The Talkin’ Headline Blues #89
Well, I haven’t done a Talkin’ Headline like this in a long time.
Made me giggle.
This is how a Talkin’ Blues SHOULD SOUND. That’s something you’ll hear someone say who’s really serious about Folk Music. Someone who knows ALL THE RULES. Someone who’s a lot better at musical instrumentation than I am.
At various points in time I have been that someone.
At this point in time, I’m not. I’m just enjoying myself. I’ll take note of that. Things go up and things go down. That’s how it is.
These are the headlines for this week, though. No more news, okay CNN.com? Please?! I can’t take in any more except for this! I mean it! Please don’t make me! My brain is not that big….

The Talkin’ Headline Blues #88
Here you have the CNN.com headlines from last week. How many of them do you remember? How many of them are we all still talking about? White youth running wild? Yes. The Catholic Pope saying it ain’t so bad to be gay? No.
Well, okay. Baseball suspensions are VERY IMPORTANT.

The Talkin’ Headline Blues #87
Well, I tried a new melody for this version. It’s different. It’s borderline talkin’ blues, I’d say. Not sure on which side. But I think it adds to the hilarious headlines that people working for CNN.com actually wrote.
Or maybe robots write those?
But then who tells the robots what to write? And if no one tells them, how do they know what our events are? How is it that they’re so aware of our needs and desires that they know exactly what will evoke an emotion in us? Hmm….
I, for one, am getting on the side of these robots.

Remember these? Where I grab headlines from CNN.com and make them into a talkin’ blues song?
Haven’t done one since…last October!? So, I figured it’s time to start them up again. Here’s why:
I can only pay attention to the news and events of the day, week, or month like this:
- Pick one small segment of news…like SPORTS or CELEBRITIES or POLITICS and really read up on everything to do with that topic each and every day. Lately, I’ve decided that SPORTS is the most entertaining to me and I read articles at this place.
- Attempt to take in ALL the news and only really take in the brief summaries heard or headlines read. This gets me in situations where I’ll be at a party or talking to someone and I’ll try to follow along with a current event conversation and I’ll just be lost. Also, I think this means I’m getting old.
- Don’t listen to ANY news at all. This is similar to number 2, and a little more relaxing, in a way, but I start to lose a grip on reality.
How do you listen to the news? Any other ways that you can suggest to me?
Maybe you can start listening to the news as a song, huh? I’ll keep on doing these if you keep on listening (and probably I’ll keep doing them even if you don’t, because…I don’t know who you are and because, like I said last night in my post about songwriting, the more you do it, the easier it gets and the more songs you get).
