War on stupidity

Such a wonderful holiday season!! I refuse to believe that there is a "war on Christmas". Who care if you say "happy holidays"?! It continues to amaze me, that a country founded for the purpose of freedom of, and from religion continues to reach to its puritanical past, insisting that Christianity be shoved down everyone else's throats. So you celebrate Christmas, why should it matter if Target puts up Merry Christmas signs? Why must a holiday, which celebrates the humble birth of Jesus be forced in eveybody's face, no matter their religion? I am Christian, and yes, I celebrate Christmas. But I couldn't care less what slogans the malls and stores display. They are trying to make everyone feel welcome enough to spend their money there. It's not about trying to erase Christmas...it's about trying to make money! This is where the Christian right is wrong. They think it's about Christians, and Christmas; when it's really about capitalism and profit. Why must they keep shoving religion down our throats?!

DiG

So I watched DiG! last night. (I love netflix!!) It's an interesting documentary about The Dandy Warhols and Brian Jonestown Massacre. Particularly the different roads they've traveled in the music industry. The band leaders Anton Newcombe (BJM) and Courtney Taylor (DW) are amazingly talented musicians. Their rivalry pushed both artists to expand their music. I think I'll try to go to the Dandy Warhols show on Dec 10.

Joel Gion, of the BJM is probably one of the coolest, most lunatic people I've ever seen. But I absolutely adore him!! He made the movie. Interestingly, he made an appearance in The Gilmore Girls 2 weeks ago. I haven't seen the episode yet, but I'm sure it was a riot...if you've seen the movie.
