New Business/Old Business

"MISTAKES WERE MADE"
Seems the family of Pat Tillman is dissatisfied with the results that were announced this week by the Bush Administration regarding the official investigation into his demise.  Hate to burst your bubble, folks, but they blew up their own poster boy—ain't no way in hell this administration will ever come clean about what really happened...

YOU'D BEST MAKE ALTERNATE PLANS...
...if you live in Kansas City and want to watch CBS programming tomorrow night.  There's an 80% chance of severe thunderstorms, which means there's a 100% chance of a Katie Horner "stormgasm" on Channel 5 that will pre-empt whatever's on tomorrow night.  You might drive to Wichita and rent a hotel room to watch CBS shows, or just bag it altogether and rent a DVD...

CLASSIC MISHEARD LYRIC #21
"I Gotcha"--JOE TEX (1972) "I'll teach you to play with my affection." With just a minimum amount of imagination, "affection" easily morphs into "erection"!  And you know damn well ol' Joe sang it that way in concert a time or two...

GIVE THEM DEATH OR GIVE THEM HEAD
As I type this, I'm watching that dreadful 1968 film The Monkees made called Head, and it's absolutely awful!  It was the brainchild of actor Jack Nicholson too. A ny chance we could retroactively rescind a couple of his Oscars for this hunk of junk?  Drugs are bad, mmm-kay?

WORLD'S DUMBEST SONG LYRICS OF ALL-TIME, VOL. V
"Why Can’t This Be Love?"—VAN HALEN (1986)  "Only time will tell if we stand the test of time…"  Another entry from the Department of Redundancy Department. Love Sammy Hagar to death, but I never have liked that song, for some reason.

"Let's Get Rocked"--DEF LEPPARD (1992) "Let's get the rock outta here!" Yes, I realize that "rock" is a euphemism for "fuck", but I still cringe every time I hear that line...

"Dance To The Music"--SLY & THE FAMILY STONE (1968) "You might like to hear my organ..."  Nope! Nope! Nope!  Homey don't play that!  Sorry Sly, but I don't want nothin' to do with your organ! (Okay, I'm being facetious...)

"Rock And Roll Soul"--GRAND FUNK RAILROAD (1974) "It's kinda funky like an old-time movie."  Hate to pick on these guys since they took enough abuse from the critics back in the day, but old-time movies are generally not "funky".  Pretty obvious they nicked this line from the Lovin' Spoonful's "Do You Believe In Magic?"—"It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie."
