Deep Thoughts from Shallow Minds

There are times in ones life when instead of searching for something to write about......it just falls into your lap.  Instead of researching examples of the extreme stupid you only have to read the news from "hollyweird."   Sooooo, without further ado, I give you "Deep Thoughts from Shallow Minds."  Todays contributions are from a pair gas bags...........


 Lindsay Lohan offered her unique perspective on the massive hurricane wreaking havoc across the Eastern seaboard.
"WHY is everyone in SUCH a panic about hurricane (i'm calling it Sally)..? Stop projecting negativity! Think positive and pray for peace," she posted on her Twitter page.






Actress Mindy Kaling was also less than impressed with the storm, which has taken dozens of lives.

"9 months from now hopefully we will have some cool Hurricane Sandy babies! On the west coast we never get to bond over weather panic. We're like oh no an earthquake for 2 seconds, then go to spin class or whatever, she wrote.

Music: Madonna Blows It Over Obama

Madonna drew boos and triggered a walkout by several concertgoers after she touted President Barack Obama on her "MDNA Tour" in New Orleans.


The Material Girl asked during Saturday night's performance: "Who's registered to vote?" She added: "I don't care who you vote for as long as you vote for Obama." Drawing boos in touting Obama over Republican Mitt Romney, Madonna followed: "Seriously, I don't care who you vote for ... Do not take this privilege for granted. Go vote."

Madonna is often outspoken. Some Colorado fans, mindful of a mass shooting there, complained she used a fake gun to shoot a masked gunman in a recent concert act in Denver. A Madonna concert in Paris in July drew ire when a video showed a swastika on a politician's forehead.

Music - Uncle Ted and Jessie's Girl

Some folks think Ted Nugent is "bat shit" crazy, while others embrace his positions on Guns, God & Country.  Where you are and what you identify with is as they say "your business."  One thing that can never be said is he is boring.  So it comes as no surprise that he now has a "reality" show on the Discovery Channel.

Like the man himself, the program content is loud, frenetic, philosophical, funny and frustrating...again based on your perspective.

On a TOTALLY different "note", Rick Springfield decided to do an impromptu concert withing the NYC Subway system.  He performed a series of songs, including his monster hit "Jessie's Girl."  As you watch the video, note how many people, total strangers, stop and sing along.  

Music - 2013 Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Nominations

The nominations are in, now all that is left now to do is vote. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced the list of hopeful inductees for the Class of 2013.

True to tradition, the list is a diverse group of artists who have all made an impact in the world of music. This years nominees are Rush, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Public Enemy, Randy Newman, Procol Harum, Blues Band, Paul Butterfield, N.W.A, the Meters, Kraftwerk, the Marvelettes, Donna Summer, Heart, Deep Purple, Chic and Albert King.

Here a musical montage representing the nominees and representative work.  

For the first time ever, fans will be able to vote for their favorite performers to get inducted. In the past only artists, historians and music industry insiders of the Rock Hall have been allowed to vote. All the votes from fans will comprise the “fan’s ballot,” which will count as one in the more than 600 ballots counted to determine the Class of 2013.

A performer only becomes eligible for a nomination after 25 years of their first release. Rush has been eligible for nomination since 1998, but this is the first year that they have appeared on the ballot. This is the first year that both N.W.A and Public Enemy have been eligible for nomination.

The winners will be announced in mid-December, with a ceremony honoring all the inductees on April 18, 2013. In the past the ceremony was held at the Waldforf Astoria in New York, but this year it will be at the Nokia Theater in L.A.

Fans have until Dec. 5 to cast their vote so be sure to cast your vote for the 2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees at Rollingstone.

Music - Brawl at the BET Awards Show

It'a always interesting to hear part of our society profess "love and brotherhood" especially when trying to put forth a united front...against "the man."

This weekend the "black community" had yet another opportunity to see their icons in apparently a more natural habitat.  This time the BET Music Awards in Atlanta.  In an all too common demonstration by all too common people, a fight breaks out backstage at an event where "everyone is just honored to be nominated."    The majority of the winner "praise God" at the podium while packing a .45 and looking for some to "disrespect."

The video is from TMZ who is one of the few major outlets willing to show what really happens when aspects of the worst america has, get together for a friendly little award show. Peace brother.
