On Popularity

The rise in popularity of certain things are not always a bad thing to me. I'm speaking just for myself when I say that I watch American Idol just as much as I did in the first season. Is American Idol popular? Yes. Is it cool and hip to watch American Idol? No. Am I a turd because I watch it? Probably (a fully entertained turd I might add). The Coyote once tried to kick me in the nards because of my love for American Idol but luckily I was wearing a cup that day. He did however successfully leave coyote scat in my duffel bag. Grrrross.

Anyway, with all this talk about popularity, boredom, keepin' it real, scat, let's all take a moment to remember what is really important about the ukulele and the ukulele community: Strumming patterns. Chunk each day as if it were your last. Chunkity chunk chunk.


Lastly:
Has anybody else been enjoying the fireworks on the forums lately? They nearly burned off my eyebrows but they were damn fantastic. The whole shit storm that went down seems to have sparked some pretty good conversations on the matter. As for the people that made it personal and scolded UCB for having an opinion, follow these three steps:

1. drink the kool-aid
2. look in the mirror and wave "hello" to the lemming
3. jump off a cliff
