Remembering Michael Jackson


Ok, I won't front. The man had pipes, he was an impossibly gifted arranger, songwriter and as good a dancer as Vasalav Nijinsky (And when's the last time she's made a movie?)

His dad used to wear Halloween masks and climb through the kids windows at night to scare the shit out of them and we wonder why Micheal was "such a weirdo"

and to all you haters out there, You be quiet Elephant-Man Bones!

Peter Molyneux is an idiot.

the technology he self aggrandized with at E3 (XBox's Project Natal and Lion Head Studio's "Milo") that he claimed was never dreamed of by even science fiction writers was in fact dreamed up by Arthur C. Clarke in "2001: A Space Odyssey"
I'm thinking Mr. Molyneux may have missed this little footnote in science fiction that never appeared in any anthology, it had a small run of prints and there may have been a movie about it (With Flip Wilson and Doris Day as Astronaut Frank Poole if memory serves.)

I love when someone presents an idea of their invention and insight and they claim to have concived when it is as obvious they are full of shit. The book was written nearly half a century ago and was the keystone of modern science fiction.

*Nerd's are not Geeks:
Nerds seek out new life and new understanding while trying to avoid getting wedgies (aka Melvins.) throghout High School.

My America
Jimmy 3000

Recently found documents have uncovered a draft of John F. Kennedy’s inaugural speech that was discarded at the last moment. Kennedy foresaw that someday in the future an African American President was a likely possibility, however during the writing of this document Kennedy was distracted by the television airing of the Eva Gabor Sci-Fi classic “Angora Moon Chicks from Mars” and his attention quickly drifted elsewhere:

John F. Kennedy

I believe we will have our Negro president. Several million years from now, when the Earth is spent like a Provencetown dance hall drag queen, then the Negro will have his 40 acres, the Negro will have his mule or quite possibly a robot mule of some kind, and the world, by that time, will be ready to accept such a man for this most noble title of Negro President and to him; the endless stream of floozies that come with it.

Several million years from now, when all the white upper class Americans will have left that dried up whore of an Earth for those tight perky bosoms of the stars, we will leave for the endless possibilities of space and more over "space sex". It is in that time we will travel in fast, fast, wicked-fast space ships filled with really hot broads in mini skirts and alien booze that makes Scotch look like baby formula. We will meet alien races and cultures from all over the galaxy and we will kill them as quickly and violently as possible. The will infect my brother Teddy with their deadly moon bites and he will have antenna sticking out of his head like a Maine lobster peeking out of a bowl of chowda. We white survivors must be ready for this tasty mutant with a big wooden spoon to knock his sorry drunk ass back in where space lobsters belong!

And to my devoted wife Jackie: She will have this thing on her head and when I press a button she will instantly forget about the lipstick on my collar and my combustible booze breath when I stumbled in at 4:45 AM and the space ship comes home without the front grill and missing a taillight.

We will travel to a planet of smoking hot broads. They will all have bazongas like that blonde bombshell in Cool Hand Luke, which will be made seven years from now. They will skimp around in these little get-ups that have less fabric than a 'kleenex' but somehow have never heard of a kiss. It will be the task of every American to teach them about the raunchies, no-holds-barred swinging you can imagine.

And when those Americans of future generations ask what did we do when we were called we will say that those chicks were being terrorized by enormous shrimp and we rose to the challenge and defeated them with laser cannons and bombs. Later the hot broads will thank us with bisque and kinky sex.

Rocks? Where are all the broads you were supposed to bring back chowda head?

And that, that is a future that all America can look forward to.

Jimmy 3K's Bolognase

What Youse Need
A large frying pan
A large pot to boil water
A pasta strainer
A wooden spoon

Ingredients
1 Package (12-16 oz.) Fuscilli Pasta (The kind Kramer made into the
likeness of Jerry Seinfeld)
2 Lbs. Chop Meat (don't get the lower fat stuff, get the 85%)
1 Jar of pasta sauce (Unless you have some recipe for sauce that does
not take all Sunday afternoon)
1 Large Onion
3 Cloves of regular garlic or 1 clove of elephant garlic (ask your
local elephant)
2-3 Chicken bullion cubes (or a Tsb of Salt instead.)
1-2 Tsb of light cooking oil (2x)
A dash of basil, or a few fresh basil leaves if their in season.
Real Romano or Parmesan cheese, not that Kraft $*!%. America spells my
cheese Locatelli

Preperation:
Mince the onion, mince the garlic: Your fingers will smell like garlic and you will be crying like a French actress but with less under arm hair if you do this right.

