Tangent — Baggy Pants Were Not the Worst of It

With the surfacing of a possible clip of RA dancing, I did what I always do with music videos — got the blasted song stuck in my head. Here’s just one clip of the original video to that song:

I think the hair was the worst part about the late 80s/early 90s. How did Gloria and her musicians keep from fainting on stage with those masses hanging off their heads?

Maybe carrying all that hair around on stage kept Gloria in shape ’cause she looks great for her age. Supposedly her in 2009 at the age of 51:

Tangent: Shouldn’t We Be Talking About Earth Day?

NO! LOL!

Earth Day has become a political statement, and maybe it always was. Since this blog is not political, we will not be talking about such things as Earth Day. But it does raise a point about RA.

I’m so glad I don’t know his political views. Thank you, Richard Armitage, wherever you are, that you don’t throw your views out there for your fans to process. Since I would think about your views and then wonder where they came from besides deciding whether to embrace or reject them, it would be one more thing I’d have to hassle with. So thanks again for making my life a little less of a hassle. ;-)

Tangent — So the Brits Want to Compete

Well, come on in the water is fine!

JohnPorter_jumping_in_water_StrikeBack

In the “Strike Back” Premiere clip, Andrew Lincoln and Andy Harries, the producer, talked about Strike Back competing with America’s offerings. That’s great! I LOVE competition. It usually (not always but usually) gets the cream to rise to the top. Love it; can’t say enough good about it.

Given that, I can think of a really good way for the Brits to compete with us Yanks, and I’ll be glad to help them. If they could figure out how to get the shows to us more quickly, then I can assure I would do my part by watching many times in order to help their ad revenue or however it is they make their money. I’ll even tell lots of people about the shows! Could we just have access to Sky Player? As it is, I buy the stuff as soon as I can, and sometimes (I hate to admit it) I cheat and look at it before I can buy it. But I always buy these things I’ve looked at through other means than traditional broadcasts or dvds. It would be great to do it another way. Aren’t we in a global economy? What’s the hang up?!

I will probably rant more about this later.

I hope someone is listening.

Oh, I guess I can’t make this a complete tangent, since I want to comment on how RA has really put himself outside his comfort zone. Doesn’t he dislike going in the water? That’s really going in the water! Or is that a stuntman? On another note, how interesting that I know all of this useless crap.
