Gravatarit;s been a rather lovely day! Hope everyone has had the same.


GravatarI just logged in. Whaddaya think O' dat?


GravatarLife is good, if one doesn't think beyond one's front yard or about anything farther ahead than tomorrow.....


GravatarWoah. High up on the thread!


GravatarAre we sci-fi blogging? is everyone downstairs?


Gravataryes, me, too, just got here, myself.


GravatarWe had cloud cover for most of the day but the sun came out mid-afternoon. It was a good day for yard work. Then it rained a little.


GravatarAre we sci-fi blogging? is everyone downstairs?

Not much going on, livebloggingwise.

Did you catch Count Pimpula?


GravatarThe Other Sarah! How's by you?


GravatarI am, 4LG... I should really turn off the radio, I suppose.


Gravatar...Count Pimpula....?


GravatarDon't do it, Ani.


GravatarOoo, Scary Elevator!

Of DOOM!!!



I'm terrified.

Sort of.


Gravatar...Count Pimpula....?

Boo had a snippet of a fake "Dynamite Jones" blaxpo movie, with "Count Pimpula" as the villain.


GravatarI actually wish I watched teevee when you guys are watching sci-fi.


GravatarDid you catch Count Pimpula?

I did. I've been watching while putting the groceries away.

DON'T GO TO THE THIRD FLOOR!!!


GravatarI'll blog a little sci-fi. I saw where Jeff Lynne was trying to get an animated version of "War of the Worlds" off the ground based on the rock opera of the same name. Has anyone heard anything about this?


GravatarBoo had a snippet of a fake "Dynamite Jones" blaxpo movie, with "Count Pimpula" as the villain.

Okay.


GravatarNoooooooooooo!


GravatarI'm terrified.

I'm sleepy.


GravatarSo, what's the topic?


GravatarSo, what's the topic?

Count Pimpula is teh scary.


GravatarOkay, that was a pretty good McDonald's commercial.


Gravatartopic? Pimples, I think.....


Gravatartopic? Pimples, I think.....

No, no, Count Pimpula. And his steadfast ally, Dracnula.


GravatarI think I better go away now and come back when people are drunk enough to tolerate me......

'bye.....


GravatarShe has pimples on her....



But I love her just the same!


Gravatartopic? Pimples, I think.....

No, boo.

Err, BOO.


Gravatarokay, wait: Dracnula...? 'splain...??


Gravatar4Legs--I can't Scifi blog right now; Monsieur has the living room TV and I'm baking cookies.

But have some oatmeal cookies and a beverage of your choice!


Gravatarokay, wait: Dracnula...? 'splain...??

Pimples, Pimpula; acne, Dracnula.

Silly Sarah. What makes you think we're not? And why wouldn't we tolerate you? We're tolerating Eli.


GravatarBOO?

I am SO out of whatever loop there might be.


GravatarThat was a cool album with Justin Hayward doing vocals and Sir Richard Burton providing the narration.


GravatarCrap.

Yes, I will have a cookie.


GravatarSilly Sarah. What makes you think we're not? And why wouldn't we tolerate you? We're tolerating Eli.

Wait... what?


GravatarIs it 2008 yet...?


GravatarSo, what's the topic?

Bacne, I think. But I'm not paying close attention.


GravatarBOO?

I am SO out of whatever loop there might be.


This week's Sci-Fi Saturday movie.


GravatarThere's "Halloween spirit"? Has anyone else heard of this?


GravatarI am SO out of whatever loop there might be.

GravatarA spooky haunted hospital.

Ooooooh! a ghost through her the keys!


GravatarSo speaking of French martial arts action thrillers, anyone seen District B13 yet? I'm thinking of heading out to it in a bit. Getting great reviews.


GravatarDamn!

I forgot to buy popcorn for tonight's SciFi live blog.


GravatarMy son and I have a video of "Its a Mad, Mad,Mad,Mad, Mad World" going right now. Phil Silvers is about to get picked up by Don Knotts.


GravatarWait a sec, there's a loop?

Oh, very infinitely.

mena, I've been given to understand lately that I am an irritatingly *literal* person. Which I am. Can't deny it.

No - not looking for a handout or a hand up. Just waiting until...well, the milieu is "softer".

