On this, the first night of Hanukkah, we are pleased to present you with a delightful dose of Mormon senatorial spirituality.  As The New York Times put it:
“The canon of Hanukkah songs written by Mormon senators from Utah just got a little bigger.”
(Click HERE for the article.)

Indeed, Senator Orrin G. Hatch, the solemn-faced Republican, has penned a catchy holiday tune: “Eight Days of Hanukkah.”  Read the story on how this came to be.

Well, perhaps he’s on to something.  As Michael Feinstein writes in his New York Times Op-Ed:

“We live in a multicultural time and the mixing, and mixing up, of traditions is an inevitable result. Hence we have the almost century-old custom of American Jews creating a lot more Christmas music than Hanukkah music.”

Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No by James Blagden
November 11, 2009

In celebration of the greatest athletic achievement by a man on a psychedelic journey, No Mas and artist James Blagden proudly present the animated tale of Dock Ellis’ legendary LSD no-hitter.  Of the 263 no-hitters ever thrown in the Big Leagues, we can only guess how many were aided by steroids, but we can say without question that only one was ever thrown on acid.

Sadly, the great Dock Ellis died last December at 63. A year before, radio producers Donnell Alexander and Neille Ilel, recorded an interview with Ellis in which the former Pirate gave a moment by moment account of his June 12, 1970, no-hitter against the San Diego Padres.  The original four minute piece appeared March 29, 2008 on NPRs Weekend America.

Bill Dance’s classic bloopers….

“Kill yourself, you know?”

Those are probably not the words you’d want to hear after submitting a less than professional (admittedly) production of a hip hop video to the world.  Those words, however, were the repeated response to apsiring rapper Bangs’s art: his own hip hop song that he posted on YouTube.

While Bangs’s song may not be the most conventional piece of hip hop, it certainly is the product of one man’s enthusiasm.  Bangs took a love of his–hip hop–and turned it into a visual presentation; a presentation that was shatted on by numerous callers on a Shade 45 XM radio show.  Wow.

“Haters,” as they were naturally called, commanded the airwaves for a good number of minutes.  The callers would not only bash what Bangs presented, but they suggest he bash his own head in over the lyrics wrote.

What’s the problem here, though?  Isn’t this what rappers have presented over the years?  Isn’t this what artists have communicated to the masses?  Oh…I guess living the dream isn’t the dream afterall.
