Civic duty?

Inspired by some things I read at twitter:


1. No one's voting record should be made public- whether its WHO they voted for or how many times they voted or didn't vote. That shouldn't happen in a FREE country.
A few years back, I got this thing, in the mail- that looked like a postcard- publicizing when I voted & didn't vote in recent elections.


2. And if things are going to be THAT Orwellian.....






Next it will be a CRIME to not vote!

War Is A Racket!










How you gonna make me kill somebody, I don't even know


They got the draft
I just laugh
Party up
Fighting war
Is such a fucking bore
Party up




Because of their half-baked mistakes
We get ice cream, no cake
All LIES, NO truth
Is it fair to kill the youth?






You're gonna have to fight your own damn war
Cause we don't wanna fight no more


Selected lyrics from the underrated song, Partyup by Prince

Aurra - Are You Single












I just discovered this song on SiriusXM The Groove the other day..... which is weird, considering being a Generation-Xer and all ( growing up in the 70s/80s), I should've heard it on the radio or something....

Bombardment of Dumbed-Down Music

I really feel like there are certain things that are constantly being forced on us- an agenda.  Like modern so-called music- usually some type of hiphop or whatever passes for R&B & pop music these days, it all sounds the same. On Nov. 14th, I walked into a library & there was music playing( I thought libraries were supposed to be quiet), it  was obviously a radio station that plays today's popular music( some rap & modern R&B, & that horrible Jonelle Monae song), the majority of the time I was in there, I was listening to my own music.
Later that day, I walked into some deli market around Broad & Olney, to get a snack & guess what I was bombarded with? Modern pop music with autotune & rapping or whatever they play on Q102 these days. I also was forced to hear this stuff at Dollar General a few weeks ago, not to mention the innumerable t.v. ads & vacuous morning shows that have to have this crap in them. Thanks for giving me another reason to not wanna leave the house.



Anyway, this can't be an accident.  And the people who run these places just assume every customer wants to hear this trash.


I made the mistake of reading some Penelope Cruz interview in one of those stupid magazines, and, of course she had to make sure that we knew she's a Drake fan- why am I not surprised?  She's  Generation X ( like me) so she should have better taste- what's her problem?
We have to be force-fed this crap, even by celebrities?


Tried to get into 2 Broke Girls but they (for some reason) were going on & on about some fool named 2 Chainz on one episode..


Really?






AND watched some show called fam, on Thursday, & should've known something like this would happen- One of the characters just happens to love Baby Got Back & then of course there was the need to have this person perform it during the closing credits or whatever..... enough!
