Hello,
No word on how long of a suspension that Ron Artest will be serving yet. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who refuses to refer to him by his ridiculous legal name. The announcement of his suspension could come any minute now. Now what about the player he viciously elbowed, James Harden. Harden received a concussion and as of this morning Harden hasn't been cleared by team doctors to play. At the very minimum Artest should be out as long as Harden. With the Thunder locked into the #2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, I would suggest Harden not play in either one of these games.
San Antonio has clinched the Western Conference's #1 seed. That's who the Jazz in all likelihood will be playing in the playoffs. The Spurs absolutely own the Jazz, just as much as the New York Giants own the Cowboys. Please forgive me if I'm not too excited about the Jazz's playoff chances this season. It's not like us Jazz fans are repeating "We're Number 8".
Congrats to the Boston Red Sox (21.0% poff), they beat a team that is bad as them last night. Thanks to Cody Ross's two home runs they beat the Twins 6-5. Boston has now improved their record to 5-10. I do hope they aren't too excited by only winning one-third of their games. In the extremely deep AL East, they still remain in last place.
The LA Dodgers (66.2% poff) continue on their hot streak. They split their recent six game road series by winning 3 of the games. After their hot start, the Dodgers really haven't cooled down. They've won 7 of their last 10 games. They remain in first place in the NL West, leading second place San Francisco by 3.5 games.
One final sports thought: New Orleans Saint General Manager Mickey Loomis needs to be fired asap. First there was Bountygate, which I never cared much about. I don't care what current and former players are saying, I bet that kind of thing goes on in nearly every NFL locker room. However the latest revelations of eavesdropping are fairly disturbing. ESPN says it best: "A joint Louisiana state police and FBI task force is investigating allegations that the New Orleans Saints set up general manager Mickey Loomis' booth in the Superdome so he could listen in on opposing coaches." (Thanks to ESPN.com.)
This past weeks "Mad Men" was absolutely bizarre. The episode titled "Far Away Places" featured a lot of weird things. We had Roger and Jane Sterling (Peyton List) dropping acid, which led to them ending their marriage. We saw a lot more of the gorgeous Peyton List than is usually shown on television. There was also Don Draper with the harried look on his face, he looked like he lost his Mommy. Bert Cooper, who has been missing and relegated to crazy old coot, reminded Don whose business Draper works for.
Now here are a bunch of great songs. Enjoy.
I don't think this song received it's proper due back in the 80's. Simply Red were more known for their cover of "If You Don't Know Me By Now". However I think "Holding Back The Years" is an equally great song:
Men Without Hat's "Pop Goes The World":
Gossip's "Pop Goes The World", this thankfully isn't a remake of the above song.
A couple of classics from Cat Stevens. "Wild World":
"Peace Train":
Joss Stone's "Headturner" I'm not sure why she isn't a bigger star.
Carly Smithson is another person that I'm not sure why she never made it big. It's an "American Idol" landscape with the scattered remains of Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Lee DeWyze, Michael Lynch, David Archuleta (thankfully out of the spotlight for a couple of years) and even the great Crystal Bowersox. I would like to know why hasn't Carly Smithson made it? She seriously has one of the best and most powerful voices on "AI" ever. Listen to that amazing voice:
She choosing to sing this song on "American Idol" was controversial, which I never understood.
Gordon Lightfoot's "Sundown":
I'll spare you from another Youtube Hopscotch, however the above song listed the below song as possibly a song of interest. This is Terry Jacks "Season In The Sun":
One of my all-time favorite songs, America's "Sister Golden Hair":
