Seth Rogen, pot, not...


Just for the record Seth Rogen’s spin on Vancouver’s weed culture – is warp>>>!! As in: No Way, mofo.
I love you Seth, but not even close. 9suckit0

ie: Vancouver potheads are not successful filmmakers, or successful anything, really... Seth Rogen is an exception and likely doesn't smoke quite the amount of weed that he suggests he does...
 
PS:  I love you, Seth Rogen! especially in The End of The World... (best funny movie ever... [2013] - review to follow soon.

Hot Celebs on Strombo!

LOOK WHO’S IN THE RED CHAIR:
I’ve spent the last few days catching up on George Stroumboulopoulos: The Hour from CBC. This has to be the best Canadian Broadcasting material I’ve seen to date!! Kudos to Toronto and Canada for this show.

Over the last five years George has interviewed politicians, activists, environmentalists, celebrities, actors and musicians and his interviews are the most well-researched I’ve seen since Barbara Walters! His line of questioning is fast and furious, but funny, intimate and surprizing. The shows I watched over the last two days were with celebrities, actors and a few musicians. I highly recommend you travel to the YouTube site: Hot Celebs on Strombo! and check it out.


Watching back over the last six years allowed me to see the same people interviewed once or a few times, which provided a cool evolution of the person’s career, personal life topics and then and now current projects. Among those I watched were Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Matthew McConaughey, Gene Simmons, Edward Norton, Matt Damon, Pink, Slash, Will Ferrell, David Spade, Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Hugh Jackman, Anil Kapoor, Daniel Radcliffe, Jack Gyllenhaal, Giovanni Ribisi, Jodi Foster, Marisa Tomei, Anna Kendrick, Ted Danson, John Cusack, Sebastian Bach, Gerard Butler, Mark Wahlberg, Zach Galifianakis, Quentin Tarantino, Tom Cruise and Woody Harrelson!

What a line-up of great interviews with interesting people. Thanks George – you nailed it…I love watching everybody in the Red Chair. Check out the the Top 49 on my site – Hot Celebs on Strombo!
One warning – after watching this, I really don’t like David Spade or Sebastian Bach anymore…Sorry guys, you sorta suck.

Afghanistan

http://youtu.be/u0phY-XgB2Y

Afghanistan - an original song I wrote a few years back, which I think will touch the hearts of everyone listening! Including veterans, soldiers and patriots.

The song was inspired by the Winter Olympics hosted in Vancouver in 2010 where I was privileged to see every nation and country of our planet gather together in solidarity for a peaceful purpose - sporting events. It was fabulous to see people from worlds away who previously or even currently were otherwise at war with each other - coming together with a peaceful and common goal. Sporting events! I felt suddenly (again) like the world at war simply made so little sense, when clearly our entire planet would come together like this so peaceably.

My love for this occurrence inspired great hope, but also made me again question the insanity of war. My song, Afghanistan is inspired by these thoughts and moments.

Warning: The guitar I borrowed that afternoon was a little out of tune, so please bear with me - and also the amateur video is a little shaky - it was recorded last summer on an iPod, by my beautiful 10-year old daughter : )... Voice and venue acoustics sound good though!!! Enjoy & please add comments!!
