Susanna Hoffs - Susanna Hoffs
There are a lot of fans out there of the band The Bangles, what many people don’t know, is there is some newer stuff out there by the lead. If you were a sucker for Eternal Flame or Manic Monday, you really need to give this album a try. I honestly have to say, there is not a song on this album I do not like, they are all very well done, and very much in the same feel as something like Eternal Flame.

This is one of those albums you forget about having, the radio never seems to play it, and no one else seems to know about it, yet, on random, iTunes shoves it in my face. When that happens, its like I just discovered it all over again. As strange as my musical tastes get, I put this on my top ten of all time for certain, sadly, iTunes does not offer a sample, so you will have to use Amazon.

A few days ago HBO was airing a special on the youth of today in regards to the age old sex, drugs, and alcohol. It was Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, and I will be damned if the crappy HBO.com website can lend a hand in finding a link.

We all did it, we all outgrew it, those who did not, have deeper issues anyway. So here we have this father, who refused to talk to his kid if he interrupted him or raised his voice. If these two rules were fractured, it was off to his room for 45 minutes of grounding.

What got me, is how in the hell could anyone take this father serious. Imagine sitting on the couch, with your 50 year old dad, with a full porn star mustache, shorts that make my boxers look like clam-diggers, and a pink golf shirt to top it off. Are you fucking serious, no wonder your kid does not listen to you, you are a total pussy, an embarrassment. Take a peek in the mirror, if you look like a washed up porn star, sans the usual arm candy, you suck, don’t even bother trying to discipline your kid, you failed yourself, you certainly won’t be looked up to by your kid.