Heat the frying pan with a little oil, when the oil starts getting hot. Throw in the onion and garlic, you probably want to do this on a fairly high flame. Start browning the onions and garlic. If you have a dash of basil or the real stuff throw it in, put some salt in too if you like. How much? I don't know, 4 cups of salt, hows that?

Fill as much water as the box of pasta you bought tells you, I use the Barilla Omega 3 pasta which I was shocked to find down here in North Cackalakka. If it aint chicken fried they dont want to know.

Your going to add the chicken bullion to the boiling water and a Tsb. of oil. This keeps the pasta from sticking together and brings the water to a boil quicker. I don't rinse my pasta, the chicken stock from the bullion gives it some flavor. Cover the lid, don't add the pasta until the water is boiling.

Once your onion and garlic is browning your going to throw the chop meat in the frying pan, you might lower the heat a touch. I like to stab my chop meat with the wooden spoon like Joe Pesci did to Dennis Farina did in Goodfellas "Now go home and get your &@$(!# shine box chop meat!". Chop and brown your chop meat. Drain the oil from the meat and check your pot to see if your water is boiling. It is? Add the freekin pasta DaVinci.

Stir the pasta, and lower to a simmer, you don't need to boil it. If the meat is brown lower the flame and add the jar of sauce and mix it up. I use the Classico Tomato and Basil.

By the time the pasta is cooked the sauce will be hot.

Time to eat numb-nuts
Tchrow it in da bowl, grate some cheese, bada-bing.

Best eaten with a sleeveless t-shirt and a gold chain with a pepper on
the end of it (I know you have one.) spend mealtime arguing and making threatening gestures.

If you cant show some respect well then; go fuck a dead sea urchin.

(an appeal to music magazine editors, et al)

Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour: Never in the history of blogs, edgeless porno mags (Maxium, Blender, Ranger Rick), and revisionist music publication has one album been so vehemently smeared undeservedly.

Here’s a fucking news flash; despite not owning this album the ugly truth is this single album changed the way ALL albums were recorded that came after. A handful of stupid songs managed to change the structure of rock and roll in less than forty five minutes, therefore any asshole with an opinion about music should be able to wipe their ass with it. Can you name any other albums that did this before? No? And none after? Not bad for a 40 year old relic.

The only props I give for goofing on this album was the Sharpling and Wuster piece and you’ll have to google it or find it hidden somewhere in the bowels of SOTU (this blog).

I like how these writers waited until half the Beatles were either dead or septuagenarians before they launched their moaning diatribes. So here’s a thought:

R.E.M.: Forget “Shinny Happy Assholes”, at least the B-52’s are admittedly influenced by Capt. Beefheart so I give them props, but everything Stipe and Berry and the other two farts released after “Reckoning” is crap, sheer and utter crap, also and even more importantly:

U2 had one, I repeat ONE good album and that was “Boy”, The Edge has two licks on that guitar, and Bono's lyrics are more pompous than a collaboration between Sting and Terrance Trent D’arby. U2 is a bullshit rock band, they suck, they are sell outs, they music for people with limited musical knowledge who need to fit in. You will never see these two groups mentioned in a 40, 50 or 500 worst bands list, because critics actually think these bands are cool. Structurally they’ve been writing the same song for 20 years. Fuck them, they suck, realize it.

Dan Fogelberg: Yea, I hate him too, but when he gets included in these lists you know someone just ran out of ideas or were afraid to rant against anyone current. Little Wayne plays guitar so horrifyingly bad and no one says shit. Dan had that one torturous hit that made most everyone want to smash their AM radios with whatever road-kill they could find or drive over. No one wants to admit that Dan got more prime-tail playing this one song than all Def Leppard did for 25 years of touring, ain’t what that’s what rock and roll suppoda’ be about? I love it when these guys attack someone who managed to have one hit, jealously at it's finest.

