Demon star & the pope

The right eye of Medusa (in the constellation Perseus) is the Demon Star, Algol.  It is CLEARLY depicted this way in the dress Nikki Minaj wore at the 2012 Grammys.

February 11, 2012 (above with "pope") EXACTLY ONE YEAR BEFORE POPE RATZINGER ANNOUNCED HIS RESIGNATION.

"Princess Die" she said (Part 2)

winds up at the Paralympics...

That was last year...

So now, a year later, the spell (Madonna, Minaj, Whitney, Gaga) continues.  Right after the Grammys.  AGAIN.

The Paralympics are also the stage where Oscar Pistorius (bang, bang, bang, bang) was a success.

Tubular Bells/Super Bowl/Grammys

This album was the soundtrack to 1973's The Exorcist.

Thanks a bunch to Deckard for the idea.

Bells (Part II)

I called this post "Bells (Part II)" although it really doesn't have much to do with part one; still, it's about a bell and what's a guy supposed to do?

Anyway, this past week I have seen the Grammy Awards logo quite a bit...

And, like the Super Bowl and other venues, they use a different one every year.  But cutting to the chase, after looking at these logos like a million times, I suddenly see a bell:

Of course I'm finding out that the shape of a bell is called ....get this... a bell - on all objects; for example, the trumpet and other horn instruments:

Now, I realize this is not earth-shattering news and probably most of you knew this; however, I hate brass instruments and have always avoided them.

Still, it occurs to me that trumpets are used a great deal in the broadcasting the arrival of royalty; even Christ's return will be with the sound of the trumpet.  All of this makes Bob Schlenker's posts about bells [1] [2] seem even more important to me.

The Grammy Awards and Nipper

Whitney Houston, a multi-Grammy winner herself, actually died during a pre-Grammy party.
