John Mellencamp …. “🎼🎼 Took A Knee On ‘The Late Show’ …. EASY TARGET 🎼🎼 …. “!!

~~February 3, 2018~~ 

JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP

~Ahead Of Super Bowl Weekend~

John Mellencamp capped off a haunting rendition of his politically charged anthem “Easy Target” with a powerful statement on Thursday’s episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
The musician dropped down to one knee and raised a fist into the air as his performance drew to a close.

The track itself, which Mellencamp released on the eve of ‘so-called President’ Drumpf’s inauguration in January 2017, addresses racial inequality and references the Black Lives Matter movement.

The lyrics include:
So Black Lives Matter, who we tryin’ to kid.

Here’s an easy target. Don’t matter, never did.

Crosses burning such a long time ago, 400 years and we still don’t let it go.

Video of Mellencamp’s “Late Show” protest is now going viral, poignantly coming as it did ahead of this Sunday’s Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots.

NFL players have invoked the wrath of Drumpf and the president’s supporters in recent months for following the lead of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in taking a knee during the national anthem before games to protest police brutality and racial injustice.

Donald Drumpf’s Speeches …. “As An Early 2000’s Emo Song …. ‘You’re Mean’ …. “!!

~~March 28, 2017~~ 

EMO SONG

Someone Made Donald Trump’s Speeches Into An Early 2000’s Emo Song

Who knew Drumpf’s speeches were so similar to the emo songs of the early 2000’s?
Super Deluxe did. And they seem to have gone back in time to find the perfect emo singer to bring the whole thing to life.

Sorry, I can’t help myself.

I found this video yesterday.

It’s pretty cool.

Humor is the only thing that helps me live through this nightmare.

‘When you don’t earn respect, you earn disdain, scorn and mockery.”

~~Donald Trump’s Speeches As An Early 2000’s Emo Song~~

~~Published on Mar 26, 2017~~

We thought Drumpf’s tweets were as sad as it gets, until we turned his speeches into an early 2000’s emo song.

To start the day …. “A New Kind of Prom Date”!!

~~May 8, 2015~~ 

This gives me hope.

There seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. There’s hope in the young generation.

Maybe there won’t be any issue with them and being gay will be as accepted as being left-handed.

Dare I hope? I wish I was there to witness it.

Grab a tissue and watch this tearjerker video of Ellen hosting the two male high school students – one gay, one straight – who are going to their prom together because they’re best friends.

Anthony Martinez didn’t have a date for the prom. What his straight friend Jacob Lescenski did about that surprised everyone.

Ellen knew she had to hear their incredible story.

“You’re hella gay, I’m hella str8, but you’re like my brother so be my d8!,” Jacob wrote on a sign happily held by friends.

Those friends and many more rented a bus to join Anthony and Jacob on Wednesday on “The Ellen Show,” where Ellen DeGeneres interviewed the best friends and commended them for being great role models.

She also handed each of them a $10,000 check for their education, to help reinforce and show the world that gay or straight, nothing beats friendship.

Grab a tissue and watch this awesome video!

Ellen DeGeneres had a generous surprise in store this week for the gay-straight “couple” whose colorful proposal went viral last week in the blogosphere.

DeGeneres rewarded Jacob Lescenski and Anthony Martinez, who are juniors at the Desert Oasis High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a check for $10,000 each for the headline-making gesture.

“I just wanted to say I know that there are some schools out there that don’t support this and wouldn’t allow this to happen and it’s really a shame because prom is very important to a lot of people,”

she gushed in the interview, video of which can be found.

Lescenski, who is straight, revealed that he was initially apprehensive after he learned that the openly gay Martinez had a crush on him.

Still, the two struck up a seemingly unlikely friendship.

“At first I was kinda scared,” he said in the interview. “I didn’t support gay rights then, but I also wasn’t against them … [but] Anthony, actually, was the reason that I began to support gay rights. He’s such a convincing person, he can convince anyone of anything. He’s such a great speaker.”
