Subject: Clean-up: Joplin, MO

How does a disaster like Joplin get cleaned-up? Do people actually sift through or does it get bulldozed and piled-up and burned like a funeral pyre or loaded into dump trucks and dumped into landfills? Is the metal used for scrap? ...separated from phosphorus and nonphosphorus metals? Are like the old aircondition units recycled properly?

 

I mean, how does a monumental disaster like this get cleaned-up in an efficient, environmentally sound and sustainable manner?

 

And, how much is the cost, who's paying and who's getting paid and receiving the payments?

 

Where's the reporting on this?

Thank you.

Dear Dave, Molly and Clayton,

 

What is your best attribute as a Fox & Friends anchor? (w/out using the answer: "my producer")

 

What is your best asset as a Fox & Friends anchor? (w/out using the answer: "my producer")

 

What qualities behind-the-scenes, off air, off camera, add to your success on-the-air and in front of the camera?

 

What non-formal, non-news-industry experience or practice as a young adult helped prepare you for an anchor on Fox & Friends?

 

Would you feel as comfortable on-air, on camera on the Fox & Friends set in jeans and a tee shirt and your choice of shoe as in designer, powerhouse, professional clothes (standard for the standard)?

 

With Don Cannon being a 1 and Keith Oberman being a 10, what number do you best identify with using a 1 - 10 scale?

 

Could you read off  the prompter w/ a couple martini's under your belt? Do you need all of the script ready to roll or with your producer in your ear could you deliver unwritten, unedited BREAKING NEWS and elaborate off the top of your head if your producer has a seizure and you can't cut to break?

 

Finally, if you were a smoker, would you smoke Marlboro Lights or Natural American Spirits (organic tobacco with no additives or preservatives)? Or, even if not a smoker, would you rather be exposed to second-hand-smoke from Marlboro Lights or Natural American Spirits (organic tobacco with no additives or preservatives)? ...or doesn't it matter?

When Egos GO BAD: Elway

 

With the NFL lockout in full swing, John Elway must really be bored.

Somehow Elway -- the Denver Broncos vice president and Hall-of-Fame quarterback -- became aware of the Fort Collins, Colo., punk band "Elway," and decided he's just not cool with the group using his surname.

The Broncos legend's lawyer has requested that the band change its name, but stopped short of suing or issuing a cease and desist order.

The band, to its credit, was mostly amused. In a statement released via punknews.org, the band acknowledged the letter and suggested Elway had better things to do in the wake of the Broncos' disastrous 2010 season.

"We have no intention of changing the name again. We love the name, regardless of what connotations are inferred by the listener. Surely, if the Dead Kennedys could become one of punk's most popular bands without incurring litigation, Elway can keep their moniker and continue making so-so music for our dozens of fans to enjoy."

Score a point for Elway -- the band, that is. And now the group has now received more press than it ever would have had Elway minded his own business. There have to be quite a few people perusing the band's MySpace site, rocking out to songs like "Wolf Shirt," which to be honest, isn't a bad little jam.

Anyway, it's better than anything Elway or his team have produced in the last year. Maybe he's jealous.

this is the concert March of 69 when the Flying Burrito Bros opened for the Grateful Dead atthe Avalon Ballroom ... Bear taped it and held the masters and the rights and finally w/ some help released it and the Ameoba people helped it get out and it's on a double disc but if you haven't picked it up yet --- here's the concert (one disc - maybe 2).

also, how about the movie w/ Johnny Knoxville playing Phil Kaufman called Grand Theft Parsons ... you dudes = only in L.A.

new predictions

just within the last month or two i've discovered and been listening to this song Aretha Franklin and Etta James have sung that GP is singing here (included below). ... ... ... if a man can dig this song the way women around GP said he dug songs and women and what made GP so beautiful & compelling -which also made the likes of the hardened original gangster of the music business Keith Richards fall in love w/ him- was his conviction and how he used that conviction to make some of the best misunderstood music = inspiring those around him, those to come and those still to come. .. ... ... ... Well, so, if a man can really dig this song, then i think they have a good chance of really making it with a good woman. .... .... .... now, of course, GP was a rocker in a free-wheelin' time so, relationships can get messy --- and then apply a constant heavy dose of alcohol (the true American way) = and well. ..that's expected and any other thought is naive. .... .... ... However, if it's a man who's like in economics and finances and politics and we're supposed to trust them w/ money (our money) and to govern in a fair and just manner = well, if they can't keep it in their pants and show some respect, then ... i don't know. ..

I know that the big rock bands / the big label acts make the majority of money for the record company which allows for new acts to be signed and also those bands who you have to scratch the surface a bit to be allowed to enjoy because the radio sure as hell won't be playing them ... and nowadays the latter bands with a sustainable following and integrity filled talent (sometimes genius) can say "forget you" label and start their own label and succeed as everyday musicians (even rockstars).

In 1982 I was playing along w/ Van Halen records. I met Jack Glades from Night Ranger in a lobby @ PeachTree Hyatt in Atlanta when i was 12 yrrs of age and he had invited me to sit down to talk w/ his & his girlfriend and even gave me a hug when we finished speaking. ..I was thrown off the football team because I left practice to see the Beastie Boys open up for Madona in 84. ..I think it was 88 when i met the Violent Femmes in like 88 back when I was an avid listener to WXXP Pittsburgh which played songs like Under the Milky Way, Judas Kiss, Black Coffee in Bed, Can't get Here from There, Watching the Detectives, etc.
At university in the early 90's I'd go to the library and listen to archived music ranging from authentic recorded African drumming & chanting to "the blues" played & recorded on front porches of old slave shacks. ..I met the LemonHeads (Evan Dando = playing pool @ a private party in Milwaukee while i attended Marquette U.), etc. ...

