It isnt. The reigious intolerant right wing are raising a lot of sabres. You wont see any changes in what the recording industry or movie industry presents. TV is different because it feeds of a mass appeal general audience--but the cable companies are pushing things to the limit...

The music is really well done--the instrumentation and songwriting are very professional. I agree with one of the other member's above - the singing is too high-pitched..you might consider adding a male as a background singer to balance it out.

By THOMAS C. TOBIN and DONNA WINCHESTER, Times Staff Writers Published February 9, 2005 Long a part of some high school sports programs, profanity may be on the way out for Pinellas County coaches. School superintendent Clayton Wilcox said Tuesday that the district will formally instruct coaches not to use curse words when addressing student athletes. "There are better ways to communicate with our youngsters than using words that are offensive," he said. http://www.sptimes.com/2005/02/09/Tampabay...ools_seek.shtml

MP3tunes Online Music Service Opens With 300,000 Songs MP3tunes, a new digital music store started by Michael Robertson, founder and former CEO of MP3.com, opened for business on the Internet at www.mp3tunes.com. Robertson, CEO of MP3tunes, unveiled his new venture at the Desktop Summit in San Diego this week. Songs are available for download from the MP3tunes site for $0.88 per song or $8.88 per album. "Digital music sales make up less than two percent of the total music business because many consumers know they aren't really buying the music - they're renting it from a big corporation that controls what software, computer and portable devices they can use," Robertson said. "A consumer-friendly digital music store that provides true music ownership to paying customers can triple the digital music business almost overnight.

NBC4.tv is reporting that MÖTLEY CRÜE will not appear on NBC again because of singer Vince Neil's use of an obscenity when wishing bandmate Tommy Lee a happy new year in the midst of performing"Girls, Girls Girls" on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", Jeff Zucker, president of the NBC Universal Television Group told a meeting of theTelevision Critics Association Friday (Jan. 21). The Federal Communications Commission received complaints about the New Year's Eve "Tonight" show and subsequently began a preliminary probe.

Ozzy — who helped usher in an entire era of celebrity reality shows — are finished with reality TV. But they're not done with TV. Ozzy's addiction drama is the focal point of the season premiere of "The Osbournes" tonight at 10:30 on MTV — the first of 10 new episodes (it premiered January 17. 2005) They even have a new project in the works, an "unstructured" sitcom forFox, possibly for next fall, Sharon said. "There is no script, but there is a whole storyline to the show, but we ad-lib our lines," she said, describing a technique used in such shows as "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and the upcoming "Fat Actress". http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo...ewsitemID=31629

Sunday January 23, 2005 The Observer The name actually rhymes with 'vogue', but the incorrect phonetic pronunciation somehow seems more appropriate to the noises made by the eponymous instrument created in the 1960s by Dr Robert A. Moog, visionary inventor of the modern synthesiser. It's hard to argue with Rick Wakeman's testimony: '[Moog] came up with an instrument which made sounds nothing else could - an instrument with the X-factor.' Director Hans Fjellestad's documentary, Moog, is a fascinating history of both man and instrument, featuring contributions from a spectrum of famous user/admirers, ranging from contemporary hip hoppers to grizzled prog rockers. Unfortunately, two of the most crucial Moog pioneers are missing: Wendy Carlos, whose Switched-On Bach convinced many that the Moog was actually a musical instrument rather than a toy for making funny noises, non-appears due to reclusive intransigence, and free-jazz intergalactic explorer Sun Ra does likewise on account of being dead. The sight of Keith Emerson battering his telephone switchboard from hell is the highlight of a documentary on the Moog synth, writes Charles Shaar Murray Read more here: http://observer.guardian.co.uk/omm/reviews...1393788,00.html

Martin Scorsese has been working on a film about Bob Dylan for two years and there's one important person he hasn't spoken to about it: Bob Dylan. "I'd not like to deal with the man directly," Scorsese told television critics over the weekend in Los Angeles. "I'd like to create the story, to find the story, first of all, and then play it out the way I think it's right." The film concentrates on Dylan's early performing years from 1961 to 1966 and will run this summer as part of the PBS "American Masters" series. Scorsese directed "The Last Waltz," chronicling the final performance of former Dylan backup act the Band. http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_...t_id=1000761072

