is disco also dead?

"The clock indicates the moment, but what does eternity indicate?" ~Walt Whitman

Supposedly, Donna Summer was the queen of disco. Who told me that? A cursory glance at the search results for "disco dies", with the court jester (?) of disco, Robin Gibb, now dead what does this mean for the "kingdom of disco" on the whole? I would suspect that it's finally died. It's not like I don't enjoy a good disco jam from time to time and it's not like I don't get up out of my chair every once in a while when I hear "Stayin' Alive" on the old radio. I'm just too cool, is all.

Robin Gibb was apparently married to some type of witch or enchantress that used (did?) "spider medicine" to cure the Bee Gee's ailment, whatever the hell that means. There's a beautiful metaphor not doing much to describe what this witchcraft really is, located here. I was also able to find some hogwash including veiled hints and innuendos about getting high over here on this "SpiderWoman's" website. Yet, still, no clear indications as to what "medicine" may have been used on someone treated by "spider medicine". As far as I can tell it'd be hope, duct tape, and drugs. That's not the worst way to head out so thumbs up back at you, Mr. Gibb. Also, the other images I could find weren't as good, unless you like magically coiffed hair.

"diana ross is dead"

"Did you hear the news?" (in the background "Hot Stuff" can be heard behind the newscaster clearly detailing a piece about Donna Summer) "Diana Ross is dead"

Apparently that's not the only person to have this issue:

In fact there is not really a story, Donna Summer is dead. It's kind of sad. I don't know why it's so somber here lately, normally it's an upbeat corner of the internetz. This is all for now.

carroll shelby died, lil boosie not a murderer, and other new stuff this week

"I would like that to be known; these facts are in the summary which I think is a very good one." ~John Sherman Cooper

 In the news today: Carroll Shelby recently died. He, as in yes that's a boy's name, he was 89 years old. That was quite an accomplishment itself but he also designed the famous Shelby Mustang. That link opens a window with pictures of that sweet looking car. 

Also in the news, Lil Boosie was acquitted of murder. I had no idea he was charged with the offense or what it is that he raps about, but he's a free man now apparently. Oh, wait, no he's not. He's actually in prison still but on separate charges. They are drug related charges and my uninformed opinion of the situation is that the drug charges are trumped up too. I only say that because I personally believe all drugs should be legal and the market will regulate itself. Capitalist style.
