11 July 2011: it's... 1986
« on: July 11, 2011, 09:29:12 AM »
No clues as of 9:30am -- but Scott Fisher posted Rascall Flatts' tribute to Caylee Anthony on AL's page.  ::) Yuck.

I've got 10:00 meetings today AND tomorrow -- for your sakes I hope this week is an improvement.

I've tried my hardest to avoid commenting on this story, but needless to say, I officially hate cable news now.

How about Weird Al Yankovic's "Headline News"?

TOTHK, Big Time Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel.  uh... the video for this Sledgehammer raised the bar, but I can't recall the vid for BT.  :)

HM to (I'm a Real) Wild One. I know this song, but not who does it.

"A new heavyweight champeen, Michael Tyson!"  

Smithereens, Blood And Roses. A real rock and roll dirge bass line.

This set's kinda boring, and I'm sad to be reminded that "Big Time" et al are 25 years old.  TANC: I referenced that "big words" line on FB recently when Christiane Amanpour was derided for using a big word on TV.

I saw the video for that.  kudos to her for not dumbing things down, but I suspect some of the pundits at that table were thinking "WTF does that word mean?  I hope she doesn't call on me.."  but context clues made it easy to assume it was a positive thing.

Robert Cray keeps up the underwhelmingness of it all.

Was this fairly recent? I tried wiking it to no avail.

It's scary that Nancy Grace is taken seriously by anybody. Actually she's just scary to look at period.

If you've heard one Robert Cray song, you've heard them all.

BOS by default to an unusually perky Chrissie Hynde on "Don't Get Me Wrong."

Hit the news last week.  The word was "perspicacious" and ABC news ran a graphic showing the definition underneath it:

The Bangles' Greatest Hits should be a part of every pop fan's collection.

I'm off to work; later!
