The ring of fire! and You were alwys on my mind

Adam Lambert's version of the Johnny Cash classic "Ring of fire" was one of the highlights of last nights American Idol. It was a cross between Axl rose and Elvis with a Beatles middle eastern influence. I will also add that he appears to be possessed by Pattie Labelle. I thought it was fabulous and apparently the audience did as well. As typical Simon did not get it. Lets just hope America got it because you have to be crazy to not realize that this boy has chops.

Now I don't know for sure if this is where he got the idea but it is very similar to the version he did but he took it and put his own spin on it and made that shit his.



And the other standout was Anoop Desai or as he is also know as Anoop Dogg. His version of the the Willie Nelson Classic always on my mind was a fresh take and the arrangement was totally country-politan. Also special props go out to all of the other contestants who were also great.


This is elmysterio and I'm out.

Harlow Cuadra is sentenced to Life in prison

Harlow Cuadra has been sentenced to Life in prison. After testimony by his mother and his attorneys pleading for his life and testimony from a psychiatrist his fate was in the hands of the jury. The prosecution is claiming that Harlow is the one who did the killing while Harlow says it was Joseph Kerekes. The defenses argument was that Joseph was very controlling and he was the one who planned this. Harlow testified that he was afraid for his life and that is why he did not tell the police. The jury did not appear to be moved by Harlow's testimony on the witness stand and they convicted him of first degree murder. The Jurors did not even look at Harlow as they walked just a few feet away from him when they left the court room. After some confusion with the parameters for sentencing they ultimately sentenced him to life in prison.
