another stupid hack New Age "composer" who wants to be a pianist and synthesizer whiz who writes bloated, pompous artsy-fartsy puke that is nothing more than elevator muzak for the modern age we live in. This wretched garbage called "New Age" is just corporate modern-day elevator music consisting of overblown "classical" pretension with just enough of a post-Pink Floyd touch to make it more updated. Utterly disposable. There is much better instrumental music around. Hell, Pink Floyd has done far better instrumentals. Check them out, they kick Yawn-ee's ass any day.
1. in college, many women I knew there swore up and down about the merits of the music of Yanni. I listened to the suggestions of my friends and opened my musical horizons, listening beyond the box. Roxy Music is awesome, Nick Lowe is a witty rockin' dude, and I just couldn't get into Harry Connick, Jr. at all. Well, I saw a PBS special that featured Yanni live at home in Greece and man did it ever ess you cee kay. Totally poofy trash.
2. I was visiting a friend's house shortly after he got married. He slipped in a Yanni disc and read off some yucky love "lyrics" that he wrote to the music. I was laying on a bed hearing it all, and it was all Barf City. The lyrics were cliched and sickening to the max, and the "music" - well, it just plain sucked big time. The only word that could accurately describe it all was "godawful". It was one of those things that never should've been done. Yeeeccchhh.

Get the Yannimug. It's like cock rock but the music is country. Like cock rock, it's about the adventures of the singer's cock (sex life).

Get the cock countrymug. 1. one of the planets of our solar system. Ceres and "Xena" are also planets. Anything that is round, orbits a star and is NOT a star itself is a planet, no matter what those cretins in the IAU say.
2. a Disney cartoon dog

Get the plutomug. 1. I was 17 when I was visiting my cousin in Memphis. He gave me a can of Coors beer. I tasted it for the first time. It tasted like industrial slop water. That or maybe panther piss. The worst beer in the universe.
2. I was driving on the New York State side of the Niagara Falls area and my car's tank was down about half. I wanted to get gaased up on the American side because Canada has a lot of gas brands of their own and I didn't know how suitable they are to my car's engine. I saw virtually no major brand gas stations on the highway, so when I saw a sign leading to a gas station at the Ticonderoga Indian reservation I took the exit. I fueled up, the gasoline brand was exclusive to the Iroqouis Confederacy. I was afraid that I was tanking up with panther piss but the gas was really good. My car operated nicely. No bucking and snorting. No problemo. Later that afternoon I crossed the border into Canada, where the hotel I reserved a room at was located.

Get the panther pissmug. a spectacular comet that graced our skies in 1996 - 1997. It lead to lots of stupid New Age speculation due to the "prophecy" and angel-encounter end-of-the-millenium bullshit that was going on in near the end of the 20th century. There were cult suicides, and superstitious predictions that did not come true. It was very prominent in the sky in early to mid 1997. Dubbed the "Comet of the Century", Hale-Bopp was a thrill to see and a once in a lifetime event, although you can't tell when the next comet "biggie" may come our way.

Get the Comet Hale-Boppmug. A "new wave" rock'n'roll band from Australia that kicked mighty ass in the 1980s and 1990s. Their intelligent lyrics and hard driving music rocked an entire generation. Their singer/songwriter Michael Hutchence had a Jaggeresque swagger (some INXS songs show a strong Stonesy influence). He was found dead in 1997 after the band had scored many hits around the world. After that they got a replacement in J.D. Fortune and resumed activity. Still, without Hutch and his macho stage aura (and superb songwriting abilities), it just ain't the same. INXS ROCKS! INXS KICKS ASS!
The best INXS albums include "Listen Like Thieves", "Welcome to Wherever You Are", "Kick", "X", and "Full Moon Dirty Hearts". Their anthology "Shine Like It Does" is EXCELLENT! Also check out their video DVDs.

Get the INXSmug. a Canadian journalist and reporter for America's ABC News for several years. He caused a stir a few years ago when he said that a recent tune by jingoist Toby Keith is not in the spirit of American holiday the 4th of July (Independence Day). Well, he was right - July 4 is a celebration of American independence and freedom, not war. A lifelong heavy smoker, he died of lung cancer in 2005. RIP Peter Jennings.
In late August 1997, I was going to watch ABC Night Line on tv at midnight, then hit the sack. It gave live coverage of the funeral of Mother Teresa in India. Peter Jennings gave an excellent unbiased coverage of the event, and you could see by the diversity of the audience how well respected and greatly admired Mother Teresa was. There were Sikhs, Buddhist monks, Hindu clergy, Orthodox Christian clergy, Jewish rabbis and many more. Jennings interviewed a Lutheran pastor, a Muslim scholar and others. He gave no bias in all this, he let the people do the talking. It went on all through the night, not ending until about 6 AM Eastern Time. Peter Jennings did a great job of covering this event. He was not a programmed doctrine-spewing mannequin like many reporters on many other networks. He was not a "pop news" airhead.