I'd give you my feedback, but you'll just think I'm fruity.


GravatarWait a sec, there's a loop?


Lots of loops all over my carpet today...white ones, in fact, because the painter spilled a gallon of paint.

Just shoot me now. These are the most incompetent buffoons I've ever hired. Young kids, trying to build a rep, and I fell for it.


GravatarStupid Haloscan is stupid and sucks.

Gravatarso is this sci-fi movie any good?


Gravatar"No, but give my sister my best.

She has been a.....handful tonight.

What sort of awful movie are you planning to watch?


GravatarI'm terrified.

I'm sleepy.



I'm exhausted.



It's the same old story, the same old song and dance.


Gravatarso is this sci-fi movie any good?

It's probably all downhill after Count Pimpula.


GravatarI hope he had liabillity insurance. You might be getting new carpet.


No, hired him under the table - side job. $ 20 an hour.

My bad bad bad bad mistake.


Gravatarso is this sci-fi movie any good?

Too soon to tell.


Gravatar so is this sci-fi movie any good?

Yup.

But then, I'm watching Forbidden Planet.


Gravatarso is this sci-fi movie any good?

Is teh moon always full?


GravatarThe ghosts turned the dutchess into a dog!


GravatarNTodd--I know you added the "Slower Hand" to appease Jenny, but what would it really mean to have a slower hand than Hitler, I wonder...


GravatarEthel is with Jonathan Winters in the tow truck now.


GravatarOoo, that was kinda freaky...


GravatarUh oh, zombie hamburger dog


Excellent!!

This movie is looking up.


GravatarBut also do most certainly not have much to report that is not stultifyingly boring.....

My dear, dear Sarah. You cannot be any more boring than I am. Let's team up.


GravatarNTodd--I know you added the "Slower Hand" to appease Jenny, but what would it really mean to have a slower hand than Hitler, I wonder...

I think it prolly means I would've played better guitar. Or only killed half as many Jews and gypsies?

I'm not really sure. I guess I'd better come up with a new modifier.


GravatarDo I have time to make tacos during the commercial? Ooooh, what to do???


GravatarMy dear, dear Sarah. You cannot be any more boring than I am. Let's team up.

Need a third? [/nasal monotone voice]


GravatarNo, wait, I'd be a better lover than Hitler! Eva wouldn't be able to keep her mitts off me.




To coin a phrase, I'll come in again...


GravatarI am SO out of whatever loop there might be.

This week's Sci-Fi Saturday movie.

oh, thank you, dear.

And thanks to all of you generous souls!!!!! That's why I return here, because, dammit, you're ... well (blushes)...just so damned nice. I know you don't want that spread around or to end up in your Permanent Record, but, it's true.


GravatarDo I have time to make tacos during the commercial? Ooooh, what to do???

Well, I kept my cool. They got it cleaned up. I googled what to do, they followed the instructions, and it's gone. But damn. I'm sick of these kids. Been here for over a month doing very little, actually, and I told him I needed it done by today at the latest, and he's still not fucking done with the back hall and a little bit of finish work.

Sick. of. this.

/Sorry.


GravatarKinda scary, you guys know more about Canadian TV than I do. Haven't heard of any of those show. I just get broadcast stuff, no cable.

It has.

Truer words were never spoken. I know that, but these kids were so earnest, and I thought I would do them a favor. Like I said, I made a mistake.

Took 'em a full day to assemble and install a storm door (standard door by Anderson, shouldn't have been difficult), and a shower door (small door). I could have had Menards or Home Depot install both of them for $ 100. Oh well.

Yes, so far. But I still think they peaked two seasons ago with the "Conky" episode.

Audrey saw Phantom of the Opera on Broadway on Wednesday. She really liked it, apparently, but the only ALW musicals I like are JCS and Evita. Phantom makes me vomit a little in my mouth.

"Hello, Buenos Aires!"

You know, I thought - only today - of the perfect example for Goldstein: A blues singer saying "I need a little sugar in my bowl" instead of "I want to fuck." They both refer to the same state of mind, but if you want to understand why the first one is used, you have to understand the culture of censorship circa 1927, and the weird borderland "race records" inhabited within that culture, and the economics of small record labels, and the long tradition of double meanings in oppressed subcultures, yadda yadda.

