December 23, 201014 yr Well, I'm a liberal, as liberal as can be. HOWEVER, after living with my dad for quite some time, I've grown to kind of enjoy FOX news. Shame on me! Sheppard Smith cracks me up, Bill O'Reilly is just insanse, and Jonathon Hunt is the dreamest newscaster ever. However, I will not, I repeat, will NOT watch Glenn Beck. I have to draw the line somewhere!
December 23, 201014 yr Smith is one of the better anchors out there..... but he cracks you up? I don't know if he has ever made ne crack a smile.
December 23, 201014 yr Just the Bear Alert thing, and little things he says make me laugh. Maybe I have a warped sense of humor!
December 23, 201014 yr I love the real housewives series, except for DC. I don't watch them, but I read about the BH ladies, and I can remember watching one of them (Frazier's wife) dancing on Club MTV back in the 80's. She was smokin!
December 23, 201014 yr I love the real housewives series, except for DC. I don't watch them, but I read about the BH ladies, and I can remember watching one of them (Frazier's wife) dancing on Club MTV back in the 80's. She was smokin! The BH housewives are fabulous. Although Lisa's house is for sale. We drove past it, over the Thanksgiving weekend. It's beautiful. If I had the money, I would buy it just for her closet. Camille....that heifer is still smoking - crack! I love watching her relationship unravel. I'm still tripping she thought the condo at 15 Central Park West (one of the priciest and nicest buildings in NY) was too small for her taste. I looked a few units in that building and 4k sq ft is not small especially for abuilding that was built old school style. I just wish they had more diversity on the show as Mauricio is not enough.
December 23, 201014 yr Scarlett.... yum. My wife would have to give me "a pass" for her. Anyone care to make an admission in this thread that you don't think she is (...cultural blasphemy coming...) foxy? I'll go ahead and pull the trigger on this one. Her boobs are too big (if you're into boobs, I guess she's gold). Her nose is too small as well (I like girls with more prominent noses). She's not bad-looking by any means, just not what I usually find attractive (and I know I'm in the minority on this one). I also don't see the appeal of Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox. I think most of "hottest celebrities" pale in comparison to what you can find in the real world. Hollywood is a lot of illusion. A lot of famous people look just like everybody else. I don't understand these "hotness" rankings. I've seen Hillary Duff ranked higher than her sister. Haylie Duff (pre-nose job) was much cuter.
January 1, 201114 yr Cultural blasphemy hmm... Nicki Minaj! You know I've listening to her CD for the past couple days? Corruptive rap music I shouldn't be listeninng to: Eminem, DJ Khaled Mixtapes Cam'ron and Young Jeezy and much more. I grew up on rap. Hell juxtaposed to that though, someone had me download basically every Glee Music song to put on their iPod and I've been listening to that lately. I really have weird taste in music. Good music is good music to me, no matter who the artist or the genre. I wouldn't get hooked on a show like "Real Housewives" or "Jersey Shore" but on the seldom occasion that I do watch tv, I'll make sure I watch enough of it to where I can make fun of it for future pop culture references. I don't knock it when people watch reality shows, they can be pretty entertaining sometimes, even if they're fake. I never thought I'd get into this vampire phenomenon but I do love True Blood. That, Weeds and Family Guy (along with History Channel and Travel Channel stuff like Pawn Stars, Ghost Hunters and American Pickers) are about the only thing on tv I get into. I really hate getting into Drama Series on tv because it's just too much to keep up with. Some of the best tv shows out there are very well made but they're an hour long and there's several seasons you would have to catch up on. I slept through Star Wars. Never seen any of them besides some of the first one. To be honest, I think I've watched more of Spaceballs than Starwars. Now that I think about it, I think I appreciate spoofs more than the real deal. Meet the Spartans was more fun to watch than 300, for me. You guys might think I'm crazy but I think Julia-Louis Dreyfus (the mom on Weeds) is hot as hell. She doesn't have much of a body but I love that chiseled face. MTS' said he loves that character, "Pam" on "True Blood" I'd have to agree for different reasons. Yes, one of my celebrity crushes is a VAMPIRE. That's one vampire that can bite into my neck any time!
January 1, 201114 yr It's nearly midnight on New Year's Eve and I'm home alone updating spreadsheets, sober and with no music, no TV, no radio. And I'm completely OK with that. I may gra .... [interruption for a midnight ride] ... I took a notion to hop on my old Raleigh roadster and cruise downtown so I could see the fireworks at the ballpark at midnight. It's 54F, no wind, with an off-and-on light rain. The fireworks show was pretty good, with a nice noisy finale. No traffic; most of the drunks are still workin' on gettin' drunker, and the ones that want to go home can't remember where they left their cars. They're the only ones that are a hazard; despite my regular light and a bright white flashing LED, a couple of them walked right in front of me and with wet brakes I barely avoided running them down. I'm home safe and sound and a little damp. It was a short ride, but an appropriately environmentally-conscious way to bring in the new year, so I guess I'm not as big a cultural blasphemer as I try to be.
January 1, 201114 yr I admit, I induldged last night with the CLASSIEST people in Lakewood. Feel good this morning, so I'm not complaining. Got a cup of coffee, getting ready to go into work.
January 3, 201114 yr You guys might think I'm crazy but I think Julia-Louis Dreyfus (the mom on Weeds) is hot as hell. She doesn't have much of a body but I love that chiseled face. I think you meant Mary-Louise Parker, Julia-Louis Dreyfus was Elaine on Seinfeld. I agree MLP is hot as hell, in a plain jane girl next door kind of way.

