Auto-tune, 911 and IT'S FOOTBALL!!! and Twisty Glass Blunts

 DJ and I watched 911: Inside the President's War Room  and I urge all americans to watch this on APPlE TV - worth a few month subscription.  

Suspend your liberal and conservative feelings about the players.  They are shown to be actual humans in a LOT stress.  This is not about policy but about emergency and the fog of war.  Even Karl Rove has a heart as he sheds tears and there are so many things I did not know even though I obsess over everything 911. 

For instance - as the President was in Air Force One in the air there was REAL fear that there was someone inside that plane that meant to kill Bush.  NOBODY knew the secret call sign of Air Force One . . . . . but "Angels Next" over the radio put the fear in them.  The were "Angel".  

Also the pilot of AF1.   There was a threat of someone at the end of the runway in FLA so he turned the plane around on take off and told everybody to SIT DOWN - you will NEVER have a 747 take off more vertical.  The passengers were FREAKED.  

There is no satellite TV on AF1.  They only got news when they flew over a city.   The Situation room had a dangerous lack of oxygen. 

THREE towers collapse, not just two.   It's an outstanding documentary with unseen footage and interviews - OUTSTANDING! You see all the players as humans.  Highly recommended and heart pounding exciting (in a sad way) 

minute by minute what was happening with our government on that day.  WOW!

We all hate Auto-tune right?  WELL - seems it has been auto-tuning performers since the 1960s. The Beatles used auto-tune on their albums.   It was only Cher that found the magic dial used incorrectly on "Believe" that ruined music forever.  Auto-tune was an industry secret for 3 decades.  

I have near perfect pitch and live performances are always flat or sharp when you hear a note.  But it's not noticed for the most part.  From the documentary on auto-tune David Bowie was one of the few that never really needed auto-tune. 

This is POP - Netflix

OH - I want to give a HUGE Congrats to former Columbus Mayor Kelly Crombie who will become the City Admin for Fox Lake.  I find it curious he is going to be the City Admin over ANOTHER Mullins drive up restaurant.   I think there is a larger plan in place here.  (insert evil laugh).

I got Tampa Bay at -8 tonight!   (Brady is 101-65 at home but that was not why I took them) The reason was the line opened at -6.5 and is now -9.5.  Pretty big move with a lot of smart money all over TB. 

Aaron Rodgers is 62-36 ATS at home and 57-50 ATS on the road.   91-36 ATS as a favorite and 74-59 ATS v non-division. 

Even though the packer "D" scares the crap out of me (the "D" coach has never coached a defense that has given up LESS then 24 points a game)  I still have the Packers at -4.5 (now -4 but not a big deal  "4" is not a meaningful point after "3". 

Plus Jacksonville will be full of Packer fans as it normally is. The line went for -3 to -4.5 when they changed venues.

Twisty Glass Blunts are awesome - a must have.  You take out the screw thing and fill part way with  . .tobacco.  Then screw it back in.  When you take a puff of . . tobacco it burns of course. Then when that part is burned you screw clockwise and the ash falls off and you have new tobacco and it's a VERY cool draw. Works GREAT.   The slim holds 1.3 grams.  The Super Twisty holds 2 ounces LOL
