NEW: WILCO - "Born Alone"



NEW. Wilco. BORN ALONE song from The Whole Love.

COOL = this video is reminiscent of videos on MTV when MTV was a platform - a vehicle, if you will - which provided aid in the form of video as a new medium to allow the artists added extensions of expression for their songs. ..

And, well, which was also used to SELL MORE RECORDS through TV (music television). ..

UNLIKE what MTV is now = a giant commercial for the facade of some kind of (cheesy) rock-stardom.

Favorite High School Teacher

This question was posed to the viewers by WorldNewsNow @ 4amish after Red Eye (which had the lovely Diana Falzone on as a guest and Bill Schulz showing us the schwag from FashionWeek). .. It's nice that some shows and media personalities figured out that including their audience (who they rely to tune in) can really add to the conversation (on many levels). ..(For the hottest women in the New everyday Media I gauge by how dynamic and engaging the personality is w/ in the New everyday Media -as well as attractiveness). ..

One of my teachers in high school kept in touch w/ me through my family when I was in university and whenever I was published for poetry he invited me to read a collection of my poems for his classes. So I did. I put together a collection and read for all of his classes that day. It was cool.

Levi's and Adversity



Levi's and Adversity

Come here old friend adversity
I just don't wanna rely on you
Cause I'll ride you 'til the end
Again, bring out the best of me
Make me finally feel there's light
Through black skies and storms
Sometimes I need you for normal
Back to the basics - not so groomed
But knowing who I am in worn Levis

One of the good things the doctor said was it was a "clean break." He sat while others may be watching local NEWS, fixing dinner, driving to some practice or watching "the Five" w/ Greg Gutfeld of Red Eye - he sat and watched life go by - surprising it goes so fast - --faster than the Kentucky bourbon whiskey in his heavy Ralph Lauren glass.

I just want to tell you to tell me - you love me

I been staring @ my hands
Walking city streets alone
Take a stand w/ someone to hold
To create memories in a home

I just want to tell you to tell me - you love me

Seal it with a kiss
I don't even have to be awake
Kiss me on my forehead
So my heart it won't ache
(Oh, it feels like it's gonna break)

I just want to tell you to tell me - you love me

I'll never take you for granted
I'll never go beyond the line
My heart it feels so haunted
I guess I'm just that kind of guy

Hold me tonight
I'm holding you
It feels so right
I always knew

I just want to tell you to tell me - you love me

Obama's Secret Election Connection

She surely was huge for Obama during his first presidential campaign and I haven't been hearing pundits, late nite and the talking heads mentioning her lately so it must be a secret election weapon -because Obama's strategists can't be that dumb!?!...

Summer's Almost Gone: August noon burn gold into your hair

The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California by vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore, and...
    • John 
      Wallace Fowlie the author of this book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/162520.Rimbaud_and_Jim_Morrison gave me a copy and signed it (personalized it) in his home where an orginal Picaso lithograph of Rimbaud + others from like Joan Miro ...hung on his walls = yeah, he wrote something like "to John: Our friendship began here..." ... Only someone like him had the "authority" to turn Jim Morrison into a bonified poet instead of just neanderthal
      rockstar = just a few years before this book was published professor Susan Harris @ PSU teaching poetry 101 gave me an "F" on a paper instructed for interpreting a few lines of a poet on the grounds that Jim Morrison was a rockstar not a poet = so, yeah, after that "F" when this book was released I was like so confused not to mention feeling so misunderstood & wrongly graded. ..

Does Mike Wysocki have an exclusive contract with WDVE?
Since he only gets like 2 minutes on WDVE, I'd like to offer him to do 5 min vlogs for a new media outlet called theneweverydaymedia
I'll pay $50.00 per 5 min vlog w/ an agreement for at least 3. However, the *3 vlogs are to work in these themes:
1.       No Shoes Mike Wysocki – Wysocki goes about his everyday without wearing any shoes whatsoever and we get to see how far he gets. ..and how his day goes.
2.       Wysocki has a boiler-maker w/ the Cowboy Libertarian http://www.cowboylibertarian.com/ - either we get to see Wysocki actually having a shot & a beer w/ the Cowboy Libertarian or the attempts Wysocki executes to try and set-up a boiler-maker w/ the Cowboy Libertarian w/ Wysocki commentary.
3.       The Wysocki Social Experiment – Wysocki befriends and follows around five CMU students. He plays the role o f getting them wasted however just wasted enough to throw off inhibitions but not totally wasted to where they're like crying or violent or freaking out at all – just the state of happy creativity and either talking in a group setting or using social media like facebook to conduct conversation around architecture, physics, music, graphic design

He's Gone




one of those moments in one of those nights that makes me wish I were there - and, yeah, we don't need to document everything and we should live in the moment and appreciate our mind's eye & it's lovely memories - but I'm sure glad someone captured Tara Nevins from Donna the Buffalo doing He's Gone by the Grateful Dead w/ BK3 @ Toad's Place this lusty month of May = because it sure makes us smile. ..

Happy death-day Elvis = Rusted Root "Suspicious Minds"



I've always liked Suspicious Minds from Elvis since I was a kid - along with Heartbreak Hotel these were two of my favorites from "the King." Rusted Root does a real nice rendition of this song on Stereo Rodeo and live. .. Happy death-day Elvis. ..no one quite ate banana, bacon and PB&J sandwiches like you.

Ali Velshi to be replaced by Ashton Kutcher Tweets & clips: 2.5 anchors

Financially the past decade has been a mess.
 
Hope arrived,
 
deflated.
 
Talking heads positioning themselves
to capitalize on anxiety - the condition
of being unemployed without hope.
 
Can daddy retire now? Is daddy diversified
enough? .. .
 
But nothing is new under the sun.
You can't tell me anything different
I know the thing for people like me
- is to wait it out - so let's have fun
while being spoonfed financial NEWS
 
The other nite @ the Teen Choice Awards
Ashton Kutcher was giving money lessons
on how to stay out of debt & not be a slave
The next day CNN $money give him a deal
to replace Ali Velshi on American Morning
everyday with Tweets & clips & two women
= it's now called = 2.5 anchors

For his "pin heads and patriots" bit Billy O had a clip of Ashton Kutcher @ Teen Choice Awards. ..Billy O determined the new lead of 2.5 Men, Ashton, was a patriot for spouting this message: "hey, man, listen, listen, listen, I don't know how many of you people buy shit on credit cards - but, look, man, if you don't have the hard cold cash to pay it off don't go up with the shit house" . ..

Being herd into colleges and universities and getting a conventional degree or two continued by more spoonfed information flowing along "down by the old mainstream" doesn't make some one an intellectual.

How about being noted for outside reading in your classes? How about challenging professors? How about being a leader with your peer group? How about being well rounded enough to communicate with a variety a of people type?

And how about knowing people play for keeps - it's cut throat.

How about turning off the bickering on TV and throwing on some old vinyl?

Jeff Tweedy Thinks "Bon Jovi Ruined Music"



My love for Jeff Tweedy has been strong and now it's all-the-way confirmed = yes, someone thinking on the same strand of web in the cosmic web of life. ..

I like and relate to the lyrics, music, imagery and all Jeff Tweedy invokes on his albums and live performances. I don't feel that way about Jon Bon Jovi = no connection. And like Tweedy's saying, "I just don't even understand." ..
