when my appetite has been whetted for music, and more specifically music videos, darn it i'm going to satisfy that craving. these vids are some of my favs...i hope you enjoy them too.
On Monday, January 29, 1979, Brenda Ann Spencer wounded eight children and one police officer and killed principal Burton Wragg and custodian Mike Suchar in a shooting spree at Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, California, United States.
The school was across the street from her house. She used the rifle she had recently been given for Christmas by her father. When the six-hour incident ended and the sixteen-year-old was asked why she had committed the crime, she shrugged and replied, "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day." She also said: "I had no reason for it, and it was just a lot of fun." "It was just like shooting ducks in a pond." and "[The children] looked like a herd of cows standing around, it was really easy pickings."
She pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and assault with a deadly weapon, and was sentenced to prison for 25 years to life, currently being served at The California Institution for Women in Corona. She has been eligible for parole four times and has been turned down each time, most recently in 2005. She will be eligible for parole again in 2009.

boomerSoundLevelEleven ~ what does it mean?
in the movie This Is Spinal Tap, the scene where they turn the amp sound level up to 11 always spoke to me. i'm a boomer, i like my music frequently, with frequency and ecclectically. i toyed with the thought of titling the blog my generation for the great boomer anthem given us by TheWho, but decided on boomerSoundLevelEleven because it was more in keeping with the feeling i had when i decided to create this blog.
i was watching vh1classic and was expecting to see Nirvana videos [in their entirety], but instead what i got was mostly talking heads and no i don't mean the band, and only snippets of actual music. and then it occurred to me: i'm a modern woman of the 21st century, with an infinite amount of internet resources literally at my fingertips. why should i gnash my teeth in frustration because i have been duped yet again by the description on the program grid of my tv. when my appetite has been whetted for music, and more specifically music videos, darn it i'm going to satisfy that craving. these vids are some of my favs...i hope you enjoy them too.
