being out in ptown with no tv and no newspapers
has kept me a bit out of the loop
when it comes to the terrible
terrible plight of haiti right now
but the little bit of news i have been getting
has broken my heart
it feels like the tsunami all over again
i am sooo soo sorry for the terrible pain and loss
in this country that already has so much poverty and neglect
to survive
hear's hoping that help arrives before violence begins
over there
ok
i must admit
that even though i swore to never watch american idol
again after they pulled off the biggest rip off
since GWbush stole the election from al gore
by giving the very very mildly talented chris allen the win
instead of the uber mega freddy mercury talented adam lambert
because of HOMOPHOBIA!
i wound up on a cold january tuesday night in provincetown
going for a little walk
and saw the lights of george's pizza on
this place has a bar
and heat
so i walked in and asked the bar dude if he would turn on idol
then a small group arrived thrilled to see idol too
and the drinks flowed
i think the bar dude owes me one!
so two vodka gingerales later (my new drink)
i watched idol
i was bummed not to see ellen.. the main reason i wanted to see idol
and posh spice was not much of a sub
sheesh can someone feed this chick
she makes karen carpenter look fat
but man
there were some lousy ass folks trying out
i mean wow
i sing better then some of these kids
but what i realized as some mediocre talents got in
was that you really have to be somewhat good looking to make it on idol
i don't know why i never figured this out before
but the blonde pizza face guy
he was not gonna get in no matter how good he sang
no high note was gonna open the doors for the zit king
Market-able was the word i heard
and i felt well blonde for not getting it before
you can't be over 28
to be on idol
you can't be fat
you can't be ugly
you can't have bad skin
so wow
susan what's her face from england
boyle, doyle
she would never fly here
that's lame
i want to see a 40-year-old fat lady rock the house!!!
yeah yeah i know
only an idiot would not have figured this out sooner
but sometimes i'm just a little naiive
sigh
can i just ask
am i the only person in the world
who just friggen hates jay leno
i just couldn't stand this guy from day one
he looks like the elephant man
i mean jeez
how much does that guys head weigh?
then you start with the million vintage cars and motorcycles
and hey the guy just isn't even friggen funny
then he insists on a 10pm spot
who the hell would wanna watch jay leno during prime time
im glad the show bombed
maybe leno will eat a little humble pie
personally
i dont watch any of those guys
conan
letterman
and the new dude jimmy fallon
but i can tolerate these guys a whole lot more then leno
maybe that's because their head can fit into an average doorway
i do have a little trouble imagining how letterman has managed to screw so much of his staff
but i guess money and celebrity buys everything
but hey at least letterman is funny
maybe not the best Oscar awards host
but ya know besides that
when it comes to great late night hosts
i thought johnny carson was the end of an era
but i do give conan a huge round of applause for standing up to NBC
and saying hell no
we won't go to 12:05
HI KIDS
im out in provincetown mass
and honey let me tell you
in january this is a very different town then the crowded summer days
normally it's like a ghost town in january
but after the hellacious 8 hour bus ride from hell
i did notice more life then usual
seems football had a huge crowd of drunken guys and gals
at a bar called THE PIG
gotta love that name
i guess when only 4 or 5 joints are open i town
they can get crowded with the oh maybe 500 people
here in january
anyway
im here to write, paint and find my inner
diva
i shall keep you posted
meanwhile
can i just say
i feel it in my bones dear
2010
much better
year then 2009
really
howdy darlings
again sorry bout the spam attack
the lovely and talented la matrix is working on a web re-design that shall
get rid of all the spam
i hope i hope
meanwhile
went out to the robert miller gallery last night
to see the wondrous patti smith
who was displaying her art, not music
oh it was a grand evening my dears
full of older hipsters
like 80's hipsters
folks who remember CBGB's when it was rough
all dressed in black
and yes
while 20-something hipsters
might say
not so cool
i say way cooler!
hey even jessica lange was there
i admit the chelsea art scene has become a bit too
GROSS for my nerves
but once in awhile
it all feels rather groovy
