…It’s been in my head ever since… Imagine my surprise as to know a video exists. Please enjoy LaDainian Tomlinson’s “Electric Glide”
I read the defense. I read the defense. I read the defense. I read the defense…
Apparently Jimmy Fallon had some fun with this now classic song as well…
And, look at what we have found here…. Morons had fun with the LT song as well…
25 years later, Boost Mobile is gettinig the team back together to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Super Bowl Shuffle.
At this point only dudes from Chicago really would care about this song and it’s 25 year anniversary. Am I wrong about this topic?
Here is a stream of consciousness catch up on what’s going on in the late night world…
…So Jay Leno moved to 10p and Conan O’Brien moved into the Tonight Show at 11:30p. Jay fails at 10p and goes back to the Tonight Show displacing Conan and his staff which moved from New York to Los Angeles only 8 months ago. Late Night Wars ensue. Jimmy Kimmel and David Lettermen fly into the fray with thoughts, observations and imitations. David’s commentary about the Leno/O’Brien shuffle have been legendary because back in 1992, he was O’Brien in the Leno/O’Brien combination. Kimmel, a relative newcomer to late night TV has been the wild card because he quite frankly has nothing to lose at this point. Kimmel did a masterful impression of Jay that flew around the internet. Leno, knowing that he pwned him then invited him onto his failed show for some segment called 10 questions. Leno was being a powder puff and Kimmel just houses him. Then, Leno went on Oprah and tried to PR his way out of this mess. That brings us to this moment where Kimmel now has to explain himself after this Oprah/Leno clip. Ok are we caught up? Good… here’s the clip…
I’m pretty convinced after all that has happened here with Late Night TV over the last month that I’m ready to crown Kimmel the new “KING OF LATE NIGHT” and start Tivo-ing his show.
Maybe I’ll wait for the second generation…
Prince recorded a Minnesota Vikings fight song. Being a fan of the Purple One, I am able to state that this is not his best work. I’m usually good at finding this stuff. I’m not sure how I missed this one before last Sunday’s Vikings/Saints game. I must be in the presence of a Sith Lord. A dark cloud has enveloped the Jedi Order. I’m going to have get with the other Jedi’s and figure this out right quick.
Back to the mighty fricken awesome Prince. No really… He did record a Vikings fight song… Take a listen…
here’s the lyrics:
the veil of the sky draws open
the roar of the chariots touch down
we r the ones who have now come again
and walk upon water like solid ground
as we approach the throne we won’t bow down
this time we won’t b denied
raise every voice and let it b known
in the name of the purple and gold
we come in the name of the purple and gold
all of the odds r in r favor
no prediction 2 bold
we r the truth if the truth can b told
long reign the purple and gold
the eyes say ready 4 battle
no need 4 sword in hand
we r all amped up like a rock n roll band
ready 2 celebrate every score
ready 2 fight the elegant war
ready 2 hear the crowd roar
that’s what we came 4
and so much more
in the name of the purple and gold
r spirits may b tired
r bodies may b worn
but since this day is r destiny
r history that’s y we must b
4ever strong as the wind that blows the Vikings’ horn
in the name of the purple and gold
we come in the name of the purple and gold
all of the odds r in r favor
no prediction 2 bold
we r the truth if the truth can b told
long reign the purple and gold
We need to sit Prince down and tell him what a good fight song is all about. WE COME IN THE NAME OF THE PURPLE AND GOLD! What was he thinking? Anything off of Around The World In A Day with new lyrics would have trumped this masterwork.
BONUS AWESOME: Here’s Prince live… He is one bad ass mother live. RECOGNIZE!!!
Jose Lugo believes Avatar slanders our miltary. See the below statement…
Avatar the movie – slandering our military.
Avatar is an action packed movie far into the future on a far away planet called Pandora, it uses 3D and computer generated scenes for a stunning picture. What is disturbing about this movie is the possibility that it may be an undeserved insult to the prestigious American Armed Forces.
First this movie uses subtle innuendo to hint that the American Marines are mercenaries that are killing innocent men, women and children to enhance the profits of a corporation. This is done in a very subtle way because no American flag is shown, but the hero of the movie wears a Marine T-shirt and in the beginning says “back home we were Marines, but here we’re just hired guns”, this may be excused as just the standard complaining done by most soldiers. But the fact that they are working for a corporation is spelled out very clearly by one of the actors by his saying “what matters here is quarterly porfits”. Another hint that he is an American is when he makes his video report his home address is Ag, Georga in very fine print at the bottom left of the screen.
After establishing that the American soldiers are mercenaries, two very tragic events in American history are depicted; one is the American Indian wars, the second is the Viet Nam War.
