Don Henley Must Die

The Recording Artists Coalition is praising the recent Grokster Supreme Court decision. I figured a little Mojo was in order.

Man, I miss Mojo.


Don Henley Must Die
Mojo Nixon

This is the sound of my brain
Then I said -This is the sound of my brain on Don Henley
Then I said -One two three four

He’s a tortured artist
Used to be in the Eagles
Now he whines like a wounded beagle

Poet of despair
Puffed up with hot air
He’s serious, pretentious and I just don’t care

Don Henley must die
Don’t let him get back together
With Glenn Frey, Don Henley must die

Cut on the TV
And what did I see
This bloated hairy thing winnin’ a grammy
Huah

Best rock vocalist
Compared to what
Bunch of pseudo-serious Kraft angst-a-matic
Satanic plot

Don Henley Must die
Put a sharp stick in his eye, don henley must die
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Oh

Quit playin’ that crap
Youíre out of the band

I’m only kidding, can’t you tell?
I love his sensitve music
Idiot poetry swell

You and your kind
Are killin’ rock and roll
It’s not because youíre o-l-d
–Cause you ain’t
Got no soul

Don’t be afraid of fun
Loosen up your ponytail
Be wild, young
Free and-a
Get your head
Outta your tail

Don Henley
Must die
Donít let him get back together
With Glenn Frey

Don Henley
Must die
Put him in the electric chair
Watch him fry, Don Henley must die

Don Henley must die
Ah ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

No Eagles reunion
The same goes for you too Sting
Ah
Oh

Microsoft is Old And Busted. New Hotness: Apple, Google

I was thinking that I haven’t heard much noise coming from Microsoft. Seems like the only headlines they’re getting lately are of security vulnerabilities in their software. Google and Apple seem to have a lock on creativity lately. They’re the ones pushing boundaries today.

It actually saddens me to think of Microsoft as old and busted. What happened to the company I once loved to hate? Now they just don’t seem to matter, even if they’re still making money hand over fist. Its not like they ever did much “innovation,” but what little they have done has been overshadowed by others.

If you had any doubts that America has the best government money can buy, the recent Supreme Court decisions should convince you. First, the Court rules that governments can take property from one private owner and sell it to another private owner. Then yesterday, the court rules that peer to peer services are guilty of infringement, even if they themselves aren’t doing the infringing. Using that logic, why aren’t gun manufacturers liable for murder?

In another case, the Court ruled broadband monopolies don’t need competition. Even though most experts agree that America has lost its edge in broadband innovation, the big cable companies praised this decision as “allowing them to continue to innovate.”

Innovate, my butt. What kind of “innovation” has occured in broadband service since its inception? The entertainment industry’s paranoid fear of piracy has kept a lock on upstream bandwidth that broadband customers can have. This has severely hampered innovative new technologies – especially multimedia-rich ones – which depend on such bandwidth to work.

These decisions prove that money talks, and the Supreme Court loves to hear it.
