News: You didn't think you'd be rid of me that easily, did you?
It took a while, but I must tell you, that the message I posted a few days back was a hoax. Since I didn't, as usual, post a message to let you know that this year's April Fool's Day entry wasn't real or indicative of any change, and partially because I don't have much else to work with, I feel obligated to tell you that the message was a hoax. As a matter of fact, much of the essay was appropriated from a monologue in the movie Pump Up The Volume where the main character announces his decision to keep on doing the radio show, after tragic events happen relating to the show, which are different from "Last Week's Tragic Events In Hawaii" (which not only did not happen, but come a line I took directly from an episode of South Park). Come to think of it, the song I linked to was a bowdlerized version of "Kick Out The Jams", the same song which played after the monologue in the movie, although in the film it was done by Rollins band, although the link had the original artist, The MC5, albeit with the (in)famous opening line changed to "Kick Out The Jams, Brothers and Sisters", which doesn't violate Carlin's Seven like the original did. From Now on, Here's a rule of thumb: If something which sounds false was written on April Fool's Day, until further notice, assume it is until somebody says something about it after April 2.
Band Name of the Day: CureBurger in Paradise. This comes from a South Park episode where money is discovered to be the cure for AIDS. Jimmy Buffett (or a semi-reasonable facsimile thereof) sings a song of this title.
Film Idea of the Day: None this week.
Film Review of the Day: Shine a Light. After using Rolling Stones music in virtually every movie he's made since Mean Streets, and creating several documentaries about the Blues and Bob Dylan's first 23 years, he finally managed to film a concert with The Stones. Notably, the increasingly haggard skin of Mick and Keef is even more apparent with the high-definition Imax screen, and the contrast between how comparatively well Scorsese himself, a few months older than the Stones (except for Charlie), looks in comparison to the Stones is quite surprising indeed. This film introduced me to some of the better, albeit more obscure songs that the band has done, especially "Far Away Eyes" and "Champagne and Reefer".
Quote of the Day: "Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mank ind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words- "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind."
_________Jack Handey
Link of the Day: An e-museum devoted to famous hoaxes. Note: It's amusing to know that the creator of the most famous proponent of Deductive Logic of all time believed in Faeries.
And Now, here's your moment of Zen.
