What We’re Arguing About…

If you haven’t been to the Forum in awhile, or ever for that matter, well then you are missing out on sharing your opinions with us! Not only do we discuss every Reality Show you love and become Big Brother Central in the Summer, but we also discuss current events, Holidays, Movies, TV Shows and more!

We also however have a special section that we can debate (Argue) some more controversial issues. Currently, we are discussing how Hollywood seems to have a double-standard. How celebrities seem to be able to get away with things that the otherwise normal person, like you, can’t.

One of our members mentions Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson, Chris Brown, Michael Jackson, OJ, Lindsay Lohan… Saying the former three are abusers, Jackson of course with the child molestation, and well, you know the deal on the latter two.

Another member says “If you have fame and money, you can sleep with children, kill your wife, bite your girlfriend, etc. All of that is socially acceptable here. But if you even THINK about lighting a cigarette, it’s the end of the world; never to be forgotten or forgiven.”

Another one of our members feels that Celebrities are like Gods, and should be able to live the double standard.

I will not take sides out here, but sides are definitely being drawn in there. CLICK HERE to make your voice heard!

Melodic Monday: Spotlight on Los Lobos

Los Lobos has been around a pretty long time, and yet, never seem to get older. Their music has found it’s way into many a gathering at my house, usually in the summertime with the BBQ smells filling the backyard, the Corona’s with lime cluttering the outside table (course I myself prefer Pacifico), children in bathing suits laughing in the sun… It’s almost a tradition. In fact, it just may be.

Today’s Melodic Monday is in tribute to them, and hopefully, a prelude to Spring to finally come upon us all. Enjoy!

Introduction from NPR:

Los Lobos has proven time and again that a universal shared experience will always trump culture and language. The group writes music that speaks to all of us as individuals, yet can make us feel connected when we pack ourselves into a club to watch them perform.

I’ve been a fan of Los Lobos since I was 18 and the band was playing mariachi music on the campus of UC-Davis. I’m 52 now. I’ve seen many,many Los Lobos shows and even interviewed the band a handful of times, and yet I still get excited when I get a chance to see its members play.

This past summer, the group released a new album called Tin Can Trust. Thankfully, for Los Lobos, there’s always a new record: songs to sing along to, stories to compare our lives to, cumbias to dance to. This short blast from behind Bob Boilen’s desk has something new, something old and something to dance to. So pull the chairs back and grab a partner — it’s time to dance.
