Michael's Musings

I Was Justified When I Was Five
Michael Shinafelt

"So you say it's not okay to be gay, well, I think you're just evil

You're just some racist who can't tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

F#ck you (F#ck you), f#ck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So, please don't stay in touch" - F#ck You, Lily Allen 

Tonight's the night...American Horror Story Season 13 premieres with all the OG's returning. Can't wait to see what they do with it!

Pro Tip: Always wave at people who missed the train, the more you know

Someone just called me a c#nt. I needed that, I thought I lost my spark

Tis my favorite season Spooky Season...Indeed

Aren't you glad Taylor Swift decided to be a pop star and not the Zodiac Killer with her little riddles? Discuss...

Be art, confuse people. You are meant to be explored, not understood

Finally caught Sofia Coppola's Marie Antionette with Kirsten Dunst on Netflix...Loved It!

Behavior is not character. You can change how you speak, the way you move, they way you dress; that doesn't mean that's who you are, that's all

Woman Crush of the Week - Jessica Lange, the Queen of American Horror Story is back to reclaim her throne!

Mike Clifford drops the video for his cover of Herman's Hermits "There's A Kind Of Hush" tomorrow on YouTube

When your computer goes down on you, think about it, but not too much

Here's a compromise: Print out the unredacted Epstein Files and tape them to the Kennedy Center. Boom! His name will be all over the place

Turned Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story off on Netflix after 3 episodes. That's all you need to know.

In case you haven't gotten the memo, I'm back in full B!tch mode, buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride!!!

I'll take you for a ride here:

Lend Me Your Ears...

Kyle MacLachlan
as 
Jeffrey Beaumont "Blue Velvet"

"Do your ears hang low

Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie 'em in knot
Can you tie 'em in a bow?
Can you throw 'em o'er your shoulder
Like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?" - Do Your Ears Hang Low

Jeffrey Beaumont found an ear in David Lynch's Blue Velvet. I wonder what you might come across today?

Happy Monday, the adventure begins!

Roy Orbison Forever

Roy Orbison - sexy, cool, unique. True about his music, true about his whole life. Roy Orbison stood out, and this is his story. 

With hits like "Oh, Pretty Woman" and many others, many rock artists think he's the greatest rock singer of all time. This music documentary celebrates the five-time Grammy-winning Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, and charts Orbison's career and relationships with other musicians through interviews and archive performances, some never seen before in America. 

From being discovered in Texas by Johnny Cash, to the sell-out international tour with newcomers The Beatles as a support band, through his collaboration with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne as The Traveling Wilburys at The End of the Line, the Orbison legacy endures and thrives. This documentary features all of the major music, interviews collected for the film over years, and extraordinary insight from major musicians into what made his music the cultural driving force it remains. 

The story starts at the very beginning, with his first time in a Memphis recording studio, and it takes us inside his last studio with the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys. No Roy Orbison collection is complete without this stunning film. 

SONGS INCLUDE: 

Oh, Pretty Woman 

It's Over 

Blue Bayou 

In Dreams 

Crying 

Dream Baby

Ooby Dooby 

Only the Lonely 

You Got It 

Handle With Care 

The End of the Line 

GUESTS INCLUDE: Johnny Cash, Barbara Orbison, Olivia Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Joe Walsh, David Lynch, Bernie Taupin, Gerry Marsden, Elvis Costello, Robin Gibb, Bono, Bill Wyman, and more.

Hear The Insect Prayer

Sexmusic For Antpeople
Joan Collins & Friend

"Music for a future age

Don't be square be there
All good clean fun
Whatever that means

Antmusic for sexpeople
Sexmusic for antpeople
Get off your knees
And hear the insect prayer" - Don't Be Square, Be There, Adam and the Ants

Joan Collins knows good clean fun, whatever that means. Here she is between takes on the set of the 1977 movie Empire of the Ants making out with one of her co-stars...

The insect prayer indeed....

A Little Of The Old In-N-Out

Michael B Jordan & Oscar

It's National Cheeseburger Day and ironically I am going to imbibe in one after I screen a new music video by an artist I do PR for later. 

Thus I thought it fitting it be celebrated with my favorite burger in Southern CA, In-N-Out!

Behold Michael B Joran post his Oscar win for Best Actor in Sinners partaking one of their delicious burgers. 

Here's a little history. It’s tradition for actors to go to In-N-Out after the Oscars. Jamie Lee Curtis did it. Ang Lee did it. Vanity Fair actually serves In-N-Out at their Oscars party. Just to put the post Oscar meal in context.

Hey you don't have to win an Oscar to get cheesy today.

Go out and have a cheeseburger your way.

Yummy!!!
