Dust in a Baggie

lurgee jokingly says...

In a new interview, Grammy Award winner Linda Ronstadt compared President Trump to Adolf Hitler, saying that "if you read the history" it's "exactly the same."

Ronstadt said there are "great parallels" between Trump and Hitler.

"The intelligentsia of Berlin and the literati and all the artists were just busy doing their thing. Hitler rose to power. There were a lot of chances to stop him, and they didn't speak out," she said. "The industrial complex thought they could control him once they got him in office, and of course he was not controllable."

"By the time he got established, he put his own people in place and stacked the courts and did what he had to do to consolidate his power," Ronstadt said, referring to the Nazi leader. "And we got Hitler, and he destroyed Germany. He destroyed centuries of intellectual history forward and backward."

"If you read the history, you won't be surprised. It's exactly the same," Ronstadt replied. "Find a common enemy for everybody to hate. I was sure that Trump was going to get elected the day he announced, and I said it's gonna be like Hitler, and the Mexicans are the new Jews. And sure enough that's what he delivered."

Ronstadt has been a vocal critic of Trump. Earlier this year, she said she didn’t “want to be in the same room with him” when she learned she would be honored at the Kennedy Center.

“I don’t think he would dare show his face. He doesn’t know anything about art. He knows about money,” said Ronstadt, who received the National Medal of Arts in 2014.

Trump ultimately decided not to attend the award ceremony this year, but Secretary of State Mike Pompeo did make an appearance. Ronstadt swiped at Pompeo during her speech after he cited her 1975 track “When Will I Be Loved.”

Ronstadt reportedly said after taking the microphone, “I’d like to say to Mr. Pompeo, who wonders when he’ll be loved, it’s when he stops enabling Donald Trump.”

Stephen Reacts To Trump Calling Him 'A No-Talent Guy'

newtboy jokingly says...

Just to name a few.....
Colbert has won nine Primetime Emmy Awards, two Grammy Awards, and two Peabody Awards. Colbert was named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People in 2006 and 2012.[6][7] In 2006 the word he coined, truthiness, was the Merriam Webster word of the year. His book, I Am America (And So Can You!), was #1 on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2007

So talent, intelligence, morality, humor, inventiveness, and top rated accomplishments...he's doing better than our president by every measure that matters.

What have you done with your life?

SeesThruYou said:

Colbert is a celebrity, an entertainer, someone who makes a living by making jokes and disregarding everything as trivial. You know, like the court jesters of medieval times. He has no ability to solve any problems, so instead he mocks them. What "talent" does he really have that contributes to society? Stop worshipping this asshole and all other celebrities as if they're somehow better than anyone else. You know damn well that if famous people weren't famous, they'd be nothing at all.

Whitewashing Hollywood Roles

You took me as safe
That was your first mistake
Who said I was safe

The other night I watched the Oscars
And the roster of the only yellow men were all statues
We a quarter of the population
There’s a room of fuckin’ 1 percenters laughing at you
Fuck a bamboo ceiling, guess I gotta play the villain
ODB up at the Grammys on the mic
Like “Wu-Tang is for the children!”
Bruce Jenner is woman
OJ was acquitted
Kim K is a hero
The sky is the limit, any minute now
They gonna let an Asian brotha’ get a lead role
Shots fired I'm a reload, never saw this side of Chino
He was always quiet keeping to himself
Never messed with anybody else
That's the Jonathan that we know

Seems so safe, till one day things go cray
I swear if things don’t change
My actions can’t be blamed, (STAND UP!)
And now you gotta duck!
You know you never gave a fuck!
I came to get my cut! (fuck you, pay me)
You know I never gave a fuck!

I ain't never heard of none y’all fools
I can do whatever every one of y’all do
If I never get a chance
You might see the homie show up on the 5 o’ clock news
You ain't never seen a yellow boy wild’n yellow boy shinin’ , Sound the alarm I got news
Go ahead and pro-file em’ I ain't pro-violence
Shhhhh, silence is how yellow boys move
Its been the same ol’ thang, I swear the game don’t change
What you talking bout there ain't no space
Guess i gotta go and make more space
You know I’m cool as a motherfucker
Chillin’ in the cut hella quiet with the loud pack
Since I’m a cool motherfucker
You think everything is safe till I ask you where the safe at!

Seems so safe, till one day things go cray

Beck Vs Kanye "Loser" Mashup by DJ Steve Porter

ChaosEngine says...

Meh, not really a Kanye fan, but he does have a few decent tunes. Have no time for the guy himself though.

As for the Grammys, they continue to be a fuckin' joke. I like Beck, but Best Rock Album? Seriously? Album of the year, fine, if you think so, but it's not really rock, is it?

And then Tenacious D wins Best Metal Performance? Over Mastodon? over fucking MOTORHEAD?

gimme a break... who's next? Jethro Tull?

Hatsune Miku on David Letterman

RFlagg says...

I don't know. I know Gorillaz did the Grammy Awards in 2006 with Madonna. It looks these days they don't worry about the animation when they tour, more or less a background thing with the real performers front stage. Of course they have real performers, where Hatsune Miku's singing is done by a computer program as well, not just autotuned to be her. I'd think they had to appear on shows as the animated form though before...

Yogi said:

Did Gorillaz ever do any of these shows? I'm wondering because they did concerts where the cartoons were projected onto a screen.

Japanese Grandma Jazz Drummer's dream comes true

bareboards2 says...

@dannym3141 twisted my arm. I changed it.

Grumble grumble grumble.

To soothe my need for my affectionate nickname, allow me to say here:

GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY

I feel better now.

I thought of that about 6 hours after I posted the vid.

Decided to leave it anyway, since "grammy" is an affectionate word I use all the time.

I am content to leave people confused. In honor of grammies in the world.

Oh, how my attitude towards upvotes has changed! I used to tweak headlines to death, trying to woo Sifters' eyes! And now I knowingly let eyes slide by.

I'd just like to point out that a Grammy is a music award, and i avoided the video because i wasn't interested in watching an awarded drummer achieving their dream.

I can't be the only one to have done that. Title is misleading.
