Amusement Park Bliss and The Deborah Harry Showdown:

Music video time! Today I present a comparison between Blondie and a band I recently discovered via Pandora. First up Blondie: I had this significant moment on my recent vacation to Minnesota where I was a little under the influence and at Valley Fair (August 9th actually) when I decided to take a break from the rides and just relax and soak up the scenery.

Anyway, just then this Blondie song came on over the outdoor speaker system at the park, and I’ll never forget standing there when this song peaked (right after the first minute) and having a very rare moment of bliss. Ahhh… Like you’re already in this incredible mood, and then you get a chill through your spine… or like being so overwhelmed with positive energy that all you can do is just stand there with a stupid look on your face, enjoy the moment, and hope no one’s watching. Can’t wait to visit again next year!

Now the showdown:

Fair to compare to a young Deborah Harry? This also makes me wonder what a Gaga video would look like with a $250 budget…

End of the Line?

Funny, while I was researching this song, I noticed that this album was released almost exactly 22 years ago (10-25-88). The crazy part is that I’ll bet I haven’t heard this song in probably twenty years. How in the world did this song fall of the face of a cliff in 1990? The band featured Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne of E.L.O. Orbison died soon after the album, and didn’t appear in the video, although (in tribute) his voice does while the camera shows a picture of him and an empty chair (with a guitar) during his chorus (the singers all take turns). Fantastic song regardless, and shameful that it’s been hidden so long.

Jesse Ventura, the Pentagon, and 2.3 Trillion Reasons Why We Should Have a New Investigation into 9/11:

I intended to publish this a while back, but I’ve heard news that this show is supposedly being deleted from people’s DVR’s? I’m not 100% sure that this story is true, and it hasn’t happened to anyone I know personally so far; but if this story is true, and there is a “deletion” in progress, then I guess that means we could all be on a time-line to watch this video, so I’d better share it while I still can right?

Watching these conspiracy shows, the one thing I can’t help notice is how absurd these people getting interviewed are. And how unbelievably absurd our government and these corporations are acting. This in itself shows me that “Conspiracy Theories” is not fake. A bit cliché in spots, but this show is definitely not staged. However, even though I have a background in reading about this stuff; to actually see these conspiracies and conspirators become exposed on video is a whole different ballgame. But even though it looks surreal to me at times, what should I or anyone think conspiracies are supposed to look like?

So what if I’m wrong? That’s the interesting part of the problem; The state of the world is so bad, and the government and media have become so biased, corrupt, and secretive, that it’s hard to believe anything they say either!

I’d like to go on, but since I’m on a possible time line, here’s my hurried current analysis of the show “Conspiracy Theory” and its tie into our reality in a nutshell:

It’s almost like watching a new action/drama movie with the biggest government conspiracy plot EVER. Only you’re not just watching it, you’re living in it!

The bad news: Our (real life) plot is eerily reminiscent of the Orwell classic “1984” (probably not a coincidence either), except in our “real life,” the full control grid isn’t in place yet. However the “police state” episode should be a big wake up call and absolutely mandatory viewing by everyone, especially if the establishment tries to censor it without disproving it first.

The good news: The control grid isn’t in place yet! We have time to prevent it, AND the power to stop it!

The weird news: Jesse Ventura is officially the most feared investigative reporter on the planet! Seriously!

For the skeptics and/or the people too busy to watch the full episode right now, I’ve outlined three clips:

13:50-14:55 only 5 frames?
23:00-23:35 accidentally told the truth?
35:00-36:15 –the 2.3 trillion dollar question?

Okay, all for now. Bravo to Jesse, producer Alex Jones, and all the crew involved on an incredible 2nd season! Looking forward to season #3?