Edited By Jonathan Cohen. January 19, 2005, 10:40 AM ET Journalist Fights Request In Jackson Case A television journalist has asked a judge to deny a request by prosecutors for him to testify at Michael Jackson's child molestation trial. Martin Bashir's 2003 documentary prompted an outcry after Jackson said on camera that he continued to sleep in the same room as young boys. Bashir, who now works for ABC News, was called by prosecutors to testify about other things the pop star said that may not have made the two-hour documentary's final cut. But Bashir said in a motion filed yesterday (Jan. 18) that his work "speaks for itself" and that under California's shield law, journalists cannot be forced to testify about what they observe while reporting a story. http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_...t_id=1000767239

U.S. Releases Document Citing Al Qaeda Threat Published: February 11, 2005 WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (Reuters) - A memorandum posted Thursday on the National Security Archive Web site warned the White House at the start of the Bush administration that Al Qaeda represented a threat throughout the Islamic world, a warning that critics said went unheeded by President Bush until the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The memorandum, from Richard A. Clarke, Mr. Bush's top counterterrorism chief and a holdover from the administration of President Bill Clinton, was sent to Condoleeze Rice, the national security adviser at the time.... Mr. Clarke had requested an immediate meeting of top national security officials as soon as possible after Bush took office to discuss combating Al Qaeda. The meeting did not take place until Sept. 4, 2001. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/11/national/11memo.html *** Clarke was called a liar by the admnistration when he stated in his book that he had warned the Bush Administration prior to 911. Condoleeze Rice denied having seen such memorandums. :reallymad: :reallymad:

Arthur Miller, Legendary American Playwright, Is Dead By MARILYN BERGER Published: February 11, 2005 Arthur Miller, one of the great American playwrights, whose work exposed the flaws in the fabric of the American dream, died Thursday night at his home in Roxbury, Conn. He was 89. The cause was congestive heart failure, said Julia Bolus, his assistant. The author of "Death of a Salesman," a landmark of 20th-century drama, Mr. Miller grappled with the weightiest matters of social conscience in his plays. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/11/theater/...artner=homepage

As a teen, Feldman — known for his roles in movies such as "Gremlins," "The Goonies" and "Stand by Me" and who appeared in the first season of the celebrity reality show "The Surreal Life" — became good friends with Jackson. They were often seen together, dressed in similar outfits. Their friendship waned and finally ended in 2001. Feldman later released "Megalo-Man," a highly critical song about Jackson on his CD, "Former Child Star," released in 2002.

Giving "Gannon" a pass Questions remain about how a fake reporter working for a fake news operation got White House press credentials without a background check. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Eric Boehlert Feb. 11, 2005 | Before abruptly quitting his post this week as White House correspondent for the GOP-friendly group Talon News, Jeff Gannon enjoyed unfettered access to White House briefings. He gained that access not by going through the normal full background check most journalists face when obtaining a "hard pass," the ultimate White House credential, but rather by getting day passes, which require only an abbreviated background check. According to one current member of the White House press corps, Gannon was the only reporter to skirt the rules that way, obtaining daily passes month after month for nearly two years. "Why did the White House circumvent the process for him?" asks the White House reporter. That's just one of several questions that continue to swirl around the man who covered the White House under the pseudonym Jeff Gannon -- his real name is James Guckert -- and his abrupt departure from Talon News. After Guckert piqued interest in the blogosphere with an overly obvious softball question to President Bush at the Jan. 26 press conference, online sleuths uncovered the truth about Talon's close working ties with Republican operatives and their GOPUSA Web site as well as past identity. Faced with allegations that he was tied to gay-themed Web sites, Guckert resigned his Talon position Tuesday night. (Talon has posted scores of anti-gay articles.) Still left unanswered, though, is how a partisan novice reporter working for a fake news organization was able to gain regular access to White House briefings. http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2005/02/...nnon/index.html

The tea people should be free to have what ever sacraments they want. Indians have been using peyote in this manner for years. Problem is--it's hard to tell people what religion is valid or not--take Scientology-- If on the other hand, the whole things is a fraude to just do drugs, that would be another story. My problem is this: the Bush administration imposes their religious values upon the public, even though the church is supposed to separate from the state. Then they judge others behaviors and beliefs.

My guess is Kanye West will win--but I voted for Los Lonely Boys. Mark your ballots:
