The 1950s, it seems like such a long time to the 80s and the 90s child but not so to old timers. One of the most memorable things about the 50s was the Beat Culture. In the 50s, hot-rodders and Beats provided inspiration, even in music. The 1950s music scene reverberated to the beat with names like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Pat Boone, and Patti Page among other legends. This was the time of the Franks, with such names as Frank Sinatra, Frankie Laine and Frank Loesser coming clearly to mind.

1950s music is well remembered for a good number of hit songs with such titles as ‘Sh-Boom’, ‘Earth Angel’, ‘Cry Me A River’, ‘Mr. Lee’ and ‘Rainbow’ coming in mind. Dancehall songs by Fats Domino, The Diamonds and Ray Charles are also well remembered. Stepping back in time, we meet the famous entertainer Frank Sinatra. Becoming a successful solo artist in the early to mid 1940s, Frank Sinatra would later come to change the whole 1950s music scene by winning the 1954 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and signing with Capitol Records to produce smashing hits one after another. He stirred in such musicals as ‘High Society’, ‘Pal Joey’, ‘On The Town’ and ‘Guys and Dolls’. Sinatra’s comeback in the 50s would see him become an Oscar-winning actor and one of the top recording artists in the world producing some of the finest musicals of his time.

Everywhere you go these days people are pumping up the volume on free Latin music that they are downloading illegally from online file sharing sites such as Limewire.com or Napster. These free sharing sites are really just another name for illegal pirating and the people that are putting up these sites should be stopped and prosecuted in the opinion of many in the music and film business. A lot of time and money is spent to make the music that these artists and film makers create and for someone to just give it away randomly or steal it from the internet is completely wrong.

This is outright stealing and is covered under international piracy laws. You would not think of bringing your movie camera to your neighborhood multiplex and filming the latest release like “Avatar” or “Kick Ass” and then making thousands of bad quality copies and selling them on a street corner in Managua, would you? But that is precisely what you are doing when you download free Latin music or any form of music from the internet without the artists’ permission. It is hard enough for most musicians to make a buck these days without some goofball grabbing up his intellectual property without paying a dime.

If you think about it this form of piracy is just about being cheap. If someone wants free Latin music so badly why can’t they just sign up for an account with itunes.com like everyone else and pay a measly ninety nine cents per song, which is what most tunes cost these days. In some instances songs cost a bit more, but I have never seen them cost more than one dollar and twenty nine cents each. Don’t tell me you can’t afford ninety nine cents to pay the royalty rights to your favorite artists. And don’t even think about calling yourself a fan of these musicians or actors that you are stealing from. This is like some stranger coming up to you, picking your pocket and then telling you how much he loves your work. If you really love their work then pay for it like everyone else.

Free music and videos online are usually very poor quality anyway and you are never really getting the experience that the artist intended. I know a lot of people that tell me they don’t care if the camera is shaky or the film grainy or the sound quality muffled. These are the same people that eat fast food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and drink Keystone Light while telling you how much they love it. No one loves Keystone Light. They buy it because it is dirt cheap. Any one that buys or drinks this stuff is a cheapskate and that goes double for people downloading supposedly free Latin music online. It is wrong, illegal, and unethical and you need to stop.

Will it be Jon minus nine tonight on TLC? Rumors have been swirling around the couple for quite a while thanks to tabloid chatter surrounding Jon Gosslin’s alleged infidelity with a college co-ed and Kate’s questionable relationship with her bodguard, Steve Neild.

Barely household names when their show premiered five seasons ago, the tempestuous couple have been tabloid fixtures citing scandalous headlines fit for celebrities of a much more “bad-boy” ilk. Fielding allegations from cheating to child abuse, it really comes as no surprise that Jon and Kate are done-zo after 10 years of marriage.

We here at PB&J HQ aren’t exactly TLC’s prime demographic, but even just a tacit knowledge of the couple leads to scathing presumptions of the couple, most notable Kate. She appears to be well, a stone cold bitch, snapping at her brood of eight while Jon stands there aloof and slack-jawed, increasingly disinterested in his live in the TLC spotlight.

According to People Magazine, the couple filed for divorce today in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Further speculation puts Jon in bachelor-friendly New York City while Kate stays in bucolic Bucks County with the kids who range in age from five to nearly nine years old. Must be nice knowing one of the most traumatic moments in a child’s life will be broadcast for the world to see and live on the internet for well, ever.
