Thursday, June 26th, 2008In the beginning, GENESIS started life as an art-rock installation full of bold, in-your-face ideas and snooty, experimental posturing. After the defection of resident wierdo PETER GABRIEL, the band settled into a trio with pop-chart sensibilities and a genial, balding frontman/drummer PHIL COLLINS. The eighties were kindest to the band, as they scored several huge, [...]
The Last Of The Breed
Monday, June 23rd, 2008
True originality and greatness are fading quickly in the music world. As each year goes by, we lose more of musics great pioneers. This year we have already lost Bo Diddley, Eddy Arnold, and Buddy Miles and most of the ones left are to old to continue to record new music or even play live shows. Just [...]
When Is Enough, Enough ?
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008In 1994, The Eagles reunited. They did this despite the fact that they still hated each other. The group decided that enough money could make a reunion tour worth having to be around each other. They openly reunited just for the money and made a ton of it on the Hell Freezes Over Tour.
Since The [...]
A Clone Too Far
Saturday, May 10th, 2008Let me tell you a story about my first love.
It was June 4th, 1977. That Saturday, like most summer days in St. Louis, steamed under a blanket of oppressive humidity. Polyester leisure suits gave way to polyester tank tops, while feathered Farrah Fawcett hairstyles wilted in the unrelenting airlessness. Trans Ams shimmied on the blacktop [...]
Holy Shit!!!! The House Is Shaking
Friday, April 18th, 2008
This morning as a laid peacefully in my bed, sound asleep, I was suddenly awoken to find that my house was shaking. First I though, my wife must have jumped out of bed and ran though the house. Then I realized she was still in bad and the house was moving, I didn’t know what [...]
Let’s Remake Everything!!!
Friday, March 28th, 2008Hey Hollywood! Here’s a great idea: LET’S REMAKE EVERYTHING! Every single piece of material ever produced on film or on television needs to be remade.
What about classics, you ask? FUCK IT!! We’ll remake CITIZEN KANE with Jonah Hill as Charles Foster Kane and Michael Cera as his “wacky” sidekick Jedediah Leland! We’ll not only improve [...]
Double Standard?
Monday, February 18th, 2008This past Friday night Charles Barkley appeared on CNN and was interviewed by Wolf Blitzer. Barkley spoke his mind and maybe caused an uproar from the Conservative right-wing Christians.
It Ain’t Cool
Sunday, February 17th, 2008Everyone knows that Harry Knowles, the so-called “head geek” over at Ain’t It Cool News, is a media conglomerate-sucking whore of epic proportions. Harry would eat out his dead grandmother’s cold, gray asshole if he thought there was a dime just inside her rectum.
But this article decrying the death of HD-DVD is just too much [...]
The Ultimate Idiot
Monday, February 11th, 2008I love it when people who were never really very famous in the past, try as hard as they can to get people to notice them one last time. Former wrestle Ultimate Warrior is the lastest never-was trying to get just 15 more minutes.
Super Tuesday?
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008The results from the massive Super Tuesday voting came trickling in overnight and into this morning. It appears that Hillary Clinton and her merry band of major defense contractors beat out Barack Obama on the Democratic side, and John McCain and his merry band of defense contractors beat out everyone else on the Republican side.
Doesn’t that [...]
Best Supporting Actor and Actress
Thursday, January 24th, 2008Like the lead categories the supporting one are dominated by the male performances. Sentimentality and surprise are against the reactions of the female nominees as opposed to the overwhelming amount of quality work on the male side. Take a look.
Best Actor and Actress
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Can one help but notice how weak the field is in both actress categories, and how strong the men are? Usually there are strong performances across the board. Here the real quality seems to be on the male side. Take a look at the nominees in the lead acting categories.
Goodbye, Heath
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008Most words fail to convey the utter helplessness and sadness at the passing of someone special like Heath Ledger. News reports can tell you the forensic details, but nothing can really capture the heart-raping agony of this talented boy’s death.
Here’s a poem that I put together in honor of this wonderful and troubled young man.
The Best Of Black Entertainment
Monday, January 21st, 2008In honor of Martin Luther King day, I thought I would take a look at some of the best moments in the history of black entertainment.
All Scared Out
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008The recent double-whammy of watching The Orphanage and the release of a trailer for Doomsday has me lamenting the sad state of horror films these days. What exactly are the problems plaguing this least-respected but beloved movie genre?
Enough Is Enough
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008I have fucking had it with the Britney Spears shit. I can’t understand why her fucked up life is a news story and I really can’t understand how people can still be defending her.
Busting The Closet Door Down
Monday, January 14th, 2008Tomorrow is the day in the U.S. that the unauthorized Tom Cruise biography is being released, and Tom is pissed. In fact he feels like a straight man being pulled out of a closet with leather chaps on and cum dripping from his mouth.
The Writerless Rant
Saturday, January 12th, 2008I really love Bill Maher and his Real Time show. It seems to be one of the last havens of smart, witty, nail-on-the-head discussion on television. In fact, I think a show teaming Maher and Jon Stewart would be a liberal powerhouse unlike any other; they should run for President and Vice President.
Maher has a potent mix of [...]
Withdrawal Of Paul
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008For months now most of us here at The Rec Show have been vigorously banging a drum for the campaign of Ron Paul. His ideas for fixing many of the problems plaguing America - and, by association, the world - seem both practical, respectful, and intelligent.
However, the behavior of his supporters, in addition to a [...]
Orwell Got The Date Wrong
Sunday, January 6th, 2008In recent months, Republican candidate Ron Paul has been derided in the mainstream media for his attacks against “neocons” and their agenda to create a North American Union and remove the civil liberties and protections once enjoyed by Americans. His ideas have been consistently portrayed as the rantings of the lunatic fringe.
Does he sound like a [...]
