Color me not surprised.

This is embarrassing.  Using our troops to puff up an already huge ego?  Nice job there, Mr. President.

Hate to burst everyone’s bubble, but they did this exact thing (minus the free cameras) for Bush.  Any event with elected politicians and the military is a voluntary event usually only attended by servicemembers who supported that candidate/party.  You think Uncle Sugar would have let me boo Dick Cheney?  of course they screen the goddamn audience.

Anyone who thinks that 90% of what they see in the media isn’t scripted, staged, approved by a publicity team and arranged in advance is living on some sort of alternate plane of existence.  A lot of people make A LOT of money creating the mere illusion of reality for TV, newspapers, magazines and the internet.

arthur p. has been on detroit radio for 39 years.  i do not listen to radio too frequently these days, but i am saddened to think that this next generation won’t be introduced to the rock n roll standards with the same enthusiasm and skill that detroiters took for granted for the past four decades.  bbbbbaaaaabbbbyyy, arthur p’s catch phrase since i can remember, has become so popular in detroit over the years that upwards of 30% of cars in the metro area have had it, or currently have it, as a bumper sticker on their automobile.  arthur p is as detroit as seger, faygo, and getting laid off.  just another detroit resident out of work.  who is gonna fill his spot suzy cole?  that coke whore couldn’t even make it in grand rapids.  i met arthur p once at a club show.  he was old, but very nice.  he was hanging out with alto reed, who is the sax player for bob seger.  that is how fucking cool he is, and how long he has been around the detroit music scene, he just hangs out with members of bob seger’s band.

A sad end of an era, indeed.
