There's Good Music Out There...Just Not On The Air

There is so much music being 'pumped' out, today, especially through the internet, that it really doesn't need to have any quality at all, to fill the market needs.

When I was a kid, my parents didn't play a lot of music, in the house, but I learned music and have had my daughter do the same.

Now that she's in grade 8 piano and plays trumpet and sax, she is constantly digging through my jazz and progressive rock CDs.She listens to a bit of the popular stuff, that her friends like, but seeks out more complex music, with some technical quality. When I peek at her walkman, it's usually got Miles Davis or Wyton Marsallis in it. :-) Her latest thing is U2

AHA!!!
OVEREAGER, CANADA SENDS SMOKESCREEN OVER
U.S. BEFORE CANADIAN INVASION PLANS FINISHED

Canada Also Discloses It Has Invaded U.S. 113 Times, But No One Has Noticed

Ottawa (SatireWire.com) — Embarrassed Canadian generals today conceded an overzealous officer defied orders and started fires in Quebec to shroud the eastern seaboard in smoke before Canada had finished preparing its full-scale invasion of the United States.

As a result, the classic war maneuver of blinding the enemy in advance of an attack was wasted, said Canada's Defence Chief, Lt. Gen. Ray Henault.

"We were supposed to line up on the border, then start the fires," said a clearly disheartened Henault. "It's not like we can do it again. They'll know it's us. I had a cute little house in the Poconos all picked out, too."

With the botched invasion now public, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien scrambled to diffuse anger in Washington. Fortunately, his explanation to President Bush has so far succeeded in deflecting American ire. "He told me the smoke wasn't from Quebec," said Bush. "He said it was from al Quebec. Damn, those guys are everywhere."