January 4, 201114 yr ^Eww Speaking of which, does anyone else watch Weeds? I just finished watching the end of Season 6. Jeez, that show got crazy at the last episode! I wanna know what happens next! Ugh! I hate cliff hangers.
January 4, 201114 yr Don't tell me anything. I haven't watched any of the last season yet. The first season was the best when she was just the weed dealing housewife in the private community of Agestic CA. Did I metion again that she is hot?
January 4, 201114 yr I'm not going to give any spoilers, just saying the plot gets way more complicated and the last episode of season six is really intense. Thank God they're doing a season 7. I agree, the first season was great, that's really what got me hooked but it's worth it to finish out watching the rest of the seasons! Season 5 was kinda boring. Season 6 gets a LOT better. It's hilarious! The stuff they do to come up with money. Andy and Doug are my favorite characters. You see them a lot in season 6.
January 5, 201114 yr I'm hooked on Hoarders! That show is a mess. Literally. Holy Jesus that guy in Streetsboro was a piece of work! Makes me want to sell my rental properties tomorrow... For any non-Hoarders addicts out there, this guy had 30+ rabbits in his rental house, and they ate through the drywall in numerous places. Meanwhile this passive-aggressive loser and his SSI-receiving wife sit on their ample asses and let inches of rabbit shit cover every surface in the house while he plays games on his computer and uses the phone to call his wife in the other room. The other featured hoarder was an equally vile dentally-challenged hillbilly from southern Illinois who hoarded chickens, ducks, and goats in horrendous conditions. I can't even watch next week's rat episode...
January 5, 201114 yr I can only keep track of a couple shows at a time; as far as reality shows the only ones I ever watch are American Pickers, Ghost Adventures and Pawn Stars. Between catching those when I can, Weeds and True Blood, I just don't have the time or energy for anything more. I watched a preview of hoarders though, just now, on Youtube. It's really hard to believe people live like that.

I loved how after the cleaned a portion of the house, bunnies started appearing out of the walls. Did you happend to notice the size of Gary's monitor? You have a gigantic monitor but your lazy ass cannot clean. Hanna was funny. I thought she was spunky! I'm going be old and cantankerous like her. Her family looked like inbred's. I was expecting the score for deliverance to start playing at any moment!

