<div class="MsoNoteLevel1" style="margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Courier;">Yep It coulda been the drugs but I kinda feel like watching the Grammy’s last night was like watching a pet get put down..The music industry which is becoming more and more irrelevant every day with artists publishing, selling and finding new ways to promote their art..I mean the best song was a Michael Jackson tribute using his new song "Earth Song" which in my humble opinion was the best song played all night which was produced as a thank-you from the music business fucks that owe Jackson a big thank you for still paying them as he was their best selling artist of 09 and by the looks last night there isn't a whole lot of competition. Beyonce won six - a record for the most Grammy Awards won by a female artists in a single night, including Song of the Year for 'Single Ladies', and Jay-Z scored Best Rap Performance by a Solo Artist for 'D.O.A. (Death Of Autotune)'. Good times at their place later! Kings of Leon won Record of the Year for 'Use Somebody'. (Didn't they used to be smokin hot, the next super group? Now they look kind of swollen and gross) Leon Russell out rock stared them with his flowing white locks, ZZ Top beard,shades, stetson hat and pin stripe suit! (and he's recovering from brain surgery) As far as the RIP part with photo's and sound bites of the people who passed on during 09 that the recording industry deemed or selected I did notice one glaring omission Jay Reatard! Am I so naive as to believe that Jay Reatard’s recent passing at the early age of 29 was ever guaranteed recognition by the Grammy’s, but is it really that much of an imposition on the Recording Academy to include this big name from the “indie” music world in their “In Memoriam” montage . Yes finally there was a brief sighting of Slash, with the mix way to trebly;(its an adverb) for the sound at least at my house to do his playing any justice. Oh and a much to brief tribute to Les Paul which wasted the talents of one Jeff Beck whom on the cover of his best selling album Wired was clutching a Fender Strat (I know he had a Gibson on Blow By Blow) which brings me to the only other talent that impressed me which was Pink who brought the circus to her Grammy Awards 2010 performance. (I'm sure all the years in Vegas living with Cory she must have seen Circus Soliel a few times) At first, she walked on stage and wore a silky white robe that covered her head to toe singing 'Glitter in the Air' from her Funhouse album, Pink suddenly dropped the robe to reveal a sheer bodysuit, climbed onto a white sheet and was lifted into the air. High above the stage, she spun in circles and continued to sing as water began to pour from above. The song wrapped with Pink spinning upside down and soaking wet. Let me tell you just seeing her walk off the stage in the big heels after spinning around that much almost impressed me more that how good Barbra Bach still looks....Ringo always was the shrewd one....Peace out.....<o:p></o:p></span></div>Yale Bloorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227612450487544675noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872224128844165569.post-20976223851999851622010-01-30T18:14:00.000-05:002010-01-30T18:14:03.202-05:0050 FUCKING BONGS!!!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MbxxyumMZ7s/S2S81WPpq2I/AAAAAAAABEg/Z8uHv-A3oR4/s1600-h/47219729.bongrecarea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MbxxyumMZ7s/S2S81WPpq2I/AAAAAAAABEg/Z8uHv-A3oR4/s400/47219729.bongrecarea.jpg" width="400" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="post"><a href="http://www.kfab.com/cc-common/news/sections/newsarticle.html?article=6704577" rel="nofollow" style="color: #84ddff;" target="_blank">Pot Smokers Busted On YouTube</a><br />
A 44 year old Gretna, Nebraska, man has been arrested for smoking marijuana with his sons<br />
Wednesday, January 27, 2010<br />
<br />
Sarpy County Lt. Steve Grabowski tells 1110 KFAB they found more than 90 videos on YouTube showing David Johnson and his 17 and 19 year old sons smoking pot. Investigators also seized 50 bongs and pipes from Johnson's house during the January 12th search. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="post">(gee I bet they had a few lighters too)<br />
<br />
Johnson has been charged with misdemeanor child abuse and possesion of drug paraphernalia and marijuana. Johnson's oldest son Tavis was cited for marijuana possesion, and the 17 year old is now in foster care.<br />
<br />
