Big Leather Couch

Yesterday, I was not trying to knock the 'stars' who support various causes. I guess I should have been more specific and asked where the country music stars are to support Nashville. I do not expect Hollywood to come out in force for a little Southern city...but those whose lives have benefited from playing in the Grand Old Opry and who record in this city should be out trying to assist those in need and I have not heard anything about it.

Now maybe I am missing it, and if that is the case, I apologize for the slap.

But I am peeved about the news pretty much ignoring this story.

Until I get the other sites to a point where I feel comfortable posting on them with new things, we will continue to give you some music news here...

AC/DC continue to dominate charts worldwide with AC/DC Iron Man 2, the official soundtrack to this summer’s blockbuster movie. Released globally on April 19, AC/DC Iron Man 2, debuted at #1 in fourteen countries including United Kingdom , Germany , Austria , Ireland , Switzerland , Belgium , New Zealand , Greece , Sweden , Hong Kong , Singapore and Japan . AC/DC Iron Man 2 also score top ten debuts in twenty six countries worldwide, including Canada (#2), Denmark (#3), Argentina (#3), Australia (#4), U.S. (#4), Spain (#4), Italy (#4), Norway (#4), Netherlands (#4), Spain (#4), Hungary (#4), France (#5), Finland (#5), Poland (#5), Mexico (#5), Thailand (#7), and Portugal (#9).

Man, who would have thunk it that AC/DC would be so popular and this album are all re-releases!

Last night I went back to Beale to see Delta Highway again. On Friday I get to take Nancy to see them.

last night I took my camera with me and will share some of those shots tomorrow or Monday.

I also have a ton of shots from our last Zoo visit a few weeks ago, that i will share next week...YES, MIMI from "Mimi Writes", they will include some of the monkeys!

I have to select which shots I am submitting to the Zoo for their 2011 calendar.

My iPhoto is so unorganized it makes me crazy, but that is way down the list on my 'things to do' list. Actually mt things to do list would keep me busy for at least a year...IF I were retired with my days totally free! LOL

My Yankees are having a great start to their season...starting staff is 14-1 right now...wish my three fantasy teams were even half that good!

See y'all tomorrow...

So, I am confused here. A capital of one of our fifty states lies submerged today and has for the last few days and the national news has only made minor mentions.

Is this a backlash to what happened with new Orleans five years ago? Was it that there has been almost no looting in the city, so it is not deemed newsworthy?

Nashville, TN is suffering today and will be for weeks if not months to come. I have heard it described as a 500-year flood. Normally you hear about the 100-year flood, but this is a disaster.

The Opryland Hotel (above) is closed as the entire first floor is under water...The entire playing surface of LP Field where the Tennessee Titan's play football is under water. A good portion of 2nd Avenue where all the clubs are in Nashville is under water.

But try and find out some news on the TV and you would think all is right in the world.

Where are the stars coming out to ask for help? OH wait, this is here in the US, so we don't have to worry about it. If it were some Third World country, we would have already had three concerts and a telethon.

Sometimes I just do not get it...sorry I don't.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Yeardley Love who was brutally murdered on Monday. It looks like an open and shut case, but one never knows...

Running on to a playing field in the middle of a sporting event is one of the dumbest things you can do.

After the game in Philadelphia on Monday, some may think twice in the future.

The teen who ran on the field and alluded security guards for a few minutes was taken down by a taser used by a Philadelphia Police officer.

Now, I began by saying running on the field is dumb. Using a stun gun on someone who does this is completely stupid.

Look folks, there is no where for the clown to go. Wherever he decides to exit the field, a security officer can be right there to catch him.

This is the equivalent of having a 100mph chase on the freeway because someone ran a red light. Police have to think.

Should the officer be reprimanded? NO. BUT, there has to be a rule put in place that says if a fan runs on the field send two people out to herd the idjit to a spot where he can be apprehended and given his citation...no stun guns necessary.