Robert Johnson=Genius, anyone else playing blues (mostly white folks) = crap: Despite it's incontestable European origins Blues was invented in Africa, what the Greeks called it. The blues scale was "invented in Afrika", although a 1000 years before it was invented in what is now Japan and was called “The Pentatonic Scale”, and sometimes it still is, and by sometimes meaning unless you call it "The Blues Scale" (i.e THE PENTATONIC SCALE). It amazing any white guy playing blues is lambasted but when the Beastie Boys release an album it gets praised (Nothing good came after Ill Communication, not a fucking thing.), About the same time those tricky little yellow slants were steeling the blues scale from Afrika before Afrika had a change to invent it Germanic folk music: 1,4,5 progressions which would become the basis of Country music, which also predate the blues, was being created in Europe. but it's not like critics need to know where the music came from, they can make up their own fictional legends and stick by them so no one is offended. the blueprint for Blues is a culmination of Moorish, German and Japanise music dating back over 1000 years, Blues propper was created in the southern United States less than 100 years ago.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of Johnson and even the Blues, but as amazing and ground breaking this guy was most of those songs are the same songs with different lyrics. How come no one ever drops Bukkah White's name? Bukkah White is a musical genius! He just get ignored because of his “white” name. Shame on all you Honkies who have your special “give prop” club for music, you have no skills and…well, like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that excludes the Moody Blues and Grahm Parsons all I can offer is a heart felt 'go fuck your mother'.

Rush, Yes, ELP: Target for “Worst Lyrics” lists perpetually rated worst bands? Why? Music critics could never in their lives understand this type of music because they are not musicians, they are music wanna’ be’s and it makes them pooh their pants when they realize nerds worse then them have bands that can sell out MSG for seven nights in a row and that rock bands don’t have to be overfluffed dicks who make everyone wait to hear three chords for some song that demands some girl take off her pants. You know sometimes your trying to talk to some hot girl in a club and she’s surrounded by her ugly friends who are far more interested in you than she is and you don’t want to hear Beyonce and T-Pain’s remix of Puff-Daddy's remix of D.J. Spin's remix of “Sexual Healing” while said water buffaloes are herding you out to the dance floor, just then, you want to hear “New World Man”, "The Oracle" or “Worm” or a 22 minute Moog extravaganza. Don’t front on prog rock and call it crap. The next critic to single out Geddy Lee, Chris Squire or Keith Emmerson will be smashed in the face with the skull of David Cross chained to the end of Neil’s Tama Limited Edition Glockenspiel Stand by yours truly. Yes, I’m a nerd, but I’m a violent nerd and I will activate your fucking life insurance if you keep writing your girl whining on three of the greatest rock bands in recorded history. Try me.

Top 10 songs to work out to that contain mostly Metallica songs lists: No. I repeat No. If I’m at the gym and I hear the Jean Paul Gutierre inspired guitar solo wha-wanking of “Enter Sandman” coming from the ear buds of the guy next to me I am gone - fucking Jimmie has left the fucking building. Porque? Because I know that "Capt’n Fruity Flowers" is following me in to the locker room to tell me my delts and quads look great and carry the conversation into the shower to get a unhealthy look at my wee-wee. Truth be told, I have many gay friends and they respect edict "My mind is open, my ass is closed" policy, except for the Metallica ones, they just don't get it.

Gym+Metallica=Gay as waiter in SOHO (I worked as a waiter in Bowling Green and never went North of Washington Square, I had to put on a phony Moldavian accent, but the chicks dug it – Chicks, not female impersonators son!) and why does MS word know how to spell Metallica?

Here’s the truth about Metallica, other than they suck (and I make a crystal clear distinction between the band with the ear splitting bass riffs of Cliff Burton and “The Thing That Should Have No Longer Be’ed” that came after.) that thing is Kirk Hammet is not a guitarist, he sucks. Could I do better? Without question I could and I’m amateur at best. Max Calevera from Scepultura is a far better guitarist than Hammet, so is Dave Grohl.

