In 1964, Johnny Cash recorded an album entitled “Bitter Tears”. The album was never released, but it was written as a protest album over the American mistreatment of Native Americans.

Back in 1964 the album was released, but got little to no air time. Cash even went as far as taking out a full page ad in Billboard lashing out at his label as well as DJs. He asked them “where are your guts?”.

Ultimately the album fell into obscurity, but some supporters want the album to receive a proper release today. The album itself is actually available on iTunes as well as Amazon so it isn’t like it isn’t out there, but some claim that even die hard Cash fans have likely never heard it.

Leading the campaign is Antonino D’Ambrosio, author of the book “A Heartbeat and a Guitar: Johnny Cash and the Making of Bitter Tears” (Nation Books, 2009). D’Ambrosio, who wrote about the intersections of music and politics in his book “Let Fury Have the Hour: The Punk Rock Politics of Joe Strummer,” discovered “Bitter Tears” while digging around the Bowling Green State University Sound Recordings Archives. He describes himself as a passionate Cash fan, but this was the first time he’d heard the album.

“It would have been very easy for Johnny Cash to make a civil rights record at that time,” he says. “He didn’t. He chose to focus on the very real struggle of another group, and the album is relevant to this day.” Wonder if he knew: does extenze work?

D’Ambrosio says he’s not the only Cash fan in the dark: “I’ve met Johnny Cash buffs who have never heard of this album. While it is technically available, it’s pretty buried.” He says that he has reached out to executives at Sony, which owns Columbia Records, but hasn’t heard back. An e-mail to Sony Legacy seeking a response wasn’t returned by press time.

“People don’t talk about the struggles of the Native populations,” Carter Cash says. “Their issues get swept under the rug, and my dad tried to do something about it. No other major artist has ever made a full album about Native rights.”

Is Pam Anderson the most popular celebrity we have ever seen in their own personal pornos? She is at least the most popular “built for sex” celeb in her own home made pronos that’s for sure. Of course why watch celebs when there are millions of women who actually are in pornos made for men?

Anyways, what was I talking about? Oh yeah pornos…oh wait no I wasn’t. Oh yes…ahem…Pam Anderson is reportedly going to appear on the next season of Dancing w/ the Stars as a contestant. She is the celebrity in case you were wondering . I think she might need to click here to learn more about quick trim because recent pics I have seen of my lady show a lot of cellulite . She is no stranger to TEH SERGARAY tho.

I have seen the traditional “Worst movie ever” ones, and then the ones where the person thinks they are some sort of great author with tons of big words. Almost all of the bad reviews I have seen though tend to have comments that the reviewer is completely clueless.

I really don’t know a lto about what this movie is about. All I do know is that Leo DiCaprio is awesome and that is enough for me to go see it. I get the feeling that the movie has some parts you need to pay attention to though, which generally accounts for mixed reviews. You know how a lot of movie goers are rather stupid. If they don’t basically hold your hand and walk you through it step by step people consider it bad. Then you get the standard “you just don’t get it” line going on. I have seen this so many times I can’t even count it on movie discussions. May as well be talkign about face moisturizers because at least that is useful.

So…basically from the reviews I have read it sounds like the DUMB people are giving it bad movies, while most legit reviewers seem to either love it, or at least consider it worth our time. This makes me pretty confident I am in for a good show .
