Hllywd Director Phil Lord: Jay Z and Beyonce ‘Look Like Dupes’ Over Cuba Trip

More condemnation for the vacation trip to Cuba indulged by rapper Jay Z and gal-pal singer Beyonce, this time from Hollywood director Phil Lord–himself the son of a Cuban refugee. Lord thinks that the entertainers were “dupes” of the oppressive Cuban military, that they “don’t care” about the political gulags Cuban dictator Castro built, that they essentially mocked the thousands of Cubans that have been imprisoned and lost their lives in those prisons, and says the pair represent little else but “nihilism with a beat.”

Beyonce and Jay Z celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Havana, Cuba, apparently with the blessing of Barack Obama’s administration quite despite that the U.S. still has an official prohibition against Americans visiting the Island nation turned political prison.

Lord told the media that at first he thought that Jay Z and Beyonce just weren’t aware of the oppression of Cuban people. He gave them the benefit of the doubt that they just weren’t aware of the many artists that had been imprisoned and their art banned. But after Jay Z released his song that taunted people opposing Cuba, Lord realized that Shawn Corey “Jay Z” Carter knew exactly what he was doing that that made it all the worse.

The director of such films as 21 Jump Street and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is not alone in his condemnation of the Island hopping Carters. AJ Delgado also slammed Jay Z for the trip saying, “Beyoncé and Jay-Z not only legitimize and support the repressive regime, with both their presence and their cash, but turn a blind eye, cruelly, to the perils and languishing of the Cuban people.”

Hypocrisy: Concert Rocks Fiscal Doomsaying White House

As President Obama is heard scolding Republicans on a near daily basis for forcing a sequester that is shutting down government and halting funding for things like White House tours, he and First Wife Michelle geared up Tuesday for a star-studded, soul music concert in the White House that featured such stars as Justin Timberlake, Queen Latifah, and the Reverend Al Green.

Only a few days before the big April 9 gala concert, President Obama was still warning of the evils of sequestration, but the purported “severe” cutbacks of government spending didn’t stop the President from enjoying a night of stirring soul music during the program titled, In Performance at the White House: Memphis Soul.

The First Lady kicked off the April 9 tribute to Soul with an hour-long, morning program held in the White House State Dining Room and billed as a “guidance” on the upcoming Memphis Soul performance at the White House. The event was held for students and music lovers and featured soul greats Sam Moore, Mavis Staples, Charlie Musselwhite, Ben Harper and also featuring pop star Justin Timberlake as panel members taking questions from the audience.

New York Investigating Anti-Fracking Lobbying by Yoko One, Mark Ruffalo, Robert De Niro

-By Warner Todd Huston

A formal complaint has been filed with a New York lobbying board to investigate whether Yoko Ono, Robert De Niro and nearly 200 other celebrities have violated state laws with their Artists Against Fracking activist group.

Celebrities are well known for dabbling in social activism whether what they have to say makes sense or not and the recent cause célèbre is the anti-fracking movement. Along with Yoko Ono, actors Mark Ruffalo and Robert De Niro, and ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, the movement has drawn the support of some 200 celebrities all donating time and money to stop efforts toward American energy independence.

The group has sponsored rallies and concerts and on it’s website the celebrity group urges visitors to “Tell Governor Cuomo Don’t Frack New York!”

Pushing the issue on a national TV audience, Ono and son Sean even appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to sing a somewhat ridiculous anti-fracking song at the end of January.

There is a new face on the pro-gun circuit. Mr. Colion Noir, a young African American who is conservative and pro-gun, is the National Rifle Association’s newest spokesman but apparently this has proven too much for rap and entertainment mogul Russell Simmons.

After seeing the NRA’s intro video of Noir’s upcoming NRA News show, Simmons took to Twitter to tell the gun group, “Dear @NRA, we don’t trust you. Sincerely, Black America.”

Simmons then wrote a longer attack at Globalgrind.com, saying that “black people ain’t got no time” for the NRA.

