Not sure what to make of this, but listening to the radio just now, I heard “Bibi” call in and dedicate the following to “BHO”:
May you always live in interesting times…

This feels freshly relevant once again.
Completely OT: Watched The Friends of Eddie Coyle last night and about fell out of my seat when a drunk Robert Mitchum says, “Number four, Bobby Orr.”
Good movie, worth another watch if you haven’t in a while. Great roles for Richard Jordan and Peter Boyle as well as Mitchum, btw.
Fake friends for a fake leader. Appropriate.
Joan Jett lives near me here on Long Island. I’ve seen her a couple of times in some local bars.
Drinking, not singing…
You can always count on Bibi to push the right buttons.
Springtime for Hitler – The Producers
Bob, did you say hello and get smacker around by her? I understand she has a really bad attitude about her fame.
Next time you see her, Bob, tell her I really liked her on “Highlander: The Series.”
Wear Kevlar.
Barack Obama likes Israel just fine. Just a little less than he like the British.
for the word guy:

Am I remembering wrong, or was the Rev Wright a little less than gracious when Israel was the discussion? To put it delicately.
Not that it matters, actually hearing your mentor isn’t important.
It’s funny. Obama thinks he’s a man of the world. Sophisticated, educated, thoughtful, and just. A man of respect. The pinnacle of the elite. Quite possibly Caesar himself.
When really, he’s just a Chicago gangster.
Wow, was she ever hot back then. Ouch.
I’d say that with the us conservatives he plays the Chicago gangster but with Israel he is Turtle Bay all the way down.
Pass the ketchup….
Bob,
Interesting. I’m guessing she doesn’t look like this anymore. She was definitely my kind of Bad Girl back then.
Just words,
which can be abrogated at any moment proving that 1975 was not singular for the Democrats but a policy of long standing that is not just words but seared into their shriveled souls by fire.
eff you greta!
cranky-d, McGeehee,
you both are correct, she was rather dismissive and unfriendly when I approached her to give her my compliments and regards; downright snarling. But, I guess that’s both “New York” and in keeping with her “metal” style.
Spiny Norman, no sir, she definitely didn’t look like that these days…
Mark Levin reaches out of Facebook and slaps Krauthammer around a bit, for casting BHO’s ME policy as like the “Bush Doctrine”: Krauthammer’s analogies are “sloppy, inaccurate”.
The dictionary definition of ‘rode hard, put up wet’ I’m guessing. She was a party animal; they never do age very well.
Excellent guess serr8d; with a side order of middle-aged-lesbian thrown in.
odd lyrics:

Yum.
And while I realize it was a rhetorical question, the answer was/is a resounding “damn straight, skippy!”
At which point she’d punch me in the face for calling her “skippy”, so it’s probably just as well.
Bob: Next time she shows up go up to her and say “I am a real fan Ms. Benatar, can I have your autograph?”
That’s evil, Joe. Good work.
Combination of broad, slumpy shoulders and small bust doesn’t really work all that well, but I probably would have done her if I even suspected I’d survive the experience with all parts in place and relatively undamaged.
Pat Benatar doesn’t resemble her much. Here she is, her first video I think, with what Wikipedia says is MTV’s first video featuring a guitar solo. What a fucking set of pipes, especially considering how tiny she is.
[…] others. My own take was expressed in comments here and […]
Speaking of a fucking set of pipes, although on a (to me) somewhat less attractive frame: this song by Heart is still my favorite, although it got very close to zero airplay.
Holy shit, can that woman sing.
I have nothing really against either, I just know Joan Jett getting mistaken for Pat Benatar would make Ms. Jett go apopleptic.
You could go up to Ms. Jett and do the same thing, but substitute “Toni Basil” for Pat Benatar. That would be even funnier. She would probably punch you.
Hah! I like that.
She looks ok here, which is pretty recent. I think she looks better with short hair.
It does look as if she’s had some work done, though.
Much scarier in person, I assure you…
She probably thinks her career should have gone better than it did. I would guess it’s tough to have success when you’re young, and then end up as a journeyman musician, such that you can make a decent living but not live large any more. That could easily give one a bad attitude.
On the other hand, I’ve heard accounts of people meeting members of bands that peaked a long time ago and are still friendly. Iowahawk wrote about meeting Joan Jett and Def Leppard, and he noted the contrast between them.
