Aw, memories. Mine get hazier by the day due to age and certain “lifestyle” choices I have made over the years. I used to be cool (I think) and I used to listen to good music before my responsibilities got in the way. However, my sweet neighbor kid is in high school and he always enthusiastically shares what he is listening to with me. He is crazy for Jay Z. Crazy on the way that only a teenager can be for music. Before pretension, before bitterness, and before life attaches too many memories to your music.
I love it when I hear him singing this in the hallway:
So Crasstalk, what was your favorite band or artist in high school. Who spoke to your little rocker?
Wake up, Wake Up, WAKE UP! Happy Monday Crasstalk. We have another exciting week planned for you and we are hope you are ready to go. Let’s get this moving.
Well it’s official. America’s official wingnut siren Glenn Beck will be ending his daily show on Fox News by the end of this year. It’s sad news to his loyal, but incoherent fan base. As you can imagine, they are devastated.
America’s lame stream media is of course rejoicing, as are George Soros, Nancy Pelosi, and the kids over at Media Matters. However some of us are going to kind of miss old Glenn and his nightly panic-spreading and gold shilling. Here are a few great Beck highlights for those of us who are going to miss having Glenn Beck to kick around.
Here’s Glenn laying out the truth about the Egyptian Revolution. Some of his finest work exposing the elites who plot against the decent folk who watched the show.
Here’s some of the two part series about the Holocaust surviving Nazi George Soros who is ruining the world by giving money to people who are trying to stem corruption in the developing world.
And let’s not forget this classic.
However the people who will probably miss their daily dose of Beck most are America’s comedy establishment.
And the comedian who has undoubtedly benefited the most from Beck’s two year parade of batshit crazy has been Jon Stewart. Beck not only provided night after night of easy jokes for Daily Show writers, but he was also the inspiration for the hugely successful Rally to Restore Sanity. Thursday night Stewart gave a magnificent send off to Beck that gave a nod to the inspiration that Glenn created for The Daily Show. Here is an excerpt.
Damn Glenn, I am going to miss a regular dose of your madness. To be honest, I think a lot of liberals will. Who will be the target of our outrage? Who’s name will we invoke as the ultimate broadcasting insult? The election season is going to be a lot less fun without his theories and his chalkboard. We can only hope Fox is in talks with Michelle Bachman.
Welcome to Crasstalk. It’s Sunday and many of you are probably a little “tired” from your Saturday night activities. I am going to be nice and just post some nice quiet music for you until the Advil kicks in. Continue reading →
Well hello my little troublemakers. Hope you are having a great day. Here is this week’s scary movie. It’s called Attack of the Giant Leeches,and its subject matter is pretty self-explanatory. Hope you enjoy it.
Now let’s all try to keep our clothes on out there.
Sup Crasstalk? Having a great day? You better be because The Grand Inquisitor demands that you do so. So get to it. Let’s have some adult cartoons this week to get us in the weekend mood.
Hi gang and welcome. I think we all know that it has been a long week and it is time for a little relaxing. Let’s get to the party part of the week, shall we?
Yes, I know those videos had nothing to do with each other. Deal with it. Have a hard-rocking weekend, my friends.
Happy Friday everyone. For today’s Flashback Friday I thought we would play off the Open Thread from last night and continue on with some hippy music. Here are a couple to get you started.
This one is an unorthodox choice, but since it was banned from TV by CBS during the Vietnam war I think it is worth sharing.
Here’s another great one.
All right you dangerous Obama radical types, show me what you got.
Well here we are at the end of the week. It’s been a pretty exciting week around here and I hope all of you have some fun plans for the next couple of days. Since I know full well a bunch of you are going to post versions of that damn Friday song I am going to beat you to the punch. Yeah, it’s gonna be like that.
The first one is a fundamentalist Christian version. I dare you to find a more obnoxious Friday parody than this one. It’s awfulness is worthy of an epic poem. Make sure you stick with it to get to the breakdown at the 2:30 mark.
Since I made you suffer through that I will give you something that is genuinely fun. Add this to the 789 reasons I love Dr. Stephen T. Colbert DFA.
Hello and welcome to Crasstalk. Hope all of you are having a great night and are ready for the end of the week. Since most of you are socialist hippie clowns, here’s some damn hippy music. Now get off my lawn and get a hair cut!
I would hate to leave out our few Crasstalk conservatives, so this is for you guys.
