Different Drum

you and I travel to the beat of a different drum...

wow..so I'm watching all these stories about Malala Yousafzai, the 16 year old Pakistan girl who got shot by some Taliban teabagger punk...and I'm watching her in interviews, often appearing with her father....and I'm amazed at her bravery....she advocates for something we take for granted in the USA..education for girls...that's something the Taliban don't like and they shot her for that...some crazy Americans don't want girls to get too uppity either!


 
that is unfathomable to me so we should drop all the Afghanistan warring and go get the crazy cowardly Taliban who are like rats...hiding in the darkness, like tea-conservatives!!

send the Special Ops in and take care of business in Pakistan..that's a war I'd support..

then I see Pat Morrison on KCET interviewing Linda Ronstadt....I've heard stories that Linda had Parkinson's disease and she couldn't sing or walk..but she's promoting a new book "Simple Dreams" and she was looking pretty good and talked just fine....has tons of energy and took a shot at the anti-immigration teabaggers calling them stupid! haha..of course she's right when she says Americans should be multi-lingual and learn the language of the borders..Spanish and French because it makes you smarter...and many Americans sure could stand to be a little smarter!!

apparently the Parkinson's disease blocks her ability to sing but that's not stopping her from being involved in music...

I first heard her when "Different Drum" was a hit..I love that song...it was written by Mike Nesmith and Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys turned it into a pop gem....and then in the 1970s she was on the radio constantly....and her version of "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" was rockin!!!

for some reason she isn't in the RocknRoll Hall of Fame not that she really cares as she said, but this year she was finally nominated....

she's a music icon and watching the KCET interview was a delight..this lady doesn't take shit from anybody...not even Parkinson
