Vintage Propaganda Video
I am a fan of all Vintage Proganda posters but this a video poster for the want of a better word, well this video has had a number of hits.
Could this video be produced today, well it is really too late. These days the girls tend to be scarier than the boys especially the laddettes.

Rory Bremmner, this is a bit clever but i have questions on the effectiveness of many satire, If tit was really an effective medium, politicians whould be scared of it but In truth they play along with it.

Eminen Storms Out After Being Embarassed By Bruno Teabag Prank
Sacha Baron Cohen,Bruno Makes Eminem Real Angry on Utube
I have not been watching the latest work of Sacha Baron Chohen and did not not that he had a gay character called Bruno, I just saw the hilarious video of him picking on Eminem.
EmIn is Embrassed By Bruno
Eminem was picked on for a simple reason he his always picking on others in his hip hop songs, yes some are funny but they have a meaness about them. Michael Jackson and Chritiana agulerra have been victims of his vicious humour.
But there is a subtle reason why he was picked on by Sacha Baron Cohen who first made his name from the character Alli G who was supposed to play a white boy from the suburbs trying to be a Black gangster. Now a lot of people thought he was playing a black man but he says he was trying to take the piss out of White rappers.
The funny ting was that the entourage which was pushing him off Eminem were black, you see in a way Eminem cannot surround himself with a bunch of straight laced friends because he has to play a thug, he needs street credibilty.
It was funny and it is still funny, Eminem should have said it was fair game, he who lives by the sword die by the sword.
Ali G Playing Eminem
Is British satire better than American one, yes really because I could not see an American trying to pull a trick like this before.
Britain 1 USA 0 – let us keep the score.

RIP Freddie Hubbard.
I am sorry this is a bit late, but On December the 30th we lost a Master Mr Freddie Hubbard.
He was an old school trumpet player, you know trumpet players are more egotistical than any player on the band stand.
The man could reach very high notes and he mature very early but like many of his generation , the nineteen 60s were way hard on him and he was forced to go to fusion
I normally like my ballards a less busy but if you are going to play with such imagination you call play loads of notes.
It is so fefreshing to here that he incorporated the Lee Morgan half note into is armoury. It is good to see that in the eighties straight ahead jazz was sufficiently popular to have a superstar line up. Listen to the way he ends “You do not know what love is”.
This Fantasy In D is a triump, Listen to the quote, he gives in the end, ” anta Claus is coming to town”.
In a way you feel sorry for this generation of musician they sould not play good music all their lives and had to pioneer fusion.
I respect the man toomuch to listen to fusion era. I like to end this tribute with a Killer track ” Little Sunflower”
This is a master piece and assures his place on the mountain called jazz.
Listen to this solo aon morning, contrast it with Lee Morgan earlier solos.
Gadgets:

There was a time when women used to be interested in shoes but now they are into gadgets, what is going on? It is why men are intersed in the gadgets and gizmos but not women seem to be equally interstested.
One man explained that he was interested in gadgets simply because it is a form of conquest, men want to master and rule over the new gadget. But why the sudden intereest in females wanting to have all forms of modern gadgets? Men will spend hours on a new game, it gives them a rush to be the first person to buy a new game console. But these days when look closely at the next time there is a que of men sitting outside a cold store and you will see young women.

These days females are not into knitting, frankly they do not have the time but they can buy instant entertainment buy shoping a new gadget. Although at the momment manufactures seem to think that the way to attract females is to have a lap top in pink, inthe future we will see more designs aimed especially at women.
In a way we should not be surprised thaat females like gadgets, like laptops given that they have to use them at work. But they also love mp3 players, cd players, ipods and even traditionally female orientated like a microwave and other kitchen utensils.
