Nothing meant by the title, just love Roger Miller and appreciate his sly suburban wit. So, anyway, the world keeps moving but a sure sign of the apocalypse as a Justin Beiber Christmas album is number one. I've long since ceded the top 40 to the tweenyboppers but I'm hoping there is one more culture bearing rock song to unite the fractured music world. Where is our Purple Rain or Waiting On A Friend? Under The Bridge? Unskinny Bop? Proud Mary?
Joe Paterno will retire in the wake of a sexual abuse scandal by one of his former coaches. He's been unofficially retired for years and just seems to stand around looking parochial and bored while getting run over by players . You thought the Red Sox had it bad, Penn State is in shambles. What's that old joke? One of my brothers went to Penn State and the other went to the state pen.
Good news for people with no money who live in the middle of nowhere as the FCC announced plans to provide internet access to the 100 million Americans without it. I can't imagine these peoples lives with all their human interaction, book reading, excercising, and porn viewing from print magazines. They probably don't even know who the Kardashians are or have never witnessed such cultural milestones as a keyboard playing cat. Rubes!
A bit of relief on the horizon as Obama announced a new "Pay As You Earn" plan for student loans. Since so many people aren't earning anything these days this seems reasonable. I think too many people go to college and should consider other options. Like this for instance.
In another installment of my own personal You Tube Hall of Fame, check out this clip of the most awkward Wheel of Fortune moment of all time.
