Eye Opener

I'm reading "Bloodthirsty Bitches and Pious Pimps of Power" by Gerry Spence right now. It's an eye-opener just like those magic shades that Rowdy Piper wore on "They Live". Instead of aliens, it's W and his gang of right-wing thugs of hate.

I love how he breaks down the illusion of the basic freedoms we're guaranteed by the Constitution, especially by the fuckers with money and power.

Quick review: I went to the Jay Z and Mary J. Blige concert last night at the Garden. The energy wasn't there. There was a somber lull during MJB's act. The folks down below did not have 10% of the energy the technotronicstrancemasters could muster with a changing of the beats. One of the folks in the corporate box wanted to jam but she lasted only 15 seconds before sitting down again. It was cool when Method Man came out and busted some rhymes with MJB but the energy faded once he left. Fatigue grew and, after 3 songs by Jay Z, the other bankers and I broke out.

Though a bit tired now, I'm ready for ARMIN tonight. I hope he'll somehow recognize my friend and I from Bal en Blanc.

Nostalgia

I helped two co-workers' iTunes to share their music in early January. Only today did I go check out what they had. One had sappy tunes. The other.....OMFG!!!!!

She has: Billy Idol, Corey Hart, Cyndi Lauper, Duran Duran, Erasure, Eurythmics, Expose, Go Go's, Hall & Oates, Human League, INXS, Jody Watley, Joe Jackson, KLF, Level 42, New Order, OMD, Paul Young, Pet Shop Boys, Robert Palmer, Sheena Easton, Simply Red, Stevie B, Thompson Twins, U2, Wham!, When In Rome and Whitney Houston.

I'm spending the afternoon reminiscing and being nostalgic.