Woodman, Woodman, Spare That Tree

Lyrics

A great big tree grows near our house
It’s been there quite some time
This tree’s a slipp’ry elm tree and very hard to climb
But when my wife starts after me, up in that tree I roost
I go up like a healthy squirrel and never need no boost
The other day a woodman came to chop the refuge down
And carve it into kindling wood, to peddle ’round the town

I says to him, “I pray thee cease, desist, refrain and stop
Lay down that razor, man, chop not a single chop”

Woodman, woodman, spare that tree
Touch not a single bough
For years it has protected me
And I’ll protect it now
Chop down an oak, a birch or pine
But not this slipp’ry elm of mine
It’s the only tree that my wife can’t climb
So spare that tree

I said to him, “You see that hole
Up near that old treetop
I’ve got five dollars there, that’s yours, if you refrain to chop
No beast but me can climb that tree, ’cause it’s too slippery
I can’t get up myself, unless my wife is after me
So get my wife and I’ll call her a very naughty word
And then you’ll see me give an imitation of a bird
You may not know just where to go, when my wife gets around
But when she comes, remember this, if I’m not on the ground”

Composer Irving Berlin/Vincent Bryan

Singer Al Green Turns Down Invite to Sing at Obama’s Second Inaugural

January 26, 2013 | Filed Under Barack Obama, Democrats/Leftists, Liberals, Music, President, Progressives, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off

-By Warner Todd Huston

At a 2012 campaign fundraiser, President Barack Obama sang a line of Al Green’s hit “Let’s Stay Together” as the singer watched from the audience. Green, however, turned down an invite to attend and perform at the President’s second inauguration.

Green’s reps told the Associated Press that he had to turn down the President’s invitation to sing at this year’s event because of a scheduling conflict.

In 2012, while on stage at Harlem’s Apollo Theater, Obama sang a line of Green’s song but quickly deferred to the singer, who was in the audience.

“Don’t worry Rev., I can not sing like you,” the President said. “I just wanted to show my appreciation.”

In an interview after the 2009 event, Green said he was thrilled by Obama’s attention.

“I was thrilled that the President even mentioned my name and if the President can get the economy going again and get everything going that he wants to, then we’ll all be together.”

Through his reps, Green said he’d be “honored” to perform for the President at some other time.

Rapper Lupe Fiasco lived down to his name at a recent corporate-sponsored inauguration party in Washington D.C. when he was thrown off the stage by the hosts for going on a tirade against President Obama, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck, audience members said.

During one of his “songs” the rapper informed the audience that he didn’t vote for President Obama and told them why, saying, “…and these same people supposedly telling us the truth. Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist, Gaza strip was getting bombed. Obama didn’t say sh*t. That’s why I ain’t vote for him, next one either. I’m part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful.”

It wasn’t long before black-suited security guards mounted the stage and swept the rapper off, shutting down the concert.

Josh Rogin, a writer for Foreign Policy magazine, was in the audience and tweeted as the incident played out. In one Tweet, Rogin reported, “Lupe refused to move to the next song so a team of security guards came on stage and told him to go.”

With polls showing that our Second Amendment is still nearly as popular as ever, one is tempted to think that our guns are safe, for now. A new poll, for instance, even shows that the National Rifle Association is more popular than Hollywood.

The new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found that even after the crime at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut ratings for the NRA did not much stray from the 41 percent approval it has enjoyed since 2011.

On the other hand, only 24 percent of respondents had a positive view of the entertainment industry.

When the South Korean Pop song Gangnam Style first became the thing here in the only country in the world that counts, I was bemused by the tune and its frenetic horse-galloping dance moves. I thought it was funny and fun. But now I find out that the Korean artist, Psy, has told American to fuck off (excuse HIS language) now he is persona non gratta. I’ve gone back and eliminated all Psy posts I’ve made before and will never support this creep’s work again.

FUCK YOU Psy!

So, here is the deal. Korean singer Psy is enjoying all the success and money that comes with breaking big in the Untied States of America. He’s reveling in the attention and the money it is bringing him. But, now we idiot Americans are finding out he’s made a career out of hating the U.S.A.

And, this jerkoff wasn’t just reveling in the average kind of America hate in which so many pop singers engage, he actually wished that American families should be “killed slowly and painfully.”

That’s right, this ass hoped our children were killed “slowly and painfully.”

He made this exclamation during a 2004 concert in South Korea.

Naturally, this little creep is apologizing… now that America is paying him big money for his crap song.

So, Psy is out. Screw him and his armpit nation.

Jazz Giant Dave Brubeck Dies

December 5, 2012 | Filed Under Entertainment, Music, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off

-By Warner Todd Huston

Jazz great Dave Brubeck has died today. He was 91.

Dave Brubeck made Jazz ultra cool in the early 1960s. His most famous piece as Take Five and is instantly recognizable even to many who know nothing about Jazz.

Here is some more info on the piece and the band:

“Take Five” is a jazz piece written by Paul Desmond and performed by The Dave Brubeck Quartet on their 1959 album “Time Out”. Recorded at Columbia’s 30th Street Studios in New York City on June 25, July 1, and August 18, 1959, this piece became one of the group’s best-known records, famous for its distinctive, catchy saxophone melody and use of the unusual quintuple (5/4) time, from which its name is derived.