January 18, 201114 yr - I think people who think the Beatles are overrated know absolutely nothing about music. - I love indie dance music, although I don't dance. - I'll watch anything with Jason Statham. - I don't have a dishwasher, disposal and until this Christmas, didn't have a coffee maker (aside from a French press). - I'm not into sports. At all.
January 20, 201114 yr - I think people who think the Beatles are overrated know absolutely nothing about music. I think they're overrated. What am I missing? :? I like probably 2 Beatles songs and I think I've heard at least 50 of them. Before there was Justin Bieber and 'Nsync, there were The Beatles, imho :-P
January 20, 201114 yr ^you know nothing about music! lol The Beatles - Roll Over Beethoven http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
January 20, 201114 yr ^you know nothing about music! lol The Beatles - Roll Over Beethoven I just went through my iPod, it has 42 Beatles songs. The only ones I think I like are "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "I Saw Her Standing There." That's about it. You remind me of my dad, except he's stuck in the 70s and 80s instead of the '60s. I'm always telling him, like, "Dude cut your f-ing hair. What is wrong with you? Get some darker jeans." I hope I don't get stuck in the 2000s or 2010s though. They seem like terrible decades.
January 20, 201114 yr ^Ha, 1999-2003 culture makes me barf. What's a shame is that I should have fond memories of that stuff because I was in college then. It just sucked that bad.
January 20, 201114 yr ^^i suppose if there had actually been some decent music after the 60's I wouldn't be "stuck" in that era :-( http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
January 20, 201114 yr ^ There is always good music being made, you just got to adjust your bifocals and look a little harder for it... :P Although the Beatles are definately preferable to DanB's Doo-wop groups....
January 20, 201114 yr ^^i suppose if there had actually been some decent music after the 60's I wouldn't be "stuck" in that era :-( You need more exposure, there's always something good coming out. Not always a lot, though. Heck, the 90's had a big echo of the 60's, with its own unique spin/aesthetic. There has to be something there you'd like. Here's a 90's band that seems to me like what the Beatles may have sounded like in that era...kind of a shot in the dark but, as a Beatles fan, you might dig it:

Hah! :lol: I could picture EVillageDon and DanB starting a Barbershop Quartet :-D Speaking of having to sift through a lot of rock music to find anything good that's recent - The Black Keys are great. You guys should check them out. The Black Keys - Tighten Up

At all. In order to appreciate a certain era of music (or really, any era of pop culture, but I think especially music) is to understand what came before it, not since. When you do that, you realize how innovative bands like the Beatles or the Rolling Stones were. Or why The Doors or Jimi Hendrix were so controversial -- yes, I'm aware the Beatles and the Stones were controversial, but the Doors and Hendrix took it to another level. And when someone says they heard Led Zeppelin being played in a Cadillac, understand why that's so funny to anyone older than 40 years old. As I think of it, some movies should be viewed also by what came before them. For example, I didn't understand the big deal about Citizen Kane until someone explained to me that most movies before Citizen Kane were filmed as if pointing a camera at a stage play. Movies hadn't yet grown up to differentiate themselves fully from the stage, including the use of angles for dramatic effect, soundtracks to enhance emotional reactions, and a surprise at the end. In that same year were two other movies that took movie-making to another level: the Wizard of Oz and Gone With The Wind. But the onset of war, and the coming of the war propaganda films, set back Hollywood at least 10 or 20 years. So when a youngin' says: I don't get why ________ band/singer was such a big deal, listen to the music that came before them. Then listen to that "big deal" band/singer again and see why people who were your age back then heard it come on the radio for the first time said "wow!" The movie "Walk the Line" about Johnny Cash does a good job of portraying this. Johnny Cash is in the recording studio playing the everyday music that everyone else was hearing and has since forgotten. The board engineer challenges Johnny to play something memorable. And then comes this innovative sound and voice that's "sharp like a razor, steady like a train." It's a sound that many have tried to duplicate since, but you can always tell when it's actually Johnny Cash being played. I may never buy a Johnny Cash song or album, but I appreciate and respect his talent, and what he did to move music forward with a new, innovative sound. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
January 21, 201114 yr KJP, I think that we have a couple of opinions being thrown out there on the Beatles. David thinks that they only have two or three good song, while I think they were tremendusly talented and influential, but undeserving of being head and sholders above other artists in a lot of people's musical heiarchies. I am student of pop music history and well read on the achievemnt and exploits of most classic rock artists. I understand that the Beatles originally cut their chops playing covers of early American RnR in Liverpool and Hamburg. Then Epstein clean them up and convinced them to wear suits and sing songs about holding hands...well you know the rest. I guess that my point is the Beatles get a lot of credit for things that were really an Arms Race musically between them, the stones, Dylan, the who, Brian Wilson and plenty of others. But the Beatles get a ton of extra credit because they were married to the Boomers collective psyche because of how huge they were during the intial British Invasion. Also music played a huge part in the rapid culture change in the second half of the 60's but then again I feel that a lot of people give music too much credit for causing the change rather than being a soundtrack/ product of the change caused by the draft, the huge demographic the boomers and their quest for their own idenity.
January 21, 201114 yr Apple made this HUGE deal over The Beatles being on iTunes. All this advertising and I'm certain it was featured on Apple's start page for about 5-7 days. It was like a new iphone came out.

I am not a super big fan of the Beatles, but I can see they are influential. They were part of a bigger scene, true. Music did change in the 1960s.
