  1. RCGZ — a very, very timely article !!
    Seems that the media can be as wrong about companies as global warming.

  2. This is the Jimmie Rogers to which Van Morrison referred in the song “Cleaning Windows.” In the song, he went home and listened to Jimmie Rogers in his lunch break.

  3. OMG that’s some of the worst “music” I’ve ever heard in my life. Not that I’m looking to start a contest or anything.
    I wanted to poke my ears out.
    yes I listened to the entire thing… right out of “The Gong Show”.

  4. That was recorded in 1927, Marc, as the entry clearly states, and is generally consider to be (if you would bother to read the other links in the SDA LNR shows) a seminal work in the history of country music. If you have no interest in historic music recorded in situ then there’s no need to listen to it, but the study of such music is part of our mandate here at SDA LNR, so there’s no use complaining about it either. I’m sure you can find lots of “pop music” at YouTube or on MTV without our help 😉

  5. oh I understand it’s an important piece of music, a half a million copies sold is an enormous statement as to what else the world was listening to then…
    I’m not such a fan of “pop” music… nor do I need to search for it, (it’s everywhere!) I listen to “most” of your contributions as I find them an eye (ear?) opening experience for me. I enjoy some (like the recent Nat King Cole selection) and dislike some, but as stated by me earlier, I listened to its entirety. Quite often, it is what pushes me to follow the YouTube linkage to something else, some other hidden gem, or the personal history of why Mr. Cole smoked so much (for example) that I wouldn’t normally pay any heed to.
    still, it sounds like he was trying to make fun of country music, not be a net contributer.
    I wouldn’t subject anyone to listen to only my lengthy list of favorite compositions… “I don’t know” what makes for “good music”, and I thank you for your many contributions to this most excellent blog of Kate’s.

  6. I knew that I had seen a cartoon somewhere that had cold cuts and the conservative brand somewhere. After a bit of brainstorming I remembered where.It is here,http://www.garth.ca/weblog/page/9/,along with a comment (at 1:15a.m.) about people 70+ eating the cold cuts. Of course,IMHO, posting something like this on a blog where the whole world can see it is not as tasteless as saying a comment on a confidential conference call,but I still think it should be mentioned.

  7. Douglas at 11:42 –
    I think most likely the Jimmy Rogers mentioned in Van Morrison’s song “Cleaning Windows” was the Chicago blues singer (1924-1997).
    Van was heavily immersed in Chicago blues in his early days.

  8. Ah, fair enough Marc, perhaps I over-read your position, sorry. Personally, I’m not such a big fan of country and western music myself (though there are certain works I do particularly like), rather it is that I am a bit of an amateur student of music, and I do think that SDA LNR publishes to an audience worth serving, and I do think that eclectic breadth is one of the most important ways to serve such a varied audience, so I really do think that tonight’s show was representative (and after all, Thursday night is the weekly wild-card show 😉
    Now here’s some really bad music: The 2008-04-29 SDA LNR Show!
    Anyway, tomorrow night is another show, eh what?
    Thanks for listening, Marc, and I do mean that sincerely.

  9. Here’s some breasking news…
    The Harper Conservatives are being considered for a new category in the Guiness World Record Book for the most public apologies made over an entire election campaign. They’ve already won for the most in 1 day.

  10. From http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=27/
    (Steve McIntyre on the Bre-X Scam and “consensus”from 2005)
    I’m pretty sure that Michael de Guzman received an award as well. Both were at the convention to receive their awards. They walked around as though they were kings of the world, inflated by the admiring recognition of their peers. Given that de Guzman had organized and directed the biggest salting operation in the history of mining, you would think that he would have been a little embarrassed by the public honors, but quite the opposite. Human nature is a funny thing.
    Perhaps de Guzman felt “entitled” to the adulation and genuinely thought that scamming and dishonesty was the way all successful people succeed.
    I wonder where he is now.

