please help me understand what “jump the shark” means I’ve never gotten it? How does it differ from “getting a tiger by the tail?”

I knew there was a reason why I liked Dylan. He’s much smarter than some give him credit for. :)

At a website that I run, ad banners for this event have been running for the past month or so. No one is clicking on these banners, so my unscientific take on this is that there is little interest in these concerts.

Arctic Monkeys sit out Live Earth

07/05/2007 7:00 PM, Yahoo! Music
Dotmusic http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/44959710

Arctic Monkeys believe it would be “hypocritical” to play at this weekend’s Live Earth concerts, they have revealed.

The Sheffield sensations are not involved in the high-profile shows, which take place simultaneously across the globe on Saturday.

In a new interview, they explained that the heavyweight production involved in touring precludes them from getting involved in climate change events.

Drummer Matt Helders said: “We’re using enough power for 10 houses just for lighting. It’d be a bit hypocritical.”

Meanwhile, bass player Nick O’Malley agreed, commenting: “And we’re always jetting off on aeroplanes.”

Arctic Monkeys release a new single, “Fluorescent Adolescent,” on Monday in Britain.

Algore and warming — jumped.

The world needs something new to get fussed up about.

What would be a good replacement?

I don’t know about the rest of you folk, but when I think Rock-and-roll and must-see show, Al Gore is the first thing that pops in my head.

Please remember that any time mentioning the climate, the word CRISIS must be used.

I can tell any time someone is officially plugging the Live Earth shindig. They must mention Climate Crisis.

What's the old Bob Dylan line? 'Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call/Rattle your windows' - what's the rest of it? - 'for the times they are a-changin'."

Gore's such a freaking bouchedag. If he were a true fan of Bob Dylan, nee Bobby Zimmerman; he'd know that the lyrica are, "Senators, Congressmen, please heed the call. Don't stand in the doorway. Don't block up the hall".

I have a sneaking suspicion that this fiasco is going to be nothing more than a fart in a snowstorm. Majorly hyped. Tons of $$$ thrown its way.

Like any other "group consciousness raising" event made even more desperate by trying to un-earth and revitalize the whole "Woodstock schlock". This too will also prove embarrassingly, hypocritically insignificant.

Of course it has jumped the shark. I heard a commerical foa a light bulb company that had supposed men on the street comments. A woman actually said, “Our climate is broken.”

Al looks like he jumped a shark, all right, and ate it.

The poor fat dope has peaked and is on his way down. We can only hope that he gets the Nobel Peace Prize and can parlay that into the Democrat nomination for president and then take the whole rotten Democrat edifice down with him.
