Ringo in Cement – What If It Keeps On Snowing? – Eagles Fiftieth Anniversary
ICE STATION PHILADELPHIA-
After this.
After this, a three inch snowfall will become a minor event.
Philadelphia and eastern Pa. may bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Newspapers may stop printing during major snowstorms. What’s the use? You may never find the papers anyway, buried under two feet of snow.
After this.
You may have to “reserve” basic food supplies at your favorite market.
Schools may take summer break in July.
There could be a major local baby boom in November.
RINGO TAKES A WALK OF FAME -
Long overdue, Ringo Starr got his place in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I say long overdue because the full impact of Ringo’s role with the Beatles has never been fully appreciated. I know. I was there.
Ringo was part of the glue that held the Beatles together. He was (is) a great drummer, and was key to the Beatles early success. His stage presence was incredible. It’s easy to forget how important the drummer was in completing the fab foursome. It’s also easy to forget the role that Ringo played in resurrecting the careers of so many artists in the 20 years since he began the All-Starr-Tour.
EAGLES 50th-
For those of you planning ahead, there’s quite a show Sunday night at 9:30 on the Comcast Network. I’ll be hosting a Voice of Reason broadcast, saluting the 50th anniversary of the Eagles championship victory over the Green Bay Packers. Our guests include Chuck Bednarik, Ray Didinger, Stan Hochman, and the author of a book on Chuck’s life. For those of you too young to remember, Chuck, considered the greatest Eagle of all time, played 58 minutes of the game, as center on offense and linebacker on defense.
The show cannot be cancelled by snow. It has already been recorded.

Waiting in the warm SS SUV for the 7:01. It could be another scene from ‘The Shining’ today at the White House. What have we done to deserve this snow? Where have we gone wrong? Could it be our misplaced priorities on ‘Global Warming’? We’ll call this winter the curse of Al Gore. That nitwit is killing us in abstentia from obscurity. Maybe we should plunk him down on an iceberg in Antarctica.
Did you see the posturing yesterday? Barack meeting with the GOP leaders. I think he maybe onto a new strategy. The Tea Partiers were complaining about him not listening to the GOP and doing things behind closed doors. And rightfully so. Now he spends painful time with equally cheeky people like Boehner and McConnell and gets full press exposure. He pretends to be listening and playing nice. He pretends to be bipartisan. He pretends to open up heathcare to open debate. At the end of the day he does what he wants but gets a free pass because he “tried transparency and bipartisan but it didn’t work”. Clever strategy. I’m not buying it but it may fool the majority of America. He’s already done that once. That’s how we got ourselves into this complete mess.
Lord Abott I’m begging you not to encourage Larry to bash Sarah Palin or any other Republican until he has thotoughly bashed Barack and the Democratic Congress. He has given them a free ride like the press. (Note I do not include Larry as a member of the press anymore) Sarah Palin is what she is. She does not speak for conservative America or Americans. She is a self promoting politician trying to capitalize on her 15 minutes of fame. Ignore her. Do not give her the time of day. Do not prop her up by giving her more meaning or justification than she deserves. She’s a backwoods nitwit like Al Gore or John Edwards or Strom Thurman or George W Bush. Ignore her. Do not prop her up.
Impeachment in 2010! It’s the only thing we have to look forward to this year.

Larry you are to be commended for your daily blog topic changes. Keep up the good work no matter what your reason or motivation is.
You are making great progress my friend. Bipartisan bashing. News Flashes that are closer to flashes than ticking timebombs. We salute you. Three more areas for improvement before you rest on your laurels.
1) Put some thought into blogs. They come across as shallow and thoughtless drivel. Take a stand. Make a point. Spend another 10 minutes when you are doing these.
2) Participate. There was a time when Larry Kane blogmeister became Larry Kane (red name – dark gray blog box). Come off your high horse and comment on your commentors. We are all big boys and girls. We can take criticism. God knows you have.
3) Stick to commenting on topics and subjects that you are familiar with. Sports is not your gig. If you insist on commenting on sports get a second opinion first.
Impeachment in 2010! If Larry can change so can Barack.

