Don’t make me turn this culture around:
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is awash in animal-related protests over its floats, with controversies involving the unlikely pairing of rocker Joan Jett and Shamu the killer whale.
Activists plan to line the route of next week’s parade to protest a SeaWorld float over accusations in a new documentary that the theme parks treat whales badly. And ranchers succeeded in getting Jett pulled off the South Dakota tourism float after they questioned why the vegetarian and animal-rights ally was representing their beef-loving state.
The float flaps threaten to shake Macy’s traditional position of staying out of politics and soaring silently above the fray, like the massive balloons of Snoopy, Kermit the Frog and SpongeBob SquarePants.
…and I’m looking askance at both sides on this one, OK? Animal rights activists: people like killer whale balloons. Ranchers: “Crimson and Clover” is a great freaking cover. Continue reading Oh, for the love of… just leave the Macy’s parade alone, OK?
I was going to go with something from Guns N Roses, but only because I had a two hour period today where I could only identify that band as “the one with the guy with the hat.” They say that memory is the first thing to go… who? I don’t know who said it: it went.
Where was I?

Wow. That video didn’t age well.

What? It’s not like her policy positions actually affect her guitar playing.
