well, that celebrity crime scene: john lennon came on while i was typing. since i wasn't really lookng at the screen (and seeing john), i decided to listen.... sort of...
here are a few things i thought were especially weird...
dude who shot john lennon (i am not allowed to say his name, but his initials work out to 13-4-3) had $2,200 on him. this is super weird to me.
also, the doctor who attended john lennon said after they tried everything they could (they thought perhaps they could save him even though he died in the police car on the way to the hospital) that they had to be particularly careful afterwards. first, he wanted to make sure EVERYTHING related to john's treatment was packed up and destroyed (no souvenirs) particularly the linens they'd used. i think he may have personally attended to that detail, so that makes me wonder if someone was really trying to get their hands on something. also, he had to make sure that no one talked about john.
even after all of these years, he did not say very much about john. i don't think that is a bad thing. unless there is a VERY GOOD reason for things to be told, john has a right to privacy.
the police said the guy who shot john didn't act much like the usual homicide suspect, but they felt he was "trying to set up an insanity defense." he even made it sound at one point that he was just supposed to shoot someone, other times specifically he was supposed to shoot john. in fact, he put it off earlier that day because john had been really nice to him. (so sad)
the police believe this guy is definitely the shooter and not a patsy. that is one way to do the manchurian candidate thing, there's a patsy and a real shooter. this just seems to be a one-man operation. i read that sean lennon thinks his father was killed by someone other than the person who pulled the trigger, so to me, that says a lot. he's heard much more evidence than i ever will. even though he's been raised by yoko's crazy ass, i'm sure* he's reasonably intelligent (*note: this is a figure of speech, i don't actually know this, haha, perhaps i should have said "i hope"?) and wouldn't be saying such things if not for a good reason.
anyway, hopefully one day there will be justice for john lennon. may he rest in peace.

lady antebellum, how stupid are people really?
i just heard on vh1 that people do not know what this name means. AARGGGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!! there a thing i have heard of called a 'dictionary' look it the fuck up. i am not into this group. it sounds like country music to me. most country music (with only a few songs notable exception) sucks so bad i cannot even deal.
speaking of things i cannot deal with...
being raised with a bunch of baby boomers, i hate the beatles. i mean, i can't listen to them hardly at all. but i don't think they suck... it's just me. they are talented. i get why other people might like them. but, maybe in 30 more years, i can try them out.
so, that's what i meant by john lennon. i don't listen to his stuff really. but, he was really talented. he wasn't putting out crap by any means (i am counting yoko's contributions separately).
any time there is someone talented at the forefront of music, it does elevate everything. and i can appreciate that even if that person isn't someone i am personally into. that's why it really upsets me about john dying like he did. if he'd been around some of the crap we all lived through musically probably wouldn't have happened because they'd been too embarrassed to put crap like that out.
the record companies apparently want cookie cutter music. they want everyone to be expendable and replaceable. they do not want to be held hostage to some "artiste" who can't think of anything to put on his/her album right now when they would really like a bestseller. that's why sometimes people who could have long careers really do not (in fact this often seems to be due to some sort of tragic death, go figure).
and they wonder why we could give a shit that they are going out of business. in fact, we're a bit gleeful about it... we know good and well that the people who have talent will be able to get their music out. they always have and they always will. back in the day, people passed mix tapes around and then you'd go on the EPIC SEARCH to find someone who carried the real thing for your favorites. well, it's way easier now.
as for cookie cutter, a good example of what i mean is this rich chick from a rich suburb kesha (she spells it with a '$', but fuck that noise). she's working the dirty ho angle. wtfever. i know exactly where she is from and i have to LOL. but her song tik tok, dance hit, anyone with any ability could make that a hit. now, many people wouldn't lower themselves to that simplistic rhyme scheme and whatnot. but if they would... it'd be a hit. now, she's got TWO MORE SONGS. if anyone spends money on this .... gah, i have to wonder. they still have radio, right? listen 4 free, peeps.
