Time
They're rockin' while they've still got it
Sunday, December 03, 2006By John Sinkevics---from The Grand Rapids Press
Fans cheering celebrated rocker Pete Townshend as he windmills his way into another blistering guitar riff at Van Andel Arena's Who concert Tuesday will want to reflect on this: He's older than President George W. Bush, tycoon Donald Trump and talk-show host David Letterman. Like most rock stars, Townshend doesn't pretend to act his age, which happens to be 61. Same goes for fellow 61-year-olds Eric Clapton, the legendary guitarist who delivered Van Andel's concert of the year in September, and Bob Seger, the beloved Michigan rocker who recently launched his first tour in a decade here to throngs of rabid fans. Famous rock artists Neil Young, John Fogerty and Van Morrison also turned 61 in 2006, so 1945 clearly was a very good year for rock 'n' roll, even if this genre wasn't yet a genre. Hold onto your Botox, baby boomers: The roster of beloved rock icons older than 60 is growing faster than ear hair and cholesterol counts. I won't suggest concert venues stock up on defibrillators and oxygen tanks backstage, but this rock-at-retirement-age thing is an alarming phenomenon for fans of classic rock bands who heartily embraced the youthful energy, the rebellion, the volume and the dynamic spectacle of rock in the '60s and '70s. Now they worry if this hearty embrace might result in a broken hip. Let's face it, anybody who grew up idolizing sex symbols Robert Plant, Mick Jagger or Carly Simon never envisioned rock heroes with gray or balding hair, reading glasses, bad teeth and a Medicare card. Even Townshend's "My Generation," the 1965 anthem of youth that The Who still performs, brazenly declared, "I hope I die before I get old." Yes, Who drummer Keith Moon tragically followed through on that (along with other hard-partying rock 'n' rollers), but plenty continue to sprint, or shuffle, across stages. This is truly astonishing when bearing in mind that the grumpy-looking President Lyndon Johnson didn't turn 61 until after he left office in 1969, and the jowly Richard Nixon was 61 when he resigned. Not only are Townshend, Clapton and Seger older than Bush and Bill Clinton, they're even older than the bikini, which was invented way back in 1946. (Granted, this isn't really relevant. I just found it interesting that the bikini is 60 years old.) More amazing, Townshend cohort Roger Daltrey already has turned 62, Jagger is 63, The Beatles' Paul McCartney is 64 and Bob Dylan is 65. Luckily, most of these survivors seem to take pretty good care of themselves these days. They don't hurl themselves off of amplifier stacks or stage-slide quite as far in their seventh decade, but I'm convinced they usually put on better-sounding shows than they did when they were in their 20s or 30s. And I'd bet plenty of whipper-snappers would have trouble keeping up with the aerobically fit Jagger over a boisterous two-hour show. But how much longer can they keep this up? How long before their knees give out, before they're all using TelePrompTers to jog their memories, before fans realize their favorite stars look like their grandparents? Heck, a lot of 'em are grandparents. Can the Rolling Stones tour at age 70? That's the scariest question no one ever dreamed would get asked, but then, I'm more curious than most and old enough to forget what point I was trying to make in the first place. Consider, too, that hearing loss affects about half of people 60 and older, and most of them didn't stand in front of amplifiers cranked to '11' a la Spinal Tap. (In a Press interview, Townshend blamed headphones for his hearing problems: "Those occasions when I was in the studio having fun, wearing earphones to make sure I didn't wake up my family, drinking for pleasure, I lowered my pain threshold and did the most damage.") Stars in other musical genres haven't had to worry so much about this age thing. After all, roaring through lively rock solos in a cloud of stage fog is a different animal than Frank Sinatra crooning "My Way" in his 60s. Sure, bluesman B.B. King still performs at age 81, but he sits down for his shows.
The moral? Enjoy them now, before the term "rocker" just describes the chair they have to haul out on stage.

Guest Editorial from Keith Olbermann
Keith Olbermann
MSNBC
November 30, 2006
And finally tonight, as promised, a Special Comment about free speech,
failed speakers, and the delusion of grandeur.
"This is a serious long term war," the man at the podium cried, "and it
will inevitably lead us to want to know what is said in every suspect
place in the country."
Some, in the audience, must have thought they were hearing an arsonist
give the keynote address at a convention of firefighters.
