Jitterbug MOLE PHONE [by request from cont, AB]
I am not one to judge people's looks—oh, no!—but when you leave a movie and all you can remember is the star's giant mole, it can certainly have you tossing your popcorn. Some luminaries (e.g., Cindy Crawford) can wear such a thing with charm and ease and it actually becomes an asset, especially if they can move its location around at whim. With others (no names mentioned), it becomes like the rollerball in Raiders of the Lost Arc, steamrolling over their looks, their movie, and their entire career with more menace than a wronged whore on speed.
The Jitterbug is a phone and carrier tailored to the needs of the elderly. It's not the hottest phone to come out this year, but it's probably the only one you won't have to explain to your grandparent over and over.
The Jitterbug offers a “pay as you go” plan that ranges from ten dollars a month to eighty dollars a month with no roaming fees and no contracts. Your plan minutes are good for ninety days and you have the option of buying add on minutes which are good for a year. At Jitterbug the goal is to make cell phone purchase and usage as easy and worry free as possible. Accessories include a “smart charger” that reminds the individual to charge their Jitterbug and also when they need to have their phone updated. They offer a beaded lanyard to secure the phone safely in reach to avoid searching for it and in case of emergency.
The Jitterbug Phone is a cell phone produced by Samsung and designed to be easier to use for Seniors. It features larger buttons, brighter lights, better quality sound, 24/7 live customer support that helps you with a directory service as well as adding contacts to your list and placing calls for you. All of these make cell phone use more friendly and logical for those who have trouble with typical devices.
Hounddog: Dakota Fanning [ESCAPES HOMELESSNESS AND RAPE TRAUMA THRU ELVIS MUSIC - DVD RELEASE]

Hounddog- the controversial 2007 movie starring Dakota Fanning - is scheduled for release on DVD later this month.
The story is about a young girl whose inescapable, unhappy homeliness distinguish the music of Elvis Presley.
The King is coming , and Lewellen will score tickets, which lands her in the most undesirable circumstantial painless rape, but the pimple-erupted milky man's face shows adolescent rape doesn't always mean no means no.
The "Hound Dog"-half-Elvis ghost before Las Vegas heard a record written himself and beheld the secondhand witless.
Elvis popped meds & suitable groupies' interviewing university quartermasters .
Dakota Fanning’s controversial role in upcoming film Hounddog is finally making its way to the theaters on September 17th. The movie, a drama set in the American South, where a precocious, troubled girl (Fanning) finds a safe haven in the music and movement of Elvis Presley includes a scene in which Lewellen (played by Dakota) is raped by her playmate named Buddy.
The take dozen’t actually reveal any nudity, and was described by the director as “tastefully shot” amidst public scrutiny of the content, namely because Dakota is about 10 years of Unholy Goethe Dakota Fanning Project, in which the 12-year-old actress gets raped on screen. Like controversy? The film stars rural southern yarns opening slightly(AKA ahem, controversial) Fanning is LOLA Lewellen, a radiant tween who passes the time tween playing doctor tween her best bud Buddy and tween dreaming of becoming the tween Elvis Presley (a girl can dream tween $10, tween the the plane around).
And lucky for me -- or was I here just to catch a buzz at 'Hounddog-fest, Hounddogyears winner for argument in the shower, --arrived. Authoritative time . Me taste the seat-quicklime full Sundae-- leave it up to y'all to debate.
The moral of the film (Fanning is at least 21 by now?) is sensitivity of subject that the Fanning spends a large chunk of the movie in her drawers-- compelling, corporeal nuance, but I found more disturbing the athletic Asshard rape scene , where "all the wrongness in the metaphoric grass " literally, two coldblooded snakes every character in the Sorry film gets bitten .
I think to myself:
"Would somebody get these mutant naff headed, ***iz more childbearing. "Watch!"

ROSS JOHNSON - BARON OF LOVE (PT. 2) [ALEX CHILTON: LIKE FLIES ON SHERBERT] MOST Ross Johnsonest post ever!
SPECIAL JAPANESE INTRODUCTION QUOTE NOW:
"Maybe some of the strange times. But he, in a sloppy manner in which it is his feeling was that, like him it's like pure rock ..." JAPANESE FAN ON 'BARON Of LOVE'
'Make It Stop!
The Most of Ross Johnson'
The Most of Ross Johnson'
The PANTHER BURNS 1979 Memphis clusterfuck fomented something in its 'cult of no-personality' scene. It brought together the horde of shut-ins, and provided art-damaged therapy, propagated via Tav Falco and his unapproachable tool, borrowed from other famous cult leaders--quasi-babblespeak with plenty of musical accompaniment.
This cult called 'PANTHER BURNS,' named after an apocryphal [also cult-inspired] legend, unverifiable and orally passed from plantation to cotton field, where 'you know who' thought they saw 'you know what'--ON FIRE, smack dab in Mississippi's cottony Delta.
The lineup consisted of Alex Chilton (guitar), Tav (Gustavo) Falco (vocals, Silvertone guitar), Jim Dickinson (guitar), Eric Hill (synth), and our man of the hour--the reason we're here--the greatest one-handed, beer-drinking timekeeper since the man from Munchen held a metronome and a Weissbier simultaneously-yodeling: Ross Johnson (standup drums).
LIKE FLIES ON SHERBERT:
1978's 'LFOS', recorded at Sam Phillips Studios, mixed the following year; released as a 500-copy piped-ream in 1979 on SID SELVIDGE's, Peabody, then one year later on Aura, and finally by Patrick Mathe's French, New Rose in 1996, and which has since those markers grown into the greatest cult record of 'em all, in my opinion..
The album is divided between Chilton originals and Nashville bar band covers [think: Lower Broad, 1971, band rider includes Dexamyl].
This 'Flies' from which 'Baron of Love' is taken was remastered by Dickinson, who says it's "...as good as it's going to get," which in Memphis can mean two entirely disparate things.
ROSS JOHNSON will forever be remembered for "Baron Of Love Pt. 2"--the only non-LX vocal track on 'LFOS' [although LX makes known the spirit of the recently departed Baron/Elvis, in this, Ross's Tallboy-fueled, extempore-eulo-billy seance/monologue, like someone who's kin to Jerry Clower and Jerry Lewis/Jerry Lee Lewis on Percodan and passing the coffin].
*Orig. track from Alex Chilton's 'Like Flies on Sherbert' produced by Jim Dickinson
From Ross Johnson's Goner Records' self-defecating 25ish-year retrospective, autobiographically titled,
'Make It Stop! The Most of Ross Johnson'
John W. Sparks directed this recent montage to the original track, and for a montage to 'Baron of Love,' to say, 'i liked this better than the book,' would have been the version directed by William Eggleston, Alexander Jadorosky, and that guy that used to hang out by the 'Tennae and dance [or was that the dt's?]/
But i've gotta give it to him-- he gave it a lot of perspective for us purists to compare and contrast.