Wish I'd brought it up at the time.

My boss got lucky hiring some young 'uns. They were high school friends of her son, now early 20's, and had been construction/contracting for about 5 years. The lead guy presented his ideas for the kitchen, they liked it, trusted him, and they went off to France for a week while he and his crew did a basic remodel on the kitchen (and watched the dog). No problems.

This sort of luck would never happen to me.

Hey baybee. What are you doin after the thread?


GravatarI just read the thread below, "They Call Him Bubba."

Aren't there any Southern voters who find this stereotyping by the right offensive?

They're saying that Southerners - or anyone living in a "red state" - are so dumb they don't get stuff like culture, etc.

That the Repukes are successful because they talk down to the rubes.

I'd be pissed off!


GravatarYou know, I thought - only today - of the perfect example for Goldstein: A blues singer saying "I need a little sugar in my bowl" instead of "I want to fuck."

Police, media silence sought as Bush officials turned Rayburn parking garage into temporary auto-body shop

Bush administration officials operated Memorial Day weekend damage control to cover up the deaths of three foreign intelligence operatives—two British and one French—involved in a Friday morning shootout in the House of Representatives parking garage.

The altercation turned into an exchange of automatic weapons fire over a pouch containing evidence files documenting an operation to bomb the rail system along the Northeast corridor on Thursday—with the full knowledge of George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair who was in Washington while the operation was being hatched

Gravatarwhatever happened to dick shawn?

he was a real funny one, in an idiot savant kind of way.

ever see him do the song to a flower?


dick shawn died in the manner that all comedians and actors would aspire to: he literally died on stage in the middle of his act.

it was his one man show, which i had the pleasure of seeing (tho not on the fateful night). it was, of course, rambling, non-sequitorious, unexpected, and thusly when he clutched his chest and fell over one night during a san diego performance, most of the audience thought it was part of the act. (not his son, who was in the theater, and knew the show).

i also, as a young comic, had the pleasure of meeting mr. shawn one night on the streets of san francisco. i was with a producer who knew him and she introduced me to him as an up and coming comic. of course, i knew who he was, one of the funniest men that never caught on with the public at large (but if you have any doubts, just watch the original film of the producers...it's a shame brooks eliminated shawn's role from the broadway production, it was the cherry on top of the madness of that show).

his advice to me: keep at it, it's hard. he was right.

here's wikipedia's entry on shawn. and, while i have your attention: skippy tee shirts are now on sale!

GravatarDung beetles, cockroaches.........

Bush and his corporatist friends are the ultimate parasites...

Candirú
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can...ki/Candir%C3% BA
The candirú or canero (Vandellia cirrhosa) or Toothpick Fish is a freshwater fish in the group commonly called the catfishes. It is found in the Amazon River and has a reputation among the natives as the most feared fish in its waters, even over the piranha. The species grows only to a size of an inch in length and is eel shaped and translucent, making it almost impossible to see in the water. The candiru is a parasite. It swims into the gill cavities of other fishes, erects a spine to hold itself in place, and feeds on the blood in the gills, earning it a nickname as the "vampire fish of Brazil".

It is feared by the natives because it is attracted to urine or blood, and if the bather is nude it will swim into an orifice (the anus or vagina, or even in the case of smaller specimens the penis - and perhaps deep into the urethra). It then erects its spine and begins to feed on the blood and body tissue just as it would from the gills of a fish. The candiru is then almost impossible to remove except through an operation. As the fish locates its prey by following the water flow from the gills to its source, urinating while bathing increases the chance of a candiru "homing in" on a human urethra.

GravatarJust watched MR SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON on TCM...
Boy, does modern day D.C. sicken me...
The Cahuenga Kid


i couldn't get over their toddler pages. good grief. guess it wasn't so long ago when we had child labor.


GravatarLove Annie Lennox but didn't love what she did to "No More I Love You's".

The Lover Speaks is way better.

I'm listening to Stanley Clarke's School Days right now.
Great album.


GravatarLove Annie Lennox but didn't love what she did to "No More I Love You's".

Really? I haven't heard the original, but I think her version is great.


