Reading Finally

I started this earlier in the week and never got back to it. I am so not paying attention to my blogging. I totally forgot what I was going to write about.

I read 'Blaze' last week. This is a book written by Stephen King (as Richard Backman). Apparently this was written back in 1973 and he didn't think it was good enough. Well, it was definitely good enough. I couldn't put it down. It definitely made me remember why I loved reading King for so many years. The last couple of books have left something to be desired, but other than me wanting the book to never end I was quite happy (well, I did cry while reading, but that's besides the point).

I just finished watching the Dixie Chicks' documentary 'Shut Up & Sing'. I highly recommend it. Of course, it really reminded my of watching the footage when John Lennon made the comment that The Beatles were bigger than Jesus. People need to calm down and let people speak. I completely agree with Natalie's right to say what she said (and I agree with the sentiment as I definitely am not a fan of Bush). It's sort of funny (in a not really sort of way) that the southern states are always the ones boycotting the bands and throwing out their music. Ah stupidity. What I don't get is that Green Day wrote an entire album about what an ass the president is and spoke about it at each of their concerts. Yet nothing was ever said about that. The Dixie Chicks certainly weren't the only band / artist to say something publicly against the president. I am glad that they found a different fan base (and happy to hear in the movie that Toronto kicked ass at buying concert tickets). I know I love the album that came out of the whole thing.
