In Houston a 24 year old woman was convicted of wreckless
driving charges which resulted in a mans death. The unusual
circumstance in the evidence were phone records which showed
she was on the phone when she jerked her car from the center to
the far right lane in order to try and make an exit ramp she had one
second earlier passed. While on the phone she noticed that the exit
she was looking for was being missed so she changed lanes without
signaling and locked up the brakes which caused the car behind her
to rear end her car. The driver of the other vehicle was thrown from
the wreck and died of sustained injuries. Yesterday she was convicted
and sentenced to only 30 days in jail and 10 years probation.
Convicted of causing a death. Her parents looked real stupid on TV.
First her father was shown saying justice was not served. How
could someone get rear ended and be in the wrong? Her Mother
wondered on camera how could you be convicted of something
that is not illegal? (i.e.talking on cell phone while driving.) First,
her wreckless driving forced the other driver into the back of her
car. Think if you were just drving along when someone pulls in
front of you and stops, you rear end them. Are you at fault?
Even though you hit them?
Second, She was not convicted of talking on the phone.
Although she was damaged by the fact she was.
Nobody voiced remorse for the family who's husband
and father is no longer among us. I hate seeing anybody go
to jail but if this is an example to the public I don't think it will
have an effect. Maybe after a few more people get killed.
Total Bummer 2.

Dear Big AL
no comment on the rant from me, just one from old Rev. Vincent - Inmates, From The Inside 1978. Symptoms described are not limited to Uncle Sam's daughters and sons.
I never thought I could get excited over Sweet Home Someplace ever again, but Moonshine Bandits did the trick. Also great Elvis & the Coconut. Reminds me of the Eagles - the ones that did Cherry Cola, not the ones that lived in the fast lane. And then California Speedbag, Atomic Bitchwax, Widespread Panic...
Ok, looks like I could just copy the playlists. So I mention just two more, the loong version of Stayed Awake and the job you did on Tobacco Road. Great.
By the way, what ever happened to the great American Bubble Factory? Union Sundown? They say Mr. Zimmerman was a poet. Looks like he was a prophet, too.
Back to the lighter side of life. Let's relax and have a little fun at somebody elses expense. Bob Rivers did it for us. Found a lot on YouTube, try Can't Afford To Drive My Car, Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep and I Finally Got My Ass To Rehab. Will lift your spirit in no time.
Rock on
Dino
P.S. a special thank to you for the first set of this month.
Always nice to hear form you Dino. Actually I guess I am mostly just trying to see what others think of this pandemic of stupidity.
I'm doin' The WALL STREET SHUFFLE!
Awesome!
Dino,
Is Bob Rivers the ex dejay from northern Indiana? Sounds a lot like his kind of parody.
Big Al,
Studys have shown that driving while cell phoning (even hands free)saps the concentration and judgement as much, IF NOT more than drinking and driving. If this lady was drunk and did this it would be end of the story.
One in the same. Perhaps you have heard his Christmas albums?
Hey Leo,
checking wkipedia I'd say yes. I don't know about your political preferences, but check out Bob Rivers Show - Cheney's Got a Gun.
Just for the veery good studio work, personally I don't care who he alludes to. I don't of course want to say that Big AL talking about a pandemic of stupidity made me think of this. Purely coincidental. I'm also pointing out again: I did not have sexual relations with Minoca Lewdinsky, I never inhaled her, wait, I mean...
Just one more good parody: Mark Johnathan Davis also is on YouTube - Stairway to 7-11. Also very funny and pc.
Back to what it's really all about. Rockcast. No copying the playlist, just a big hand for the Wallstreet Shuffle and Aqua Velvet. Who comes up with an Album name Backflip Louie and the Poolparty Pagans. That's just awesome.
And hey I first thought Sparks - Barbecutie is about melting barbies on fire. And it was Cheech & Chong again?
Esto es un Rockcast! Manos a... Manos um, Manos arriba for clapping along!
Dino
Big Al,
I have heard some of Bobby Rivers Christmas stuff. Back when he was around here, he called himself Bobby. Quite a character.
Dino,
No problem, haven't heard that one about Cheney, but it is a natural.
That would be the EAGLES Of DEATH METAL's Cherry Cola.