The Indian Wars are hinted at by first establishing that what they are after is a special mineral that floats in the planet Pandoras atmoshpere and is supposed to be worth 20 million dollars a kilo. If you think of “Gold” in place of this floating rock in Pandoras atmosphere you can see the link here between Pandora and the “Gold Rush days” in the American Wild West, along with the land rush that was involved where native American people were killed when they got in the way of gold prospectors and Europeans after land. This theme is enhanced by the native people of Pandora wearing what looks like the native wear of American indigenous people. Also, their use of the bow and arrow as their main weapon, while fighting the Americans armed with guns also hints at the Indian Wars.
The War in Viet Nam is hinted at in some scenes, by what looks something like Hui helicopters (with two rotors instead of one) with open doors that have mounted machine guns pointing out the doors and these helicopters are flying through what is clearly a jungle scene, bringing back images of Viet Nam. The American soldiers talk about winning their “hearts and minds” while other soldiers are saying “you can’t do that with machine guns”, again this also brings back themes from the Viet Nam War. Also, they discribe distance in “clicks” just like they did for the first time in Viet Nam. One soldier is told by a native woman to “go home, you don’t belong here” again, just like Viet Nam.
These hints of The Indian Wars and Viet Nam in the fictious battle of Pandora are saying that American soldiers always have been and always will be mercenaries for the corporations. A clearly false reading of history based on only two wars from the many that were fought in American history.
In real life, some people have tried to smear the American Military with the slander “mercenary”; for example, during the war to free the Mideast country of Kuwait when it was invaded by Iraq. They said the American military was fighting for oil profits for the corporations and even though this was proven to be not true, when American forces withdrew from Kuwait after the defeat of the invading Iraqi forces, no apology was offered to the American military.
The modern American Army has constantly fought for freedom through most of its history. The Civil War freed the slaves, World War II was fought for the freedom of the people of Europe, the Korean War was fought for the freedom of the people of South Korea, the Viet Nam War was fought for the freedom of the people of South Viet Nam.
Granted, the American Indian Wars were not fought for the freedom of anybody, but this was a tragic war of another generation in another time in history. American culture has gone through major changes since that time, but apparently some people can not get over the Indian Wars, and we end up with movies like Avatar that try to portray todays American military personnel as mercenaries for rich people. A clearly underserved insult in what other wise may be a great movie.
It’s interesting to note that nobody has commented on the anti-military aspect of this movie, it in fact has made over a billion dollars in sales. It seems that while it was OK many years ago to insult groups like African Americans, Jews and homosexuals; but today these groups are off limits. The new groups that it’s OK to insult are police, American soldiers, Catholics and politicians, so nobody is objecting to this movie. But is this really OK, I mean American soldiers are giving up their lives and are being maimed for the freedom of many people in this war against terrorists and all the movie industry can do is insult them.

While Late Night TV goes up in flames on NBC, ABC reminds us why Jimmy Kimmel is the true genius of late night.
2010… Yeah! Back from vacation!
Didn’t do much… some work around the house… Christmas… New Years… blah blah blah…
Here’s what I did while I was gone…
Watched Colts football… Resting the starters… Here are the starting Colts on the sideline passing time…
Great asses on those starting Colts!
I thought about Neve Campbell. Where has she been and can she call me?
I dig her scene. Neve, call me!
I kept up on the Tiger deal but really this is the best picture of any of the women to come out of it… The girl with the weird last name. Forgive me for not burning it into memory…. However… This picture has been burned into the memory bank…
Wow… nice.. kudos Tiger!
Hot and wonderfully weirdo actress Juliette Lewis has a great album called Terra Incognita. It’s fantastic. She got together with some of the freaks in the Mars Volta and made a must listen album in a era where we have very few must listen albums. Plus, she’s hot as well…
ridiculous!
Crazy talented and she can sing? I will follow her to the ends of time, if I had more energy. In the meantime, I’ll continue to stalk online.
Watched lots of football both college and pro. I realized that mascots have a pretty decent job.
I mean… That’s a nice view people… let’s not front on the Titans cheerleaders.
Oh and on cable TV… late at night, I found her…
so yeah… vacation was relaxing….
Wild card weekend coming up! Go the teams I want to see win! More on that later…. maybe…
Andy Samberg is one funny futher mucker. He currently is the only funny futher mucker on Saturday Night Live. Well him and the old guy who plays the part of the dude who invented the show.
It’s 5pm… here’s a quickie…
http://www.dailymotion.com/videox8mjnqok… that was too quick… here’s another…
http://www.dailymotion.com/videox8irnwBack at 6pm!
back at 5pm!
This one has slight dialogue in the clip. I love that it’s some dude’s basement. Classic.
http://www.dailymotion.com/videox7wqrqSee you at 4pm!
Sometimes I wonder, “When will someone step up the dinner game? Who is going to change the paradigm of the sit down dinner?”
I now wonder no more….
Pure genius.
