viagra Smoke on the Water

I’m taking anon’s template for my music this year and just gonna post a few ramdomly found and uninteresting facts about music as they come to me or see fit.

The theme tune used for the radio, television, LP and film versions is “Journey of the Sorcerer“, an instrumental piece composed by Bernie Leadon and recorded by The Eagles on their album “One of These Nights“.
According to the official Bio and the h2g2 website Douglas Adams chose this song for its futuristic sounding nature, but also for the fact that it had a banjo in it, which, as one Biographer states Adams said would give the theme an “on the road, hitch-hiking feel.”

I am getting so tired of all the bru haha about all the celebrities that seems to flood our media now days. I remember when movie stars were only heard of out of their rolls on the occasional talk show and a couple of times of year during the award shows, thats all. now it seems that all we hear is what celebrity is going to rehab, which one is getting divorced, and who is seen at what club getting tanked. For example if I see “Queen Fat Ass” or what ever her name is on one more commercial I am going to Puke!. It seems she is the spokes person for about a dozen products. And I am so tired of hearing what how Brittney Spears (Initials BS, That Fits) is flipping out each week that I have contemplated doing my imitation of Elvis and pulling out my .38. And The Music industry Well that’s a whole new kettle of roting smelly putrid Babel Fish. I long for the days when musicians( remember when there were actual musicians) sang songs, protested the war and then went home and weren’t heard from until their next tour. Oh yeah you heard them occasionally on the radio when they passed thru your town and on the grammys and that was it. Now I know what M&M has for breakfast, what color under ware Justin Timberbozo wears on Wednesdays, and where Puff Diddy Daddy Flippy Fartty Sappy buys his toilet bowl cleaner. I also get tired of all these shows like extra this and inside that I sometimes wish for the eternal peace of a painful death by dragging thru broken glass rather than hear these shows again. Have we as a people become so enamored with all these “Plastic People” (FZ) that we have forgotten that there is a whole world around us that needs our attention because it is going to hell in a hand basket and if the public does not stop it nobody will. Oh Yeah I bet that is just what the government is counting on while we are worrying about Pamela Anderson and her husband of the minute are doing they can take away our freedoms and rights and unless Bono or George Clooney tells us about it we will never know. Now I know that all of us in the community are not sheep like that but the Person sitting at the desk next to you, or the lady in line at the market, or the nurse at our last or next Dr’s. appt is. So the next time some one interjects into a conversation that you are involved in “Did you see what Paris was wearing last night” feel free to either slap the poop out of that person, or disembowel them. Because they are definitely part of the problem. Hey I’m Just thinkin’ out loud.

As I was driving home a couple of days ago, I saw this new huge billboard with the following:

The first line was in huge capitol letters taking up most of the top half of the bill board – OKLAHOMA – In much smaller letters the following was proclaimed: “The electric guitar was invented in our great state.”……

I was always under the impression that the Electric Guitar was invented by Leo Fender in 1948 with the introduction of the “Broadcaster” – a Telecaster forerunner….. As much as I’d like to think that the home of the Electric Guitar is Oklahoma, I don’t think Leo was from Oklahoma….. I know that electric pick-ups for use in acoustic guitars have been around since the ’30’s, but, like I said, I thought Leo was first with the Electric Guitar….. Does anyone have further info on the origins of the most popular musical instrument of modern times?……

We’re talkin’ about moving and setting stones weighing tons without anything other than wood blocks, small stones, etc…. No Earthmoving equipment, backhoes, ditch diggers – none of the stuff you normally see on a construction site…..

“Wally Wallington has demonstrated that he can lift a Stonehenge-sized pillar weighing 22,000 lbs and moved a barn over 300 ft. What makes this so special is that he does it using only himself, gravity, and his incredible ingenuity”.

How did it get to be 2008 this quick?…… I guess it’s here and we can’t change that, so, we’ll just have to deal with it…… I haven’t made up my mind yet as to whether 2008 is going to be better or worse than 2007….. I’m leaning toward a better year for all, although, it was a nice cozy 14 degrees this morning at MR HQ….. A little on the ch-i-i-l-ly side for my taste….. Nice sleeping weather, but alas, the holidays are over and work calls…..

I meant to post this yesterday on the 1st, but, I was still recovering from my Seattle trip and just sorta let the day slip away….. It was a great get-away and Jek and associates were the perfect hosts as usual….. Again, time accelerated as it always does when I’m in the Great NorthWest, and it was over much too soon…. Again, welcome to a New Year!……

Merry Christmas to all, and, to all a “Good Day, eh?”…… I am enjoying Christmas in the Great NorthWest in Jektown….. I hope everyone is having as cool of a Christmas as I am….. No reason to say more than that….. “I can say no more” (Help!)……
