CBS: Early Show- Anthony Mason- 'Patti Smith on Jim Morrison'

Source:CBS- CBS News anchor Anthony Mason, interviewing rocker chick Patti Smith.

"Singer Patti Smith discusses her feelings about Jim Morrison, his music, and the first time she met him."

From CBS

I'm guessing Jim Morrison inspired a lot of fellow baby boomers. Patti Smith saying that Jim Morrison was a great poet, I don't know about that not being a poetry fan, or someone who knows much if anything about poetry other than words in poems tend to rhyme. But I do believe The Lizard King was a great writer and a great performer. Roadhouse Blues, I believe is The Doors best song and I believe would give Eric Clapton a run for his money when it comes to blues and blues rock. 

The Doors were not a hippie band, but a 1960s baby boomer (except for Ray Manzarek, born in 1939) blues rock rock and roll band. And Jim Morrison was their star and leader and without him and you replace The Lizard King with a solid vocalist and entertainer, you still have a very good rock band. But they would be like Aerosmith without either Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. Very solid, but unless the replacements were also great, nothing really exceptional about the band. Morrison was the franchise player for The Doors. 

Wet Leather Biker: Erbo Rocker Leather Jeans

"Erbo Rocker leather pants with wide legs from the 80´s.....sorry, have to let the legs out more - at the moment a bit short - but just bought them on ebay....

From Wet Leather Biker

Rocker leather jeans? They look more like cowboy leather jeans that cowboys and other westerners wear, including cowgirls when they' are on their horses, ranches, and involved in other western activities.

With the chain wallet that the man is wearing in the photo and video, those are very common with biker men and to some extent biker women. Who wear chain wallets both with their leather and denim jeans and they're out on their bikes. For obvious reasons and style is one of them, but to protect their wallets when they're on the road, as well as around other bikers and people involved in biker culture.

Leather jeans of course are very common in rock and roll culture. People in that community can thank Jim Morrison from The Doors for that. But leather jeans, leather jackets, leather boots, and other leather clothing, have been a big part of rock culture at least since the early 1980s with the heavy metal wave, if not the late 1970s.

Jim Morrison from the late 1960s was really the first famous rocker to wear a leather suit that included black leather jeans, black leather jacket and black cowboy boots.

Oscars: Grace Kelly- Receiving an Oscar For Country Girl (1955)

Source:Oscars- The Amazing Grace Kelly, winning an Oscar for Country Girl, in 1955. 

"Grace Kelly wins Best Actress for The Country Girl at the 27th Academy Awards. William Holden presents the award."

From Oscars

Never seen The Country Girl, or have even ever heard of The Country Girl. I’ve seen country girls and of course have heard of country girls. And I love them generally, because they tend to be very healthy women physically, who take care of themselves and love how they look and present themselves.

But as far as commenting on that movie, it would be like a blind man trying to land a 747 on someone’s driveway. Why bother risking that, with all the potential fallout that could come as a result.

But I’m familiar with Grace Kelly, the Amazing Grace and can easily see why she won an Oscar for a movie I’ve never heard of. She’s The Amazing Grace after all, who could making talking about the weather sound fascinating. Because that is how great of a voice she had and how great of an actress she was.

The Young Turks: 'Are African Americans Allowed To Criticize President Obama?'

To answer The Young Turks question: Apparently so because Cornel West and other far-leftist African Americans are criticizing President Obama all the time and accusing the President of not being "black enough", whatever the hell that means.

“As new details emerge about Gen. David Petraeus’ affair with Paula Broadwell, Meghan McCain, Michael Moynihan, and John Avlon debate the scandal’s potential repercussions, on today’s NewsBeast.”

Source:The Daily Beast

Sounds like a real reality TV show in the works, perhaps Meghan McCain will produce it. You heard that here first. As far as David Petraeus and his sex scandal, I guess this is the clincher that American politics and government is never boring and why we have a political junky industry. And for so-called Progressives today ( I'm being too nice with the word Progressives ) I guess who believe that America should be more like France, well we are when it comes to our public officials and how they live their personal lives.

