Even if you don’t click over to read the story, you’ve got all you need in that headline.
Farce.

Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid

What’s more pleasurable than stringing up a politician? Too bad the public was unprepared and left the tomatoes at home.
Olympic Fail — Right Hand Still Hasn't Met Left Hand
U.S. viewers are forced to wait until 8 PM to view Olympic games that ended 9 hours earlier. Meanwhile, the web knows no time delay, and results are available instantly. NBC television is stuck in the 1980’s, as if no one gets any current information but from them. People are getting kicked off of Twitter for criticizing the network. And now…
…parents can’t even watch their athlete sons and daughters at the venue.
London had years to prepare for this. Why have they fumbled?
NBC Television must have plenty of twenty and thirty something’s employed by the company. Didn’t anyone ask them about the wisdom of sequestering live game action? Sure, NBC has an iPad app for folks who want to watch in real time, but have you seen the app ratings? It barely garners one star in the app store. Users hate it. Not because you have to have a cable subscription to MSNBC or CNBC through your local provider. They hate it because it just plain sucks.
Oh well. Maybe Brazil will get it right.
Good Morning America Beats TODAY Show, and…
They had to take a picture.
Why didn’t they put Stephanopoulos on a box or something? I mean really. Look at him next to Robin Roberts for goodness sake! She’s like a foot and a half taller than him. Where’s a phone book when you need it?
Awkward.
Rippin’ Off Tom Petty
I hate stories like this. Yes, they are rich rock stars and they can afford to buy any instrument. Yes, most instrument makers are willing to give away equipment just to get the rock star to play it or get their picture taken with it. But what most people may not know is that most of the real artists out there, the ones that have paid their dues and have been around awhile, own one guitar, one bass, one drum kit, an amp, or even a mic that they wouldn’t give up for anything in the world. They record masterpiece rock songs with it. They tour with it. That one instrument is what makes their “sound”.
And then some idiot decides it’s a good idea to bust in and steal it.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were rehearsing for an upcoming tour, and some low life broke into a sound stage and stole 5 guitars. Not just any guitars either.
Last Thursday, someone got into the studio in Culver City and made off with two of Mr. Petty’s prized instruments – a 1967 12-string Rickenbacker electric and a 1965 Gibson electric. Also missing were three other rare guitars belonging to the bassist Ron Blair, the rhythm guitarist Scott Thurston and the lead guitarist Mike Campbell.
To the guy who is sitting in his apartment right now strumming away on the guitar that helped Tom write “Breakdown” and “American Girl”. Watch your back.
A reward is offered for the safe return of the gear.
Update: The guitars are recovered!