This was the annual Loeb First Amendment Dinner in Manchester, New
Hampshire - a public cherishing of Freedom of Speech - in the state with
the two-fisted motto "Live Free Or Die."
And the arsonist at the microphone, the former Speaker of the House,
Newt Gingrich, was insisting that we must attach an "on-off button" to
Free Speech.
He offered the time-tested excuse trotted out by our demagogues, since
even before the Republic was founded: widespread death, of Americans, in
America, possibly at the hands of Americans.
But updated, now, to include terrorists. using the internet for
recruitment. end result, quote "losing a city."
The Colonial English defended their repression with words like these.
And so did the Slave States.
And so did the policemen who shot strikers.
And so did Lindbergh's America-First crowd.
And so did those who interned Japanese-Americans.
And so did those behind the Red Scare.
And so did Nixon's Plumbers.
The genuine proportion of the threat is always irrelevant.
The fear the threat is exploited to create. becomes the only reality.
"We will adopt rules of engagement that use every technology we can
find," Mr. Gingrich continued about terrorists formerly Communists
formerly Hippies formerly Fifth Columnists formerly Anarchists formerly
Redcoats.
"..to break up their capacity to use the internet, to break up their
capacity to use free speech."
Mr. Gingrich, the British 'broke up our capacity to use free speech' in
the 1770's.
The pro-slavery leaders 'broke up our capacity to use free speech' in
the 1850's.
The FBI and CIA 'broke up our capacity to use free speech' in the 1960's.
It is in those groups where you would have found your kindred spirits,
Mr. Gingrich.
Those who had no faith in freedom, no faith in this country, and,
ultimately, no faith even in the strength of their own ideas, to stand
up on their own legs, without having the playing-field tilted entirely
to their benefit.
"It will lead us to learn," Gingrich continued, "how to close down every
website that is dangerous, and it will lead us to a very severe approach
to people who advocate the killing of Americans and advocate the use of
nuclear and biological weapons."
That we have always had 'a very severe approach' to these people is
insufficient for Mr. Gingrich's ends.
He wants to somehow ban the idea.
Even though everyone who has ever protested a movie or a piece of music
or a book has learned the same lesson:
Try to suppress it, and you only validate it.
Make it illegal, and you make it the subject of curiosity.
Say it cannot be said - and it will instead be screamed.
And on top of the thundering danger in his eagerness to sell out freedom
of speech, there is a sadder sound, still - the tinny crash of a garbage
can lid on a sidewalk.
Whatever dreams of internet-censorship float like a miasma in Mr.
Gingrich's personal swamp, whatever hopes he has of an Iron Firewall,
the simple fact is - technically, they won't work.
As of tomorrow they will have been defeated by. a free computer download.
Mere hours after Gingrich's speech in New Hampshire, the University of
Toronto announced it had come up with a program called "Psiphon" to
liberate those, in countries in which the internet is regulated.
Places like China, and Irahn, where political ideas are so barren, and
political leaders so desperate, that they put up computer firewalls to
keep thought and freedom out.
The "Psiphon" device is a relay of sorts that can surreptitiously link a
computer user in an imprisoned country to another in a free one.
The Chinese think the wall works, yet the ideas - good ideas, bad ideas,
indifferent ideas, pass through anyway.
The same way the Soviet Bloc, was defeated by the images of Western
Material Bounty.
If your hopes of thought-control can be defeated, Mr. Gingrich, merely
by one computer whiz staying up an extra half hour and devising a new
"firewall hop," what is all this apocalyptic hyperbole for?
"I further think," you said in Manchester, "We should propose a Geneva
convention for fighting terrorism, which makes very clear that those who
would fight outside the rules of law, those who would use weapons of
mass destruction, and those who would target civilians are in fact
subject to a totally different set of rules, that allow us, to protect
civilization by defeating barbarism."
Well, Mr. Gingrich, what is more 'massively destructive' than trying to
get us, to give you our freedom?
And what is someone seeking to hamstring the First Amendment doing, if
not "fighting outside the rules of law"?
And what is the suppression of knowledge and freedom, if not "barbarism"?
The explanation, of course, is in one last quote from Mr. Gingrich from
New Hampshire. and another, from last week.
"I want to suggest to you," he said about these internet restrictions,
"that we right now should be impaneling people to look seriously at a
level of supervision that we would never dream of if it weren't for the
scale of the threat."
