Link of the Day: Jay-Z and Elvis

Elvis and Jay-Z

Read the article and attempt not to throw up. I am not discrediting Jay-Z who has marketed himself fantastically in today’s musical cesspool but come on. This is like Barry Bonds breaking Hank Aaron’s home run record. Bonds was on steroids and Jay-Z is producing in a musically inept world. I apologize for my clear anger but I just do not see how this can be possible. Yet, I guess records are records and I can safely presume that fifty years from now the king of rock will still be in the forefront of people’s minds.

According the the article, “Meanwhile, Madonna has just notched up her 40th number one single in the US dance charts with Celebration.” Okay, you are now permitted to throw up. I just did.

Lyric #3

17 Sep

Hey everyone,

I hope everything is going well. Let’s see how you fair with today’s lyric.

“And it turns out Mona Lisa, well she ain’t ugly/ yeah but she can’t get much loving from the war/and if some stranger tries to take you from me/ well first I’d rescue you and then I’d punch him in the jaw”

Fun Fact/hint: The album in which this song appeared was actually recorded in the European country that lent it’s name to the album’s and song’s titles.

In Spanish, one could say that the time setting of this song is “por la mañana.”

Answer: Paris in the Morning, by Joe Purdy
