Caught In the Wrong View

One of my favorite Vietnamese female singers, Hong Nhung, has an ageless voice, a face of a young girl, but an ass of an old woman.

Who Got Swag?

T.I.’s new joint “Swagger Like Us” featured Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Kanye West showing off their rapping skill. Not sure why Kanye is on because he has none and Auto-Tune makes him sound even worse. Auto -Tune also wrecked Lil Wayne’s verse. Jay’s verse is dope, but T.I. has the most swag up on this track.

Brotherly Swing

NPR profiles Nat Adderley:

Trumpeter, composer and bandleader Nat Adderley redefined the idea of “brotherly love” in a musical context. He devoted most of his creative energies to the band fronted by his saxophone-playing brother, Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, in which Nat played cornet, composed, managed the band’s money and generally looked after his older brother. Together, the brothers drove the Cannonball Adderley Quintet to great heights, in the process developing one of jazz’s greatest sibling success stories.

Is McCain another George W. Bush?

Commentary from Jack Cafferty:

It occurs to me that John McCain is as intellectually shallow as our current president. When asked what his Christian faith means to him, his answer was a one-liner. “It means I’m saved and forgiven.” Great scholars have wrestled with the meaning of faith for centuries. McCain then retold a story we’ve all heard a hundred times about a guard in Vietnam drawing a cross in the sand.

Cafferty also pointed out that McCain graduated 894th in a class of 899 at the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
