The TKC Saturday Night Playlist: Kansas City's blogosphere is mostly full of hippies and their silly pet causes!!!

The local Internets provides the greatest forum for free speech, political thought and expression Kansas City has ever seen . . . Sadly, most of the popular local blogs that I read are either obsessed with some lame cause or promoting a completely non-threatening worldview that probably doesn't even excite their spouse.

It's kinda sad really and makes me admire those bloggers who at least have the courage to simply post photos of their cat - That's not a sexual reference by the way.

Here's what I'm referring to:

The local biking hippies can't file enough posts providing reasons people should avoid hitting annoying, dangerous, daredevil cyclists. Sure, I'm all for sharing the road and keeping people safe but Kansas City's cyclists won't stop there . . . They want control of Kansas City streets!!! It scares me to think that this predominantly white, affluent and liberal constituency is closer than everyone thinks to achieving their goal.

Ugh . . . And then there's the lame Urban Gardening/Organic is God good trend that everyone touts as if they're discovering the wheel. I have a (conspiracy) theory that it's all a ruse to get folks to become more obsessed with the crap that goes into their bodies rather than the crappy state of the world around them. I know I'm right here and the Skinny Bitches secretly want everyone to live in squalor while reading labels and counting celery sticks.

And then there's these Kansas City bloggers who read. Mind you, I guess there's nothing wrong with reading . . . I guess. Still, I'm sure the activity takes away valuable time that could be spent watching the latest human interest story on the local news or checking out a crappy KC band.

An then there's just the average, everyday Kansas City blogger that either wants to tell the public how to vote or simply help the environment while providing interesting tips on daily life.

WHO IN THE HELL DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE???!!! Obviously, none of them are that influential given that this summer we'll see even more bikers killed for getting in the way and refusing to ride on a trail somewhere outside of the city, most people hate vegetables not covered in cheese or ranch dressing, nobody reads and the Black Hole that scientists are working on is going to make the hole in the ozone look like small potatoes.

I know it's tempting to admire the efforts of these Kansas City bloggers but that would only encourage them.

In fact, while I'm pissed about this bloggy eco-people-friendly movement in KC and plotting how I'm going to retaliate, I've been listening to the following tunes:

Age of Aquarius & Let the Sun Shine - Hair Soundtrack/ 5th Dimension

Hippie Chick - Soho

Let Love Rule - Lenny Kravitz

Time of the Season - The Zombies

Turn, Turn, Turn - The Byrds

Sunshine of your love - Cream

Fortunate Son - Credence Clearwater Revival

Share the land - The guess Who

Nights in White Satin - The Moody Blues

Freedom - Richie Havens



Good songs and they even gave me an idea for a movie that incorporates all of these tunes into a montage - It'll be really original and not like every other movie I watched growing up . . . Nevertheless . . .

BE WARNED local bloggy folks who are not (yet) dirty hippies . . . While the "progressive" (ugh) politics are tempting and harken back to a glorious time when you could bang ditzy broads without much fear of repercussions . . . Sadly, that time is over and we're moving toward a new historical epoch which finds "The American Century" at an end and the Chinese now running things - Which is why I recently stopped giving a crap about Tibet. So good luck saving the world, Kansas City bloggers. It's gonna be hard considering that only 1 in 4 registered voters in this town even bother to show up on election day.

I'll be practicing how to use chopsticks.

By the way, I think this is the Chinese symbol for Crab Rangoon:



Thanks for reading this week, have a safe and fun weekend.
