Win Free Music!!! - The Ziggy Marley Family Time Contest.

I get lots of freebies sent to me from time to time, and usually disregard them. But the fine folks at Tuff Gong Records sent me a few copies of a very special project I want to share with ya'll.

Ziggy Marley is bringing music to the LITTLE people! He is releasing his first children’s album and has invited some family and pretty cool friends to join him on it. Jack Johnson, Laurie Berkner, Elizabeth Mitchell and Jamie Lee Curtis are only a few of the artists featured on the CD Family Time, which is now in stores. In addition to some well known classics like “This Train” and “Hold Him Joe” Ziggy has written many original songs on this release which are endearing tributes to his family with many sage words of wisdom for kids.



AB.com has free copies of the CD to give away to the first 5 people who email me answers to the following trivia questions.
Name 3 of Ziggy’s siblings.

What was the name of Ziggy's band?

What is Ziggy’s real first name?

Which Marley ruined Lauryn Hill's career?

How did Bob Marley die?
Again, please do not leave your answers in the comments section!!! The first 5 folks who email me with the correct answers get the prizes, courtesy of Tuff Gong Records.

Amazing Freestyle.

I'll admit, I wrote Hurricane Chris off as your typical LCD rapper after "Ay Bay Bay" and that ignant "Halle Berry" song. No, he isn't saying anything particularly enlightening here, but he's clearly going off the dome. On Shade 45 the other day I heard this guy go for a solid 20 minutes without even needing to pause for breath.



Hate all you want, but subject matter aside, that's talent.

Dumbest GOP Political Ad Evar?!?

Peep this latest campaign tactic from The Party Of No (Clue)....



Ahh, the multitude of wrongness...

The dog was a gift for the President's children, given by a fellow colleague. No tax money was involved.

The Wizards tickets aren't $500 each. They're $885. Epic fail! If you're gonna throw up an arbitrary number just to shame a person for a night out, at least use a higher number and/or round up. Why they picked a basketball game, rather than say, a night at the Opera or an expensive date-night dinner in Georgetown is beyond me. I doubt taxpayer money (other than the President's salary) paid for the game tickets. They were likely a gift as well, but who's counting?

The "cool photo for his website" was unauthorized, and the genius behind it got canned. Apparently the "cool photos" taken during prior administrations were fine.

Giving $787,000,000,000 to your "political cronies" is an insult to every "political cronie" that's being saved by unemployment benefits, stimulus jobs, COBRA benefit extensions, and yes, billions in tax cuts.

This whole MasterCard parody thing was played out 2 administrations ago. I guess the Budweiser "Whaaaaasssup?" parody is next. Way to stick with the times, guys. Then again, nobody ever accused the GOP of being creative.
Here's a new slogan, based on the same played out premise.

Control of House, Senate, and Negro At 1600 Penn Ave... Priceless.

Question: Is this a dumb commercial or what? Does the RNC lack ideas, or are they too busy undermining Michael Steele to come up with anything original?
