Ace wordt 56

April 27th, 2007 | Category: Beats

Mijn favoriete rockgitarist van de jaren zeventig is vandaag jarig. Ace Frehley wordt 56. Een recente foto van het snarenwonder van weleer zou de bezoekers van Casa di Ricomanjaro wellicht afschrikken, dus de kiek is uit ‘s mans topjaren: 1977-1978. Frehley, meestal flink aangeschoten op het podium, speelde in die tijd bij Kiss de sterren van de hemel. Tegendraads, verhalend, melodieus, wild en woest waren zijn solo’s, waanzin die in een baan om de aarde was geprojecteerd.

En daarom heb ik zijn eerste soloalbum uit 1978 nog eens opgezet. Met tracks als Wiped Out, Ozone en Fractured Mirror. Wat een gitaarwerk. Wat een frivole en toch stevige liedjes. Wat een onstuimige productie. Wat een heerlijke plaat. Vergane glorie, niets meer en niets minder. Maar zo puur en ongekunsteld. Zo rauw en toch netjes. Zonder nostalgisch te willen worden: solo’s als die van Frehley hoor je anno 2007 niet meer. En dat is een groot gemis. Ik word oud.

Bijna niet te geloven

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Intelligence has nothing to do with wealth, according to a US study published Tuesday which found that people with below average smarts were just as wealthy as those with higher IQ scores.

“People don’t become rich because they are smart,” said Jay Zagorsky, research scientist at Ohio State University whose study appears in the Journal Intelligence. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics survey included 7,403 Americans who have been interviewed repeatedly since 1979.

Based on 2004 answers, people who are now in their mid-40s showed no link between brain- and earning-power. “Your IQ has really no relationship to your wealth. And being very smart does not protect you from getting into financial difficulty,” Zagorsky said.

The study confirmed previous research which has shown that smarter people tend to earn more money, but pointed out there is a difference between high pay and overall wealth. “The average income difference between a person with an IQ score in the normal range (100) and someone in the top two percent of society (130) is currently between 6,000 and 18,500 dollars per year,” it said.

“But when it came to total wealth and the likelihood of financial difficulties, people of below average and average intelligence did just fine when compared to the super-intelligent.” An irregular pattern of total wealth as well as financial distress levels — such as maxed out credit cards, bankruptcy and missing bill payments — emerged among the various degrees of intelligence, the study said.

The study measured intelligence based on scores from the US Armed Services Qualification Test, a general aptitude test used by the Department of Defense.

Ik ben blij dat die laatste alinea er staat. Anders had ik dit verhaal niet geloofd. Rijkdom en intelligentie niet aan elkaar gerelateerd. Nou, wél in Nederland. Jerks!

Sheryl Crow en het milieu

Crow proposes toilet paper limits

Sheryl Crow is the latest star to encourage people to start doing their bit for the environment. The singer is proposing we only use one sheet of toilet paper per visit from now on. Although the singer does admit there are times when you need a little bit more.

Crow and environmentalist Laurie David have been travelling across America on a two-week Stop Global Warming College Tour. Crow and David (co-producer of the documentary ‘An Inconvenient Truth’) have been touting their cause and chronicling their travels in a rather idiosyncratic blog. In it, Crow says: “Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating. One of my favourites is in the area of forest conservation which we heavily rely on for oxygen. I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting.”

“Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required.”

Sorry, ga ik niet redden. Maar ik bezit geen automobiel. Dat compenseert genoeg toch?
