Yesterday one of the greatest and most powerful soul singers of any time died as a result of a bad heart. The man who gave us Mustang Sally, Wilson Pickett died at the age of 64. The first song i ever heard by him was when he sang with a group called The Falcons[out of Atlanta], "I Found A Love"...

It's almost time for that time honoured magazine to send out the swimsuit edition & give the men of North America a reason to trudge through the rest of the Winter with only the hope of warmer climes and less clothing on the ladies. Thank you,Sports Illustrated :D

This used to be the most fascinating sport for any man to watch[especially in the dead of winter]. But,lately, the quality of the ladies competing has fallen to the level that they are not babeworthy enough to look at. With the sole exception of the Brazilian Team,all the others are shapeless...

Who would have ever thought that a show with a title like that could be so good? Not I! [Until I happened to see an episode and that 's when it hooked me] Another surprising little fact is that it is mostly all Canadian,too..surprising because of the writing and acting--all above most TV...

It's lonely being a wrestling fan because most everybody thinks of the sport as a joke. Basically it is an exhibition of certain athletic skills that take years to learn and master and wrestlers are more athletes than many of the ones in the olympics. Besides,wrestling was one of the original...

On the News this morning ,I saw a group of New Orleans policeman ,lined up with guns aimed at a Black with a small knife in his hand. Did they try to disarm him? Or use their guns to wound him? no,they fired en masse into him until he died.This was totally unnecessary, as there are many methods...

Wife swapping and Swingers Clubs are now legal here..so says The Supreme Court. Who ever said that nothing is ever accomplished during an election campaign was wrong :) I just wish this news had some meaning for me :(

Jimmy Page,super guitarist of Led Zeppelin,has just received his O.B.E.today. It should have been a knighthood :( Still,this is a tremendous honour & i wonder if Robert Plant is a wee bit jealous/

Cnn,last night,had a show on this practice currently being conducted in China. There is a film circulating on the Net ,showing a living dog being skinned while still alive,and then dieing over a 20 minute period.It was said that many cats and dogs are being harvested for their fur and the...

Just bought what I thought was the latest CD by this enormously talented guitarist and singer...and instead ,heard what I would call a Michael Buble impression. One of the songs is written about Mr.Dressup. And instead of the National guitar sound,he is on trumpet and flugelhorn. So,I googled...

Is there anyone on the forum who would care to discuss the finer points of Kirasawa,Mifume,John Woo,etc.? I realize this is a specialized taste, and only one of the many forms of the movies I enjoy,it would be nice to have other opinions of certain films. For example; I just recently found a...

This is the Canadian edition of the world famed alternative encyclopedia set and every one of us should do what I did..buy a copy! It even contains the 10 Worst blunders of the CBC :)

I bet he's regretting giving up his Canadian citizenship now. He plead Not guilty yesterday to charges of embezzlement in Chicago. Which is just wrong,as i am sure he embezzled while living here and while living in England,too. Perhaps His Lordship will receive some of that good old fashioned...

There is something radically wrong with our weather when on Nov.30,it is plus 13 in Saint john and snowing in Vancouver. This is a bit far out, but my theory is that ,due to the overly obesity of most north american,the combined weight has caused the Earth to move off its orbital path enough...

Paul Gadd,once known as Gary glitter[1970's British Rock Star], has been found guilty of naughty acts concerning a young boy in Thailand. Possibly, he is facing a firing squad for his crimes. He should have been put down years ago,for the sake of humanity and for his crimes against popular music :)

Our official first case of the Asian Bird Flu has been found in a BC duck. Thankfully,all British Columbians are totally vegan :)

According to Maxim Magazines list of the 25 Greatest Short Dudes Of All Time...the winner is Angus Young of AC/DC. Personally,I would have gone for Napoleon :)

Yesterday,the House voted for the 700 million dollar cut in the welfare stamp program, while voting down a plan to withdraw troops from Iraq 400 to 3. It is time for yet another American Revolution :x

At a funeral yesterday for a young lad shot to death by local dealers,some of the same ilk arrived and promptly shot a member of the funeral party. Although the police have a description of the car and its 3 occupants,so far there have been no arrests.
