Entertainment & Music - 5 November 2007

I am prone to a sudden burst of enthusiasm followed by a two week (or so, generally) decline in interest. It maddens me. Can't I just stick with something, for once? I would love to keep practicing my guitar but I'm lazy. And frustrated. How can I kick my own ***? I feel burdened and smothered by that first, initial, familiarizing yourself with the instrument horribleness of sore fingers and thinking too hard. It brings me back to the early days of frustratingly bad clarinet playing. I think the reason I became so good at clarinet was not because I liked it, but because I was so damn frustrated- I would just keep practicing the same thing over and over until it was right. My parents made me practice as a child. How do you keep yourself practicing? Did you enjoy the beginning part where it hurt to hold down the strings and you couldn't get your pinky to hold down one string (forget about several strings) hard enough to get a sound out? HELP!

Can a former kiddie show host be taken seriously as a musician?

I was just reading this story about Steve Burns, the former host of "Blue's Clues", who recorded an album with some of the members of The Flaming Lips:

Now plenty of established musicians have made appearances on kids shows (there have been a ton on Sesame Street) but they were able to return to the careers in music that they already had. Besides being in some bands while growing up Steve didn't have much of a musical history, so do you think he will be able to erase the image of the striped rugby shirt and be accepted in the rock community?

Lonely woman?

A rich lonely widow decided that she needed another man in her life so she placed an ad, which read something like this:

RICH WIDOW LOOKING FOR MAN TO SHARE LIFE AND FORTUNE ...NEEDS TO HAVE THESE QUALIFICATIONS:

1) WON'T BEAT ME UP
2) WON'T RUN AWAY
3) HAS TO BE GREAT IN BED

For several months, her phone rang off the hook, her doorbell was ringing constantly, she received tons of mail, etc., all to no avail: none seemed to match her qualifications.
Then one day the doorbell rang yet again. She opened the door to find a man with no arms and no legs lying on the welcome mat.

Confused she asked, "Who are you? And what do you want?"

"Hi," he said, " your search is over, for I'm the man of your dreams. I've got no arms so I can't beat you up and no legs so I can't run away."
"Well, then," she said, "what makes you think that you're so great in bed?"
To which he replied,..... "Well, I rang the doorbell, didn't I?