While “Take Five” was not the first jazz composition to use this meter, it was one of the first in the United States to achieve mainstream significance, reaching number five on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary Singles chart.

Rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd Denounce Then Support The Confederate Flag

September 28, 2012 | Filed Under Alabama, Civil War, Entertainment, History, Music, PCism, Race, Slavery, Society/Culture, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off

-By Warner Todd Huston

After forty some years of prominently featuring the Southern Cross flag of the old Confederacy as part of its schtick, suddenly the southern rock band Lynyrd Skynrd is denouncing the banner claiming it is a symbol of racism.

Sole surviving original band member, Gary Rossington, explained why the band was dumping its long-time use of the Southern Cross flag (often mistakenly called “The Stars and Bars”) in an interview with CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield in an episode of the cabler’s Face to Face entertainment segment.

It became such a issue, you know, about race and stuff, where, we just had it, in the beginning because we were southern and that was our image back in the 70s and late 60s because they kinda branded us from being from the south so we showed that.

But I think through the years, you know, people like the KKK and skinheads and people have kind of kidnapped the Dixie or Rebel flag from the southern tradition and the heritage of the soldiers, you know, that’s what it was about. And they kinda made it look bad in certain ways. So, we didn’t want that to go to our fans or show the image like we agreed with any of the race stuff or any of the bad things.

Bandmate Johnny Van Zant went on noting that they all grew up “loving the old Blues artists,” and other black musicians and they “just didn’t want to be associated with that particular (racist) thing.”

I’ve always wondered how the African American community could possibly support strict gun control considering its past history with government authorities both in our past and modern times. Well, at least one prominent African American, rapper and actor Ice-T, is speaking out in favor of American’s Second Amendment rights.

In a visit to sell his latest film project, Ice-T appeared on Channel 4 TV in London, England with host Krishnan Guru-Murthy. The appearance just happened to be only hours after the mass murder in Aurora, Colorado and host
Guru-Murthy thought he’d query the rapper on his thoughts on guns in America.

As it happens, Ice-T, the self-described “Godfather of Gangsta Rap,” was not in the least apologetic for American’s rights to self defense.

Glen Shulfer Video: Blame Someone Else

The latest from musician Glen Shulfer…

Lyrics
© 2012 Glen Shulfer
You blame someone else for what you’ve done.
You said it’s not your fault for leaving us undone.
Oh, but you promised everything…delivered nothing,
and blame someone else.

No, you can’t blame George Bush, cause it’s been four years ago.
And you can’t blame the Tea Party, when all they want is to end your debt.
And you can’t blame it on the rich; cause who the hell’s gonna pay your tax?
And you can’t blame the Military, because they keep this country strong.
We gotta take back America! Cause we’re at the tipping point.

You blame someone else for what you’ve done.
You said it’s not your fault for leaving us undone.
Oh, but you promised everything…delivered nothing,
and blame someone else.

No, you can’t blame America, and all the good that she stands for.
And you can’t blame it on the church, just because you don’t believe.
And you can’t blame Talk Radio, cause it’s the Freedom Voice we hear.
And you can’t blame the Constitution; it’s meant to stop someone like you!
We gotta take back America! Cause we’re at the tipping point.

You blame someone else for what you’ve done.
You said it’s not your fault for leaving us undone.
Oh, but you promised everything…delivered nothing,
and blame someone else.

Rock-N-Roller Confronted With Capitalism

Jack White recently of the band The White Stripes has realized something important, capitalism works. At least it works when properly approached and with the release of several special vinyl albums he is trying to do it right, much to the consternation of some of his cheapskate fans.

As it happens, Mr. White is part of Third Man Records label, a company that produces special pressings on vinyl for the collectors market. But, seeing as how they are both limited and collectors editions, they aren’t cheap. This has apparently made some of his fans mad.

With a price tag of upwards to $300 a piece, some fans have claimed Jack White is ripping them off. But Mr. White begs to differ. He says there is no reason why he should sell these collectors items at cheap prices just so that ebay speculators can buy up a large number of them only to go online and flip them for two, three, or more times as much as the original purchase.

Windy City Madman: Nuge Meets Obama ‘Truth Squad’

May 14, 2012 | Filed Under 1st Amendment, Constitution, Daniel Clark, Democrats/Leftists, Ethics, Government, Government, Corruption, Liberals, Music | Comments Off

-By Daniel Clark

During the 2008 presidential campaign, candidate Barack Obama deployed so-called “truth squads” throughout the swing state of Missouri. Comprised mainly of prosecutors and high-ranking law enforcement personnel, these partisan watchdogs announced their intention to monitor private citizens’ political speech. Although they would later protest that they’d never directly threatened to arrest or indict Obama’s critics for voicing their opinions, the implicit threat was plain to see.

