Ok, this story is mildly amusing. I didn't even know that "they" made candy that tasted like pot, but it doesn't surprise me. It doesn't surprise me that someone wants to ban its sale, at least to minors. What does surprise me is the name of the state senator who introduced the bill - Doug Stoner! Too funny! I think if I were him, I would work a deal with another legislator, "You intro my bill, and I'll intro yours." I can't believe he was even taken seriously enough to get this bill passed.
Idol was a mess last night for Rock & Roll Hall o' Fame night. In the first round, the mics were turned up too loud, and you couldn't hear the music or background singers on any of the selections, until, guess who? David Archuleta! Far be it from me to promote any conspiracy theories, but come on... Anyway, Cook started the night with Hungry Like the Wolf. Just didn't do it for me. Then came Syesha with her Tina Turner impression on Proud Mary. Vocals were pretty good, and she looked good, but just seemed like she was trying to hard to be Tina. And she's not. Jason followed with I Shot the Sheriff. This should have been a gimme, but it was all over the place. I don't know how different it would have been if we could have heard the background singers, but it just didn't seem right. Archuleta followed with probably the best performance of the night (shocker) with Stand By Me. I thought he would hyperventilate while Ryan was giving out the #s. Second round started with Cook singing Baba O'Riley. Shocker, I thought it was just OK, judges loved it. Syesha's 2nd was A Change is Gonna Come. Again, technically good, but not a great emotional connect with the audience, despite the total breakdown after Paula's critique. Jason missed the boat and a whole line of the lyrics with Mr. Tambourine Man. I think he's just gotten to the point in the competition where he's out of his league, and he can't keep up. Archuleta finished the night with Love Me Tender. It was fine, but not as good as his 1st. My prediction? I'm going for the upset. Despite Jason practically standing up and begging to be sent home (and he should be after last night), I'm guessing Syesha will go home tonight.
Finally, Iron Man ROCKS!! It kicks ass! Great story, great actors (of the 4 main parts - 3 Oscar nominees and 1 winner), great f/x! I could go on for pages about how cool it is, and how many easter eggs are in there for the fanboys, yet it is perfectly accessible for casual viewers etc etc etc. Suffice it to say the movie is great. Go out and see it!
