Just to keep up with the hot trend Zeitgeist, I check in from time to time. Here’s an update on things which have caught my eye recently.
in the movie citizen kane who or what is rosebud I’m bemused. There’s no location specified (as was the case with the Steven’s Point trivia contest), so the trend would seem to have been widespread. To have that lengthy a query without any similar looking relatives hanging around seems unusual. So I’m guessing someone with a national asked that question…
How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people? Now that you know who we are… can we sell you something? How about some music, for instance?
Caroline Kennedy Sweet Caroline Neil Diamond
Pattie Boyd Layla Eric Clapton
Lisa Bonet It Ain’t Over Lenny Kravitz
Vanessa Marcil The Most Beautiful Prince
Marisol Thomas Smooth Rob Thomas
Delilah Hey There Delilah Plain White T’s
Kim Porter Last Night Diddy
Paula Patoon Lost Without You Robin Thicke
Guy Ritchie Miles Away Madonna
and just because it’s my blog, I’ll add in a bonus track (not from People magazine) … Prudence Farrow Dear Prudence The Beatles (I’ll bet you thought I’d go with Goodbye Norma Jean, didntcha, huh?)
The whole Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair thing. The usual… titillation of the prurient interests of the average American internet surfer with a scandal involving a cute young thing. So what else is new?
The Jimi Hendrix sex tape. C’mon. The quality can’t be that good, we’re talking about a 40(+/-) years old original video here, something which has only now come out? Anyway, if you must watch it, you can compare any “rig shots” with the model in the middle below- immortalized by Cynthia Plaster Caster. Kathy Etchingham (Hendrix’s longtime girlfriend, for whom The Wind Cries Mary was written more versions here) says the facial resemblance is not quite right.
So… shell out the $40 at your own risk, fans.
Okay, enough circuses. How about some bread? As in stimulus checks (that trend seems to have been most popular on the 25th), Anwar and Anwar oil, hypermiling, prime rate, fed rate cut and rice shortage. If you don’t see how all of the above are related on an underlying level, stick around and read through some of the media and consumerism posts I’ve made. Perhaps the light will dawn. And, of course, some of my thoughts on solutions might be of interest as well.