  11. I love Jimmie Rogers’ music. In that video his voice doesn’t really come across well, what with cinema-stage miking, but on his records he had a really soothing, reassuring voice and an ability to communicate tenderness and empathy like no one else. An entirely friendly, amiable voice with no trace of snark.
    In “Hobo Bill’s Last Ride” it’s hard not to empathize with the dying feller in the song; through the little details and Rogers’ voice you feel like you’re in the boxcar with him. A lot of other artists have covered that song, but without the same effect.
    I’ve always loved the happy, nostalgic “My Little Old Home Down in New Orleans.” I was surprised when I learned that he knew he was hours from death by tuberculosis when he recorded it. Such a happy song — so friendly-sounding, no bitterness.

  12. There was a period in the early half of the last century when country and western music encompassed yodeling. All of the cowboy movie stars who could sing, used it: Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Tex Ritter, etc.. This one is Hank Snow in a rather obscure song I don’t remember making it big.
    When a youngster I remember my folks making fun of the Country/Western singers; said they sang with their noses pinched, but it seemed every darned radio station played the same thing. For some reason I enjoy it today.

  13. Vitruvius,

    they’re grinning and joking like old fools, obviously enjoying every second of that night and a standing O to boot! you just can’t find this on any old “pop music” street corner..
    I’ve seen it previous to tonight, after one of your previous SDA LNR posts…? and yes I like this one.

  14. True enough, Exetaz, though unlike the other four yodelling shows we’ve done here at SDA LNR, I think the yodelling was incidental to tonight’s show. What really sealed the value of Jimmy’s T is for Texas, for me, was its bridging relationship between earlier railroad blues music and what was to become country music.
    Aha! Always re-preview before posting 😉 Thanks for those links EBD, great stuff. (And the Louis Armstrong and Johnny Cash Blue Yodel No. 9 SDA LNR show you are referring to, Marc, is available via the above link in this comment.)

  15. It was with the previous four SDA LNR yodelling shows in mind that I was moved to note that it’s an acquired taste. The clip of the Bavarian champion still haunts my dreams ;).

    do an edit seek on ‘rumsfeld’.
    “In 1997, Donald Rumsfeld was appointed Chairman of the Board of Gilead Sciences, a company which a year earlier had developed ‘Tamiflu’, originally a drug for AIDS and later marketed as a vaccine for H5N1 avian flu. Upon becoming US Defence Secretary in 2001, he ordered $1 billion worth of Tamiflu to be bought and injected into US soldiers as a ‘precaution’. At the time, Rumsfeld was the principal stockholder of Gilead Sciences. Worse still, it later emerged that Tamiflu was not even effective as a H5N1 vaccine.”
    now connect the dots:
    donny rummy as sec of defense ordered a billion bucks worth of INEFFECTIVE vaccine to be purchased from a company in which he was the major stockholder.

  17. Do keep in mind, Ouch, that WikiLeaks is in no sense adjudicated, thus if you wish to build an argument for a conjecture, you’ll need more than a single reference from there. Yea though only a small relative portion of our species are professional fraud artists, it’s still a large number absolutely. I think it risks an own goal to assume that, in this case, the fraud artist is Mr. Rumsfield, and not your source. Of course, significant evidence may convince me otherwise, should it be forthcomming.

  18. I’ve always found freestyle rap battles, in which arguing rappers take turns bragging about themselves while dissing their opponent, to be baffling, because I just can’t make out the words, and even when I can, so much of it is street slang that I’m unfamiliar with.
    Fortunately, a social anthropologist has accurately translated one such battle into clear and proper English.
    Much safer than it otherwise would be, of course, but still Not necessarily SFW.

    Joe Welch Moment
    Thuggery on the road to the White House.
    By Hadley Arkes
    ‘Our friends in the McCain campaign have shown real wit and moxie in the ads they’ve run — they’ve been quick to spring into action, and deft in their angles of attack. I’d hesitate to tell them what to do, but they’ve been so imaginative and so jolting in the jabs they’ve made that they simply inspire the kibitzers among their friends to point out other possible targets and zingers.
    In that vein, I’d put out a ringing plea: Don’t pass up on the recent report that John Fund offered in the Wall Street Journal, about the army of lawyers that the Obama campaign landed in Alaska. They parachuted in with the mission of finding dirt or anything they can portray as dirt about Sarah Palin. We can ram this one right through them — it has all of the makings of our Joseph Welch moment from the McCarthy hearings: “At long last, sir, have you no decency?”

