Still writing on a rented computer (sigh)

Well it has been almost a month since I wrote on here. Once again I have nothing prepared so maybe this will be a good column ?
The MTV Video Awards took place this week in Las Vegas NV and the show was hosted by Sarah Silverman (why?) who made a joke about Brittney Spears kids being the cutest two accidents in the world. She should talk she is dating Jimmy Kimmel and if they ever have kids I shudder to think about what they will look like.
Later during the ceremony Brittney Spears appeared for the first time since 2002 on stage and she looked like a 25yr old mother of two out of shape and at times she didn't even seem to sing or dance much. Other stars in the audience said that MTV set her up to fail and if they did so what she was a phony from the beginning anyway.
Kayne West said he doesn't like MTV and told them to play a video however he still takes the paycheck that he gets from them for appearing.

The White Stripes have cancelled their upcoming tour dates. The reason is the drummer Meg White has acute anxiety and is unable to perform. Why she is anxious over something that she has done for several years is unusual. While she isn't the world's greatest drummer how hard can it be to keep a beat ? I like the White Stripes and don't know why she cannot hold up her end of the deal.
Maybe, Jack should invest in a drum machine at least it can perform every night without fail unless it is unplugged.

The Phil Spector trial has been going on for awhile now and the evidence doesn't look like good even after five years of waiting for the trial his history with guns, women and drugs are leading him to a long prison term. Too bad Spector was a real sound genius in the sixties. Seems that many geniuses have flawed personalities that sometimes lead to their undoing.

The Austin City Limits Musical Festival happens this month and I still haven't been able to make it to one of these. The festival is held in September and showcases bands from country-pop-alternative and the uncatagorical. Watch PBS sometime and the show Austin City Limits you can see great live performances by some artists that you may know or discover a new one.

Until next time