So i do know music a bit = and in a geeky obsessive way. I'm enjoying a lot of Gram Parsons now.

The WDVE morning show mostly plays big band artists & acts (almost exclusively) in accordance with the unwritten and well written laws of the music industry and how things are done at big rock & roll stations that are the biggest in their city.

But that's OK. ... I don't have to listen to Van Halen, etc. over and over again (and like it). .. especially when I don't think he/Eddie is a better guitar player and musician compared to Dean Ween (mickey melchiondo) of Ween .. . moreover Ween has been around since like 90 = signed on Elektra as teens and in like 93 already toured Europe and cranking out records --- and, now actually, more meaningfully (and relevant) than Van Halen, they still get around ... and I'd say Dean Ween / Mickey is probably the better human be-ing too ... especially with this venture Guide Service & Archangel Sportsfishing http://www.mickeysfishing.com/ in his native waters of New Hope, PA and NJ. ..

Mickey states he's been obsessed w/ fishing these New Hope & NJ fresh + salt waters for a long time and, keeping your safety first, if you can hang in w/ a positive attitude you can see why his everyday is so special + he lists himself as a pretty good conversationalist = and this i know he is = as sitting w/ him & two others @ Dee's Cafe in a booth on the south side of town 5 or 6 years ago after a show in Pittsburgh (which they always so graciously include as a stop). .. i had an awesome time.


Eddie Van Halen is over-rated. And, what's he doing for his local community and fans in such an enagaging everyday way?

Hi, remember that blue Sunday I stood outside the Fox and Friends window @ 48th and 6th during the show (after Rusted Root at Manhattan's Union Square or whatever that shabby shiek venue is called there)?... My wife called me to tell me she saw me and that you turned around and waved ... But just as I didn't answer that call ... I didn't acknowledge the wave or that someone inside was paying attention to me ... You know, I don't really like cameras and being filmed or shot so that's one of the reasons I am amazed by some of new everyday media who can pull the whole thing out of the box ... At first the new everyday media was just to get my poetry, points of view and philosophy across ... Now, years later I guess I'm surprised that while pickin' my six string acoustic guitar like a blue grass wind whirling through the tips of trees across the mountains and valleys I stop and take a snap because I truly admire your abilities and attributes.

Princess

Almost everyday she'd hear her parents say,

"stick around, kid, the weather will get better!"

It was comforting but there was a blanket of gray.

She was taunted by chilly receptions and dead eyes.

"You don't like?!" "No." Why?!" "I just don't like her."

"She's never done anything to me. Just don't like her."

Oh, and they let her feel it. If you've ever read that

existential classic "The Trial" by the German Franz Kafka

then you could sympathize with the paranoia and unkind

eyes always upon you, judging, lying, always on trial but

you never know why & are never given the chance to stand.

However, she did stand-up for herself her own special way -

Chin up. Smiling. Polite. Kind. Generous. Complimentary.

Intelligent. The realization of "yeah, they are just jealous."

Being the official Princess now and just not name-called-that

She was quite confident she had taken the high road as the

sun shone brightly through the stained glass and in her mirror.

bought herself enough of the good stuff to just get by never bothering to ask herself much, nonetheless, why we all just move along anyway - you win or you lose no one ever seems quite satisfied so she shifted on from town-to-town, toll after toll, man after man, toad after toad, fan after fan. .. "hey WDVE Pittsburgh, are you feelin' all right?!" what are you to do but spin her tune? the label executives are saying it's so cool. soon the streets have this aroma of this soup and at a boil or at a simmer depends on whether there's a-lid-on-it so who's the one w/ the spoon? and when you find out it's her - first you're mad she's the one who has made you so so sad.

Walk out the Door

Oh, you don't love me anymore

And, you're gonna leave just like before

Take your things – walk out that door

Some things are worth keeping

Some you don't mind throwing out

Or losing when it's your choice to.

Yeah, 'cause you're really winning

Something you chose to shout out

Not drawing to play a loser like before

When you became so "happy" & adored

Oh, you don't love me anymore

And, you're gonna leave just like before

Take your things – walk out that door

Not gonna force this; take these things

One of us should just walk away

Up and out – walk out the door

Like, we can still be friends

Someone to hold on a cold night

On the long run what really matters?

For now it's too shattered. (and I'm glad)

Oh, you don't love me anymore

And, you're gonna leave just like before

Take your things – walk out that door

Walk out that door just like before

The otherday I awoke and I hear Ali Velshi's booming straight ahead voice and Christine Romans and they're talking about money and everybody is so dire - better listen up if you wanna make it through the apocalypse. ..

A couple hours ago I woke up from a dream where I was @ this posh beach side resort w/ Keith and Mick and at one point my behavior was a little erratic and I was drinking too much even for Mick and Keith (well, esp Mick) and they confronted me and I told them to fuck off and go ahead and go ... That I didn't need them. And when I saw their surprise (genuine) I apologized and we all hugged.

And Keith broke out this original song impromptu on the guitar.

The words were cool - the versus the chorus ... And it was all mapped out for me on the guitar ... Keith was right in front of me playing.

I felt rich. I woke feeling rich that I had a cool song (words and music). In my mind I went over the chords and made some adjustments for my level of playing.

Then a fell asleep and just woke up and I forgot but only parts ...
"Oh, you don't love me anymore
You're gonna walk right out the door
Take your things like you did before

Fuck. Well, at least I have the sound of the chords in my head and those words to work with ... And having a song to sing makes me feel rich.

Last night it was asked to one of the young tea party freshmen, "has some of the momentum been lost?"

If it has it's sad commentary that just to get to the point of electing new blood that has representation opposite of those freaky liberals and right wingers and career politicians there has to be something "radical" like the tea party movement.
