As Moe said, major cool points for the Velvet Underground nexus.

(I’ve never heard of Vincent Gallo.)

So there goes that Tea Party meme.

Maureen Tucker has had a pretty working class existence lately.

the classic country music of the 1930′s to the 1960′s. Okay I like the 1920′s too but theres only a limit amount of music from that era. I don’t believe I have ever heard a Mariah Carey song–I believe she topped Elvis for the number of #1 records.

I thought Lou Reed played for the Knicks in the 1970′s but maybe that was Lou Brock for the Cardinals.

>>I have never been ‘cool.’

Being “cool” is for people who are prepared to work at it in such fashion that their actions are self-nullifying.

I am reminded of Dennis Miller’s explanation of why Madonna is Madonna (from the 90s): She’s the only one who wanted to be Madonna quite that badly.

Replace “Madonna” with the dreadful “Lady Gaga” for the instant update.

The cool and those who worship them: A pox on both their houses!

Effortlessly cool (the only way to fly): Chris Christie – Prez run in ’12? Give this guy his own TV show! (Surely a TV pilot about a rotund governor is in the works even as I hunt and peck. “Carter Country” redux: “Handle it, Roy! Handle it, handle it, handle it!”)

Cooper is known as a good-cheer, affable character as well as an actor, DJ, restaurateur, and 3-handicap celebrity golfer… but this man is also a serious born-again Christian and a political conservative. Although loathe to use his celebrity to promote personal beliefs, his patriotic, common-sense views have become better-known in recent years.

When asked how a shock-rocker like himself could be a Christian, Cooper responded: “Drinking beer is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that’s a tough call. That’s real rebellion!”

A person is cool, doesn’t mean they’ve lost their mind in the murky insane forest of warper liberalism.

The Concord Project: Fighting for Freedom in the Fall

… and I find it hilarious that the Left is dismayed by one of their icons espousing anti-Socilaist views.

If, however, she had become a crack whore or died with a “spike in her vein” in a back alley somewhere, nobody would’ve heard or cared about it, much less found it remarkable.

Not everyone dies young or stupid or both. Some of us grew up and become conservative.

under the links Moe provided are hilarious. Check them out.

One of their big hits was “Heroin”.

I wasn’t surprised at all that Tom Scholz and Roger Waters (of Boston and Pink Floyd, respectively) were for Obama in 2008. About 90 percent of entertainer-types tend to be liberal/progressive. That’s why I was so amused to see Rosario Dawson at the Republican National Convention that year; I can’t imagine many black celebrities were willing to come out for McCain and against Obama.

The thing is that I’m totally used to being into bands whose members have a left slant, sometimes a pretty strong one. I have just learned to say “whatever” and enjoy the music. Same goes for movie stars and movies. Like Pablo Picasso stated, “The art is more beautiful than the artist.”

But the fascists on the left won’t hear of that. They really can’t make that kind of separation, so they demand fidelity to their views before they become a fan. It’s really funny in a pathetic sort of way, like saying “I’m not going to enjoy your music even if it’s enjoyable because I don’t like your ideas.” Heck, yeah, Streisand is a great singer. So is Madonna for that matter. Pink Floyd–awesome, even though Roger Waters is completely whack. And I could go on….

see or buy a movie or CD by Streisand or whoever or Clooney and Sean Penn. Not one thin dime will i let slip from my wallet to somewhere anywhere near their bank account. Detestable slugs.

Don’t forget.

except in the left wing media. I was a local Rock & Roller in the late sixties in Detroit. We were all capitalists as you learned real fast, finding work was easy, getting paid was the real trick.
At a “Blues Festival” at a local college campus they had managed to get a fairly large crowd attending. Magically Hanoi Jane shows up with her antiwar diatribe and finally gets violently driven off the stage.
The scales fell from my eyes when I got home that evening and the NBC news was showing how she was welcomed and cheered for, whenever she mentioned Nixon the crowd booed.
This was the most creative editing I had ever seen and caused me to NEVER believe anything on the Mainstream media again. The only time the crowd actually cheered was when she left the stage. They had a cut to the cheering crowd when she took the podium. It was also changed from a Blues Festival to a Anti War rally.

but not as good as it’s gonna get come November! I can’t wait to tell my son about this.
