fri rdm 10 - "Paris is our biggest problem?" edition
Really the circus aspects, the fucked up emphasis on all the wrong things. We have a brutal, inequitable prison system, increasingly privatized ... yet even when the travails of a celebrity gives us a golden opportunity to ask some questions about our priorities, we focus on all the wrong things, ask the wrong questions ... really, this country is in deep, deep trouble.
Oh, and Robert Bork ... you remember him. Rants and raves about an out-of-control legal system, evil lawyers suing business out of solvency, THAT Tort Reform Bork sues for 1 million dollars.
Really, a nation of bullshitters and hypocrites, and a media that managed to make me sympathize with Paris and made me curse a personal injury suit.
Today’s random tunes (been a while, I know, but hard to write these days) ... lets see what the Zen Micro serves up:
- “Last Goodbye" - Jeff Buckley
- “Jonestown" - Concrete Blonde
- “Bluebird" - Jim White
- “Since I’ve Been Loving You" - Led Zeppelin
- “Landslide" - Smashing Pumpkins
- "Man with a Gun” - Jerry Harrison
- “Pretty Maids All in a Row" - The Eagles
- “Fascination" - David Bowie
- "Blazing Saddles” - Yello
- “Toxicity” - System of a Down