so, jessica simpson is kind of a more simplistic pop star type, but she's not working the dirty ho angle (no offense to dirty hos, but if you work it you ought to be one). i think she's trying to be herself. and i do respect this. still not going to listen to her, but i do respect this. plus, being mean to her seems a lot like kicking a puppy. i think she realizes she's not the "be all and end all of music".
hmmm... i think anyone who ever actually WAS the "be all and end all of music" has too much respect for other composers to run off at the mouth like that. but, what do i know, i have never met these people as they have been dead for some centuries.
as for my musical taste... yeah, i am from that really fucking annoying gen x group to is picky as fuck about all music and super hyper critical. and i'm totes used to someone saying "i don't liiiiiike that! can't we listen to air supply???" (a direct quote from one of my h.s. hangout partners)
but i have studied music, so i respect if someone has skill on their instrument or can write good lyrics or is trying new things. anyone who is doing all of that and doing it well, is pretty impressive, no matter what genre they're working. and it's sad that the music industry doesn't seem to appreciate it.
not the whole industry, naturally, there are people who are into talent. but they are always outnumbered by people who are into money. apparently pairing the two together seems to be more trouble than it's worth.

john lennon, i cant bring myself to watch...
vh1 (or maybe it's mtv... viacom anyway) has a show called "celebrity crime scene." this week: john lennon. even the commercials (when it's mostly a renactment) are creeping me out.
I saw the anna nicole one. btw, howard K. stern and two doctors are on trials nowish due to the fact that had she not been taking chloral hydrate as a sleep aid, she'd still be alive. toxicology showed that it was what made the low doses of other drugs fatal. (hmmm... I wonder if daniel smith so happened to have been "using" it as well?)
they called this an "antiquated sleep aid". they aren't kidding. people have been using it since the 18th century. it's possibly fine if you're not taking valium or something (low doses of 8 other drugs including an antibiotic were in anna's system).
I saw the michael jackson one. his doctor is either the worst doctor ever or he killed michael on purpose. he's on trial so maybe we'll find out.
he did such things like trying to break michael's "addiction to profinol" by loading him down with psychohypnotics (valium, etc.) then giving him the profinol anyway.
then he went and yammered on the phone for an hour. when he strolled back in, he glanced over and noticed michael. so he bounced him around on the mattress doing fake cpr for 20-25 minutes before running to tell security to call 911. (wasnt there a cell phone in this?)
so, and trust me I am NOT a fan of mj, this sounds like straight up murder. michael was not in good health, so this was overkill.
everyone says when they give you this in the hospital, a nurse is assigned to watch your breathing and heart rate the entire time. I have seen this being done. since you're knocked out, the nurse doesn't have to be quiet (although they probably will be) or sitting in the dark. this is the original story dr. murray told the lapd. he's changed it since then.
so, I guess the difference is we all know exactly WHAT killed john lennon. being shot is frequently fatal as is losing a lot of blood. both things happened to john. and we know who was actually holding the gun. what we don't know... they're not going to get into based on what they've said. so, I guess there's no point in watching.
speaking of john lennon ... there's a lot of bringing up how he was killed lately.
conspiracy "theories" are (and have been for years) that this is manchurian candidate murder. I really don't know the conspiracy details on this one, but it stinks pretty badly.
I just hate to see that kind of thing. it's sad and it's so wasteful. I seriously doubt this one is still being truly investigated, so it's just a death renactment. and it's been renacted too much already.
let's try to remember john's life rather than his death (since we can't bring him back) unless there is a good chance to get justice for him.
honestly, I am kind of neutral on john lennon from a fan standpoint ... he seemed nice and he was talented. he's a little like jessica simpson to me (only a much, much better musician, singer, and songwriter), I have no reason to speak ill of him. but, what happened to him was really unfair. if the promos for the show bother me so much, I wonder how his fans feel about it...
of course, not all celebrity crimes are fatal (thankfully). I wonder if they're going to do any of those? that would be interesting because they could get the victim's viewpoint.
an example of what I mean would be what happened to erin andrews with that weirdo peeping tom putting naked pictures of her on the internet. granted, we know she didn't like it one bit. but, what precautions have been taken protect her and other people from this sort of thing? does she have any advice for other victims?
