The Trouble With Twitter of the Day: Apparently the owners of Mobile’s Local 15, Newport Television, didn’t see the humor the rest of the world saw in this rather unfortunate juxtaposition and suspended the station’s General Manager and News Director for a week.
Personally, I would have honored them with some one-off award for being the first to successfully make a gang rape accusation amusing.

Al Green minus about 30 years = HOT DAMN.
He was wonderful at Bonnaroo this year.
“Hold Your Head Up” - Argent
Definitely didn’t reach the same success as The Zombies but Rod Argent’s solo endeavor was still was decent. I’ve always loved this song and I feel there is a similarity between the singing style/voice of Russ Ballard and Sting. The way they’re both wistful and deliver high notes so seamlessly and so effortlessly are what draws me to their music. It’s an uplifting song with “never give up” kind of lyrics. Definitely a fave.
PS - The Midnight Special was the shit. Why couldn’t I have lived through the seventies??

..but my boyfriend’s Dad is a bit of an asshole to me. Always making snide remarks, always putting me down in a passive aggressive kind of way… I’m not one to start drama, but I don’t take that shit from anyone. I’m not sure how to approach this kindly.

The Muppets Take O’Reilly of the Day: Following Bill O’Reilly’s Pulitzer-prize baiting exposé on how Sesame Street is nothing more than a front for far-left indoctrination factory, Sesame Workshop veep Sherrie Westin appeared on last night’s show to plead with Fox News viewers to keep letting her company Svengali their kids into a life of Socialist servitude, and even introduced a new Muppet character modeled after the network’s flagship bloviator: Spill O’Reilly — a grouchy talking head who professes to be an equal opportunity antagonizer.
