The History of Pop Music… in 4 chords

This one made me LOL at points.

Watch this guy simply play the same 4 chords over and over and over… (while his roommate plays video games in the background!) and sing (with a pretty good voice) the lyrics to dozens of popular songs from the last 4 decades.  Seems like they’re all based on 4 chords!

OK, well… some of them are a bit of a stretch, and he never seems to address the first song that popped into my head: Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing, but it’s still an entertaining revue.

Super Five?

Just one week after the release of his "Super Five" clothing line, Donnie Mac proved that his ability to stay healthy is anything but.  He’s out for the year, and my guess is he’ll miss 4 games of next season as well.

Not that it matters much…

This team was headed for 9-7, and hoping to sneak in the NFC wild card.  Now, it looks like they may win 2 from here on out, and will finish 7-9.  No matter who the backup is.  Plenty of time to lick their wounds.

How they let a 2-7 team, with the worst/next-to-worst ranked defense in the league, with a rookie quarterback, who finishes 8/23 with just over 100 yards passing, completely humiliate them is beyond me.  Inept play calling, rubber-band tackling, look-before-you-have-the-ball receiving, and Buddy-Ryan-era penalty hemorrhaging… other than that, they played a great game!

At least we’ll all have more free time on Sundays to spend with our family.

The man behind the mustache

Here’s a rare clip of the man behind Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen, in a Daily Show interview from a few years back.  He discusses his primary character, Ali G, a dim-witted rapper who sought to sabotage American politicos and journalists — most of whom fell right into his ruse, and played right along (or simply ignored) his extreme stupidity.
