I almost forgot this is supposed to be
a "Weekend Wrap-Up" podcast during this podcast, especially since Stu Gotz
isn’t around to remind me, but I did remember I saw
"Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay" and
"Baby Mama" towards the end of my 15 minutes of talking. The thing is,
with the scandal of 15 year old Miley Cyrus and her "embarrassing" pictures in
Vanity Fair, and the story about Mindy McCready being involved with Roger
Clemens when she was 15 years old, I couldn’t help but wonder what is the deal
with 15 year old girls, and I give my 2 cents worth of commentary. There
is also a story of the not 15 year old Cheri Oteri and the death of her dad
which caught my eye, and at the end of the podcast I wonder why the story of
Roger Waters at Coechella is a surprise since he’s been releasing a giant,
inflatable pig scribbled with political writing into the air at least since
I saw him in 2006. Maybe it was because we have found out that Roger
is a Barack Obama fan.
I
also do some singing during this podcast as tomorrow, being April 29th, holds a
sort of special place in my heart as it is the 144th birthday (if I added things
correctly), of my fraternity,
Theta Xi. Thankfully, back in 1864, Peter Fox, Ralph Packard,
Christopher Waite, George Brainerd, Samuel Buel Jr., Henry Farnum, Thomas
Raymond, and Nathaniel Starbuck decided forming a fraternity at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York would be a good thing. This
event resulted in my having a group of lifelong friends, and especially meeting
The Dude on the Left with the two of us forming
"The Unknown Reviewers" for beer money, which eventually developed into
Entertainment Ave!, which eventually led to this podcast. Funny how
something 144 years ago influenced today. Sadly this last paragraph should
have probably been told during my podcast as my podcast tribute to Theta Xi’s
birthday is kind of lame, except, for, well, my singing.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
