It's Gonna Be A Stone Gas Honey!

Even though the writer strike is over, TV is still pretty terrible. So, its good that there is some nostalgic shows to watch, one of those shows being Soul Train. I grew up on Soul Train, so its so cool to see these episodes again and just sit back reminisce. From Don Cornlieus' smooth baritone voice, the Asian lady with the long hair, the guy with the never ending collection of masks, the tall light skin brother who had all the Michael Jackson dance moves to a T. Ahh, the memories!

Beyond the fashion statements, and the horrible attempts of lip-syncing, one of my favorite parts of the show has to be the Soul Train line. What is your favorite memory from Soul Train?

With the repeats being broadcast, I can go back and complete my music collection with the help of Itunes. For example, I found "Satin Soul" by Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra. So, when you get the chance, go back in time and watch a Soul Train show...it will be a stone gas!! Love...Peace.......and Soulllllll!!!

If This Is Not A Recession.....What Do You Call It?

I thought I was taught if it there are two consecutive quarters of no growth, (GDP, GNP whatever it is lol) it should be considered to be a recession. That's was my understanding. I am telling my age but I do remember the recession of the 1990's but this one seems to be more intense....

Everything is sky high: from gas, eggs, milk, cheese to the terrible housing bust, the economy is awash across the board. I respect Congress' attempts to revive the economy with these economic stimilus checks but most consumers will strive to be savvy and probably try to save the money. We don't know how long we are going to be in this funk, but I have heard that Wal-Mart stores will be cashing checks for cusotmers at no charge, making it easier for consumers to spend, spend, spend! What are you going to do with your check?

If this isn't recession, what would you like to call it. Increased crime, along with the morale of the country is really at the nadir. Being that we are in the information age, this crisis will be easy to keep up...stay tuned!!