GravatarJeffCO, Diva is very good, too. I haven't listened to it in years because my ex took it in the divorce.

I like the song selection on Medusa.

The thing with Annie, for me, is that she has an amazing, strong voice.


Gravatarguess it wasn't so long ago when we had child labor.
jello



It was a good way to keep kids off the streets.

/winger


GravatarEli get the original.
Love the tune.


GravatarIn all seriousness I think those Marines were in country way too long. Dumbass Rumsfeld and his "army you have, not what you want" has been stretched to the breaking point. There's going to be much more of this kind of atrocity before this long and sorry episode in our history is over.


GravatarI'm so glad I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad

Geez, someone's totally creaming.


GravatarSo Gore tells Terry Gross he doesn't think he'll run for president, but he doesn't say anything absolute about it.

I still maintain that he'll run. Maybe I'm in hopeful denial


GravatarAnnie Lennox?


She one of those.

Can look like anything, but just plain looking in reality.

Known more than one woman like that.
Kinna shocking seeing them without make up and the clothes.

GravatarSo these vermicelli zombies play Philip Glass music?

Vicki, Who ♥ Al Gore


Nope. I'm with you. I see him playing the marks and coming up strong from the outside. He's not an idiot and he's not inchoate - he's perfectly capable of saying "No, I will not run, nor will I be drafted and I will not accept a call." He hasn't done. What he's doing is a whole different thing.


Gravatarguess it wasn't so long ago when we had child labor.
jello

And women could not vote!

.


GravatarI think Diva is actually my favorite of hers. You want to appreciate the complexity that is woman, listen to that.

Noted, thanks. I just have her hits CD, but I've always found her music to be a kinda guilty pleasure.


GravatarAnd btw Alison Moyet is one of the best singers evah and never really got a chance cause she's fat.

It Won't Be Long is a great great tune.


GravatarSomeone is posting here called The Cahuenga Kid? I don't know how I feel about that...


GravatarThat's Dee Wallace Stone, isn't it?


GravatarI wish I liked Annie Lennox more.

I LURVED her version (with Dave,
in the Tourists) of Dusty's
I ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU.

Mostly, though, I think she's
pretentious beyond belief.

A faux opera singer trying to rock
out.

IMHO.

But like I said, I think BROKEN GLASS
is a great song. Soulful, great lyric,
she sings it beautifully.


GravatarFred Phelps is SO going to hell.

GravatarWhat he's doing is a whole different thing.


Yep. And I think he's playing it perfectly.


Gravatar In all seriousness I think those Marines were in country way too long.

No argument here.


GravatarI like how Claude Raines freaks out at the end of that Movie. Kinda like Cheney out hunting.


GravatarSimels,

I appreciate Annie Lennox much more so than Tori Amos...to me, Tori Amos is the height of pretense.


GravatarBut like I said, I think BROKEN GLASS
is a great song. Soulful, great lyric,

I ADORE IT. It is so implacably Presbyterian it makes me want to stare at the altar in prayer.


GravatarIIRC, most Lebanese are Maronite Christians.
-Terry C, Politikal Girl

It may be true that the majority of Lebanese in the US are Maronites, but I didn't think that held true for the mother counntry so I checked and came across this very interesting cia fact book on the web.

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publicati...ok/geos/ le.html

60% are Muslim. Also, I was not aware that there are heavy winter snows in the mountains of Lebanon!

GravatarWho here has read the book 'That Quail Robert' about a family that adopts a quail? Charming book, I haven't thought about it in a long time.


Gravatar"In all seriousness I think those Marines were in country way too long."

Day one was a mistake. Day two a disaster.


GravatarVicki and GWPDA - I agree with you both that Gore's going to run and I'm loving how he's going about it. He's blazing some new ground and it's wonderful to watch.

My bad.

Still doesn't give that asshole manager the right to persecute those two drivers.

No guilty pleasure she. For me that would be Liz Phair. Reedy voice, not much range, but uh.... [trails off]

I'm not sure he knows he's running yet.


GravatarI think I got some sunburn on my face today...I was out in the garden until the (unexpected) storms came. Lasted over three hours during prime planting time - early evening.

This is slow going....


