All Movie Guide:
AMG is my day job, so I've written too many reviews and synopses to list. If you really want to dive into that murky abyss, try clicking here. Of course, if you're like most people, you're only here to read my Pulitzer Prize-winning review of *batteries not included and my Congressional Medal of Awesome Award-winning synopsis of Ass Illustrated.

I meant to tackle the news of Orrin Hatch's desire to destroy the computers of "illegal" file-sharers as well as the fact that Hatch somehow made $18,000 in songwriting revenues last year for songs called America Rocks! and America United, but I didn't get around to it. Now someone else is already on top of it.
Rob Theakston has addressed the issue at length in his two latest posts. He's contacted the Senator's people for more info and will be posting updates as the situation progresses. He even mentions me in yesterday's entry. I responded to his shout out in the comments section of today's entry. Check it out.
Something I did find that isn't on Rob's site are the lyrics to America Rocks! Now that I read them I guess I can see how the guy made so much dough. I can't wait for O-Hat's follow-up tunes Church Rocks!, The Dentist's Office Rocks! and Decaf Rocks!
Read it and weep, I mean rock:
If you see a great big smile
Lighting up my face
It's because I know I live
In a downright wonderful place
When I see red, white and blue
My heart turns inside out
From a feeling deep inside
That makes me want to shout
Chorus:
America rocks! America rocks!
From its busy bustling cities
To its quiet country walks
It's totally cool, it's totally hot
I mean it's like right there at the top-
America rocks! America rocks! America rocks!
If you see my happy feet
Just can't be still
It's because a good parade
And a band can give me a thrill
When I see them marching by
My arms begin to swing
When I hear "The Stars and Stripes"
It makes me want to sing
Repeat chorus
When you hear my happy voice
Singing clear and strong
Maybe you could join right in
And we'll all be singing along
When we sing allegiance to
This country that we love
We can let the whole world know
We're feeling great because
Repeat chorus
