Not getting the Russell Brand appeal.
Then again, I find neither Katie Perry nor Megan Fox more than mildly pretty so I am clearly out of sync with popular culture.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Because books.
Megan Foz looks completely vapid to me, although I can see, objectively, that she's very pretty.
Katie Perry is an adorable, lush little thing, on the other hand, imo.
I wound up turning them back on, and as Ailleann said to me earlier, the whole thing was just sort of fabulously trainwrecky and over the top. Pink was truly fantastic, though.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
Such a trainwreck. But I bet it took a lot of pressure off Russell when Kanye stepped in and stole the show right at the beginning. (Douchebag.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So sad to hear about Mary Travers dying of cancer. Peter, Paul & Mary were a big part of the soundtrack of my childhood.

Peter, Paul & Mary were a big part of the soundtrack of my childhood.
Seriously. PP&M and Joan Baez were the only 20th-century albums my parents had. Although, occasionally, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass and the Royal Tahitian Dance Company got thrown into the mix.
Of course, in the car, it was pretty much all Johnny Cash all the time.

Because books.
My childhood soundtrack was the Carpenters, the Kingston Trio, the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack, other show tunes, all my dad's jazz (Stan Kenton especially), and whatever was on AM radio in the car.
Then Mom got into Manilow and it all went downhill ...

My parents had maybe 40 or 50 LPs (Jim Neighbors comes to mind) but I don't recall a single time they ever played any of their records around us. I remember my Aunt mailed us an Elton John tape when my parents got a car with an 8-track player back in '75, so that got played a lot. But it was always us kids picking 8-tracks. Then we got an 8-track stereo so we would make our own tapes.

My parents played music all the time, but it was generally either Bach (my mother) or Beethoven (my father). Common ground was found with Gilbert & Sullivan. Most importantly, Mozart was for sissies.
