Re: Apathy
So Kurt Cobain echoes the youthful angst of every little pseudo-rebel for at least the 5,500 years of recorded history. Now, how about some new news!

Re: It's Saturday Night!
I went through a flannel-shirt-wearing grunge phase when these bands came out in the early 90's. It didn't last long, but this music impacted and spoke to almost everyone my age. The thing is, I think the image of the Gen Xers - that the media largely created - as cynical, unmotivated slackers is misleading. Sure, some of us reject consumer culture and distrust institutions more than the generations that came before us. But that's because we grew up in the "me" 70's and 80's and witnessed...

Sorry, Billy Bob, I burned the pics - along with a few of me on Panama City Beach funneling some beer. (I'm a mom now, you know.)

Kurt Cobain Death Investigation to be Reopened
http://unitedmediapublishing.com/victory-kurt-cobain-death-investigation-to-be-reopened-sources-say/ Looks like all the hard work, documentaries, and petitions finally paid off. Even if you're not a fan (I'm not) if you're familiar with the case, it was a botched investigation from the get-go-. Heck, the entire procedure has been changed over the mistakes made in this case. Even if the outcome remains the same (it probably will) at least a professional job can be done this...

Re: Pricillia comes off the top ropes onto Larry King
Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977). therefore he would be 72 years old. Kurt Cobain (lead singer of Nirvana) is the #1 highest earning deceased person of 2007. Full list here. The Sergeant Pepper / Paul McCartney thing was explained by James Sullivan like this: The main clue on the cover to the whole "Paul Is Dead" mystery -- for the uninitiated, many fans at the time bought into a widespread rumor that Paul McCartney had actually died in a car crash and had been quietly...

Good investigation--but also, if you place a mirror halfway down the middle of the album and tilt it forward slightly, it DOES read "Paul is Dead"...kind of a HUGE Beatles fan...

Yeah, it must be nice, right? "Their estates continue to make money by inking deals involving both their work and the rights to use their name and likenesses on merchandise and marketing campaigns. To land on this year’s list, a star needed to make at least $7 million between October 2005 and October 2006." http://www.forbes.com/2006/10/23/celebrities-earnings-f...lr_topearnintro.html

Re: Sharpton Wants FCC to Ban Limbaugh
I don't see anything wrong with either of these quotes. There were others that, while not necessarily politically correct, were true. You also have to look at the context of the statements. Rush, hard to believe, sometimes uses a form of humor called "satire." Say it with me, class. "SATIRE." Of course, I guess you can only make fun of people if you're a liberal, since free speech doesn't apply to conservatives.

Re: 20 Minutes with the President, A case for 9/11 and treason.
And there were hundreds of people involved in the JFK conspiracy, just as it was portrayed in Oliver Stone's film. Do you know there are people who think that film is based on facts? Are you one of them? Artistic freedom is all that's behind the making of JFK. No, I don't always trust my government, but why would they bring down buildings and kill innocent people? Bush didn't have enough on his plate? Have you noticed how gray the man's hair got while he was in office? Sorry, not buying it.

Irish, did I say that I believe the government brought the buildings down? *edit* My thinking on this would be along the lines of incompetence by our government.
