End of PLAY this marks the end of my feeble attempt to blog a TV program Live.. I think I got most people's opinions wrong.. so there.. 7:56:20 PM    comment [] Now they're discussing "intra artist opression" that happens when artists don't like ppl who don't follow the "cool & trendy" causes.. Janine thinks its "absurd".. the ppl could have boo'd Michael Moore _after_ he was finished.. another interesting thing that she mentioned was that the boo'ing came from the balconies (implication being that "non artists" there were waiting in the wings - literally - to pounce on Michael Moore as soon as he opened his mouth .. hehehe.. these reich-wingers are a proactive bunch!) Michael Stipe said that ppl don't have to bow down to Clear channel (who apparently owns 1100 radio stations and is right leaning) and just use other channels.. He mentioned Google.. but one thing ppl don't realize is that when Google becomes the information powerhouse... then it would be vulnerable to being bought off by ppl who want to manipulate the query engine to their own strategic ends.. (just my two cents) last act is a Sudanese group singing .. "Don't Bomb Iraq".. 7:55:16 PM    comment [] Should we be reading and enjoying art when War is going on? this war in my opinion is weighing heavily on the conscience of the West.. hehehe.. you love to fuck the 85% in the ass.. but you don't like the means to that end.. you want your meat in pretty clear packages.. but you don't want to see how the cows are slaughtered.. how sick 7:44:27 PM    comment [] Blogging "PLAY" Janine Garrafolo [sp], Michael Stipe and others artists.. This Toronto RAP group opened the show with "This is not the war ON terror.. this is a war OF terror!" hmm.. interesting.. I should get their CD?? .. R.E.M .. antiwar song REM HQ .. I like Janine's response when Jian asked her about "Artists for peace" or some such.. ie; it is absurd.. its like saying Should Plumber's be against the War? .. I remember this snippet from FOX news channel. Bill Orielly talking about all the celebrities including Janine.. who never went to college.. and then Bill boasting his Masters degrees.. etc.. reminds me of the parable that if you load an ass with books.. it doesn't make it a scholar! hehehe :) but I digress.. One artist on the show was telling how the airport security ppl telling the artist who wore an anti-bush shirt that it was "un-american" are you fucking kidding me? is this Nazi Germany part deux or what? [commercial break].. okay blogging a event in real time is a pain in the ass.. here are my thoughts so far. Jian is doing this show cuz he's showing up next saturday in Nathan Philips Square .. Obviously .. I'm just being ridiculous here.. that may have something to do with it .. but Gian is pretty cool so I take my comment back.. The Girl in the new ING commercial is kinda hot.. what I find creepy is the old guy who, without notice pops out of screens behind these new spokespeople to say "..and SAVE _your_ money..".. CREEEEEEPY!.. the chick remains hot! [back to PLAY] An IRAQI musician (Saif Shaheen).. calling for Peace .. yada yada yada.. why am I blogging this program? 7:41:00 PM    comment [] The little girl in orange dress .. One man's body was still in flames. It gave out a hissing sound. Tucked away in his breast pocket, thick wads of banknotes were turning to ashes. His savings, perhaps. Down the road, a little girl, no older than five and dressed in a pretty orange and gold dress, lay dead in a ditch next to the body of a man who may have been her father. Half his head was missing. Its not as pretty as CNN made it out to be.. TruthOut.org 4:03:46 PM    comment [] Does it all have to make sense? Slices of the war The fascist says and reminds me of the slices of people that his bombs raining down on them make "Monstrous " is the "liberation" task we have undertaken says the neo-fascist "Freudian slip" I think Will you eat all the food? Will you drink all the drinks? Will you live by yourself in a world which you have rendered barren? Asks a man On a street filled with powerless anger oblivious to his desparate questions The most powerful nation on the planet gorges itself on big-macs 3:09:01 PM    comment []