Virtual Whiteout on website today!
Larry is NOT aware that Paul McCartney
does NOT have a star on the Hollywood walk of
fame. One would think McCartney desrved one
before Ringo, but Larry is the self proclaimed
Beatles expert- so I guess NOT???
Wasn’t there a band with a one armed drummer ? Maybe the drummer isn’t so important.
The sock puppets simply can;t get traction with the constant blog change.Tina Tuna & her ilk are being left behin
5.
not sure what happened there but as I was saying,the sock puppets can’t keep up,Larry’s “surge” appears to be working.
I don’t think the heavy stuff is gonna come down for quite a while.
Larry is on a sugar high from eating junk food
couped up in the house. He is also working on
Mrs Kane’s last nerve!
Remind me not to have Larry write my epitaph. “Ringo in Cement” sent shivers down my spine. I also don’t want Lord Abott to edit my next publication. He tried to spell cooped up “couped up”. This guy should be shoveling my sidewalk.
Ringo you should be servicing my dog.
Ringo will service your “dog” as long as you keep your other dog on a leash.
Do you know that it costs 25,000 dollars to have a star on the walk of fame? I couldn’t afford it after my last divorce, otherwise I would have bought two.
Maybe I spoke too soon.
Ringo was “part of the glue that held the Beatles together” …… for almost 6 years. I think the other part of the glue was not so sticky, especially when you consider “The Rolling Stones” still perform as a group today, almost as long as the last football championship in Philadelphia.
Mayor Nutter called the snow plow operators “snow fighters”. Has he been attending the Larry Kane school of communication? I’ve heard of fire fighters amd crime fighters but I’ve never heard of snow fighters.
The Beatles are the most over-rated rock and roll band in the history of Rock music. After the boomers are gone the Beatles will receed to their appropriate place in musical history. Robert Johnson invented rock music and Mick Jagger has the decency to credit him. The Beatles were derivative and stars as a result of Ameican promoters telling a captive televison audience this is what’s good. Their timing was lucky becasue it caught the boomers at a rebellious moment in time and at an impressionable age. In the modern era of media where consumers decide what’s good instead of Ed Sullivan et al, there would be no Beatles and fawning fans who raise their musical mediocrity to that of some high art form. Lennon’s assination just increased the legend. He was a pot headed anti-American and a socialist full of his own hypocritical crap that passed as insight and wisdom to the ignorant boomer masses. Why were the Beatles such pigish tax evaders if they cared so much about their fellow citizens? Give me a break!
Just as the Beach Boys were hitting their stride along came the four mop tops who ruined everything. Why couldn’t those guys just have stayed in England? If not for them I would have not reduced myself to a drug induced hasbeen before the age of 25.
Speaking of drugs, I’m sure Larry got caught up in the life style considering how lame his blog is.
Boys…..boys….. lets not fight. Let’s leave the fighting up to the snow plowers. They are the ones with IPods who are listening to the crap that is called music today. You couldn’t pay me enough to listen to todays’ music.
Snow plowers are now to be referred to as “Snow Fighters” according to Mayor Nutter.
If you guys really want to have fun, go check out Larry’s new Face Book page, entiltled Ticket to Ride. He has moved into the 21st century and is making a full court press for the success of his big Show. Let’s all be supportive, he’s really working hard. And I dont want to see any of you fools going to his facebook page with the nonsense and criticism we engage in here! he has real fans now who use their real names!
Who knows I might make an appearence at Larry’s shindig. God knows he’s going to need some help selling this show.
Ticket to Beride!
Cograts on the Facebook Lars, looks great!
Snookie from Jersey Shore has over 90,000
fans. That you have less than 140 is not
something you should take persoally. After
40 years as Dean of News it still takes time
to build a following. But seriously, it looks
good, and I’m going to take my wife to your
show, so it better be off the hook good!
Snow. I remember lots of snow at the TV news rooms. Snowblowing they used to call it.
