If you are in a lane on the highway and every car is passing you by and the ones behind you are changing lanes on the right and left of you to get by ... move to the right! It is that simple, you are going too slow! If you drive slow, that is fine but don't be in the the far left lane or in the middle ... go to the right. I think it is interesting when you are on the interstate highways in the middle of no where, you know to get in the right lane if you are slower while the faster cars go by on the left. But for some reason when you add another lane or you don't have desert or fields all around you ... you forget that simple courtesy rule. Simply amazing.Weekly Update:
Semi-busy week this past one ... attended various events and almost all of them were last minute so quiet tired to say the least. To say the least ... or to say the more? I don't know. The first event was a charity fundraiser that featured a mini concert with Pat Benatar which was pretty awesome. She sang a lot of key hits from the 80's which was great. At the event itself I met:
*Yvette Nicole Brown- She is on the show "Community" and extremely nice.
Then on Wednesday I went to this little celebrity karaoke event in Hollywood and ... well ... the level of "celebrity" was ... let me put it this way, you can hear everyone around the carpet ask, "who is that?" because no one knew. The only one of some name was:
*Claudia Wells- Only real claim to fame was being the girlfriend in the first "Back to the Future" movie and she was nice.
At the movies:
No surprise here as the movie summer officially kicked off this past weekend as Iron Man 2 took the crown with a nice opening of 133.6 million. This film is sure to have the legs to a very successful summer. A big drop down to #2 is "A Nightmare on Elm Street" with 9.2 mil which is a BIG 72% decline from last weekend. Well above the normal drops for any film. Down to #3 is "How to Train Your Dragon" with 6.8 mil and just breaking the 200 mil cume mark. In at #4 is "Date Night" with another 5.3 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is "The Back-Up Plan" with 4.3 mil and probably the last time we see this film on the books.
Quote of the week:
"Music is essentially useless, as life is." - George Santayana
Other News:The mic is silent this Sunday as legendary singer Lena Horne passed away at the New York Presbyterian Hospital. Horne had a striking beauty and magnetic sex appeal which her voice overshadowed. She was one of the first black performers to sing with the white band at the Copacabana nightclub in the 1940's. She always tried to fight the racial barrier though music and movies but often found herself performing with all-black casts in movies. Her signature piece came in 1943 in the 20th Century Fox role of Selina Rogers in "Stormy Weather" where she sang the title song. Horne was once "I wouldn't trade my life for anything because being black made me understand." Horne was 92.
