A change is definitely gonna come…
Just thought this especially appropriate with the message of “change” in this campaign…
I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like the river, I’ve been running ever since
It’s been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna comeIt’s been too hard living, but I’m afraid to die
I don’t know what’s up there beyond the sky
It’s been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna comeI go to the movie, and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me “Don’t hang around”
It’s been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna comeThen I go to my brother and I say, “Brother, help me please”
But he winds up knocking me back down on my kneesThere’ve been times that I’ve thought I couldn’t last for long
But now I think I’m able to carry on
It’s been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Neil Young Part III: Best of the Rest
If you’ve read the first two lists and are checking into this one, that hopefully means you’re somewhat interested in Neil Young’s career. Perhaps you’ve even had time to check out some of the essential selections, and maybe even one or two of the cataclysms. This list is for those of you who are familiar with the essentials, enjoyed them, and are hungry for more.
These lists are not comprehensive. In other words, there are a number of studio albums that I’ve left off for various reasons. Some of the omissions are repetitive of other Young material, and fail to capture the interesting elements of their forebears. Others are still pretty good in their own way, but fail to distinguish themselves as being worth the bother.
I want to make that distinction, because the albums below aren’t the “average” albums. Instead, they’re all really great albums for people who like Neil Young, are familiar with some or most of the essentials, and are looking to check out some of his other stuff. These aren’t the best albums to begin with, but they are great if you want to continue your appreciation of Young.
Who runs this woman’s campaign?
I mean come on… This is too easy… Hillary’s official campaign song is “When The Lady Smiles” by Golden Earring from the year 1984…. Never heard of either of those two names or that year? Well, here’s the video for said song… The word “controversial” might come to mind… Let it… . . . Let it simmer…

In other news, if you have a next-gen system (read not a Wii (even though it really is the most next-gen of all the next-gen systems, but we won’t get into that right now…)) and you aren’t playing “Burnout: Paradise” what in the world is wrong with you… It is graphically stunning, the crashes are the best I’ve ever seen in a video game, and the driving engine is superb… I’m hooked on it right now, despite some of the terrible music in the game… with one large exception… the title song… Can anyone guess it?
I sure hope someone gets video of this…
It’s a bowling tournament. Seriously.

LED Faucet Lights…
What is an LED faucet light I can hear you say to yourself…
This is!
Check it out here… Click…
The best part?
But wait, there’s more! You get to choose between two different Faucets.
- Blue LED - Always streams BLUE LED’s
- Blue/Red LED - Normally streams BLUE LED’s until the water temperature hits 89 degrees after which the LEDs turn RED!
$19.99 for the Blue/Red color changing version… I’m getting at least one… I’m such a nerd, but that is fucking sweet…
Ben - whaaa?
From the ESPN Website:
Over the past weekend, authorities said, Professional Wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife, suffocated his son and placed a Bible next to their bodies before hanging himself with a weight-machine cable in the couple’s suburban home. No motive was offered for the killings, which were discovered Monday.
Anabolic steroids were found in Benoit’s home, leading officials to wonder whether the drugs played a role in the slayings. Some experts believe steroids cause paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as “roid rage.”
Recent Pro Wrestler Deaths
Chris Benoit’s death in a murder-suicide is the latest in a string of professional wrestlers who died relatively young. Here is a list of some prominent performers and how they died:
Date Name Age Cause of Death 2005 Eddie Guerrero 38 Heart failure 2002 David Smith 39 Heart attack 1999 Rick Rude 40 Heart failure believed caused by overdose of GHB, steroids The WWE, based in Stamford, Conn., issued a news release Tuesday saying steroids “were not and could not be related to the cause of death” and that the findings indicate “deliberation, not rage.” It also added that Benoit tested negative April 10, the last time he was tested for drugs.
If you visit the WWE website, you’ll find this comprehensive story about Benoit’s death:
STAMFORD, Conn., June 25, 2007 – World Wrestling Entertainment was informed today by authorities in Fayette County, Ga., that WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son were found dead in their home. Authorities are investigating, but no other details are available at this time.
It’s pretty obvious that steroids are to blame for this incident, and it’s really irresponsible for the WWE to react the way that they have. Just because the killings were protracted does not inherently suggest that Benoit planned the slaughter. Indeed, if any mood or behavioral trait could be proscribed to Benoit during his final hours, his actions seem extremely confused and obfuscated. Putting aside speculation, even if he did plan the killings, it’s misleading to suggest that, just because Benoit didn’t kill everyone all at once, steroids weren’t to blame.
This is a growing trend in professional wrestling, and the WWE doesn’t want to address this problem because no steroids equals a loss in revenue for the company.
Wrestlers of the world, unite! Create a union and protect yourself! Otherwise, you’ll join the legions of has-been burnouts like this guy.