And who should those "impaneled" people, be?
Funny I should ask, isn't it, Mr. Gingrich?
"I am not 'running' for president," you told a reporter from Fortune
Magazine. "I am seeking to create a movement to win the future by
offering a series of solutions so compelling that if the American people
say I have to be president, it will happen."
Newt Gingrich sees, in terrorism, not something to be exterminated, but
something to be exploited.
It's his golden opportunity, isn't it?
'Rallying a nation,' you might say, 'to hysteria, to sweep us up into
the White House with powers that will make Martial Law seem like
anarchy.'
That's from the original version of the movie "The Manchurian Candidate"
- the chilling words of Angela Lansbury's character, as she first
promises to sell her country to the Chinese and Russians, then reveals
she'll double-cross them, and keep all the power herself, waving the
flag every time she subjugates another freedom.
Within the frame of our experience as a free and freely argumentative
people, it is almost impossible to conceive that there are those among
us, who might approach the kind of animal-wildness of fiction like that
- those who would willingly transform our beloved country into something
false and terrible.
Who among us can look to our own histories, or those of our ancestors
who struggled to get here, or who struggled to get freedom after they
were forced here, and not teer up when we reed Frederick Douglass's
words from a century-and-a-half ago: "Freedom must take the day"?
And who among us can look to our collective history, and not see its
turning points - like the Civil War, like Watergate, like the Revolution
itself - in which the right idea defeated the wrong idea on the
battlefield that is the marketplace of ideas?
But apparently there are some of us who cannot see, that the only future
for America is one that cherishes the freedoms won in the past, one in
which we vanquish bad ideas with better ones, and in which we fight for
liberty by having more liberty, not less.
"I am seeking to create a movement to win the future by offering a
series of solutions so compelling that if the American people say I have
to be president, it will happen."
What a dark place your world must be, Mr. Gingrich, where the way to
save America, is to destroy America.
I will awaken every day of my life thankful I am not with you in that
dark place.
And I will awaken every day of my life thankful that you are entitled to
tell me about it.
And that you are entitled to show me what an evil idea it represents -
and what a cynical mind.
And that you are entitled to do all that, thanks to the very freedoms,
you seek to suffocate.
Good night, and good luck.

Some good song lyrics
Busload Of Faith--Lou Reed
You can't depend on your family
You can't depend on your friends
You can't depend on a beginning
You can't depend on an end
You can't depend on intelligence
Ooohhh, you can't depend on a god
You can only depend on one thing
You need a Busload of Faith to get by, watch, baby
Busload of Faith to get by
You need a Busload of Faith to get by
You can depend on the worst always happening
You can depend on a murderer's drive
You can bet that if he rapes somebody
There'll be no problem having a child
And you can bet that if she aborts it
Pro-Lifers will attack her with rage
You can depend on the worst always happening
You need a Busload of Faith to get by, yeah
Busload of Faith to get by
Busload of Faith to get by, babe
Busload of Faith to get by
You can't depend on the goodly hearted
The goodly hearted made lampshades and soap
You can't depend on the Sacrament
No Father, no Holy Ghost
You can't depend on any churches
Unless there's a real estate you want to buy
You can't depend on a lot of things
You need a Busload of Faith to get by, wow
Busload of Faith to get by
You can't depend on no miracle
You can't depend on the air
You can't depend on a wise man
You can't find them because they're not there
You can depend on cruelty
Crudity of thought and sound
You can depend on the worst always happening
You need a Busload of Faith to get by, ha
Busload of Faith to get by
You can't depend on your family
You can't depend on your friends
You can't depend on a beginning
You can't depend on an end
You can't depend on intelligence
Ooohhh, you can't depend on a god
You can only depend on one thing
You need a Busload of Faith to get by, watch, baby
Busload of Faith to get by
You need a Busload of Faith to get by
You can depend on the worst always happening
You can depend on a murderer's drive
You can bet that if he rapes somebody
There'll be no problem having a child
And you can bet that if she aborts it
Pro-Lifers will attack her with rage
You can depend on the worst always happening
You need a Busload of Faith to get by, yeah
Busload of Faith to get by
Busload of Faith to get by, babe
Busload of Faith to get by
You can't depend on the goodly hearted
The goodly hearted made lampshades and soap
You can't depend on the Sacrament
No Father, no Holy Ghost
You can't depend on any churches
Unless there's a real estate you want to buy
You can't depend on a lot of things
You need a Busload of Faith to get by, wow
Busload of Faith to get by
You can't depend on no miracle
You can't depend on the air
You can't depend on a wise man
