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.

The Newest Members Of The Public Enemies
Today,thanks to COPPA and Youtube,I can't fave ANY Vid that's labled "For Kids". Just to be clear,the vids I fave are content from the 80's and 90's that could be considered for the 8-12 demo,but said content is basically for everyone. I'm not into Baby Garbage.
This Is Really Really Stupid! And because of this The FTC (the revivers of COPPA) and Youtube have Earned a Place In The Public Enemies List!
They've pushed me too far.
Updated: Also,because They are the POSs responcable for Purposely creating The Coronavirus to show their might and lying about their involvement in tbe virus' creation,I've decided to add Xi Jinping and His Government to the Public Enemies List. Communists Suck!! Period!!
In closing,I Really,Really hope everyone is doing alright during this crisis. Stay Smart,Stay Healthy Stay Safe,Space Cowboys.

1 - End The SJW BS.
2 - Fix the Line-Ups (organize them) on The Disney Channel and Disney XD
3 - Improve the Quality of Disney+
4 - Stop With The Pointless Remakes. The Only Needed Remake is Hercules.
5 - Fix Freeform. We don't like the Femnazi BS.
6 - Treat Your Aquired Fox Properties Right.
7 - Improve The Quality of The Star Wars Franchise.
8 - Either Fire Kathleen Kennedy or Move Her To A Less Powerful Position.
9 - Utilize Hulu To It's Fullest Extent.
10 - Add Anime To Hulu.
11 - Improve The Disney Creative....and Keep It Great.
12 - Don't Buy-Out Anymore Major Media Organizations. For The Love of God,Please Don't! Instead,for strong relationships/partnerships with other companies. Much Better thqn Buying Them Out.
13 - Turn Disney Channel into a General Family Network and Disney XD into an All Animation Network.
14 - Make Ticket Prices For Tbe Parks And It's Attractions Cheaper!
15 - The Most Important Thing! Always Listen To The Fans! It's The Fans That Keep You Unbeatable! Lose The Fans,Lose Forever!

Until next time,Stay Gold,Space Cowboys.

The New CEO
2 weeks ago,Disney got itself a brand new CEO,Bob Chapek. Now,the reason why I didn't report this weeks ago is because it wasn't that urgent. Plus,Iger is staying on as chairmen until 2021,so Chapek might be taking orders from Iger himself.
Let's all hope that this isn't the case and this new honcho actually Listens to the Fans. It may be wishful thinking,but we'll see. Chapak is currently settling into his roll as CEO of Disney.
Join me next time as I make a Wish List of things Bob Chapek Should do to improve Disney.
Until then,Stay Gold,Space Cowboys!
