Here and There...
| Well, Tom Cruise has started filming Mission Impossible 3 for a May 5/06 release after a heck of a lot of haggling before the deal was put in place. That collective silence you hear is a whole lotta people not caring… Willie Nelson is releasing a Reggae album. That’s interesting by itself, but also the fact that Walmart has censored the cover art and will sell a version that doesn’t show a drawing of marijuana. Weird, I never thought of Walmart as a politically correct institution. Where else can you find a megalomaniac corporation that regularly forces shutdowns of Mom and Pop stores in smaller areas and puts hundreds of people out of work so they don’t have to face a union all the while selling Cheese, Pants, Toilet Paper, Guns and Ammo all in one convenient location? To paraphrase a famous Waylon Jennings lyric, “Don’t y’all think this [PC Crap’s] done got out of hand?”….. Read a review of a Rascal Flatts concert. Here’s my favorite quote: “A closing run of big ballads seemed endless. One had to wonder how things could get more tedious. Then, came the encore: an awful rock medley….the worst offender, "Born in the USA," as DeMarcus asked whether the audience was proud to be American. These dunderheads don't have a clue that Bruce Springsteen’s song is about a Vietnam veteran who's been screwed. Rascal Flatts makes Toby Keith sound deep.” As for the Boss’s song, if you’re going to cover somebody else’s tune, you’d better understand it. Also, I thought that last line was really funny. I’m surprised the reviewer didn’t find a way to slam the Dixie Chicks as well… In sequels nobody asked for news, there is talk of a Hollow Man 2 and Road House 2-Last Call. Neither will probably star any of the people from the originals and it isn’t clear yet whether they’ll be straight to DVD or not. I’m betting they will be… Later |

post a commentyeah, well, there are only so many ways to title posts of semi-interesting-found-on-the-internet-crappy-news...
I forgot about the slo-mo facial skin of MI:2...just ewww. I remeber the finale fight sucked the high wind, though. I think this new one was written by two of the writers of the TV show Alias, so maybe this one will be more spy centric instead of over the top slo-mo action...
Here and There bet basketball is a live album by British singer/songwriter Elton John, released in 1976 (see 1976 in music). The title refers to the two concerts represented on the album: "Here" is a concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London; "There" is a concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City. sportsbook The Madison Square Garden show was notable for the guest appearance of John Lennon, in what would be his last public concert performance.
For the 1995 CD reissue, original producer Gus Dudgeon remixed both shows and extended the song list for a two-CD set, almost fully restoring the play lists for both concerts. march madness While "Take Me To The Pilot" and "Your Song" appear on both discs, Dudgeon said in the liner notes that this was intentional, since both versions of each song are very different from each other, and in his opinion merited inclusion. Dudgeon said in a later interview that digital editing software allowed his editing and mastering team to fix a bad note in the London performance of "Your Song," which was otherwise beautiful and helped save a performance that would have otherwise been somewhat marred. He refused to say where in the song the fix was, and cheekily left it up to listeners to find it, if they're able!
