  1. Oh please!
    You know how many times descending chromatic half arpeggio runs (I don’t know what else to call it) have been used in music? Not exactly original.
    No taste of the pie for Spirit me thinks.

  2. From time to time some kind of magic happens.
    There was this guy walkin’ by and saw this other guy sitting down on a sidewalk playing his guitar.
    So the first guy thought to snap a video. And another guy happens by and then another guy happens by.
    Have a look

    Tonight, Kimmel invited them for a jam. With the original rappers.
    Don’t know nothing about this stuff.
    It was some kind of cool.
    Don’t know how to get link to Kimmel.

  3. If you’ve been having fun watching Ezra dismantle the “Gasland” movie…
    You’re going to LOVE what James O’Keefe at Project Veritas has up his sleeve starting tomorrow. Exposing Hollywood hypocrits willing to make anti-fracking movies despite believing that the proposed movie-maker is a Saudi who is only interested in keeping America from becoming oil independent.

    I’m not mad or anything I just don’t get it.

    Bet you capitalism makes opportunity and surendipity pay off for them!

  6. and while you’re reading about him, make note that this all started with a private conversation, illegally recorded, secretly recorded and then released to the public.
    So while you’re sitting around the garage some night talking with your neighbors, be sure to not say how you really feel about our overlords, lest a recording device is on and you’re about to be turned in for re-education.

    “Justin Trudeau’s abortion stance leaves Liberal ranks in confusion”
    “Rob Oliphant, a former Liberal MP and an ordained United Church minister who is seeking the Liberal nomination for the Toronto riding of Don Valley West, said at first it wasn’t clear to him that a candidate who has an “alternative” view on abortion could run.”
    “Oliphant said he was reassured by reading that Liberal MP Wayne Easter told a Charlottetown newspaper a person who has anti-abortion views could become a Liberal MP, but he or she would be expected to vote along party lines.”

  10. Do you think their lawyer will be able to demonstrate that Jimmy Page was constitutionally able to listen to 58 seconds of synth before stealing half a guitar lick? In 1970? When he was 26? With Pamela Des Barres in the next room?
    I don’t.

  13. That song is amazingly nothing like Stairway. But old blues tunes? Well . . .

  14. This is not the first time that Zeppelin has been accused of stealing other peoples music. Led Zeppelin 1 has the song Dazed and Confused which was originally written by Jake Homes.He was never credited.Legal action was taken against them in the 70’s and 80’s by Willie Dixon. I wouldn’t be surprised if this case is successful

  15. It’s interesting how he didn’t sue Zeppelin until he was dead. Perhaps he spent a lifetime BSing to family and friends how he saved the world by inventing rock and roll but knew in his heart it simply wasn’t true. If private boasting were the basis of a successful lawsuit, there would be millions of them.

  16. “Google Donald Sterling” Kate
    You don’t have to agree with what he said, but I will defend his absolute “Right” to say it & the “Right” of association.
    Racism is “HATE”, not Political Correctness. I am always reminded
    of Sid Caesar (comic) explanation of his FIRST observation of Anti-Semitism
    He was sitting at the Bar in Las Vegas beside a slot machine. The man playing the slot machine would put his money in and before pulling the handle yell “Dirty filthy Jew Bastard.. give me the Money”. This went on until the man had lost all his money, he then went postal kicking the machine “I will be back you Jew Bastard”. Sid’s response to the Anti-Semitism he had witnessed was to tell the he casino manager to get rid of that (Jew) Machine because it was attracting & encouraging hate.

  17. We call that a ‘cypher’ in the hip hop world.

    “The situation is so dire that in December 2013, Vice President Joe Biden brokered a deal to increase the number of FDA inspectors in China, to 27 from 13 now. Since then, China has been slow to issue visas to the inspectors.”
    “As of May 1, 2014, we have received in total more than 4,800 complaints of illness in pets that ate chicken, duck, or sweet potato jerky treats, nearly all of which are imported from China. The reports involve more than 5,600 dogs, 24 cats, three people, and include more than 1,000 canine deaths.”

  19. You may think that islam had something to do with the Bokos kidnapping of those Christians girls and their subsequent rape, torture, and murders.
    But you are wrong.
    Gerald Caplan, longtime G&M columnist, NDP voice, and frequent CBC talking head, tells it like it is.
    ” Boko Haram is one notorious manifestation of the destiny that Nigerians — with the indispensable aid of Big Oil and its friends — have carved out for themselves.”

    Now, I must go release this one from the filter.
