ZZZZZzzzzzzz

President Barry gave a speech on the budget yesterday. He started yammering on at 1:05pm EST. Isn't that a weird time to give a speech that people might want to hear? Maybe not if you don't really have anything to say and you don't want a lot of people to hear you say nothing firsthand. Can I take this moment to mention that I'm tired of everything being done on East Coast time? One in the afternoon there was ten in the morning for me. I'm in no mood to listen to any President at ten in the morning. I'm barely awake. And I'm not the only one.

Below we have video of Vice President Joe Biden at President Barry's speech. (If for some reason you can't view the video here, you can check it out over at Real Clear Politics.) Poor ol' Joe can barely keep his eyes open for at least a good thirty seconds there. Look, I know it's boring. It's boring as hell. I get that. But come on, man! You're the Vice President of the freaking United States! Can't you at least pretend to pay attention? He didn't talk for very long. He couldn't have held it together until he was done? Did he have a big lunch or something? It's not like that would excuse it or anything, but I'm just saying. If he tends to fall asleep after a large meal, perhaps only stick to a salad on speech day. I'm trying to be sensible and offer ideas here. For once.

RhoDeo 1115 Goldy Rhox 22

Hello, today the 22th post of GoldyRhox, classic pop rock. And once more an album that took it's time before becoming a in the a classic rock staple. Rock chicks were rare at the time, If not for the strength of their songs aswell as their assertiveness we might never have heard of the sisters responible for this album.

Most of the albums i 'll post made many millions for the music industry and a lot of what i intend to post still gets repackaged and remastered decades later, squeezing the last drop of profit out of bands that for the most part have ceased to exist long ago, although sometimes they get lured out of the mothballs to do a big bucks gig or tour. Now i'm not as naive to post this kinda music for all to see and have deleted, these will be a black box posts, i'm sorry for those on limited bandwidth but for most of you a gamble will get you a quality rip don't like it, deleting is just 2 clicks...That said i will try to accomodate somewhat and produce some cryptic info on the artist and or album.

Well todays mystery album isnt one of Rolling Stone Mag alltime greats, and it aint a Canadian band, allthough i always presumed it, or maybe it is, after all they lived and recorded in Vancouver, were screwed big time by a label Mushroom that tried to balloon from them. Anyway the band in question had gone to several lineups until two Californian sisters (Ann & Nancy) joined and that took up writing, singing and playing lead guitar, btw Nancy is still looking great at 56, they are still rocking and just released another succesful album "Red Velvet Car" this one however was their first one and sold more than a million, it scored overseas as well, mainland Europe and UK, subsequent albums and news probably got drowned out by the new music scene that was developping in the late seventies. Whatever it was, going on a cruise with Annie seemed like a great prospect in 76...

Civil War Sesquitennial

Stan and I really wanted to go to Charleston, SC last Tuesday for the 150th anniversary of the first shot fired that started the War of Northern Aggression. But he had to work. We were so disappointed. But I found these photos on the Internet and used them to make a scrapbook layout of the Civil War Sesquitennial.
