POPSForest Service warns Coloradans: Beware of camping Latinos More: Polly Baca, co-chairwoman of the Colorado Latino Forum, told the Denver Channel that the Forest Service warning is racist and ill-conceived and threatening. “It’s discriminatory and it puts Hispanic campers in danger.” Marvink Correa, spokesman for the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, said that the next time he goes camping, he would “be sure to play nothing but Bruce Springsteen.”

POPSSpringsteen Sings "The Rising," at Obama Rally A taste of Springsteen singing, 5 min. long. Two days before the election. Lots of other YouTubes about it, another song: "This Land is Your Land," can be found here, mixed with a hightlight of of Obama's speech. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytItUIoq2Wc&feature=related This is a good sample of what makes Obama supporters jump up and cheer; it's a good snapshot of what many Americans want to believe and see. This is pretty darn "Americana." Springsteen mentions that Philly (Philadelphia), is where the country began; Yes, in Philadelphia the Declaration of Independence of the 13 colonies from British rule was written and signed.

POPSBruce Springsteen says "VOTE OBAMA"! "In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple Near the relief office - I see my people And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin' If this land's still made for you and me."

POPS12 Weirdest Things Ever Insured Whiskey company Cutty Sark was offering a $1.5 million prize for capturing the mythical Scottish lake inhabitant, the Loch Ness Monster, alive. They then took out home insurance against paying this prize, just in case someone actually did capture it alive. During the 1930s, then 13 year old Harvey Lowe insured his hands for $150,000, which was a large sum of money at the time. Harvey was the Yo-Yo World Champion of that era, having been playing since he was 12. He is still yo-yoing and filling up his current account to this day.

POPSBo Diddley Dies In Florida At 79 Like B.B. King and other great blues and rhythm-and-blues artists, Diddley's first exposure to music came from church, in this case the Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church on Chicago's South Side. He learned to play the violin and the trombone. At age 12, Diddley took up the guitar after hearing John Lee Hooker's 1949 rhythm-and-blues hit, ``Boogie Chillen.'' ``Diddley claimed that playing the violin influenced his muted-string, choke-neck style of rhythm -- an early forerunner of funk that can be heard on songs like `Pretty Thing,''' the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame says in its official Bo Diddley biography.