They defended themselves by pointing out that Missouri law contains no speech-crime provisions for them to enforce. Still, one might reasonably have feared being targeted for unrelated trivial or imagined offenses, as punishment for having committed crimes against superhumanity. If the squadders’ only intention was, as they claimed, to rebut attacks against Obama by revealing the “truth,” then why did the campaign make a point of recruiting such authority figures, instead of simply hiring some good p.r. people?

At least it is for one Internet entertainment reporterette who apparently wishes that she had some sort of disease if that disease made her skinny. Seriously, this is the sort of vapidity that makes the denizens of Hollyweird and their hangers-on appear so reprehensible.

On her April 9 YouTube entertainment report about the latest Miley Cyrus rumors, host Stephanie Bauer reported that the singer took to Twitter in reply. Tongues were wagging recently that Cyrus might be anorexic due to recent photos of her gaunt figure. Cyrus, though, says she stays skinny mostly because she has a “gluten and lactose allergy.”

“It’s not about weight, it’s about health,” Cyrus said. “Gluten is crap anyway.”

For her part, hostesset Bauer wished she could have a disorder, disease, or allergy, too, if it made her “look amazing” like the teen singer.

New Rock Band, Madison Rising Shows Our Country Finally Heading Into The Right Direction?

January 14, 2012 | Filed Under Entertainment, Music, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off

News from the band Madison Rising…

Could a pro-American and openly conservative rock band charting in the top 100 on both iTunes and Amazon.com be a sign that our country is starting to move in the right direction? Maybe so, given the fact that Madison Rising, a phenomenal new band lead by a Navy veteran Dave Bray is climbing rock charts while promoting the principles of liberty, independence, smaller government and personal responsibility.

It used to be that younger people only listened to music about sex, drugs, rock n roll and rebellion. But Madison Rising is showing us that this demographic will in fact listen to music with a message if that music is good and worth listening to. By singing about topics such as media bias, taking action to create a better future for ourselves, the damage alleged “peace” protestors do, and actually supporting our military, the band gets everyone thinking instead of simply accepting what they hear or see from liberal media.

By sticking to their core principals, Madison Rising is well on their way to becoming a successful rock band like so many of their predecessors. The group recorded its debut album with a multi Grammy winning producer Ron Saint Germain (who worked with artists such as Creed, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Muse) and is receiving incredibly strong support from their fan base like so many other popular bands that seem to come out of nowhere to suddenly become a house hold name. The big difference is that Madison Rising is doing this while spreading a positive message and getting people to think about issues that matter while the other artists continue to focus on negativity, vulgarity, entitlements and self-congratulatory posturing, achieving nothing except continuing to add to what is wrong with popular culture today.

Grammy Nominee’s Occupy Wall Street Theme Song Features Bloodlust, Violent Imagery

-By Warner Todd Huston

While denizens of Hollywood are running around praising the Occupy-Whatevers as an articulate, non-violent example of “democracy in action” and adopting the Occupy rhetoric, a new anthem of sorts has been unveiled to inspire these “non-violent” folks to greater activism.
But, for a “non-violent” movement, their new theme song (running nearly nine minutes long) is full of bloodlust and childish name-calling belying that claim to thoughtful democracy.

The song, “We Stand as One,” created by Grammy nominee Joseph Arthur, seems to fall short of the mythical claim that the Occupy movement is a non-violent, thoughtful “movement.” Filled with deep lyrics such as calling Occupy enemies “pigs,” warnings that their homes will burn and that the blood of Occupy enemies will be the Occupiers’ “paint,” this song sounds more like a call to violence than an appeal to the better angels of our nature.

Arthur has worked with such rock notables as Michael Stipe of REM and Peter Gabriel, and his 1999 EP “Vacancy” was nominated for a Grammy.

I have to say, I am very interested in this project. It’s a Harrison biopic movie. No, not William Henry Harrison. Not even Benjamin Harrison. It’s George Harrison, the Beatle.

I have always been more fascinated by “the quiet Beatle,” George Harrison, than the others. I also like his music far better than John Lennon’s. I have most of Harrison’s solo albums, but not many of John’s solo work.

Harrison’s music was much more complex than both Lennon’s and McCartney’s, I have always thought. And Harrison developed a very distinctive sound, too. His last album, “Brainwashed” is very fun.
