It's almost soup

Hopefully, in the next 24 hours. My first book of poetry will be available on amazon.com. For some reason it's on the UK site but not the US one. I'm trying to work that out as we speak and I'll let you know when's it good to go.

Random tangent

I think the folk at ManCrunch.net knew their ad would never run during the Super Bowl and that the rejection of the over the top ad would generate more free advertising than if it was allowed to run. And no, I’ve never heard of the site either. And that’s saying a lot.

Does Charlie Daniels play a mean fiddle? Not anymore.

Marge Simpson says she shares her birthday with Randy Quaid. Me too. How bout that.

Two channels that didn’t carry the Haiti telethon – the Christian Network and the Disney channel. Hmm.

I love how NBC promotes the Olympics with the tag line “as the athletes gather under the snow and ice of Vancouver.” Silly bunnies.

I was watching a documentary on NWA on VH1 and one of the commercials was for Polygrip. That was ad money well spent.

Katy Perry and Avril Lavigne: both guest panelists on American Idol. Both spokespersons for Proactiv acne treatment. Discuss.

I don’t know if it actually sells insurance, but I think the Progressive commercials are pretty great. Flo’s worth every penny she’s getting.

Tebow’s mom said if she had listened to her doctor’s she would’ve aborted Tebow. Hang on. What side am I supposed to be on here?

Grammy notes

I don’t really like Gogo Gaga, but you’ve got to admit, she’s got a little imagination.

Steven Colbert used to be funny. Used to.

I never realized how much 21 Guns sounds like Telephone Line by ELO. Thank you cast of Glee Day.

The impetus for the next punk movement: Taylor Swift

I know she’s talented but why does Jayonce always leave me cold?

Discuss. Are the Black Eyed Peas the worst band group around these days or ever?

Thank God Record of the Year at least went to a real band that plays rock and roll. Maybe there’s hope.

How come there’re so many performers that want to be MC Hammer? It didn’t work out too well for him.

Oh, Slash. Go back to doing drugs. You were much cooler back then.

For a minute there was life when Stevie Nicks sang Rhiannon, but it’s gone.

Celine Dion in 3-D is not an improvement.

Much as he tries, Jon Bon Jovi will never be Springsteen. There’s a reason for that.

When will David Foster be tried for his many musical crimes?

Maybe it’s just me but I still can’t tell one Dave Matthews song from another.

I feel bad for the person who had to sit behind Lady Gaga’s hat.

How come the only thing that rocked all night was Jeff Beck being Les Paul note for note? Because Les Paul rocked. The guy was a motherfucker.

Battle of the uncool: Tarantino declared winner.

Memo to Lil Wayne: On tv, no one can hear you when you swear. In fact, no one can hear anything. Valuable air time ticking away.

How come Pearl Jam has a big problem with Ticketmaster and making videos but doing an ad for Target?

Album of the year: Taylor Swift. Punkers unite! Please.

Wow! What a horribly bland year for music. Good riddance 2009.
