Arrest rates for marijuana possession have been going down across the board since 2007. Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry interesting; but, stupid.

I saw a blurb on the news about Colorado and Washington needing more security firms to protect all the pot money. Maybe something for the mercenaries to do, other that security for despots.

Some of these are just ridiculous. Fallout Boy for KY, for example, or Wiz Khalifa for AR for crying out loud.

I've only heard of a handful of these, and heard even less.

That's funny. The only real concert I ever saw in Maine was REM. We just didn't get many bands coming up there, but REM was one of them.

California likes Bonobo! Time to move there.

orthodoc · 02-27-2014, 04:42 PM

Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros? Sounds like a Dave Barry band name.

And Matchbox Twenty. Really? I live in two states and these are the Distinctive Artists. I am not impressed.

footfootfoot · 02-27-2014, 05:03 PM

I like the song "home" by Edward sharp et al. Matchbox twenty is like twenty years ago

That clears things up.

Griff · 02-28-2014, 05:26 AM

That's just terrible. It'd make me leave the States but its prolly worse elsewhere...

glatt · 02-28-2014, 07:25 AM

The good thing is I don't have to listen to what everyone else is listening to.

JayZ? I couldn't even tell you a single song by the guy. Is he a rapper?

footfootfoot · 02-28-2014, 07:52 AM

I think he's one of the guys who is famous for being famous.

Undertoad · 02-28-2014, 08:14 AM

Guys, he's a rapper and one of the best-selling artists of all time.

Has 17 Grammys, 3 albums in Rolling Stone's 500 greatest albums of all time list, is worth $500 million dollars and is married to Beyoncé, who is the top female singer in the world. (It's like if Billy Joel had married Madonna in 1988, and instead of children they made records.)

You will have heard "Empire State of Mind", featuring Alicia Keys singing the verse that starts out "In New Yorrrrrk..."

Also, notably, he is NOT Kanye West.

Get off my lawn.

Ok, so maybe I'm a bit out of touch.

I realized about a month ago that while I knew exactly who Justin Beiber is, I couldn't name a single song that he did either. My son often mocks him by singing "baby, baby, baby, oh" in a silly way, so I knew those lyrics, but really didn't know the song. I asked about it and the kids pulled up the video, and I can honestly say I had never heard it before.

I know Beyonce. And could hum a couple of her songs to you. She's fun.
