Hey, is that David Gilmour?

Alright, I think that I've pretty much found the worst idea EVER! Seriously! I was flipping through the radio stations and I ended up settling on a classic rock station, cuz I've been in that kind of mood lately. So, I'm minding my own business when I hear this DJ explaining their "fun" weekend set up. "We're jumping on the bluegrass bandwagon... That's right, all of your favorite classic songs... done bluegrass style! You won't believe how great these songs sound." Of course this included clips of various classic songs like Pink Floyd's "The Wall", Joan Jett's "I Love Rock and Roll", and other artists such as Aerosmith, The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, etc. And believe me, they sounded far from great! In fact they were outright scary!

At first I thought it was a joke. I mean... it has to be a joke right? Nope, it's for real!

I'm sorry, but there is absolutely NOTHING even remotely good about Pink Floyd or any other classic artist remade into bluegrass! It's simply just wrong! And the snippets that they played drove this wrongness right on home. What the HELL were they thinking? And did anyone tune into listen to this garbage other than out of some morbid sense of curiosity? NO, I mean, REALLY!

A moment of zen! (Thanks for the pic Jeanne)

Someone please explain to me why I should be subjected to daily SPAM mailings asking me to mortgage off my home -- I live in an apartment!!! What marketing genius started THIS campaign? I guess this is one of the downfalls of free email and since I don't stand behind charging for email, we’re simply forced to suffer through people sending mass emailing willy nilly and hoping they get a bite. What is even more infuriating, my own company recently ran an email ad campaign, which was thoroughly researched and targeted only companies interested in our offer, but resulted in an email account being temporarily blocked. Yet these companies can send SPAM that in no way pertains to me, not include a means of unsubbing, or when you do unsub they don't remove you and instead turn around and sell your address to tons of companies because they've reached a live person at the end of the line!

Even better still are the SPAMs for Viagra? I’m sure you’ve received at least a dozen of these in the last few months. I get them, and I'm obviously NOT a man! I personally believe that their plan is to aggravate you enough that you’re libido becomes affected and you suddenly find yourself in need of their product! I do admit however, I found one sexually related ad so amusing I proceeded to forward it to my cohorts in crime. This thing stated, and I quote "Would you like a bigger Penis?" Well there's a question for the masses! At least I got a giggle out of that one!

Okay, I'm now going back to planning my up coming Nashville trip wherein Cristy and I will decend upon NAMM with a fury. Look out Nashville! We're coming! Not by plane, not by train, but via automobile and "The Dog"!