You can't find them because they're not there
You can depend on cruelty
Crudity of thought and sound
You can depend on the worst always happening
You need a Busload of Faith to get by, ha
Busload of Faith to get by
What I'm Listening To Tonight
New John Legend CD--very good, I really like him
The Doors--Riders on the Storm
Old Elton John Like Tumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water
Gypsy Kings
Daniel Lanois
News of the day:
Iraq is in a civil war
and
Britney forgets her underwear again
What is it with these Hollywood type dimwits and not wearing underwear??? First it's Paris, then Lindsay now it's Brittany. Ummmm......what is it? The shock value?? YAWN.... so get over yourselves and buy some undies. It's not like you can't afford it. It's getting old. Knock it off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What's Good - The Thesis
Life's like a mayonnaise soda
And life's like space without room
And life's like bacon and ice cream
That's what life's like without you
Life's like forever becoming
But life's forever dealing in hurt
Now life's like death without living
That's what life's like without you
Life's like Sanskrit read to a pony
I see you in my mind's eye
strangling on your tongue
What's good is knowing such devotion
I've been around - I know what makes things run
What good is seeing eye chocolate
What good's a computerized nose
And what good was cancer in April
Why no good - no good at all
What good's a war without killing
What good is rain that falls up
What good's a disease that won't hurt you
Why no good, I guess, no good at all
What good are these thoughts that I'm thinking
It must be better not to be thinking at all
A styrofoam lover with emotions of concrete
No not much, not much at all
What's good is life without living
What good's this lion that barks
You loved a life others throw away nightly
It's not fair, not fair at all
What's good ?
Life's good -But not fair at all

Some of my favorite quotes
I pity the fool.- Mr. T
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.- Maya Angelou
What He really hates is the shit that gets carried out in his name. Wars. Bigotry. Televangelism........When are you people going to learn? It's not about who's right or wrong. No denomination's nailed it yet, and they never will because they're all too self-righteous to realize that it doesn't matter what you have faith in, just that you have faith. Your hearts are in the right place, but your brains need to wake up. -Dogma (1999)

Day After Thanksgiving
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
We fight all the time
You and I...
that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...
I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can you hear me when I Sing,
you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me
Where are we now?
I've got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Sunday November 19, 2006
I was watching MSNBC before and the show was about wounded soldiers who fought in Iraq and how shitty it is for them when they come home wounded. They lose jobs, their houses, are in debt and their families are torn apart. They don't tell you that when they run the commercials on TV for military enlistment. "Be all that you can be" Yeah.......just don't get wounded or need health care when you get home. There was one man who lost both legs and he was struggling to try to walk again. His wife left her home and job to be with him in the hospital. Once you leave the hospital they don't want to know you. We're practically GIVING money away (billions and billions of dollars) to the contracters and the shysters who got rich off the war yet we can't take care of our own wounded soldiers. There are different groups now that are making some progress in changing the situation eventually.
To change subjects now:
My father is a military veteran who served in Korea during the Korean War. He worked all his life, paid his taxes, never got a ticket, followed the rules his whole life. So he goes to renew his license in the DMV in Wallington, NJ last week. Some a-hole who didn't even speak English gave him a hard time, questioning if he was the person the birth certificate he bought with him belonged to. Now this birth certificate is from 1932..........the original. This idiot told him the birth certificate looked TOO OLD!!!! WELL IT IS OLD YOU FREAKIN' JERK! So then she showed it to another person (who spoke worse "english" than the first) and finally it got to a supervisor who okayed it, while my dad was humiliated and embarrassed. The thing that got him was these people who can't even put a sentence together coherently are making him go from person to person to be judged like he was trying to pull something over on the DMV. When he came home I could tell it upset him. How do these people get these jobs? I've been at the DMV before and the majority of them sit on their ass while we're waiting in line like you're all cattle being led to the feeding troughs. How can you get a job like that if you cannot speak proper English? And they look at YOU like you have three heads when you say "excuse me, can you repeat that"? when you can't understand the senseless babble that they say? Work on the accent, bubba and maybe people will understand you.
