Law and Order Themes- Anyone ever notice every year they are a little different!

I have been wanting to mention this for some time. As a longtime Law and Order fan, I have noticed that each new season- the theme for each of the 3 L & O program- has a somewhat different arrangement each year. The original, SVU, and CI all have the same basic theme- but each year the arrangement changes. Sometimes it might just a louder beat, or more horns- but once again listening to the L & O criminal intent arrangement for the new season- the opening is the same Theme but with a subtle change in the arrangement.  Any other L & O fan notice this over the years???

RIP Alex Chilton- The Boxtops and Big Star - You Will Be Missed - The Letter Video

Days before Alex Chilton was to reunite with Big Star at SXSW, he died in New Orleans at the age of 50. That voice.....how I loved The Letter! -----

Many good memories of Redbone. Hadn't seen Lolly in decades, but we had fun in the mid-seventies.
He will be missed!!!

Don't Sing Sinatra Karaoke in the Phillipines- The "My Way Killings"

Found this article about the singing of "My Way" by Frank Sinatra can be harmful to your health in the Phillipines. In fact, many karaoke bar owners have removed the song from their libraries. Most of the times- the violence occurred after the singer sang out of tune and was jeered.

Pete Townshend of the Who - Superbowl Halftime Controversy!

It looks like Pete Townshend's past has caught up with him again. Since the NFL has booked THE WHO for the halftime show, child prevention groups are up at arms that a registered sex offender is being allowed in the country, let alone being asked to play during the Superbowl halftime show. Remember the NFL is supposed to be "family friendly"  Watching this narrative unfold over the next month should prove beneficial for the media.

Choir Director Mary Segall suspended for taking HS Group to Hooter's For Lunch!

Phoenix's Paradise Valley School district believes that there were other Phoenix locations which could have accomodated the large group of 40 students other than Hooters!! Mary Segall, suspended for this action, will be retiring this January, so this may not be that big of a deal. But is this overreaction from the School District?
