President Obama Singing The Blues At The White House Tuesday Night!

Charlie Tuna — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 11:04:11 +0000

President Barack Obama back in the singing spotlight at a White House blues show, as Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger urged him to step up and sing a few lines. “Not tonight!” President Obama begged off, but blues legends B.B. King and Buddy Guy also joined in the cajoling to sing along to the classic ” Sweet Home Chicago.” To cheers from the audience, a smiling Obama sang parts of the tune, an ode to his adopted hometown, originally made famous by the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. Earlier President Obama told the audience, “Some nights when you want to go out and just take a walk, clear your head, or jump into a car just to take a drive, you can’t do it. Secret Service won’t let you. And that’s frustrating. But then there are other nights where B.B. King and Mick Jagger come over to your house to play for a concert. So I guess things even out a little bit,” he joked. The entire night’s music event will be broadcast on PBS as part of a celebration of Black History Month on February 27th!

NBC Breaks New Ground Introducing A Series Pilot Online! Take A Look!

Charlie Tuna — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 06:53:08 +0000

For the first time, NBC is actually posting an entire pilot episode of their new series “Awake” premiering on March 1st online, before it hits your TV screen! Detective Michael Britten wakes up from a car accident with his wife and teenage son, he learns the devastating news that his wife died in the crash. Trying to put the pieces of his life back together, he wakes up a few days later to realize that his wife is very much alive and his son died in the accident! Did he lose his wife or his son? Or neither of them?? The premise here revolves around you could actually have everything you wanted, just not all at the same time, and dealing with alternating realities and not really wanting either “reality” to go away when the totality of both means having your family complete? Like the series notes say, the power of the mind, where the inception of life is a mystery and reality might just be overrated.

Gas Prices Rising Rapidly, Here’s Where To Find Cheapest Fuel!

Charlie Tuna — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 07:55:43 +0000

Gasoline prices have never been higher this time of the year in the U.S. At $3.53 a gallon, prices are already up 25 cents since January 1. And experts say they could reach a record $4.25 a gallon by late April. California already has topped the $4 a gallon mark this past weekend, and with rising oil prices, some are even predicting $5 a gallon gas by Memorial Day. Oil imported by U.S. refineries and turned into gasoline and other fuels has risen 11 percent so far this year, to around $119 a barrel, because of tensions with Iran, a cold snap in Europe and rising demand from developing nations. West Texas Intermediate, used to price oil produced in the U.S., is up 4 percent to around $103 a barrel. That’s 19 percent higher than a year earlier. A 25-cent jump in gasoline prices, if sustained over a year, would cost the economy about $35 billion.
