Live: If I had the time and money, y’ll know where I would be tonight? At the Beacon Theatre screaming for Fifth Harmony, the second year third place X Factor harmony band who are like One Direction if One Direction sang pop r&b, were female and there were five em so, yeah, not really BUT look at it this way: they have two good songs, the hit “Worth It” plus the current single “I’m In Love With a Monster”
Political Correctness: With Tyler the Creator getting banned from the UK today, here are two thoughts. The thing about PC is when it goes to extreme, people think it is irrational, and use it as an excuse to be Donald Trump and the second is art beats political correctness always: Tyler was better when he called people fags, and I mean a LOT better than when he didn’t.

Death: The on live television murder of a reporter and her cameraman on WDBJ-TV has the world’s attention, and Alison Parker’s father absolute got it right when he claimed he wanted action and an end to giving lunatics weapons. Meanwhile, the increasingly repulsive Donald Trump, said of the murderer: “In the old days, they had mental institutions for people like this because he was really, definitely borderline and definitely would have been and should have been institutionalized. At some point, somebody should have seen that. I mean the people close to him should have seen it. I guarantee you there are a couple of people that knew this man that did the killing yesterday that probably said, ‘Wow he’s really got problems. I mean he really should be institutionalized.’” Actually, there were no warning signs at all. But don’t let facts come between us, right? ““This isn’t a gun problem — this is a mental problem.”
