The 2010 Winter Olympics Day 11

Crucial Blog Entry # 51
The 2010 Winter Olympics Day 11
After over 40 years of bidding, planning, getting, building, re-vamping, sterilizing, de-drugging, widening (Highways), securing (back-country goblins), Canada and BC are now in the middle of HOSTING THE WORLD and are in the midst of one of the biggest sporting events and parties of our time and certainly of this decade. The 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver & Whistler.
What I thought two weeks ago would be the BEST WINTER OLYMPICS EVER, has turned into the Bad Karma Games or the Glitch Games to the international media outlets.
The weather, the Opening Ceremonies glitches, the luge track, the transportation, the Olympic cauldron surrounded by chain-link fences and razor-wire. A convicted Felon of a BC Premiere in Gordon Campbell. The list goes on and on.
Does Humanity not deserve to be treated better than a 2 week event? Sure the Olympics would have been great in the the 70's or 80's in BC , but now in 2010....not so sure.
The aversion to Whistler this year is relentless, when we would have been a full-house in February anyway. People have been avoiding Whistler in November, December, January, February, and I guess u get the point that people are avoiding Whistler, but hopefully coming to The World Ski & Snowboard Festival in April.
It will only cost over 4 BILLION DOLLARS to host these Games. It will be great but what, as a society could we do with 4 Billion Dollars, (1 billion dollare on Security alone in a post 9/11 World that was originally only budgeted for 250 million...oops)
What do the Olympics stand for now in the year 2010? Sport? Greatness? Achievement? No, its all about the money, prestige of winning and media rights & sponsorship opportunities. Mr. Jacques, say-it-with-a-french-accent Roggues, Mr/ King of the World and Presidential Leader of the Olympic Movement/MEGA MONEY WASTERS.
What is more important, sport or humanity?
What could the cost of these Games buy people in Haiti, Africa, Afghanistan or Iraq? A Life, an education. I can throw a pretty killer party for a paltry 4 million. What will this extravaganza be like? Cirque De Soleil on Acid, Esxtacy, Red Bull, hormones and Cocaine, with a little Valium and Alprazolam for good measure....
It is a time to celebrate our culture, our athletes, our beautiful country and what makes Canada such a special place in the world to live and co-exist.
Should the Olympics be held in the same location maybe TWICE and then move on to the next destination?? It seems that if they did that, the money spent would be halved, humantarian efforts could be greater, and the focus of the Olympics would not be the money, but the actual sport and the athletes.
Keep It Crucial.
GO STEVE O in Aerials & GO ASHLEIGH McIVOR in SKIER-CROSS!

Crucial Blog Entry # 51
MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD--THE WORLDS MOST DANGEROUS BAND
Michael Franti & Spearhead are Opening for JOHN MAYER on his BATTLE STUDIES TOUR and this show is one of the most Crucial combos of the year.
Michael Franti & Spearhead's soulful blend of reggae / soul / punk & rock elevates the soul, spirit and energy of anyone; man, woman, or child lucky enough to be listening to them live on any given day.
CHRIS BLACKWELL, the founder of Island Records and Producer of Bob Marley and U2 calls Michael "the most important artist touring today" for a a very worthy reason that his political outspokenness gets heard by millions around the world.
Mix in John Mayer's Balls to the Wall guitar playing, without the mindless drivel coming out of his mouth, and you have a night of musical excellence.
GO SEE THIS SHOW! and if u have tickets and are waiting for the tour to swing into your town, get excited. Get Very excited.
SPEARHEAD KEEPS IT CRUCIAL ALWAYS!

The 2010 WINTER OLYMPICS START NOW!
Friday February 12th, 2010 (4:20 pm)
Crucial Blog Entry # 50
After years of planning and preparing, The 2010 Winter Olympic Games begin tonight in Vancouver. Let The Games Begin...
I felt such a sense of excitement and Canadian Pride this morning thinking that this would be THE BEST WINTER OLYMPICS EVER, not only for Canada, but for the sporting world and for the all the athletes competing.
All that changed hours ago when I learned of the tragic accident and death of NODAR KUMARITASHVILI, 21, from Georgia, in a horrific accident on the luge course on Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler.
The luge course in Whistler is the fastest course ever created and raced on.
I think it would be a tragic mistake to race on Saturday right after an accident of this magnitude and maybe a 24 HOUR SAFETY CAUTION should be put into effect to examine all safety features and protected areas of this luge course.
Any other sport would not race, but the Olympic machine is not just any sport.
Rest In Peace Nodar and my deepest sympathies and condolences go out to your family, friends, loved ones and countrymen.