The Internet has become a tool for law enforcement officials in recent years and Grabowski says anyone who engages in illegal online activity can end up in jail.</span> </div>Yale Bloorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227612450487544675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872224128844165569.post-72227506912231659872010-01-30T12:08:00.002-05:002010-01-30T12:10:57.699-05:00BRING ON THE LOVE<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MbxxyumMZ7s/S2RoFu3bH9I/AAAAAAAABD4/y9VXAAVn46w/s1600-h/500x_jobsvsobamabuzz.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 202px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MbxxyumMZ7s/S2RoFu3bH9I/AAAAAAAABD4/y9VXAAVn46w/s400/500x_jobsvsobamabuzz.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432581498204790738" /></a><br />Two events dominated discussion last week: the unveiling of Apple's iPad and President Obama's State of the Union address. Leading up to last Wednesday, many wondered if Apple's event would overshadow Obama's. On social media, that was certainly the case.<br />As the infographic explains, however, even if Apple had the buzz, Obama brought the honey. Generally, 42% of Apple's mentions were positive and 46% were indifferent, whereas 65% of his mentions approved of Obama's address and only 19% were indifferent.Yale Bloorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227612450487544675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872224128844165569.post-34246513337862503462010-01-29T16:08:00.002-05:002010-01-29T16:10:21.161-05:00Court of Appeals Harshes Bogus Religion's Pot Buzz<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MbxxyumMZ7s/S2NOrgQPOaI/AAAAAAAABDw/ImnTXKw-LJk/s1600-h/2005_04_14jesus3.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MbxxyumMZ7s/S2NOrgQPOaI/AAAAAAAABDw/ImnTXKw-LJk/s400/2005_04_14jesus3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432272084838332834" /></a><br /><br />No, you can't have special permission to smoke weed because you're part of a non-religious religion, said the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit to Marc Perkel, founder of the Church of Reality.<br /><br />While smoking weed nine years ago in San Bruno, Perkel came up with the idea for the Church of Reality, a "reality-based" religion that embraces smoking pot as a gateway to inspire creative thinking and "really good ideas." It has since become a tax-exempt non-profit and amassed thousands of followers. The church philosophy, according to the Web site, is essentially this: "If it's real, we believe in it."<br /><br />Though not necessary for Church of Reality practice, weed is apparently a really important aspect. So eventually Perkel decided to ask the Drug Enforcement Administration for an weed exemption from the Controlled Substance Act under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The DEA said no way.<br /><br />It likely didn't help that the Church of Reality isn't even really a religion. Even if it was, the inability to lawfully smoke weed doesn't impose a substantial burden on the exercising members, the DEA said. <br /><br />Perkel wasn't satisfied that. He filed a petition for a review of the order with the 9th Circuit, stating that marijuana "has been misclassified and is a relatively harmless substance" used by church members to "inspire creative thinking, for medical purposes, relaxation, and socially -- like social drinking." He admitted, though, that the drug isn't consumed during any particular ritual or ceremony and that its prohibition would not coerce the members to act contrary to their beliefs (or, uh, non-beliefs). <br /><br />Perkel's best argument, according to the court's denial of his petition, was that withholding weed causes members "a diminishment of spiritual fulfillment." Still, this didn't quite quality him for protection under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

(AP) -- Two more Colorado towns could be voting this year on whether to decriminalize marijuana possession.<br /><br />The Leadville City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to direct their city attorney to draft language that would change city code to waive pot fines. Currently Leadville law allows for a fine of up to $100 for possession of less than an ounce of pot.<br /><br />In Aspen, attorney Lauren Maytin said there are talks to bring a marijuana decriminalization move to voters there this fall. Denver and Breckenridge have already voted to waive criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of pot by adults over 21.<br /><br />Decriminalization moves are largely symbolic, though. Pot possession remains a state crime.Yale Bloorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227612450487544675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872224128844165569.post-58821418661008436382009-03-13T08:32:00.001-04:002009-03-13T08:32:37.766-04:00Penn Jilette Says: Legalize MarijuanaAs the one guy who's never smoked dope, Penn Says, STOP the war on drugs now!

