Quote of the day : Peace and love / Seriously

"Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us."

- Golda Meir, Israeli Prime Minister, 1957

Song of the day : Peace and love

In the seventies, one had to take sides : Rolling Stones or Beatles ?
I've always been more of a Rolling Stones.

But for peace's sake, I'll be fair and after picking a Stones song, I'll pick a Beatles song...
Once more, tough choice...

The Beatles - Revolution

Writing about the Beatles reminded me of a movie I love - probably the only Sean Penn performance I find bearable... - "I am Sam". Lots of Beatles references. Great movie.

Quote of the day : The Rolling Stones

"Art ? As far as I'm concerned, that's just short for "Arthur"."

- Keith Richards

Song of the day : I can't believe !!!...

I can't believe I have not picked a Rolling Stones song yet ! My bad !!!

Once again, it is hard to pick one song from the Stones discography. I chose one of the most famous, and one of the most beautiful songs ever written (I think).
So, was this song written about Mrs David Bowie, or not ?

Rolling Stones - Angie

Quote of the day : Ambiguity

"I just enjoy screwing with people's heads. For the first half of our gigs, there's normally some guy convinced I'm a girl, and a pretty cute one at that. As the gig continues, it begins to dawn on him that I'm a bloke, and suddenly he has to ask himself some serious questions. Ha ha !"

- Brian Molko

Song of the day : Duets (part 3)

One of the greatest singers with one of the most famous and sexiest Italian singer. Even his name is sexy.

Eros Ramazzotti feat. Tina Turner - Cose della vita

Quote of the day : Healthcare (... Churchill's humor)

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away... especially if you aim carefully."

- Sir Winston Churchill

Song of the day : Duets (part 2)

An amazing cover by two mega-rock stars !

David Bowie and Mick Jagger - Dancing in the street

Quote of the day : Healthcare (... more Groucho's humor)

"I'm not feeling very well. I need a doctor immediately. Ring the nearest golf course."

- Groucho Marx

Song of the day : Duets (part 1)

Some artists recorded cool duets. In the next days, I'll pick some.

Santana recorded an album called Supernatural that included several duets. I like some of them. He also recorded a duet with Steven Tyler (this duet is not on Supernatural).

Santana feat. Steven Tyler - Just feel better

Quote of the day : Everybody needs a good laugh...

I'm a huge Marx fan. Not of Karl, of Groucho, of course !
Being such a huge fan, I can't give only one quote.

"I've had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it."
"I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book."
"I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member."

- Groucho Marx

Song of the day : God is in America

"I'm afraid of Americans,
I'm afraid of the world,
--- God is in America."

Well, probably, since we haven't seen him here for a while...

David Bowie - I'm afraid of Americans

Quote of the day : Just say no !

"There are three side effects of acid : increased long-term memory, decreased short-term memory and I forgot the third."

- Timothy Leary

Tim Leary was a symbol of the counterculture of the 60s. He was a psychologist and a writer. He experimented all kinds of substances.

Song of the day : Stupid lawsuits, keeping judges busy

New fad : don't take responsibility for anything, sue whoever you can sue for your own wrongdoings, keep courts busy. Stupid lady burns her tongue with a coffee, sues McDonald's, wins.

Not exactly matching what I was describing above, this story :
RHCP (THE Red Hot) are suing some Hollywood producers for using the word "Californication" as a title for a TV show. Guys, please take it outside, talk, sort it out - you don't need a court to settle that matter.
BTW, kudos to those Showtime producers who were dumb enough not to ask for permission.

Anyway, I love the album, I love the song and I particularly love the music video.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
