Fake News?

As we watch the evening news, there seems to be a plethora of scams, and there is no end to the people that just seem to hand over their hard earned money to scammers, that spin some of the wildest stories I have ever heard, like seriously if someone calls and tells you to move all you money to an off shore bank account there should be so many bells ringing and alarms going off, but it still happens. So if you want to give away your money just private message me.

We then seen an amazing Mexican tunnel dug 70’ under the ”wall” and it is a mile long, it has an elevator, ventilation, electricity, like seriously that’s some serious engineering, just imagine the amount of red tape and bull shyt that would be involved in digging a one mile long tunnel seventy feet deep here…just saying

The world is trying to recreate and analyze the horrific helicopter crash that killed nine, here is the reality the pilot just got disoriented in the fog and flew into a hill, it’s a tragedy but let’s let those affected morn in some peace.

Then there is the whole Chinese virus outbreak thing that has the world running for cover, we see lots of masks out here in the desert, but it’s all about protection from dust not a virus. Why does all this shyt come from China, thats why I always avoid all the packaged food that is prepared in China, i have always wonder why so much of the frozen seafood at the supermarket is packaged there, don’t believe me, just look next time it will be either China or Vietnam. This is now apparently worse than the sars out break about twenty years ago, it seems to me it started in China also, then everybody says don’t you want to travel the world, quick answer…NO!

Then of course is the whole impeachment thing, I’m not really sure what to make of it, but in true political fashion all the layers from the Clinton impeachment era that said lying about have sex was impeachable but lying about everything else is ok now…as I always have said I have no direct skin in this mess either way but like why can someone not stop this man from saying stupid things, until the citizens make their choice again in about nine months, if he is doing as great as his supporters believe than he will be re-elected of if he isn’t that he will be voted out and the country moves on to 46. Either way this has not been a trial by definition in any ones world, as any vote seems to be totally partisan, so why did we have this political show (trial) when the outcome was a for gone conclusion?

And of course there is the big game is this Sunday, the 49ers and the Chiefs is being played in Miami, I think we have seen most of the super bowl ads already, I’m just hoping for a good football game, and maybe some decent officiating this year, after last years failures… I know I may be expecting too much from the NFL, but I can hope can’t I. We also have the Phoenix Open golf tournament this week as well, always an entertaining tournament, with the crazy 16th hole, with huge crowds…great to watch but I wouldn’t want to be there in the crowds.

The Grammy Awards

Rant warning!

Well let’s just say I have seen and heard a lot of things in my life, I can remember Elvis Presley, the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. And I remember my father telling me how terrible that music was, you see my dad was a country music lover, and the old country Roy Rodgers, Gene Audrey, George Strait, you get the idea. We only had one radio station that the old radio in the barn would pick up CKOX out of Woodstock and they only played rock and roll for one hour a day and it was from five to six which was when we were milking the cows. I would turn it up every time I walked by the radio and my dad would turn it down ever time he was close. Oh there were many heated debates on the lack of talent required to make this rock music, and the hair cuts on these degenerates was a whole new debate…so I have always tried to keep an open mind of new music styles.

Ok, well I’m willing to admit I have lived through the New Kids on The Block, and the like, but I just couldn’t get past the whole rap craze thing, I have never heard such foul mouthed ungrateful people who sung of killings and whores, disrespecting pretty much any and every one of any authority. Pretty much just noise and in most cases not even good noise, not having a real beat, and in most cases can not be played over the air waves without huge bleeped out sections, the kind of noise that only gets a skip in my little world of streaming music. I really thought it couldn’t get any worse and then on the Grammys tonight there was some kind screaming grunting noise from something called Tyler the Creator, well that was about five minutes of my life that I will never get back and I still have no idea what he was doing other than possibly his diaper was on backwards…it was just bad and even scarier he won a Grammy for some style of noise.

And as the evening goes on there is just more and more bleeping, I am not even close to a prude, after spending forty years in the automotive world, oh if I pinched a finger I could swear a blue streak with the best of them. But to swear and curse for absolutely no reason in a song, that adds no value, and only degrades those doing it, I can’t imagine trying to explain such trash to young people listening to this garbage being produced by some very popular people…I would have said artists but I think of an artist as some one who creates timeless music and doesn’t need to add shock value, but even Steven Tyler of Aerosmith is getting bleeped tonight…has music fallen to this level…the answer is actually very obvious. I can remember when Elvis was on the Sullivan show and the cameras weren’t allowed to show his gyrations, oh how this music industry has decayed, most of the performers couldn’t carry a tune in a basket, let a lone sing in tune, and how degrading when they honour some gangster thug rapper on the same screen as Kobie Bryant. I don’t think overpaid athletes are hero worthy either but I do believe that they deserve not to be remembered with raping criminals that get shot…just saying.