This imposing monument, emblazoned with the images of flags, will represent the countries of the world. Ranging from Canada to Chad, from Brazil to Burundi, from Vatican City to the Republic of China, these emblems will shine brightly in the night, gleaming like illuminated gems that stud a giant jewel box. A double-helix, like a strand of DNA, will form a staircase. Twining around the axis of this tower, it will spiral through a series of viewing platforms. The topmost tier will stand directly underneath the Burning Man. </p> <blockquote><em>Son, look, we might be in the desert, but we are still civilized people, and civilized people put up arbitrary boundaries that they will fight to the death to protect.</em><br />– Hal speaking to Dewey, <em>Malcolm in The Middle</em></blockquote> <p>In 2008, leave narrow and exclusive ideologies at home; forget the blue states and the red; let parties, factions and divisive issues fall away, and carefully consider your immediate experience. What has America achieved that you admire? What has it done or failed to do that fills you with dismay? What is laudable? What is ludicrous? Put blame aside, let humor thrive, and dare to contemplate a larger question: What can America, this stumbling, roused, half-conscious giant, still contribute to the world?</p><p>Anyone embarking on this path will encounter hundreds of fellow participants – many of whom come to Black Rock City from around the world. Indeed, in order to discover the flag of any particular county amid this welter of imagery, it will be necessary to inspect the flags of many other nations. Each of these may be imagined as a dream no less radiant or precious than the rest. Each country is a source of culture and identity; yet each may also be regarded as a glimmering illusion: a sovereign artifact, an arbitrary puzzle piece, an isolated fragment on a map. </p> <blockquote><em>You making haste on decay: not blameworthy; life is good, be it<br />stubbornly<br />long or suddenly<br />A mortal splendor: meteors are not needed less than mountains:<br />shine, perishing republic.</em><br />– Robinson Jeffers, <em>Shine Perishing Republic</em></blockquote> <p>The 20th Century was, in many ways, the American century. At the close of World War II, the government of the United States created an enduring peace with its opponents that was almost without precedent. It embodied the ideals on which America was founded: democracy, equality, freedom and opportunity – a vision of unbounded hope for an improving future. It seemed natural for Americans to think their country was a master model for the world. </p> <p>This post-war period also produced an unprecedented prosperity. America now hovered at the apex of its worldly fortunes. Never before had wealth been so broadly distributed throughout society. For many people – though, most certainly, not all – this was the era of what came to be called <em>the</em> American dream. Home ownership, a well paid job, a college education, the prospect of security in one's old age: these blessings beckoned to a growing middle class. </p> <blockquote><em>The past does not repeat itself, but sometimes it rhymes.</em><br />– Mark Twain</blockquote> <p>Today, Americans appear to live amid the tarnished squalor of a second Gilded Age. By nearly every measure, America has become a more unequal society. A mere one percent of the population now controls a third of the nation's wealth. Education, health care and home ownership – these now escape the reach of those who thought they were the middle class. Forty years of heedless mass-consumption have turned dreams into delusions. America's awash in debt. Embroiled in a wayward war, its citizens are told to shop.</p> <p>Many feel that the United States is now adrift. Its allies, once so numerous, begin to fall away and chart an independent course. Its citizens, more tellingly, have lost their faith in progress. Polls indicate they now believe their children can't expect a better future. They distrust the institutions of government, of finance, and the corrupting power of large corporations. And yet, the native traits of any culture are deep-rooted. Freedom, opportunity, inventiveness, the power to transform oneself: these values and a love of self-expression still endure. </p> Perhaps it's time Americans began to face themselves. Maybe it's also time that they began to listen to other countries of the world. All of us are immigrants to Black Rock City. What can we dream America to be? As always, any work of art by anyone, regardless of our theme, is welcome at the Burning Man event....Yale Bloorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227612450487544675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872224128844165569.post-46020171593650651722008-07-17T07:11:00.007-04:002008-07-17T07:32:24.111-04:00100th Chicago Mac Race<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_MbxxyumMZ7s/SH8tpOIlCDI/AAAAAAAAAyk/eVcexAPmPC0/s1600-h/DSC_0006.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_MbxxyumMZ7s/SH8tpOIlCDI/AAAAAAAAAyk/eVcexAPmPC0/s400/DSC_0006.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223944278965028914" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_MbxxyumMZ7s/SH8tPLar8rI/AAAAAAAAAyc/JCWisIXlyS8/s1600-h/DSC_0012.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_MbxxyumMZ7s/SH8tPLar8rI/AAAAAAAAAyc/JCWisIXlyS8/s400/DSC_0012.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223943831559074482" border="0" /></a><br />Yes kiddies its that time again......time to forget about world peace.....where you buried the Kuggerands.....where you put that last hit of Owlsley and hang with the sailor trash...... yes Mackinaw Island is calling....drinks at the Pink Pony, hassling tourists and waitresses at Horns....<br />buying fudge to mix with your shrooms........ooooh the fun....<br /><br />here's the schedule.....see ya in Chitown for the kick-off on Friday and hopefully at the island on Tuesday for the Rum Party........<br /><br />http://www.chicagoyachtclub.org/racetomackinac/pdf/2008MacScheduleofEvents.pdfYale Bloorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227612450487544675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872224128844165569.post-25126275291219367942008-07-08T07:23:00.002-04:002008-07-08T07:36:57.352-04:00Syd Barrett (6 January 1946 – 7 July 2006) - RIP<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_MbxxyumMZ7s/SHNRTyiMz1I/AAAAAAAAAx0/xfymaFoH3Z4/s1600-h/23kesey600.1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_MbxxyumMZ7s/SHNRTyiMz1I/AAAAAAAAAx0/xfymaFoH3Z4/s400/23kesey600.1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220605793477119826" border="0" /></a><br />Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
