Video Vault – Billy Ocean, “Caribbean Queen”

…So I’m putting my daughter to bed last night, and as I’m picking out a CD to use as the soundtrack, my eye happens upon Billy Ocean’s greatest hits. Okay, he wasn’t the most soulful black man of the ’80s, but, damn, he had some fine pop songs. And this song is…wait for it…simply awesome. (And if you don’t get that joke, you need to listen to the intro to the song again.)

“Snoopy go home,” say Brits

Rapper Snoop Dogg has been denied a British visa, which in turn has wreaked havoc upon his plans for a European tour. According to a representative for Snoop, the rapper is “mystified at the decision” and hopes the British government will reconsider.

Hmmm: mystified, huh? Let us help clear things up for you, Snoop. Remember that time you were arrested at John Wayne Airport for trying to carry a collapsible baton on board a plane? Not smart. Oh, and also? That time you were arrested at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank on suspicion of carrying marijuana AND a handgun? Yeah, the British tend to frown on that, too. I know, they’re hopelessly uptight, but what can you do? It’s their country, and you have to respect their cultural differences. Racist bastards.