  20. Thanks for that link, Revnant Dream, it reflects the position I’ve come to take on the matter of Mr. Obama. It’s one thing to say A and do A, or to say B and do B, as Mr. McCain seems to have a history of doing, but to say A and do B, as Mr. Obama seems to prefer, seems to me to be the mark of the charlatan.

  26. Someone commented that the Toronto Star is giving away free issues just as the election campaign started. Montreal’s La Presse which has had such huge objective headlines as the recent “Who Will Stop Harper?” is also giving away free papers.
    This is a great way to help the Liberals without increasing their expenses under campaign rules. Anybody else wonder about this timing?
    As for Chretien I will never forgive him for the François Beaudoin affair, where the president of the Business Development Bank of Canada was wrongfully dismissed from his job during the Shawingate controversy. Je me souviens in Quebec!

  27. Van Morrison had a song called “Cleaning Windows”?
    Wonder if he got the idea from George Formby’s “Ive Been Cleaning Windows”. Anyone ever heard of that one? Think he played the banjo as his accompaniment.

  28. I totally “wonder” about the timing of freebies for the Librano$ by their cheerleaders and allies in the MSM, Nicola.
    ‘Anybody else disgusted by the pile-on of the MSM–CBC, CTV, most of the print dailies–of the CPC?
    I watched in almost disbelief last night as CTV NewsNet played, with a screen shot, the Ritz “Gaffe” and the Cannon assistant “Gaffe” over and over again, about once every 20 minutes. I’m not kidding. And this went on all night.
    Craig Oliver had the audacity to say that “the public” would keep these things going for a few more days. Sure. Uh-huh. Isn’t it the salivating-for-victory-for-the-Librano$ that keep these gaffes going by repeating them ad nauseum?
    I’m reminded why I don’t watch television very much anymore.
    Listen to what Lannigan, Lawrence Cannon’s assistant said to a group of unruly Natives who tried to disrupt Cannon’s public appearance:
    “If you behave and you’re sober and there’s no problems and if you don’t do a sit-down…One of them showed up the other day and was drinking.”
    When she was asked by a Native man if she was calling him an alcoholic, she replied, “I’m not calling you an alcoholic, no.” It was just to say that you’re in a federal office. If you’re coming in to negotiate, I expect, there’s decorum that has to be respected.”
    What’s wrong with THAT? In another, more serious, more sane time, most people would see nothing wrong with her asking for decorum from a group wanting to meet with a Minister of the Crown.
    But in these “whatever,” it’s-everyone’s-fault-but-mine times, the whole Native band, according to one of their spokespeople, was “offended” and “insulted.”
    In the case of Ritz, he was not speaking in public when he made the black-humour jokes. This “gaffe” only has legs because Ritz’s words were leaked to the press (where did the leak come from? Which civil servant should be disciplined? Which member of the press took it and ran with it?) and the MSM is flogging it for all their worth.
    I’m hoping this despicable and unprofessional pile-on by the MSM has exactly the opposite effect on the public. It’s unconscionable that the Canadian press is propagandizing for one of our political parties.

  31. I am shocked and offended by these comments that were not said to me or intended for my hearing. Frikkin’ people now a days have such a thin skin it is almost too much to take anyone seriously. Clearly, some people have to get a life and the apologists have to quit apologizing for farts in the wind.

    Morrison’s “Cleaning Windows” starts off “Oh the smell of the bakery from across the street got in my nose as we carried our ladders down the street with the wrought iron rows.

