I know, I’ve been heavy on the YouTubes lately (and even have a couple of Atenes up my sleeve) but I cannot NOT post this: my second-favorite Sesame Street character performing my third-favorite piece of music:
Everybody meep along!

CHARO! Espana Cani! The New Single!
CAN!
YOU!
TELL!
I’M!
EXCITED?
God, could I possibly love Charo more? No, no I could not.
Here’s a slideshow of images from her live show in Laughlin (and WHY is she not headlining Vegas, baby?) to the accompaniment of her gorgeous flamenco guitar. Remember, however hootchie she may be, she’s a talented hoochie!
The Gossip Blogging Industry Summed Up in One Sentence
Superstar Hits!
From WebstersIsMyBitch:
I’ve been hard on Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon for a few months now because those assholes don’t make sex tapes, don’t cheat, don’t drink to excess in public, and don’t murder people, which makes my job a lot more difficult.
Precisely. This is why people with their shit together can make great actors, but lousy celebrities. THIS is the true Amy Winehouse Principle.
I have a theory that when someone recognizes your work before your face, you’re an artist; when someone recognizes your face before your work, you’re a celebrity. This came to me one day when I passed BB King‘s tour bus and said to my friend “I don’t think I even know what BB King looks like” and I didn’t notice BB King standing right there because, you see, I didn’t know what he looked like.
Sorry, BB. All you had to do was play a note and I’d have genuflected. BB King and Bono are perfect examples of each side of this equation, although they are equally talented.
a song for no particular reason
You look so fine
I want to break your heart
And give you mine
You’re taking me over
It’s so insane
You’ve got me tethered and chained
I hear your name
And I’m falling over
I’m not like all the other girls
I can’t take it like the other girls
I won’t share it like the other girls
That you used to know
You look so fine
Knocked down
Cried out
Been down just to find out
I’m through
Bleeding for you
I’m open wide
I want to take you home
We’ll waste some time
You’re the only one for me
You look so fine
I’m like the desert tonight
Leave her behind
If you want to show me
I’m not like all the other girls
I won’t take it like the other girls
I won’t fake it like the other girls
That you used to know
You’re taking me over
Over and over
I’m falling over
Over and over
You’re taking me over
Drown in me one more time
Hide inside me tonight
Do what you want to do
Just pretend happy end
Let me know let it show
Ending with letting go (3x)
Let’s pretend, happy end (4x)
