The Talkin’ Headline Blues #100

The Talkin' Headline Blues #100

November 4, 2010, right through to November 4, 2013. That sure is a whole lot of headlines. It’s kind of weird that I wrote them both on the same date, the first one and the one-hundreth one.

You can read about why I started doing those on my first post. And you can listen to all the Talkin’ Headlines from that first week here, here, here, and here. (And here’s all of those first five squashed together.)

I only played the Talkin’ Headline tune out at a live show once back in February of 2011. It was this one. I also played one on a live radio show, which was a pretty good time. Listen to the original, non-radio version, here.

So, this tune has had a little small about of success, I’d say. But I’m not quite done with it. I plan to do a thousand of these. So keep listening for the next 19 or so years and see if I make it to number 1,000, okay?

I wonder how the news will change. Probably just a lot more flying car crashes and Justin Bieber obituaries.

“Here’s to old D. H. Lawrence.”

My Brother will know what that means. He showed me that movie for the first time. Thanks Brother.

Sorry for the silliness. The news was just too depressing today. I was already so low down. I didn’t need to read all that.

Luckily I had synthetic minerals to attach to my terrible brain chemicals. Not everyone is so lucky.

Anyway, here’s to the first of the day. NEECK NEECK NEECK NEECK.

There’s a lot going on in the news these days, no? I just read today, there’s this young woman whose recorded album of music went STRAIGHT TO NUMBER ONE. WOW! I better check that out, seeing as how I also record music.

And, I really like how there’s all this OUTRAGE all of a sudden about the Washington Professional Footballers team name the “Redskins.” I know there’s always been some degree of angst toward that team name, but it really RAMPED UP this Summer. And now, everyone seems to be calling for a change. Just in time for Thanksgiving, right? Hopefully the Redskins will change their name on that Thursday that we all sit down to grease our throats with turkey gullet in the name of…um…peace and harmony and prosperity?

I hope they change their team name to this.
