Curse You and Your Meaningful Lyrics

Well c'mon darlin'
The stars are burning bright
C'mon now darlin'
Our luck is good tonight -
'Cause we're the all time winners
In the all time loser's game
Yea we're the all time winners
And here we go again

The king & queen of America...

Yea it's the king of nothing
And the queen of rage
With a pile of confusion
Upon a glittering stage
You know we never did anything
To make ourselves feel proud
You know we never did anything
So let's play it loud
Let's hear it for the -

King & queen of America...

So c'mon darlin'
There's a big moon in the sky -
We're gonna build
A little satellite -
We're gonna make it fly...
We're gonna send it up to heaven
All the way up to the stars
And all of them aliens
Are gonna find out
Who we are -
We're talkin' 'bout the

King & queen of America

Shut Up You Moron

So John Key was on Letterman last night and had this to say about New Zealand:

"Unlike the rest of world, we still like Americans"


Speak for yourself, dickhead

Americans Are STUPID

Paul McCartney Voted 'Best Beatle'

And dear GAWD some of the comments from people are ludicrous. Paul's "gotten better with age"? REALLY???


Retarded

RIP Patrick Swayze

How many more great icons of the great '80s must be taken before you are pleased, oh great gods of the '80s?



Yet another one gone. A man that brought joy to almost everyone I know with his fantastic roles in Dirty Dancing, Ghost, Road House and Donnie Darko (OK that last one didn't exactly bring joy, but he was still awesome in it). A man that I never read a bad word about - a true rarity in Hollywood. A man that fought through to the end and showed great courage.

What will it take, oh great gods of the '80s, for you to stop stealing the ones we admire? I can only hope you are preparing for an eternal 80's party in the afterlife, so Swayze and MJ are now working on some dance steps.

So long, Patrick Swayze. May you always live on in your work.
And when you tell me to choose love instead of fear, or to not put baby in the corner, I say "Ditto"

Happy Beatles Invasion Day!

So today is the day The Beatles launch their assault on the world again, with the re-release of their music and their own branded Rock Band game - complete with, of course, Paul McCartney replica bass. I'm not sure if others agree, but considering you are supposed to be playing guitar in the game, I don't get why you should be using a replica of the bass players instrument. Just saying.

Anyway, I was wondering why they would have chosen the whole 09.09.09 and decided that it was most likely due to how cool that date really is. But figured I should check out The Beatles history to see what other events may have occurred on the 9th day of September in years of past...

1946 - Billy Preston is born. OK so he wasn't really a Beatle, but that is still significant. I think we can all agree that The Beatles probably would have disintegrated a year earlier had he not been brought in to jam. And his piano playing on John Lennon's God is nothing short of awesome.

1965 - Broadcast of a performance for The Ed Sullivan Show. I wonder what they played...

1966 - Eleanor Rigby hit number 1. Something else that was sure to make Paul happy.

1968 - Takes 4-21 of Helter Skelter recorded. THAT must be why they chose the 9th - 41st anniversary of the insane Helter Skelter jam that lasted something like 25 minutes. I'd celebrate that!

1971 - US Release of Imagine album. Hells yeah to that!

Wow - the next few on the list are concerts that Paul did. What the hell? Does he just always do stuff on this day every year? Because other than the release of Imagine and Billy Preston's birthday, EVERY event is Paul McMarketing centred!

That settles it; I plan on buying the box sets, but I will have to wait until a day that means something in Beatles history.

Of course people should know I jest on this, as John Lennon felt something very mystical about the number 9 in his life so it is probably fitting that they released everything today. But I certainly don't have a spare $1000 sitting around to buy both those box sets, so I'll keep pretending it is some sort of protest against Paul or something...