That unforgivable asshole Hammet once took a 15 minute guitar solo at Nassau Coliseum that consisted of him wiping has ass with a guitar. Social commentary was the first minute I guess and the rest was his actual attempt to play. If you cant respect the craft well then fuck you, where is my David Cross Skull Mace? Cross David Cross with Kirk Hammet, you get David Mammet, who writes great plays, just the dialog is so fucking contrived: "Is that what you said Frank, 'cus if that's what you said..." - "Yea, that's exactly what I fucking said Mike, I fucking said that, you've got a problem with what I said?"

You want to work out to a real band? High on Fire: You will be able to dead lift a city with what's left of your ear flaps dangling from the side of your head. Metallica? Fuck Metallica, Pabst Blue Ribbon!!! (Also the Melvins "Stoner Witch" album will blast you pecs and give you a chest like Kong on Angel Dust infused outlawed East German Steroids.)

Making fun of Rappers who’s carrier fizzled out: Here’s a thought, can you name one Public Enemy. song that does not contain the line “They out to get us Chuck!” or “Yeah boy!”? No, it’s an impossibility, like finding a Van Halen song without a pick slide or a Robert Johnson that does not begin on the diminished seventh of the one cord and resolves on the five after eight beats,(and end the same way!) it does not exist.
I like Jay-Z, but “Hard Knock Life” Come the fuck on! How many remakes can R&B cover in one day? It’s a factory at this point, it makes me sick to think how controlled and contrived the music industry has made this whole genre "Drink a Pepsi get a free R&B download from Amazon" - what a wonderful legacy.

I guess since Flav did not sell out and never will and would never do anything on VH1 as scripted as a WWF cage battle he is immune to musical criticisms. Sadly the same with Ozzy, but I'm sure once the critics realize he was not writing any lyrics for Black Sabbath then Sabbath will be excused from their good graces as well, old or what I like to call "real" heavy metal has been written off in favor of the galactically overated GreenDay and equally gay as a tree full of magazine publishers Nickleback.

Jim Morrison: At some point it became really cool to disrespect Jim, and why, I mean other than Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains and Nirvana who did The Doors ever influence? “Mother I want to fuck you!” – Glen Danzig still shits his pants when he thinks this line was written, and it was shouted at full volume before he was born. Jim Morrison was William Blake loosing his leather pants in a Jim Beam induced blackout.

Nirvana: I’m officially tired of hearing all the Nirvana’s miss-crediting. They did not invent anything; not punk (I actually had some kid say that to me, I wanted to kill them until some other kid said it was GreenDay who invented Punk.), not whiney rock (though Nirvana are responsible for countless whiney bands that followed that no one would stop and got more radio play than Dan Fogleberg giving Don Imus a hand job on the air) and defiantly not grunge - and for the most part Grohl, Novacelic and Cobain would not argue. They were a good band, differentr, but not groundbreaking with an excellent album (okay, two excellent albums: one done by Butch Vigg and the other Steve Albini) but I suspect now as bands like Alice in Chains are completely confused with “Godsmack” then we can look forward to Nirvana smearing in magazines and blogs. The only person I can think of who hated the Nirvana worship more than I did is Kurt Cobain, and he didn’t fuck around with it on blogs like the rest of us. BANG!!!

Guided by Voices: Rock critics, this is not a band, it is a way of life – and you prop this band while you diss the very band that had more influence on this band than the Replacements, the Pixies and the (allmighty) Who combined – the Beatles. No Beatles=No Under the Bushes…Under the Stars – it’s that fucking simple.

Slash leaves G&R: Why is this touted as one of Rocks "say it ain't so" moments? G&R is corporate rock at its most invested. I'm surprised this band did not have it's own action figures and Saturday AM cartoon.
Do you know why everyone left this band? Because they sucked! Truth be told if you take a mediocre product and throw shit load of money at it you can sell it to people without musical taste who think this was the American Led Zeppelin. The American Led Zeppelin was Areosmith, and emphasis on the word "was", they still get high, they pretend they don't but its obvious. However; unlike the 1970's when they were high and their albums rocked, now their albums suck more ass than Marv Alberts attending a Thai prostitute convention.
