Happy Birthday to the one and only Carole King!


My older sister had the 'Tapestry' album, learned there was great music out there that wasn't Black Sabbath or symphonies.

Carole King (born February 9, 1942) is an American composer and singer-songwriter.[2]

King's career began in the 1960s when she, along with her then husband Gerry Goffin, wrote more than two dozen chart hits for numerous artists, many of which have become standards. She has continued writing for other artists since then. King's success as a performer in her own right did not come until the 1970s, when she sang her own songs, accompanying herself on the piano, in a series of albums and concerts. After experiencing commercial disappointment with her debut album Writer, King scored her breakthrough with the album Tapestry, which topped the U.S. album chart for 15 weeks in 1971 and remained on the charts for more than six years.[3]

I had this album too, Ace and it was off the chain. Really. I didn't get it when it came out, but I had it by 1974-75. The full album was on youtube but I can't find it now (tsk). Will keep looking and post it in full if I find it.

Happy birthday to Carole!

Republican candidate Donald Trump has had a lot to say about England and now you can heard what he would sound like with a London accent.

Sickly sea lion pup found sleeping in a booth in La Jolla restauarant


Employees at the Marine Room in La Jolla had an unexpected guest Thursday morning.

A sickly sea lion pup was found sleeping in one of the restaurant’s booths.

Restaurant employees found the pup, which is about the size of a small dog, on the seat near a window overlooking the ocean about 8 a.m., said manager Matt Caponi. Employees called a SeaWorld rescue team, and the pup was awake and moving around by the time the team arrived.

The 8-month-old female California sea lion was malnourished and dehydrated, SeaWorld officials said. At 20 pounds, she is considered a “micro pup,” meaning she is half the normal weight for her age.

This pup is in good hands now, but many pups in similar dire circumstances will not make it. Their habitats are being ruined with mountains of refuse, fish are disappearing. My heart aches for our wild animal friends.

Pro-Rape Meet-Up Canceled After Women’s Boxing Club Threatens to Show Up

These women are amazing.

Professional douchebag Roosh V. has made a name for himself advocating offensive misogynistic positions on his terrible website Return of Kings, and he's collected a handful of devoted followers in the process. But after scheduling an International Meetup Day for his "tribesmen" this weekend, he appears to have met his match: female boxers.

When they heard that Roosh and his followers were planning to meet up in Toronto, the women of the Toronto Newsgirls boxing club decided they'd attend the meet-up, too. That way when Roosh did what he threatened to do — take photos of any female protesters who showed up to dissect and criticize online later — he'd actually be snapping photos of badass bitches in boxing gloves.

"The photos of us will show women that being powerful is an option," founder Savoy Howe told Metro News. "And I think that’s what needs to happen against this d*****bag."

After word of the Newsgirls' plans spread, Roosh decided to cancel the meet-ups, writing that he can "no longer guarantee the safety or privacy of the men who want to attend."

Imagine feeling unsafe in a public space, or afraid to have your privacy violated. As a woman, I have no idea what that must be like.

Well, of course there'll be an anti-Beyonce protest.....

Many people of color are grateful she was brave enough to use her platform at a major American event to make her point - it's not like that she would have a chance at the Oscars.

In the latest News To Make You Pull Your Hair Out, protesters are planning to hold an anti-Beyoncé rally outside NFL HQ. And in case you haven’t been following the American sports news (you monster), that’s because the singer dared to make her recent performance at the Super Bowl political.

The performance referenced Black Panthers, Malcolm X, police brutality and the #BlackLivesMatter campaign in a style that many found controversial. New York City’s mayor Rudy Giuliani criticised it publicly, calling it ‘racist’ and ‘anti-police’.

*As an aside, how long will Rudy G. milk 9/11? for him it's 9/11 24/7. He is so pathetic.

Rudy Giuliani is a hypocrite. He supports Donald Trump, a presidential candidate who retweets falsified statistics that blame black people for the majority of white murders, he retweets from a white supremacist account called "White Genocide", he says Mexicans are rapists, Muslims should be banned from the US and he mocks reporters with disabilities...but he thinks pop star Beyonce goes too far by making a statement during a football game?

“Sharecropper,” a linocut by Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012), is part of the exhibit of works from the Harmon and Harriet Kelley exhibition at the Northwest African American Museum in Seattle, WA. Many of Catlett’s works reflected the hardship faced by women in the South.
