When a planet is run by (Keith) Moons
If you wanted to be in a 1970s rock band, there were many pre-requisites, e.g. long hair, sex, heavy drinking, sex, drug use, sex, intolerable drum solos, sex, and an innate ability to demolish hotel rooms.
How many yarns have been spun about classic rockers like Led Zeppelin and The Who being banned from entire hotel chains after turning their rented rooms into Superfund sites? Keith Moon’s legend was built as much on his motel madness as his drumming dexterity. Consider this come-on from a British travel website: “Los Angeles has more rock ‘n’ roll landmarks - and more trashed hotel rooms - than any other city, making it a mecca for music fans and trivia buffs.”
It’s become socially acceptable—admired even—to leave your borrowed digs in worse shape than how you found them. Hmm ... I smell a metaphor brewing:
Imagine Earth as an enormous Holiday Inn…
…and humanity as, say, Ozzy Osbourne on tour without supervision.
At some point, however, the hotel bill comes due.
George Bernard Shaw says:
“I don’t know if there are men on the moon, but if there are, they must using the earth as their lunatic asylum.”
Shaw time?
Wanna do something to help someone in the midst of all this lunacy? The home of 84-year-old Puerto Rican Independista Lolita Lebrón (see Tuesday’s post here) has burnt down...and Ms. Lebrón could use some financial support.

In yesterday’s comments section, Jim talked about us brainstorming ideas to challenge the competitive paradigm. I say, let’s get to it.
Ladies and gentlemen, start your mental engines...Who’s got an idea?
