Now Aretha Franklin’s song Natural Woman is deemed OFFENSIVE to trans women: Outrage as ‘activists’ demand song is removed from Spotify and Apple Music. Well, maybe they can change “natural woman” for “chick with a dick?”

The Fascist Threat: 60s folk song rings true today
There was one folk singer in the 60s who stood out from all the rest. While the rest of them were singing This Land Is Your Land and Kumbaya and Michael Rowed the Boat Ashore and Where Have All the Flowers Gone, Janet Greene said, “The hell with that liberal crap. Let’s sing about the real problems in America.”

The illegal alien theme song: “Come to the USA”
We haven’t heard much from parody song writer/singer Ray Stevens in recent years. But he’s back with a vengeance and a new song called “Come to the USA.”
We haven’t heard much from parody song writer/singer Ray Stevens in recent years. But he’s back with a vengeance and a new song called “Come to the USA.”
And just for old times’ sake, here’s his famous “Ahab the Arab”, a song that would probably result in a fatwah if it were released today.
Suddenly, we’re feeling a little less confident about the war in Afghanistan
How strange is this video from Afghanistan? Don’t ask, don’t tell. Here is the story of America’s elite troops in action. Dance action, that is.
How strange is this video from Afghanistan? Don’t ask, don’t tell.
TheSmokingGun.com has the story of America’s elite troops in action. Dance action, that is:
In what may be the most entertaining music video homage ever shot in a war zone, a group of American soldiers stationed at a military base in southwest Afghanistan star in a lip-synced version of Lady Gaga’s hit “Telephone.” The video, which yesterday began to spread online, was filmed recently inside what appears to be a garage at the Forward Operating Base in Farah Province. Posted to YouTube a week ago, the 3:45 production–complete with props, signs, and costumes–features an all-male cast from the 82nd Airborne Division. The video, which can be viewed above, was the brainchild of Aaron Melcher, a married 24-year-old soldier who graduated in 2004 from North Carolina’s Gramercy Christian School. Melcher opens the video in a pas de deux, of sorts, with fellow enlistee Justin Baker, who is not nearly as enthusiastic a dancer as the gyrating Melcher, who incorporated elements of the original video’s choreography in his desert remake.
Yeah, we know this video has become an internet sensation. But we prefer the ones where lots of bad guys get blown up.
But then, we don’t like Dancing With The Stars since Chuck Liddel got voted off, either.

Godfather of Soul’s body is missing
The body of James Brown, the Godfather of Soul and “The Hardest Working Man In Show Business” has gone missing from its crypt.
Why, oh, why must we rely on British newspapers for the truly important news of the day?
Such as the fact that the body of James Brown, the Godfather of Soul and “The Hardest Working Man In Show Business” has gone missing from its crypt.
The Daily Mail UK reports the macabre accusations made by Brown’s daughter, LaRhonda Pettit:

Quincy Jones remakes the worst record ever made, expect the same results
Twenty-five years ago a group of publicity-seeking musical celebrities recorded “We Are The World” as much to feed their egos as to feed the children of Africa. Now a new generation of publicity-seeking celebrities have re-recorded the song to benefit Haiti
Twenty-five years ago a group of publicity-seeking musical celebrities recorded “We Are The World” as much to feed their egos as to feed the children of Africa.
Now a new generation of publicity-seeking celebrities has re-recorded the song to benefit Haiti. Among the “new” performers were Akon, Jason Mraz, Bono, Wyclef Jean, Carlos Santana, Enrique Iglesias, Usher, Toni Braxton and Lady Gaga.
The Associated Press reports the ego-driven details:
The session was all the talk at Sunday night’s Grammy festivities. Music producer RedOne said being asked to participate was “the biggest honor a musician can ever do.”
“Having Quincy, our father of music … and Lionel Richie asking me to contribute and help, I said of course, because this is not about me,” he said. “It’s about Haiti.”
Written by Michael Jackson and Richie, the original “We Are the World” thundered up the charts when it was released on the radio and in record stores in March 1985.
An unprecedented number of top pop musicians gathered at A&M the night of Jan. 28, 1985, following the American Music Awards, to record the tune. The song featured 45 American superstars, including Jackson, Richie, Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Ray Charles, Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan and Cyndi Lauper.
The original “We Are The World” raised $63 million to end famine in Africa. Twenty-five years later Africa is still starving. The new version will probably raise a billion dollars, but Haiti will be just as poverty stricken in twenty-five years as it is today. Yet we’ll be forced to listen to this cringe-inducing song thousands of times in the next few months.
If we haven’t made it clear enough yet, we hate that damn song. Absolutely hate it. It’s like fingernails on a chalkboard. If they really wanted to torture prisoners in Gitmo, they should have played “We Are The World” for them.
Forget saving Haiti. Save us from this song.