 Political junky, is no longer just a hobby for unemployed politicians who can't seem to win another public office and keep losing. And spend all of their free time, which is really all of their time, especially if they have a Congressional pension, watching C-SPAN, CNN, MSNBC and FNC. But a way for writers and pundits to make their living. To tell Americans how much they don't know about American politics and government.

As far as Benghazi, if it wasn't for that story, what would House Republicans do? At least some of them like Speaker John Boehner, are smart enough to know they can't repeal ObamaCare in this Congress with a Democratic Senate and Democratic President, that the law is named after. Most of them probably never have any attention of leaving Congress, at least the House of Representatives. So they don't want to work with Senate Democrats to pass anything constructive that President Obama might actually sign. And risk being primaried and having to go home and work for a living. Like washing cars, or hosting radio talk shows, teaching gym in high school, or whatever they were doing in 2009 before they decided to run for the House. So all they have left in their one page playbook that a five-year could read is a bogus (to be too nice) Benghazi investigation.

Elio Blas: 'Janet Jackson Live- L'Olympia Paris (2011)'

Source:Elio Blas- Up Close and Personal, with Janet Jackson.

"Janet performing 'If+Scream+Rhythm Nation' at L'Olympia in Paris 27/06. 

Amazing concert!!" 

From Elio Blas

One of the sexiest performers of all-time. To call Janet Jackson a club dancer who is someone who see at clubs going off with all sorts of moves to the music is playing, would be accurate and wouldn't be giving her enough credit. She's made club dancing her profession, but she does it in front of 20,000 fans generally, depending on the size of the arena that she's playing at. 

Janet is so much better than even the most beautiful and sexiest club dancer with the tightest body outfit and all of the sexiest moves. She's made sex appeal an honorable profession, because she's not some strip dancer on the stage at some strip joint wearing basically nothing and showing off her boobs. She's fully dress and so are her backup dancers, but in tight outfits. Showing off their moves and bodies and not doing this to someone else's music, which is what a club dancer would do, but doing it to her music and the music she created and to her own songs and the albums that she created and has her name all over it.

The Daily Beast: Howard Kurtz & Bill Hemmer- 'The Next Four Years at Fox News'

Source:The Daily Beast- Howard Kurtz and Bill Hemmer talking about the future of Fox News.

“President Obama’s re-election might seem as nothing has changed, but that doesn’t mean it will be boring, says Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer. He talks with Spin Cycle’s Howard Kurtz about Megyn Kelly’s ‘awkward’ election night moment with Karl Rove, and why the astute viewer will watch all the news channels.” 

From The Daily Beast 

The next four years at Fox News will hopefully start with a revaluation of how the report the news. Because how they’re doing it now, is not helping and informing the people who they speak for which are right-wing Tea Party Republicans and the Far-Right in America.

Even if because Republicans actually believe a lot of the, lets call it spin that comes from FNC and take it seriously and many times it’s just half-truths if that, which leaves a lot of Republicans, especially the professionals who either are politicians themselves or work for politicians, with at best half of the news. As we saw with the polling of the Romney-Obama election.

In the last few days only FNC thought that Mitt Romney was going to win (or that’s what they were saying publicly) or even had a good shot at winning. Where the rest of the mainstream media saw a clear bounce or bump in the favor of President Obama. Especially in states like Florida and Virginia, over the weekend with Ohio never moving towards Governor Romney either.

It’s fine and I’m even for a news organization having their commentary that clearly leans in one direction or the other, I’m not getting on FNC for that. But what they need to do if they want to get taken seriously and be considered a credible source for news outside of the Republican Party, is separate news from commentary, which is what The Wall Street Journal does.

It’s fine a way to separate the news from the commentary. Take Sheppard Smith’s lead on this who actually has a real newscast, the FOX Report. Just report the news no matter who it hurts, or helps and then have your commentators explain what they think it means. As well as bringing in more inform commentators. Not relying so much on the Dick Morris’s and Karl Rove’s of the world who are really just there to speak for their side of the aisle, but bring in people who actually know what they are talking about. When you bring them in to talk about the issues. Which CNN does with Republicans consultant Alex Castollanos.
