Notes in News: What's Really Going?! on &Stuff..

Hey people, I know it's been awhile since I have posted.. the entire 'holiday season' I was sick.. Can we just get a few things, off our chest, since I've been away awhile? Well, mine anyways..Someones always trying to get it twisted- in the news media- why is that? keepin it short..

Persons who keep it real  and  who to watch out for..I high five these- alleged trouble makers below ..
.... :.
Go Ricky Go

Ricky Gervais- he hosted The Golden Globes.. The guy was freakin brilliant! totally hilarious! It was one of the best Golden Globby's ever. NOT, stale and boring.. he was great last year as well...you know it. Can people get a freakin sense of humour? We yawn at these boring award shows; kissing people's asses, so fake and phoney- Ricky G. kept it real..  ( that's why I love BET award shows- not overly censored ) There was nothing mean spirited  or over the top on his gig, stop trippin.. Well done Ricky- I applaud you for your genius..You were funny, I laughed so hard. And in these current times.. we could all use some laughs-carry on!~ :)

Piers Morgan- Say What?

Give the guy a break, he just took over Larry King's spot. I like his interviewing style.. People are bitchin about Piers already? C'mon- shut up..If I could suggest a guest it would be Geoff Baker- who is coming out with two new books. Rock Bottom & Beatles Fanthology,,Two Brits, bantering back and fourth.. I believe, that interview, would be dark, fun & naughty- something from two cerebral journalist's :) The British keep it real and blunt honest, something Americans can learn from ., The only one close to this is Howard Stern,  you  know it's true..

Keith Olbermann-Losers MSNBC

MSNBC_ freakin Epic Fail by ousting Keith O. The guy was a refreshing talent on the air; speaking to the left the middle and inbetween, to the little guy. against the big guy of liars & pychopaths..I'm gonna miss Keith Olbermanns, Countdown, his skits, his humor, his passion; his  passion for getting the truth out to America, on Politics .. life and what the Right & Coporate America fail to tell you.. Do you like to be lied too? I say boycott MSNBC period, who was just acquired by those greedy bastiffs Comacast..I salute you Mr. Olberman for your superb reporting in television journalism.. Worst persons in the world MSNBC...

Geoff Baker Rock Bottom

Former PR guy to Paul McCartney, Geoff Baker to release his first novel Rock Bottom- about a Rock Star & the music industry.. This should be a tasty and interesting read .. I have no details as of yet..Geoff is an intersting person and journalist, without a doubt..you can't help but love the guy and his charm; his flare for writing, that I have always, enjoyed- no boring burnt toast with Geoff- more details soon~ I'm extremely happy for Geoff on his up coimg book...I'm soo looking forward to reading it- Paul Bring back Geoff..

...........................................

As for me, I just had knee surgery. Owww- so I'm off on medical leave.. I'm still out on American Idol.. Liken Steven Tyler - missin Simon Cowell.. It took me awhile to write this post- that's what pain meds will do for you.. I wish you all a happy New Year- and look forward to some Paul McCartney jaunts..this up coming year..
I can't believe the blasting  of those mentioned above..why, for their honesty?  all super talents in their own right..let's show some support for their, creative genius, and let em be who they are - Real..Carry on gentlemen- You Rock!

McCartney/hb~

Cooper-Williams

been watching the unrest in Cairo-  UNREAL~
as we all know, what went from peaceful demonestrations too attacks against  protesters; now  attacks of western journalist's is appalling.. very upsetting..I commend Anderson Cooper, Brian Williams and others for their bravery; in attempting, to tell the REAL story going on in Egypt..  The world is watching..What does the Egyptian Government have to hide with these attacks on journalists;  and protesters..preventing  journalists to report the news to the rest of the world; pretending this is not going on-right?- wishing it will magically go away..hoping to sweep it under the rug is - nonsense..We have all seen the footage!-   You might be able to BS a slim few ,, But, Egypt's government cannot BS the rest of the World...

 started by a rogue few?
wasn't that a statement by the Dictator himself?
-now going so far as to blame the reporting journalists for creating the chaos- is utter crap.. The images and video confirm the real story- happening in Tahrir Square..It's becoming a blood bath.. It reminds me of the movie Spartacus- The video images are so powerful.. Is this what one has to pay for, for the  price of FREEDOM ? OK, I shouldn't ask.   I pray for the safety on those wanting democracy- and for those reporting it..

