The Pirates

Will things ever look up for my beloved Pittsburgh Pirates?? We celebrated our Seventeenth straight losing season by finishing 62-99 this year. We were mercifully spared a 100-loss season by getting a rain-out during the last week. There are many reasons for the streak; the inability or desire to spend money being just one. The predominant reason I believe is the management's inability to evaluate talent. It seems management is blowing things all over the place, as detailed in the news report below. This has Pirates Management written all over it...

Somali Pirates Attack French Warship By Mistake

"In a move that will bring some light relief to embattled cruise ship operators and freighter owners, Somali pirates in skiffs mistakenly attacked the French navy’s flagship in the Indian Ocean on Wednesday, AFP reports.

The pirates in two fibreglass skiffs mistook the 18 000 tonne La Somme for a commercial tanker . According to a French navy spokesman, the La Somme’s crew “easily saw off the brazen night-time assault by lightly armed fighters on two lightweight skiffs and captured five pirates”.

Strike one for the good guys. That said, it is quite staggering to see how many warships have had to be deployed to the Indian Ocean to try and keep the shipping lanes safe from piracy, and still the attacks continue. It’s a little bit like the Boer commandos tying-up thousands of British troops during the the Anglo-Boer War, or the Germans trying to crush the French Resistance during the Second World War. As a wise general once said, “Guerillas never win wars. But they never lose them either.”

This is becoming quite the music blog isn't it? Here are The Virgins. Below are the lyrics to "Love Is Colder Than Death"

The Virgins Lyrics

Here is a another catchy song and video Rich Girls. I like it - The Strokes meets Roxy Music.

New Feature

I am trying out this new feature courtesy of MetroLyrics.com which seems like a pretty good place to get the lyrics to your favorite song. Many titles and genres found.

Below is currently my favorite song of the moment. It is included in my End of Summer playlist posted below. These lyrics are slightly different than the song posted, but are evidently the lyrics to the single released as you can see by the video Can You Tell

I prefer the first version found below, but the lyrics to both versions are still strong. Sweet + Simple = Great Tune

Epitome of a Pop Song

It always amazes me when a pop song comes out and becomes an instant classic. This one from Black Eyed Peas should be sung by people getting ready to hit the town for the next hundred years or so...Great song and video. Oh yeah, great Fergie too...

My Teen Wall

After Farrah left Charlie's Angels, she was quickly replaced by this blonde beauty. She was never replaced in my heart, and she wasn't on my bedroom wall. Both these posters graced my wall right along side Farrah.





I still love you Cheryl...
