Eulogy to the Flaymboyant Little Richard

Little Richard is by far the most important and flamboyant people in the world of music. One of the pioneers of Rock 'n Roll, he made the phrase,  "A Wop Bop a Loo Bop a Lop Bam Boom!", a part of pop culture history. I don't know much about his life and all, but I do have some memories of his influence in other media. For instance, one of his songs, Long Tall Sally, was played in a little movie called Predator. That's right. Long Tall Sally was played while Dutch Schaefer and his fellow soliders were heading to Central America for their mission. That song itself was indeed almost as memorable as the line, "Get to the Choppa!". Also, he not only did his version of the theme of Casper the Friendly Ghost (not only for the movie, but also the cartoon based on that movie), the last thing saw of him was in one of those Geico commercials, where he made the phrase "Mashed Potatoes, Gravy and Cranberry Sauce" more fun and flamboyant every Thanksgiving. Little Richard's influence didn't just effect movies and television, but also with wrestling. During his time in WCW, Marc Mero used Little Richard likeness for his wild persona of Johnny B. Badd. Why Mero didn't get sued over this, I'll never know. But, it was the 90s. What can you do.

In short, whether it's his flamboyancy, Long Tall Sally being immortalized in Predator, doing his take on the theme of Casper, making Thanksgiving a little more hip in the Geico commercials or inspiring Marc Mero to be like him (or lack therof), Little Richard had a "Wop Bop a Loo Bop a Lop Bam Boom" career and deserved his place in the pantheon of Rock 'n Roll. Tutti Fruti will never be the same without him. Godspeed, Little Richard. Thanks for all the memories. Be at peace, flamboyant one. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Program Block Ideas!

I haven't talked much about my "Fantasy" TV Network,Modern Vintage TV,lately So I thought it was about time I started talking about it again.

The Program Block was a very common thing back in the day,they were awesome and kept a Network organized too. Sadly,in todays Terrible World,The Program Block is nothing more than a memory.

So I think my Network should revive them. Here are a few ideas I have for Program Blocks.

Cartoon Express (Copyright Aquired) - A Weekday Afternoon block that's a total revival of The USA Network's Cartoon Express. Will have both new and old shows. Block starts at 3pm and ends at 5pm.

SatAM Superstars - A Saturday Morning Block. No details yet,but it will be mostly made up of new shows. Block starts at 8am and ends at 12pm.

The Saturday Arcade - A Block dedicaded to Video Game based game shows and eSports. Block starts at 1pm and ends at 5pm.

Action Xtreme Team (Copyright Aquired) - A Sunday Morning Action and Adventure Show Block. Block starts at 8am and ends at 11am.

NeoJetix (Copyright Aquired) - A Friday Night Action/Adventure Anime Block. Block starts at 7pm and ends at 11pm.

Geek Omniverse - A Saturday Evening Block dedicated to All Things Geek-Centric. Block starts at 6pm and ends at 11pm.

And that's all I can tbink of at the moment. I think I covered all of tbe bases nessesary so I'll end things here.

Also,I'm still working on my SNES Tribute,so I haven't forgotten about that.

Until Next Time,
Stay Gold,Space Cowboys.