Geoff Baker Keith Richards article the Mail

*

I know Geoff admires Keith Richards-smile

In other news I happened to come upon a great lil article written by Geoff Baker and friend

(I don't know the other guy) from the Mail.co.uk about Keith Richards, who is about to...GET THIS- release an OL classic easy listening....album? huh...Say what?!

a snippet here from Geoff's article:

*

the man who famously declared ‘rehab is for quitters’ –(lmao) looks set to do the one thing no one ever expected: release an easy-listening album.

Remarkably, it could include a polished jazz version of the Judy Garland classic Somewhere Over The Rainbow from The Wizard Of Oz and a tear-jerking homage to country star Tammy Wynette in the song Apartment No 9.
More than 20 never-released covers by the Rolling Stones guitarist have been leaked on the Internet and are proving a huge hit with the few fans in the know.

( where is that link Geoff? I'd love to hear a snippet) I left a comment but of course the 'Mail" didn't post it, sheeesh. Wanna read more about K. Richards Geoff's article? see here

Paul Mac's ex-PR man turns down £150k book offer

Mac’s ex-PR man turns down £150k book offer

from AxeGrinder

Good news for Sir Paul McCartney – his former PR man, Geoff Baker, claims he has turned down an offer of £150,000 to write a book about his time working for the ex-Beatle.
Baker is currently writing a novel, Diary of a Madman, which is updated daily on his blog. The novel is about a music PR man losing his mind while working for a rock star, although Baker insists “the book is not about me, Paul, my family, my friends or anybody or any event that I have actually experienced”.

On Monday, Baker, a former showbusiness editor of the Daily Star, wrote on his blog:
“If I was writing for money I wouldn’t have turned down the latest offer of £150,000 up front to pen my Mcmemoirs and I wouldn’t be smoking roll-ups; well, not roll-ups this small.”

He also reveals he has just been sacked from his PR role for pop band Purplemelon “over some matter of annoyance at my persistence in saying ‘that won’t work, it’s a crap idea’, so I’ve returned to freelancing features for Her Majesty’s Press and am about to start whoring myself out as a columnist for any who will have me but most likely The Lung Disease Gazette.”

Baker was working as a freelance journalist when he began working for Macca in 1989. They parted company in acrimonious fashion in 2004.

HB take: Let me be clear, Geoff Baker wouldn't write such a book about Paul McCartney

OK, wow, Geoff no wonder I haven't heard bout Purplemelon lately, that is a shame.

Now a few years ago, Mr. Baker -as some of us call him Geoff,. informed us he would be writing a few books/novels, nothing of the sort would he write about Paul McCartney or his employ with Paul, as he was loyal to Paul and to family he was firm on this. (haters would disagree.)

He said something to the fact he would rather stick a lite cigarette in his eye. I cannot recall at this time what Geoff told us exactly, it was probably something far worse than what I wrote above.
Some fans, who have kept in touch with Geoff in recent years, had encouraged Geoff to write his books, since he is a brilliant writer.
I can say with certainty he loved the fans,. from my experience and treated them with fun, respect and dignity, as he would want to be treated., I suspect he could spot out the fakes and these were the ones that would get pissed off at Geoff for not providing them favors, I have seen it for myself.

Geoff is a real person, not fake, unlike some in Paul McCartney's current employ. We all have issues that need work, else we would not be human. Geoff is a a big Beatles's lover like most of us that love em.
Give Geoff Baker a break, and haters stop making him look like a villain. Geoff, is a decent person, with a wicked sense of humour, a great PR man, writer, and a true friend. He is tho, NO Howard Hughes.~smile.

We Miss You Geoff -hugs, the mob!!

ps. I'd love to post Geoff a vid, but I'm not sure which one? I'd also like to add, any British News paper would be lucky to have such a man, as Geoff. I hope he gets his own column, he desrves it. I pray a publisher picks up on any one of his works-books and publishes them. Your day will come again Geoff, I just know it!!
