Cindy McCain Claims She’s “Just Like Any Other Female Human.”

Most music fans know that Prince is a great guitarist. The below video is of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” in tribute of George Harrison in 2004. On stage are Bob Seger and Prince (who were inducted that year) along with Tom Petty and what appears to be George Harrison’s son.

While this video displays Prince’s incredible guitar playing, it is interesting to note that a few weeks prior to the performance, Rolling Stone listed their top 100 guitarists of all time and Prince was not on that list. The same evening Prince was inducted the founder of Rolling Stone was also inducted. It’s hard to imagine that in some way Prince didn’t play his ass off to show up the magazine, but being Prince, he probably didn’t even care. Either way, this is one hell of a solo.

All credit for this goes to Douglas Rushkoff for the heads up.

In this current end time when the sky is falling and the four horseman of the Apacolypse are surely running wild, it’s always nice to see people pulling together and giving something back. Arthur Magazine is a bi-monthly, free counter-culture magazine that a lot of interesting people I read contribute to. Douglas Rushkoff being one of them. A few months back one of Arthur’s founders, Jay Babcock, issued a proclamation asking for money to keep the magazine afloat. Now that the magazine is doing better and people’s retirement are more or less gone, Arthur is willing to give back the money people donated. Below is the post Jay made on Arthur’s website.

Thanks to all who donated cash to Arthur when we really needed it back in June. Arthur is doing better now, but times are getting scarier for many of us with each passing day. In the spirit of generosity that you showed to us, we would like to make this offer: if you gave to Arthur back in June and are now in real financial jeopardy, please let us know by sending a money request to us via the same PayPal account you used to send us money in June. We will get your money back to you as soon as possible. As Lewis Hyde says in his book The Gift, we’ve got to keep the money moving. Even if all we’ve got are credit cards…

Stay strong, generous and peaceful,

Jay Babcock
Arthur Magazine

Nice to see something like this. Yes, a positive news story.
