Since they are all arthropods if you would eat a shrimp or a prawn you should not turn your nose up at a cricket.
Peter, have you ever considered auditioning for Fear Factor?

Dude, I'm not actually peeved. I just think some of your criticisms were contextually invalid. Or something.

Yodelling should be regarded as a crime against humanity ;-)
Y'all! I am indignant!
(I wish I could yodel.)

it just wasn't quite as Rock 'n' Roll as say Neil Young, Iggy Pop, John Cale
But... that's a whole different generation of musicians. She comes from a totally different context - she's a southerner from Oklahoma in her seventies, who grew up steeped in country music, singing rockabilly. It's a different kind of badassery altogether. I think you make an unfair comparison by saying she isn't 'as rock'n'roll': she's probably one of the *purest* expressions of rock'n'roll there is. I think her early stuff still sounds really raw and primal (and, to bring it back to the feminist part of the thread, yay for the ladies rocking out!).

OK, Jack, I am going to note several things in Wanda's defence:
1. She dated Elvis Presley!!! If I dated Elvis I would mention it every other sentence. I would be like Robbie Krieger talking about Jim Morrison. It's fucking ELVIS, man.
2. People who don't like yodelling are... wrong. ;)
3. I don't believe in finding Jesus myself, but hey, it's her show. Plus she chose one of the best songs ever to illustrate the point: Hank Williams' 'I Saw the Light'. I dig a whole lot of religious music even if I don't go along with the message.
(PS Also, she reminded me of my husband's late and much-missed Texan grandmother, so I'll forgive a lot of Branson-ism.)

Off to see Wanda Jackson.
Who was adorable! (I was reminded a little of the Ray Davies Storytellers-type show I saw some years ago.)

That Ann-Margret clip has crashed two of my browsers for some reason, and goddammit, I can tell just by looking at the description that it was basically made for me! WARGGHH!! Play, damn you!
Just so this post isn't solely complaining-about-my-incompetence, here is a thing I like: fake advertising for the iPod, laptops, mobile phones, and gaming consoles (if they existed in 1977).

it's a rather older joke - a known associate of this fine blog was making it about the Socceroos just last week.
I had never heard it before and actually chortled out loud.
(Righto, back to threadlurking. I know absolutely nothing about this sport and so I'm just vicariously basking in the glow of everyone else's wellbeing. Hooray for things! And stuff!)

If you look at Joss's cannon
I'm sure plenty of people want to look at Joss's cannon, but he's married. Bomp-bomp!
(I can't believe it took over four hours for someone to make a penis joke about that typo. Are we slipping?)

I'm back. With a resounding 'what the... whut?' And some 'huh?' There was also a bit of 'seriously? Are you nuts?' and a passable amount of 'GRAR'. The paragraph about interracial relationships was particularly noxious.
