A favorite song to sing by most anyone over the age of 35 is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Sing it loud and proud in the car on the way to work or at a bar after a few shots or well…you get the idea.
But how about this? Four violins doing all the parts?
Freakin’ awesome!
Here I am leaving Houston today for my class reunion back in Missouri. Usually Houston is much hotter than back home. But likely not this summer for this trip.
With the East Coast heat wave this last weekend, every state in the union has seen record high temperatures this month — Delaware was the last to fall to the heat.
Record highs have outpaced record lows by a ratio of five to one: There have been 2,068 record high daily maximum temperatures in the United States, 1.5 percent of all the measurements. There have been only 380 record low minimum temperatures, 0.3 percent of the readings. More remarkably, and consistent with the expected effect of higher greenhouse gas concentrations, nights have been even warmer — 4,638 record high daily minimum temperatures were recorded, 3.4 percent of all readings. There have been only 638 record low daily maximum temperatures, 0.5 percent of all readings:
But according to a man with no science background or education this heat is a government conspiracy!
Astronomers have discovered the largest and oldest mass of water ever detected in the universe — a gigantic, 12-billion-year-old cloud harboring 140 trillion times more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined.
The cloud of water vapor surrounds a supermassive black hole called a quasar located 12 billion light-years from Earth. The discovery shows that water has been prevalent in the universe for nearly its entire existence, researchers said.
Over the last couple weeks I haver Tweeted and posted on Facebook how much I have missed Whataburger during my “no starch” diet this month.
I finally broke down a week ago and got a #5 with grilled onions, extra/extra/extra pickles and a sweet tea.
But Karl and Carol Hoepfner make my love of Whataburger look lame.
The husband-and-wife team have made it their mission to visit every single one of the 722 Whataburger locations in the United States. They’ve made through 225 of them and aren’t looking to slow down any time soon.
Really? Didn’t this creep go away once?
Glenn Beck is a huge ass. There I said it. He lost his TV gig and his radio gig because he’s a huge ass. He’s a liar in the top tier of great liars in history.
He enjoys making up the news. That makes him a liar.
One of his favorite ways to tell lies and make up the news is to compare everything to the Nazis and Hitler. Yeah, it’s not very creative but then creativity takes a brain.
He compares everyone to Hitler who he doesn’t understand or agree with (usually smart people). As Lewis Black tells us “GLENN BECK HAS NAZI TOURETTES”
Glenn – who has had to begin his own radio “network” to keep his ignorance available for his followers – spoke out about the mass killings in Norway on his Monday radio show.
What was it he said about them? He now has compared, according to The Huffington Post, those children who have been killed by the anti-Muslim murderer in Norway “Hitler Youth”.
Friends and I have discussed how odd it is candidates for anything and everything are being asked to sign pledges. It’s hard to keep up with them all.
And it’s especially frutrating when, after a candidate signs a pledge, their constituents realize that the bad things they were asking them to pledge will actual effect THEM. You know like losing their Social Security or Medicare or J=O=B.
So I was thrilled when Bill Mahar made up his own really stupid pledge to have candidates sign.
My cats are indoor cats. Their outdoor experience consists of a couple hours on the patio with me in the mornings before the temp reaches unbearable. Wed I slept in and didn’t get them outside until after the sun started hitting the concrete. They went out…turned around and came back in.
A few friends have been telling me how their dogs are keeping cool – laying in their water dishes, sleeping on the A/C vents and the like.
I saw this video on CNN early this morning and wanted to share this horses joy.
I am sooo not a fan of rap. Half the time I can’t understand what they’re saying and the other half I can and am disgusted.
Having said that…I thought this was pretty cool.
Jimmy Falon and Justin Timberlake give props to the culture and music with THE HISTORY OF RAP performance on Jimmy Falon Live [Wednesday, September 29, 2010]. The Roots do the backup music and Jimmy and Justin do an IMPRESSIVE performance.
I’m out of breath just watching.
And I bring this video up now after a year because last night they did part two!
Nashville Scene magazine just published its always hilarious “You Are So Nashville If . . .” list featuring reader submissions finishing that statement, including “You got season tickets to the Nashville Predators games just to see Carrie Underwood up close,” “You stopped listening to country music after Gerry House retired” and “You loudly oppose the selling of WRVU, but never listen to it.”
Last year, the Scene piece inspired Stark Country to do a “You are so Music Row if . . . ” list with some awesome submissions from all corners of the industry, including this one from songwriter and Country Music Hall of Famer Bobby Braddock: “You get run over by a train because you just didn’t hear it.” This year, we’ve narrowed the topic down to just radio. The following submissions come via Facebook, and answer that burning question “You are so radio if . . . ”
