Associated Press

Commonly abreviated as AP, the Associated Press is an American news agency run by the media sources that contribute to it. It is the largest news agency in the world and has subscribers (people who pay a fee to use AP's material) in almost every free-market economy nation in the world.

The AP is made up of almost 2,000 American newspapers and about 5,000 TV/radio stations while its photo library has exceeded 10 million pictures of news.

Although the AP tries to remain unbiased some occasional yellow journalism and personal biases are included in media information.
I couldn't help but notice that almost every article about a national event was writen by the Associated Press in today's newspaper.

Lemmy

Lemmy, the nickname for Ian Fraser Kilmister, is a singer and bassist for the speed metal band Motorhead.

Lemmy has been the only consistent member of Motorhead since the first lineup was created in 1975. Over the years several musicians have filled the spots at the drums and guitar but Lemmy stayed consistent.

Lemmy also has had several reoccuring problems with drugs. In fact in 2005 he openly stated that he believed that heroin use should be legalized, saying that it would eliminate the drug dealers from society. Lemmy has made other controversial statements regarding drugs even when he was a member of Hawkwind.

Grateful Dead

1. The one and only band you need to be aware of.

2. An alcoholic drink. Typically made like this: fill a pint glass with ice. Add 1/2 oz of the following: vodka, gin, light rum and tequila. Fill almost to the top with either sour or sweet & sour mix. Shake or stir vigorously if no shaker is available. Add straw and drink. Bartenders will typically leave more space than usual when adding sour or sweet & sour mix and will top with equal parts of Chambord/razzmatazz and Blue Curacao to create a color effect for presentation. No matter which way you make it this drink NEVER gets any kind of garnish unless specifically requested by a customer.
