The Ace of Spades Effect: Blog Gets Paul Anka an Appearance on American Idol

Thanks for those who tipped me to this last night, and my apologies for those who were expecting a comment sooner.

Who knew that when I asked Paul Anka to guest-host the blog for a weekend it would set off a media-frenzy landing him a prominent spot on last night's penultimate American Idol 3?

Well, I knew that would happen. But who else did?

He was in good form, but I was disappointed that he didn't do any of his greatest hits, such as The Guys Get Shirts, Where's Joe?, Put Me Some Fuckin' Knowledge, and the heartbreaking ballad, Do You Like Your Jobs? (Well Do You Want to Keep Your Jobs?)

Something else was missing, too: explosive profanity.

Still, the man radiated integrity and "conscious," and there can be little doubt that when he moved, he sliced like a fuckin' hammer.

Ace, he did it last year too - I'm ashamed to admit that I watched it, but I guess having children who watch it is an excuse?

I still credit this blog for his resurgence.

And yeah, I'm embarassed to say that I watch it too. But I don't enjoy it.

Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lang remarked the other day, "I was gonna watch American Idol but I decided just to blow a guy instead."

And on that note, check out the look in Gore's eyes on the Drudge report. Im less creeped out by Spanky the Clown.

Big hammer-slicing deal.

Know what steams my couscous?

Articles like this:

"Arab-American Museum Opening Next Year"

There's Anka in the first fucking sentence. Where do they list Michael Ansara's boots? In the *last* sentence.

And they say "character actor Michael Ansara," like I'm not a household name or something. Rony Seikaly is an NBA star? C'mon. If they're gonna call this no-name a star, they should be calling me "international film legend."

Head's up people: My "Guns of the Magnificent Seven" has just been released on DVD. For those who may have missed it before, my sadistic anti-revolution militarist Colonel Diego steals the film.

Under present circumstances, his torturing of prisoners may offend some of you pussies. So be forwarned...though if you made it through that sex blog shit, you're probably all as perverted as Joe.

Speaking of Paul Anka, slicing, swearing, and being out of the lime-light: where the hell is Allah? Anyone know?

Lost Seventies Mystery Click: The Darkest Song Ever Recorded?
I think Professor of Rock (on YouTube) claimed this song was so upsetting that people used to pull over to the side of the road when it came on the radio. It's about a fatal plane crash, but obviously it suggests a fatal car crash too, which could wig out a driver.
It's like one of those nasty 70s anti-war body horror movies. Not for the squeamish. I'm not even going to post the lyrics because they're upsetting too.

I'm frankly surprised the title is 107 Days. I would have thought it would be:

Days Are Important: The Amount of Days Was a Number and That Number Was 100 Plus 7 Which is 107. 107. One Hundred and Seven. It's a Memoir and Memoirs are About Remembering Things Because Remembering Things is Good. Not Bad. Good. Memoir. A Memoir. Like a Reservoir But With Memory. We Have to Let it Flow. We Have to Let It Flow Into the Reservoir of Our Mind and Our Heart. Our Heart Which is the Beating Heart of Not Just Our Blood, But Our Progress. And Our People. And Democracy. The End.

Soft weak poop from the early 80s Mystery Click
I never liked this song, but it is memorable. In a weak, annoying way.
The kid's in shock up and down the block
The folks are home playing beat the clock
Down at the golden cup
They set the young ones up
Under the neon light
Selling day for night
It's alright
Nobody rides for free (nobody, nobody)
Nobody gets it like they want it to be (nobody, nobody)
Nobody hands you any guarantee (nobody, nobody)
Nobody
