John Lennon's killer up for parole/John Lennon's tooth still hanging around

 Mark David Chapman, 57, will be granted a parole hearing this week. This will be the seventh parole hearing he has had.  That being said, obviously he will be denied and go back to being a waste of space in a prison cell.  It wasn't until a few months ago that I visited the actual place (the Dakota building across from "Strawberry Fields" in Central park) where it happened.  The story is still pretty chilling looking back.  There are a few facts that a lot of people don't know...

Paul Ryan loves RATM, Tom Morello hates Paul Ryan

Mitt Romney's recent VP pick is a man named Paul Ryan.  I do not know much about this turkey, but if Romney endorses him, I do not want to know much about him.  Unfortunately though, I did not escape learning one fact about the man.  He claims that Rage Against The Machine is one of his favorite bands.  He isn't a fan of the lyrics of course, but the music he feels is totally awesome! 

Bruce Springsteen to re-write National Anthem

 First and foremost, apologies for the lack of posts lately.  Been working like a dog...well, I guess if dogs worked a lot or at all.  But enough about me, let's talk about someone people care about slightly more: The Boss. A recent poll done by 60 Minutes and Vanity Fair names Springsteen as the leading choice to re-write the National Anthem.  Following Bruce was Dolly Parton, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan and Weird Al.. Okay I may have added the last one. 

New York City to host Greatest Free Concert Ever.

That's right.  It has been confirmed that on September 29th, Neil Young, The Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, Band Of Horses and K'naan will be playing at the Great Lawn at Central Park.  The purpose of the concert is to draw attention to global poverty.  I can get behind this for sure.  I have been trying to do this for a while now by wearing filthy ripped jeans and stained t-shirts, however, most people just thought it was an attempt to bring back "grunge".

Tom Waits new video, weirdo approved.

 Tom Waits released his new video today for the song "Hell Broke Luce" off of his last record Bad As Me.  The song features Keith Richards and Marc Ribot on guitar, flea on bass and Casey Waits on drums.  The guitar parts Richards plays are pretty obvious, signature Keef, however the bass I can't quite distinguish.  Either way Waits voices sounds like that of a man who has been eating chalk his whole life, and washing it down with turpentine. Pretty awesome.  In the video he is pulling a house with a rope.  That is pretty impressive for a 62 year old man.

Lost my Sunglasses, what does this have to do with Jack White?

 So about two months ago I dug up this old pair of sunglasses I had.  Not just any old sunglasses, they were eh hem, Ray Bans sunglasses.  I bought them forever ago, and within the first month of owning them, a couple of the screws fell out and immediately vanished.  Yeah, just like that.  I wasn't even like, being violent with them or anything... Now anyone who has lost a screw from these things, knows that you can't get a replacement without flying out to Italy and getting them from Ray himself...so I deemed them as dead.

Lana Del Ray sang a song about Courtney Love's Vagina

According to Courtney Love, the Nirvana song "Heart Shaped Box" was written about her vagina, and she wanted to make sure that Lana Del Rey, who recently covered the song, knew.  Courtney reached out to Del Rey via Twitter, but later removed the tweets.  I'd file this under Love being a psychotic attention whore that is most likely jealous that no one covers Hole songs.   She should not have a Twitter account, as even her daughter Frances said(after Love accused Grohl of hitting on her) "Twitter should band my mother".  Love later apologized to Frances with, of course, a tweet, saying "Sorry I believed the gossip. Mommy Loves you".