GravatarAnd btw Alison Moyet is one of the best singers evah and never really got a

I'm still in love with her, going on 20 years now.


GravatarKirsty MacColl was worth fifty Lennoxes and a million... well, anyones.


Gravatar They went native. Lost what they were.

Fear leads to anger...


GravatarBut let's be honest...

The greatest female pop/rock singer of
the last fifty years was Sandy
Denny. And the reason that's not
a universal opinion is because
she was...sorry...too heavy.

If she had been a willow, everybody
would agree she was the greatest.

Hell, had she been a little skinnier,
Linda Ronstadt wouldn't have had
a career.


GravatarI'm not sure he knows he's running yet.
fourlegsgood

oh, he's running. vicki will make sure of that.


GravatarNo guilty pleasure she. For me that would be Liz Phair. Reedy voice, not much range, but uh.... [trails off]

Yes!!

Me, too!

My attitude on music has always been "If I like it, that's all that counts with me. No need to explain to anyone else."


GravatarKirsty MacColl was worth fifty Lennoxes and a million... well, anyones. -Thers

Was waiting for that, not that I would disagree.


GravatarThen, on May 17, Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) let the news slip out. In the middle of a rambling statement at the outset of a news conference on Capitol Hill, he said -- almost as an aside -- that what happened in Haditha was "much worse than reported in Time magazine." He asserted that the investigations would reveal that "our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood."

The reporters present barely focused on what Murtha had said. When the congressman finished his statement, the first reporter asked about Iraqi security forces. The second asked about U.S. troop withdrawals. The third asked about congressional support for Murtha's resolution calling for a U.S. pullout from Iraq. Finally, the fourth asked about Haditha. Murtha responded with a bit more detail: "They actually went into the houses and killed women and children. And there was about twice as many as originally reported by Time." Even then, his comments captured little attention and were not front-page news.

IMO, the problem is EXACTLY like Viet Nam. There is no mission. All those guys do, is go out, day after day, and look for some one to kill. There is no end game, no "capture the flag" moment. And it leads to exactly what we're seeing.


GravatarVicki,

Her eyes on the horizon sent me some Tori Amos. Most of it is okay. There is a song though that is pretty good. It is called WINTER. Nice song and nice delivery with a pleasant set of thoughts. The sort of thing that sends my mind awandering.

Don't know enough beyond that to judge.


GravatarIs it just me, or is Terry Gross a crappy interviewer?

She's so ... soft.
Vicki, Who ♥ Al Gore


Well, if Randi Rhodes is to your taste, Terry Gross is not what you're looking for. But she does have a way of startling interviewees with questions they weren't expecting, and I've heard her complimented on her interviewing prowess many times. Not to say she's perfect, of course, and I haven't heard her since KPFT dropped Fresh Air, so maybe she's lost it, who knows?


Gravatar Guilty pleasure = ABBA

Oh yeah, baby. I, uh...have a lot of guilty pleasures. I think pretty much all my pleasures are guilty.


Gravataroh, he's running. vicki will make sure of that.

I hope he runs too.

What I would like to see, is that the standard changes from "who is the best candidate?" to "who would be the best at governing the country."


GravatarGWPDA and mena,

I think he'll be the best president in over half a century. Better than Clinton. Better than Kennedy. Better than Ike. Better than Truman (I still feel for Truman that he had to make *the* decision - the one which must never, ever be repeated, but so many people don't allow history to be a lesson in steering future decisions).


GravatarWHC! -NTodd

It appears that the Marine Corps itself has much blame.

As a Times article in tomorrow's edition reminds me, the Marine Corps came in with a guns and glory mentality when it took over control of Anbar Province from the Army in '04.

They thought the Army was pussyfooting around with its hearts and mind talk and leveled Fallujah. 36,000 of the 50,000 homes there were leveled. An Army general commented afterward, "so how are the civilians going to take this when they come back/"

smalfish, terrorist


Bingo. In WWII, damn near every move a grunt made was part of a larger plan toward an eventual victory that would be unmistakeable when it came. In Vietnam and Iraq, it's just, get up in the morning, put on your armor, if you have some, and head out to get shot at or blown up, and nobody knows jack shit about no fucking plan. Victory will be when they get home alive.