Scandal: Scott Brown’s daughter reveals
who her real father is
When Scott Brown’s 17-year old daughter Ayla appeared on American Idol in 2008, she revealed the shocking fact that her father is not who she thought it was.
The Democrats’ opposition research team has really let the party down this time. How did they miss this potential scandal lurking in Scott Brown’s background?
When his 17-year old daughter Ayla appeared on American Idol in 2008, she revealed the shocking fact that her father is not who she thought it was.
When this gets out, Brown is finished. Finished, we tell you.
This song is number one with a bullet. A lot of bullets, in fact.
Steve Lee is an Australian gun lover. And “I Love Guns” is available at Australian gun stores and at his own online store.
The phrase “number one with a bullet” comes from Billboard Magazine’s practice of putting a bullet symbol next to songs that were zipping up the weekly record charts at a rapid rate.
We ran across this music video at the fabulous AceofSpades HQ site. It’s a country song, so we assumed Steve Lee, its singer, must be an American.
But wait. Why are Australian flags hanging on the wall in one scene? And why is the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car. And why is he driving on the wrong side of the road?
Hey, we didn’t watch all those old Perry Mason shows without learning how to read a clue or two.
Turns out Steve Lee is an Australian gun lover. And “I Love Guns” is available at Australian gun stores and at his own online store.
“I Love Guns.” Think of it as an Ode to the Second Amendment.

Stevie Wonder says Obama’s approval numbers down because people are afraid of change
Grammy award-winning musician Stevie Wonder said President Barack Obama’s popularity has been decreasing because “people are afraid of change.”
More news from CNSnews.com:
Grammy award-winning musician Stevie Wonder said President Barack Obama’s popularity has been decreasing because “people are afraid of change.” Regarding health care reform, Wonder said people are “bickering over something that we should have had a long time ago.”
You’re wrong, Stevie. Come up out of the heavy ganja smoke in which you live and see the reality: People aren’t afraid of change, they’re afraid of socialism and the loss of liberty.
Consider this proof that there are none so blind as those who will not see.
And with that, ladies and gentlemen, we proudly present Little Stevie Wonder singing “Uptight (Everything’s Alright).” Consider it a reminder that whatever you have now is better than what you’ll have under socialism.

Publicity stunt or coincidence? Balloon Boy has a video called “I’m Not Pussified”
Is it just us or does anyone else smell a big fat publicity stunt here? C’mon, the family’s already been on Wife Swap, the cheesiest show on television, twice.
Is it just us or does anyone else smell a big fat publicity stunt here?
C’mon, the family’s already been on Wife Swap, the cheesiest show on television, twice. Falcon Heene (yes, that’s Balloon Boy’s real name) has a music video called “I’m Not Pussified.” And now he’s supposedly gone up in a runaway balloon shaped like a flying saucer.
If this isn’t a publicity stunt, young Balloon Boy has lead a very eventful six years.
Update: Balloon Boy to Wolfe Blitzer: “We did it for the show”
Drug-addled Courtney Love makes goo-goo eyes at power-addled Hugo Chavez
Love may be grand, but washed-up, drugged-up rocker Courtney Love is so far from grand that she can’t even see it off in the distance.
Love may be grand, but washed-up, drugged-up rocker Courtney Love is so far from grand that she can’t even see it off in the distance.
Here’s how the New York Daily News reports this bizarre story:
Courtney Love is still floating on the charm offensive that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez launched at Wednesday’s screening of Oliver Stone’s new documentary, “South of the Border.” The singer, who came dressed to thrill in a short zipper-front skirt, says she noticed the twice-divorced Chavez checking her out during a Q&A afterward.
“It was the third wink that sold me,” Mrs. Kurt Cobain told us. “He’s a sexy dawg. He invited me to visit his country and I’d like to go. I’ll rock Caracas!”
You may scoff, but we think his odd-couple coupling could work out. Seriously. Courtney and Hugo have so much in common. For example:

Susan Boyle is doing the Rolling Stones. Their song, that is.
If you could have found a bookmaker willing to take the bet — which is doubtful — you could have made a fortune betting that Susan Boyle’s first song would be a 38-year old Rolling Stones classic.

Let’s agree to put the spotlight on Taylor Swift and never mention the name Kanye West again
In all the talk about the MTV Music Awards, everyone seems to have forgotten the video for which Taylor Swift won the award that put idiot Kanye West over the top.
So here it is. “You Belong To Me,” a sweet, innocent country song and heartwarming video from a very talented 17-year old.
Blah, blah, blah, Kanya West blah, blah, blah.

Kanye West, who said, “Bush doesn’t care about black people,” doesn’t care about white people
The same idiot rapper who shocked America by announcing “Bush doesn’t care about black people” during a nationally-televised Hurricane Katrina charity event back in 2005, topped his long list of idiotic comments during the MTV Music Video Awards.
Kanye West made a fool of himself on national television last night. It’s getting to be a habit.
The same idiot rapper who shocked America by announcing “Bush doesn’t care about black people” during a nationally-televised Hurricane Katrina charity event back in 2005, topped his long list of idiotic comments during the MTV Music Video Awards.
Here’s what happened: Taylor Swift was graciously accepting the award for Best Female Video. She’d won the award over Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson and a couple other flavor-of-the-month performers whose names no one will remember a year from now.
As Taylor was thanking MTV, West ran on stage, took the microphone from Swift, and announced that Beyonce had been robbed.
“Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,” he said about her “Single Ladies” video.
Swift, as you can imagine, was shocked. She stood silently, trophy in hand while West ranted. Cameras cut to the audience, where Beyonce looked equally stunned. MTV quickly cut to a commercial break.
Can we make a fool of ourselves on national television? Yes, we Kanye.

Something strange for a Friday: 1980 Beach Boys interview on Good Morning America
Someone at Good Morning, America had the bright idea of interviewing the Beach Boys. But no one bothered to find out what kind of drugs Dennis Wilson had been taking the night before. Or maybe even that morning.
