So today (Sunday) isn't a regular day for listening to the radio, but I needed to burn a couple hours so I flipped around the dial as it were on the satellite radio, and came across a guy who has show on guns & stuff.. I stopped and listened to this because I wanted to hear what it was like to listen to a gun nut . Trouble is he isn't a gun "nut" but rather has a show on guns, which after hearing about half an hour it was worth the listening.. He wasn't all Alex Jones or Ted Nugent screaming his head off.. He was low key and in discussion with people who called and talked about guns.. They didn't drool about them, they talked matter of fact, and it was this presentation that makes a better point than Alex or Ted could make.. This guy did talk about the new law that was passed in South Dakota for teachers to carry guns in the classroom.. Is this a good idea?? The way it was presented on this guys show I would say yes it is a good idea.. Truth is I'm for background checks for people buying guns.. I wouldn't think that regulating guns is a very good idea at all, you will cause more trouble than it is worth to try that idea.. And there are those off their nut gun owners who are the Alex and Ted type who wouldn't think twice to shoot first and ask questions later.. Very scary lot to be around no doubt about it..
Today's entry on PNOP was a tribute to Ten Years After because of Alvin Lee dying earlier in the week.. I watched Woodstock and was amazed at how great of a guitarist he was.. That is where I first got influenced to buy some of their recordings, mostly tapes and pretty much just best of or anthology type of recordings.. I really don't think there is a single box (multi disc format) out there which is sad.. Originally todays entry was to be Bachman Turner Overdrive but that got pushed back to two weeks from today.. A few more music entries are being thought of and stuff..with songs and their writing origins and things like that.. Maybe have an entry of Midnight Special that was done like that after I first got the Roku..
Speaking of the Roku, the channels that cost money do have free stuff on them.. Some of them do anyway.. The new channels that were added this week I tried a few of them out, as well I got just about all the private channels (beta) and checked them out, some are true works in progress such as the earlier mentioned HERO channel. And some are community channels.. Rutgers was added last week and a Pennsylvania channel was added as well as a Seattle channel.. How great these are depends on how they appear to you.. For me, I looked but wasn't impressed so I took them off..
The video sites on the Roku are very important, the YouTube private channel is very important and I don't look for that channel to be a public channel anytime soon, hope not anyway.. They have Daily Motion, MetaTube, Vimeo and Break as well as Mojo video which each have ten rows of 100 videos to chose from.. Over a thousand videos on each site.. Do they cross over each other?? They might but Daily Motion is a site of their own, you have to login to look t their site on the computer, same with Vimeo.. In fact Vimeo videos are a higher grade, high def, where the other sites have lower settings..
Last night I finished season one of House of Cards on Netflix and was quite impressed and can hardly wait for season two to be released.. Netflix released the entire season at once rather than one a week like regular tv does it.. Setting a new trend?? Then after that show I went to Videobuzz and searched for the old movie.. A very old movie I remember watching a little when I was younger and was hoping to get it at Netflix but never found it.. Friday night I searched the Videobuzz site and it came up.. The movie is called Sole Survivor and was from 1970.. I couldn't remember it being the way it was.. In fact there towards the end was the only part of the movie I really could remember.. Worth a second look? I guess it was, the quality wasn't great but it wasn't bad..
