It still seems The Dixie Chicks can’t get a break as country radio stations are still refusing to play their music. This despite their Grammy slam dunk. Look, people who have your heads buried in your behinds over this matter: it’s time to get over it and move on. If you haven’t noticed lately, the president’s approval ratings are completely in the toilet, and even many of his Republican yes men are starting to turn on him. Oh wait, I forgot. The only “America” worth living in is the closed-minded kind where everyone agrees and is still living in the backwoods Dark Ages. Being a free-thinking adult sure is a bitch, huh?

Look closely at the pathetic white rapper urging you to “do what I do and use that Turbo Tax mojo” in this video. Has K-Fed found a new career in self-mockery?
But no, hang on: this guy’s taller than K-Fed, and, as far as we know, he has not yet impregnated Britney Spears. So who could it be? Take a look, and judge for yourself:
Why, it’s none other than K-Fed’s original rap inspiration…a man who needs no introduction…and who really should not be hawking tax software, given that he himself has likely earned no income from rapping for at least the past fifteen years. Word to your mother.

Few bands in history have enjoyed the impact the Police created when they started up in the late seventies. Nobody knew who they were, but when Sting began belting out “Roxanne” over the radio airwaves, it was the beginning of an era. Through five studio albums – and God willing, perhaps the recently reunited band will provide us with a sixth album in the not too distant future – the band had its share of hit singles, in particular “Every Breath You Take,” which was a global #1. But many less acclaimed songs on each record were works of art in their own way, and a sampling follows after you click here.
I’m not even going to pretend that I watched the whole thing; it’s not an elitist thing, but the reality is that I don’t really tend to listen to a lot of albums that end up being nominated for Grammys, which means that I mostly watch to see older artists popping up. That’s why the highlights of what I saw were threefold:
1. The Police doing a quite acceptable job on “Roxanne.” C’mon, baby, let the world tour stop in Hampton Roads!
2. Smokey Robinson knocking “The Tracks of My Tears” out of the park. Dude’ll be 66 years old next week, but you couldn’t prove it by looking at him OR listening to him.
3. Lionel Richie singing “Hello” and making me feel like I was a teenager again.
Yeah, that’s pretty much all I can say I full-on loved…but something I legitimately disliked was the fact that when Tony Bennett won his award for Best Pop Collaboration (with Stevie Wonder), he thanked Target for being the best sponsor he’s ever had…and you could hear people booing him! Are you kidding me? The guy’s 80 years old, he’s a legend, and thanks to the sponsorship of Target, he got major publicity for his album of duets AND a prime-time special to celebrate his 80th birthday. So what if he thanked them?
They never were the same without Bon, I don’t care what ya might say. Enjoy “Jailbreak.”