Gravatar"You shoot me in the face and I'll kick your ass!"

See, that's the whole point.

Allison Moyet and Sandy Denny were
probably two of the best pop
singer/songwriters of the last
half century.

And the reason they're not the stars
they should be is because they were
both heavy.

As if Meatloaf wouldn't have been
a star if he was skinny.

It's a prejudice, and its disgusting.


GravatarOkay, that ghost is mad.

So did Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. I wonder what they're doin' tonight...


GravatarSuzy Quattro.

She started the whole cool chick thing. The Runaways stole her shit.


GravatarYes. It's there. It's not even very far out of reach. It's why I don't fail every day.

It's good to hear other people articulate this. I feel it too.


GravatarMy diss is on how Irish writers dealt with censorship. Won awards, too.

In the meantime, pasty writes short stories that no one reads.

No wonder he's so pissed off.

You beat me to it!


GravatarAnd I'd bet real money Boyce and Hart's names are really Elmo Glick and Wally Finstermocker, or something. They just ooze phoney.


Gravatarwho knew simels was such a softee?

Yes, lovey, and you did very well indeed. I'll hit you up for a reference when I go for a Canada Council grant whilst I look at, once again, HBC involvement in North Russia.

That's what friends are for. Did you cut the grass as well?

And what, no one mentioned Sinead's voice yet? I saw her at the same venue - you'da thunk there were angels singing.
JeffCO


I was going to mention her but she kinda goes without saying.
She was on with Laura Flanders and she sang something (forgot what) without any accompaniment and wow it was just lovely.


GravatarThis movie is really confusing me.


GravatarPercale turned back for late night. Must be Mr. Atrios is out on the town.


GravatarHottest pop babe ever?


Cross between Ronnie Spector
and Chrissie Hynde.

IMHO.


GravatarI saw them on their first US tour - heavenly voice, just amazing.

Yeah, I saw them at Memorial Auditorium in Burlingont. Fun show.

And what, no one mentioned Sinead's voice yet? I saw her at the same venue - you'da thunk there were angels singing.

Never seen her live, but damn, her first album still gives me shivers. The others less so, but still amazing.


GravatarNever seen her live, but damn, her first album still gives me shivers.

Agree.

Doesn't help that it was when my marriage was breaking up and I was falling in love with someone else, either...

Mostly because of the voice, of
course.

Tommy Boyce is dead.

Committed suicide in 1994.


Gravatar My diss is on how Irish writers dealt with censorship. Won awards, too.

I know what it was on. I want to see it in PDF form. Notarized. Otherwise I can not take anything you say about ANYTHING seriously.


GravatarIn the meantime, pasty writes short stories that no one reads.

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty


GravatarI saw Alannys Morissette the other night on the guy who follows leno. she was on after her husband/boyfriend? who is some kind of gooberish actor. anyhoo, she is really, really short. or is the host really, really tall?

Alanis Morrisette is 5'4''.
Conan O'Brien is 6' 4''.


Gravataragave, why is that funny?

It was before he got famous.


GravatarSinead does indeed have a beautiful, beautiful voice.

thanks for that... i couldn't figure out who he was. i see he's canadian, but i think its kinda weird that alannis settled for this guy when there is a softee like simels available.


GravatarSpeaking of Kate Bush - I think Jenny was mentioning Cloudbusting the other day, and the fey optimism reminds me of this:

But every time it rains,
You're here in my head,
Like the sun coming out--
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
And I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.


And with that, I'm out. Enjoy Your evenings!


GravatarRonnie Spector has a new album coming out.

Two duets - one with Keith Richards, one with the late Joey Ramone.


GravatarIn the meantime, pasty writes short stories that no one reads.

I'd read them if only he told me what his intent was first.


Gravatar I want to see it in PDF form. Notarized. Otherwise I can not take anything you say about ANYTHING seriously.

And check the IP number.


GravatarAlanis Morrisette is 5'4''.
Conan O'Brien is 6' 4''.
Richard

i guess i was right on both counts!


GravatarI'd read them if only he told me what his intent was first.

Well, I know why MY intent is- to ignore his pretentious, pasty ass for the rest of my natural life.

Alannis is a sharp gal. I was impressed with interviews I've seen of her.

