HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCE


Saw this on a Fb Status Update Post:
June 7th is the day when Prince Rogers Nelson (AKA Prince) was born. Who ever knew that on this day one of the best singer/songwriters/guitarists would be born. As much as I love Prince, it must be noted that his music has fallen off tremendously, not Michael jackson fall off but fall off nonetheless. At the end of the day Prince is up there with Bruce Springsteen when it comes to live show status. I know he is old and a Jehovah's witness but why can't Prince take some steroids and go on one of those marathon tours? He has the cult status that touring bands like Phish and The Dave Mathews Band has and the musical catalogue that a Bruce Springsteen has. Come on Prince stop recording and making people buy your stuff at Target and just play that funky stuff in arenas. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

FAVORITE WHITE GUY HALL OF FAME - ABRAHAM LINCOLN


Today marks the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Now The Great Emancipator wasn't the saint that he is made out to be. It wasn't like he fought the Civil War JUST to free slaves. On the contrary he originally wanted to ship all the slaves to Costa Rica. But to his credit when he realized that he was stuck with them and that slavery would make it that much harder for free white men to get jobs he did the right thing. I am sure that if he hadn't freed the slaves that someone eventually would have but I am glad that he did it when he did. It looks like with the election of Barack that his legacy has finally come to frution. Holler!
