed that even simple little numbers like the riff on Bryan Adams' Summer of '69 gives us a really good mental workout. Never mind that brain training game on the Nintendo DS, it's an instrument you really want to play.

Why is it whenever you hear loud music coming out of a car it's always some complete dork who has the combined intelligence of a kumquat and a pickled egg? Actually we should go one step further and rather than banning the loud stereos, just shoot the bastards who use them. That we we'd clear up a large percentage of crime. There is talk of immigrants causing crime sprees, but we reckon it's these feckless bums who are causing most of the problem.
We can't describe how bored we are with everything that surrounds the Beetles. Paul McCartney is doing the rounds again by appearing on Letterman. Oh go away and let other people into the limelight. We're sick to death of you.
You were always the worst Beatle in our opinion and the only reason the Beatles ever were successful was because of Lennon. You didn't have much of a career after the Beatles split but Lennon did fantastically well until his life was cut so short.

Poor old Farrah Fawcett. She dies and hardly a person in the world notices her death. She instead has been somewhat overshadowed by the death of Michael Jackson who is an accused paedophile. We love his music of course, it's pretty infectious. But there has been a tad much about him. Everywhere you look there's TV shows, blog posts, books, magazine articles and fashion accessories with his image on. I even heard that MJ Halloween costumes have all sold out. We are wondering how many people are going around looking like MJ at the next fancy dress party.