  35. I’m right with you, batb. The behaviour of CBC, this week in particular has been appalling, and as you said, unconscionable.
    Too many Conservatives say “who cares about the CBC anyway, nobody watches”, but it’s exactly that attitude that allows the CBC-Liberal network to can get away with it.
    On Wednesday the National’s employees undertook a dramatic, shaky-camera chasedown of Ritz in an airport, like he was some international criminal being finally caught on camera by the Fifth Estate, and the extent of coverage has just been ridiculous — transparent.
    Like you said, it’s a case of embedded bureaucrats working in tandem with the Liberals and the media to vilify the Conservatives; Dion is dead in the water, so they go to these strategic “scandals.”
    This is a taxpayer-funded public broadcaster we’re talking about, yet it’s nothing more and nothing less than a public-relations arm of the Liberal party. Just appalling.
    If Conservative voters — and NDP voters, if they could wake up and stop pretending that the CBC is on their side — would break their CBC fast just from now until the election, there’d be a lot of jaws dropping, and a lot of shock and anger, and the CBC wouldn’t be getting away with it.

    The campaign rally at the Carpenter’s Union Hall gave party faithful a chance to see their leader in the flesh, cheer their local candidates and whip themselves up into an energetic frenzy with inflatable noise sticks.
    For the more detached onlookers, however, it was a chance to see whether Dion is as bad a performer as eyewitnesses say he is.
    Trust me, he is.
    Within a few moments of taking the stage the other night, Dion was mangling and mutilating English with all the abandon of a kitchen garburator.
    At his first stab, the word “China” came out sounding like “Cheena.”
    And his rendering of “Niagara” sounded like a cross between “Nicaragua” and “Viagra.””

    The incendiary column by Toronto-based writer Heather Mallick appeared on the CBC News site on Sept. 5, after the close of the Republican National Convention.

    Unfortunately, EBD, despite shock and anger–which are totally the most appropriate responses to the MSM interference in this election–the CBC would still get away with what they’re doing.
    They’ve got it down to a fine art and the wimpishness of the brainwashed Canadian public and the inability–or the lack of will–on the part of our politicians to rein in this l/Liberal propaganda machine supported by taxpayers’ dollars ensures that the CBC has carte blanche and unlimited funds to prop up the Librano$ while piling on the CPC and PMSH. The CBC, and other Canadian media such as CTV, are fanning the flames of these CPC “gaffes,” while they almost virtually ignore all of the LPC, NDP, and GP gaffes, of which there have been many (see maz2’s post @ 8:49 a.m.).
    There should be a law about news networks shilling for political parties during an election campaign–or at any time. The CBC is no better than Tass or Pravda (“The Truth”) and yet, Canada is supposed to be a democracy not a totalitarian state.
    Yeah, right.

  41. batb – the poll asking about Ritz WAS on the CTV site. I saw it yesterday.
    By the way, with reference to Dion’s current statements that he’s drastically cutting corporate taxes. No, his plan isn’t doing that. Harper has already done that. Harper’s 2007 budget reduced the corporate tax rate from 22 to 15% by 2012. Dion’s Green Shaft simply reduced that 15 to 14.
    Got that? It ISN’T DION who has reduced the corporate tax rate. The reduction is by Harper in the 2007 budget. Dion just added on another 1%..to reduce it from 15 to 14. Harper reduced it from 22 to 15.
    Harper also reduced the small business tax from 12% to 11 in 2008. And in addition, increased the lieftime capital gains exemption from 500,000 to 750,000…the first increase in nearly 20 years.
    So, Dion is lying.
    Then, Dion boasts that he’s reducing personal income taxes by 10%. No he isn’t. You determine your taxes out of ‘100 percent’. The current lowest rate is 15% (of 100 percent of your income). Dion is suggesting reducing that to 13.5%. He calls that a 10% reduction! (sure, if you are figuring it out of 15). But the average man would think..hey..that means my taxes go from 15 to 5%! Dion is misleading people. Deliberately.
    His Green Shaft lowers middle class rates from 22% to 21. He doesn’t call that a 1% cut. Nope. Not Dion. He tell us that’s a 5% cut. He lowers the 26% rate to 25..and tells us that’s not a 1% cut. It’s a 4% cut. He’s deliberately misleading us.
    Now, Dion is making more and more and wilder promises. Paul Martin did the same. But these politicos are all the same… and notice How Dion is covering himself. He says IF he gets into office, he’ll do an ‘external audit’..which will find a ‘deficit’ so that he’ll be unable to fulfil all his current Liberal promises…and blame it on the Conservatives.