I remember her on Bill Maher right before the 2004 election and she was really on the ball!


Gravatardoes pasty right about young girls, cages, and bears?


GravatarHottest pop babe ever?

Kim or Kelly Deal!

Really, tho, Gwen S.

I want her bad.

Oh, me too, kiddo.

I just go absolutely into jello
when I hear her sing.

"When Will I Be Loved" as a duet
with Linda Thompson.

Or "Solo", from her her first
....er...solo album?

Beyond gorgeous.


Gravatari'm off to the aeroport... good night all.


GravatarSteve,

Saw Ronnie Spector around when her solo LP came out in 1980 or so. She was totally fucked up. Started to do The Ramones' "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow" and she fell flat on her ass and the show was over in like 5 minutes.


GravatarI watched a movie this afternoon about Ike and Tina Turner. Really good. She went through some hell, didn't she.


GravatarSinead does indeed have a beautiful, beautiful voice.

I love her voice, but speaking of nuts......


GravatarAlanis Morrisette is 5'4''.

That's 12 inches, cut.

Angela Bassett and Lawrence Fishburne.

Tina proved that living well IS the best revenge!


GravatarReally, tho, Gwen S.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Very energetic on stage. Nice belly--I'm sure she'll work off the baby fat in, like, 3 shows.


Gravatar"Too heavy' singers who were great: Tracy Nelson. Her 7 Bridges Road raises goosebumps.

She was right about the poop.

If I had to live with Phil Spector for longer than five minutes, I'd be fucked up too!

Supposedly, she's cleaned up her act.


GravatarWhat's Love Got To Do With It

Angela Bassett and Lawrence Fishburne.


Yeah, that was it.


GravatarA friend of mine just played me
a CD of Ronnie Spector doing the
Beach Boys "Dont Worry Baby" and
Johnny Thunders "Can't Put Your
Arms Around a Memory."

Produced by Joey Ramone.

Both....uh...gorgeous.

Anybody else ever heard these?
They're amazing!!!!

I'd love to know what she thinks of the PopenFuhrer.

I've heard that one...fabulous, you're absolutely correct! Btw, res is on the thread upstairs, and she says you didn't show up for something?!


Gravatar A friend of mine just played me

That's ironic - didn't Brian Wilson admit that Don't Worry Baby was a straight steal from Be My Baby ?


GravatarBrian wrote Be My Baby as he was a Phil Spector acolyte for the Ronettes but they never recorded it.


Gravatarres ipsa:

You there, kiddo?

Did you not get my message on
your answering machine?

Ronnie Spector's new CD is called "Last Of The Rock Stars."

I'll just have to make a fool of myself & call Audubon......


GravatarMarriage is a holey Union I wonder what O'relly's wife thinks of loofas.


GravatarDropped on a dead thread out of, well, pure embarassment to be commenting on such a thing:

BTW, did any one else stand in a grocery store line this weekend and see the tabloid headline that the Lump and the chimp are supposed to be getting divorced?

From Friday's NPS Morning Report:

Mesa Verde National Park (CO)
Special Event: First Lady Visits Park

First Lady Laura Bush visited Mesa Verde National Park from May 23rd to May 26th to help the park celebrate its centennial and to vacation in the park with her close friends. The official event took place in Long House, the park’s second largest cliff dwelling. Approximately 200 invitees attended. The event celebrated Mesa Verde’s livelihood, its placement as the first cultural national park in the nation, and its place in education and protecting and interpreting Native American culture and heritage. The First Lady and her companions enjoyed the park by visiting several pristine cliff dwellings and hiking in the backcountry. Tours of the park’s research center and library were also organized for the First Lady and her friends. The National Park Service was tasked with assisting the Secret Service and the White House Communications Agency during the visit. An in-park incident management team was established to run the event. Approximately 45 people were assigned to the event, including 15 law enforcement rangers and eight members of Intermountain Region’s special events team. In reality, though, every employee in the park had a hand in making the First Lady’s visit a complete success. [Submitted by Jessie Farias Jr., Chief Ranger]

Um, "close friends." And "companions." Hmm, And took 45 people plus WH staff unnumbered to manage this hiking trip. Sure glad it was a "complete success."
