Smells Like Ron Paul Spirit... Really?

Wow so the day has come when a congressman and a presidential candidate is being compared to the iconic former Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain. I'm a big fan of the website Prisonplanet.com and one of their latest articles compared the mainstream conservative movement and the uprising of Ron Paul in the 2012 election to the alternative music movement that occurred in the 90's and how basically a trio of under dogs with a band called Nirvana captured the music industry with it's realistic alternative sound changed the music scene and knocked glam metal bands off their big haired pedestals! While I appreciate journalists and Ron Paul supporters attempts to get younger voters by attracting them through "alternative" means, Nirvana never had an agenda much bigger than making good music and living their lives by their own rules and lets not forget that Nirvana has only gotten more and more popular over time AFTER the death of Kurt Cobain. So it seems only fair if your going to create a diagram of similarities that you should mention the differences as well but I guess they're too vast and obvious to mention them... at all.
While Ron Paul might have more than few things on his agenda that I'm all for I don't see ANY presidential candidate that will really make a positive difference. Obama seemed like the lesser of two evils in 2008 mainly because of Sarah Palin and her Russian landscape credentials but I see Ron Paul as someone who wants to hand responsibility out to the American people without taking into count the responsibilities they already have. Just by legalize drugs & prostitution, cutting off all welfare, social security and federal aid we'd have ourselves a United states similar to a ghetto Amsterdam. That's still run by a president that is merely a mouth piece for an underground society that's stocking up and taking names so that they can control and build the new world to their rich supremacist shape shifting ideals, once the alignment causes our planet to shift 40 degrees and causes earths crust and all the water on the planet to simply redecorate the inhabitable parts of earth. So really either way most of us are fucked when that happens, but the good thing is we still have free will and knowledge is power. An like they say it ain't over till the fat lady sings!
What a silly idea for a campaign add! lol
He was kinda a cutie when he was younger... but looks are decieving. Don't believe anything they tell you and only half of what you see!

Big Screen Nirvana


So I read an article about how a new movie about the life of Kurt Cobain is in the works. The movie Last Days staring Michael Pitt wasn't really in my opinion a realistic telling of the real Kurt's last days but if you forget all the conspiracy theories and except the hypothetical story line it's actually a good movie. I think Michael Pitt is just unnaturally sexy but for the new movie I think the best actor to play the Nirvana god would be James Mcavoy! At first glance you might not get the resemblance but their is a likeness and I think he would bring more than just a pretty face to the role! Otherwise I'd say go with an unknown. As for Courtney Love wanting Scarlett Johansen to play her... HA! She is seriously delusional because there is zero resemblance in either looks or personality. She's a hot mess and Scar Jo is a class act! For those few of you that watched the movie Candy with Heath Ledger and Abby Cornish, then you'll probably agree with me when I say I think Abby would be brilliant for the role if not then maybe a poor man's sluttier Scarlett Johansen would work in the form of Amber Heard. Honestly I can't believe a (non indie) movie about Kurt Cobain hasn't hit the big screen yet. If done right and with the right actors it could be legendary!
