She was a friend of Rosa Parks.
Like the woman who tried to redo “In My Life” by the Beatles for “Providence”?
UGH! YEEEEEE-UCH! BLEACHHHH!
::me goes away to vomit::
Whatever happened to all those commercials for Zamfir, Master of the Pan Flute?
Now, all there are are commercials for albums they couldn’t give away in record stores.

What kills me about those ads is the soft-focus “angelic” look on her face as she mutilates perfectly reasonable songs.
–There was an article about Zafir several years ago in (of all places) The Wall Street Journal. He lives in seclusion in Paris and wishes he had never done those songs for Heartland Records…even though it’s the profit from those records that allows him to live the way he does.
IIRC he was a serious musician of various folk-instruments of which ONE was the pan flute. He had a small but loyal following in Canada for several years until an agent for Larry Welk Jr. sold him on the idea of performing lounge lizard songs on the pan flute for some extra cash.
Zamfir was overwhelmed when he saw the continous late-night promotion of that album and fled the country in shame.
The whole article was almost humorous, in a tragic way.
Then there was that little slut on wheels, Jennifer Love Screwitt who had some group do the Beatles “I’ve Just Seen a Face” for her hellish tv show, Time of Your Life…I’ll bet John was just spinning like a dervish in his grave.
Oh wait…John was cremated…well, his ashes must’ve been rumbling…
That show was canceled for a reason, Guinny;)
My only beef is that they didn’t cancel that crap soon enough! It was HIDEOUS! I used to post over at MBTV until Wing Chun banned me because she’s an anal harpy, and we used to make fun of that show sooo hard.
Ah! So you cught it too!
Its not as bad as the “my real baby” commercials. My son insisted I write down the number and call and complain!
Opal, I feel your pain. I saw that commercial at least a half dozen times today. Finally I said, out loud, who is that chick. My 6 year old, God love 'im, says ‘That’s Anne Murray, mommy!’ almost immediately. This is the same kid who can’t remember where he put his lunch money even though he just had it a mere five minutes ago!!
Vanilla, if I see that fucking My Real Baby[sup]TM[/sup] commercial one more time, I’m think I’m gonna go homicidal. Have you seen the extended version lately? What I want to know is who the fuck is buying that shit? It’s a goddamn hand puppet fer Chrissake!!! Life-like movements, sheesh :rolleyes:
cha-cha-cha- CHIA 
Actually, I wouldn’t mind ordering the AeroBed. That thing looks cool.
Sigh.
Let’s not forget Mary Beth Hoyt and her Ab-Force. (A rollerblade with handles.) Fortunately, it seems Anne Murray has stopped advertising on The History Channel, which is 90% of what I watch on television (the other 10% is Battlebots and Junkyard Wars.)
that might just make a cool flash game, [regisPhilbin] “who wants to maim anne murray?” [/regisPhilbin]
Actually, Anne Murray did an excellent cover of the Beatles’ You Won’t See Me about 25 years ago.
NOOOOOOO!!!
Freddy Fender is the one that gets me going, no thanks to an 8-track my dad used to love…uuuuugh
Now, I can’t believe I’m defending Anne Murray… but she does the NICEST version of “Inchworm, Inchworm.” Yes, I have her on cassette, doing children’s songs…
immediately runs to Yellow Pages to look under "Witness Protection Programs"
