Oh Man. Go West - King of Wishful Thinking.

I wonder what the director of this video (undoubtedly Scorsese) pitched as its concept?

These two guys do a bunch of things infront of a white backdrop, I guess.



Amazing though, right?? This might be the corniest video I've ever seen I think.

So much stuff. The weird electric upright bass. The classic 'whoa! A gorilla head just popped up out of nowhere!! Now its gone again! hah!" at about 2:20. And the two guys in the band keep giving the camera these coy looks. They're kind of going 'We KNOW this is wacky. Just stay with us, ok?'

Wow.

Here's a good cover of this song, too:

Bush on Letterman in 2000

I saw Obama on Letterman last night, and it made me wonder if Bush had done these kind of interviews while he was running for president. I ended up finding these from 2000. It's really pretty interesting:

























Compare how Bush came across then to how Obama does now. Even then, Bush seemed to be a weird, nerdy sort of man child. You guys know what I mean?

Vote!

What song is more sensual, sexy and tantilizingly erotic?

Brian Ferry's Slave to Love








Gowan's luscious Moonlight Desires







or Chris DeBurgh's erotic classic, Lady in Red






The answer, if you ask any woman in her 40's? Too close to call, they're all incredibly sensual.

Doucebags

Have you guys noticed that douchebag seems to be a popular word these days?

It seems to refer to guys like this:













or this:















Orangey men.

I don't mean to be rude, but in my day, these guys were called....ginos, I guess.

You know?

When did we all agree on calling them douchebags?
