My copy of the Economist came today. On pg 92 there is an obituary.
Yasser Talal al-Zahrani
He was 21 years old and had been incarcerated by Amerikans at Guatanamo since age 17. Big time terrorist or sumpthin? Right.
The Economist obituary closes with this paragraph:
"As he had hoped, his death led to voices around the world to demand that the camp be closed. One Senior American official, immovable, called his suicide "a good PR move". She may have been right; Guatanamo, alas, remains wrong.

My Unwitting Role in the Rove 'Scoop'
http://www.washingtonpost.com/
wp...1601754_pf.html
By Joe Lauria
I met Leopold once, three days before his Rove story ran, to discuss his recently published memoir, "News Junkie." It seems to be an honest record of neglect and abuse by his parents, felony conviction, cocaine addiction -- and deception in the practice of journalism...
I disagree, but I felt some sympathy for the affable, seemingly vulnerable 36-year-old. Before we parted, I told him a bit about myself -- that I freelance for numerous newspapers, including the Sunday Times of London. His publicist had earlier given him my cellphone number.
Three days later, Leopold's Rove story appeared. I wrote him a congratulatory e-mail, wondering how long it would be before the establishment media caught up.
But by Monday there was no announcement. No one else published the story. The blogosphere went wild. Leopold said on the radio that he would out his unnamed sources if it turned out that they were wrong or had misled him. I trawled the Internet looking for a clue to the truth. I found a blog called Talk Left, run by Jeralyn Merritt, a Colorado defense lawyer.
Merritt had called Mark Corallo, a former Justice Department spokesman who is now privately employed by Rove. She reported that Corallo said he had "never spoken with someone identifying himself as 'Jason Leopold.' He did have conversations Saturday and Sunday . . . but the caller identified himself as Joel something or other from the Londay [sic] Sunday Times. . . . At one point . . . he offered to call Joel back, and was given a cell phone number that began with 917. When he called the number back, it turned out not to be a number for Joel."
A chill went down my back. I freelance for the Sunday Times. My first name is often mistaken for Joel. My cellphone number starts with area code 917.
I called Corallo. He confirmed that my name was the one the caller had used. Moreover, the return number the caller had given him was off from mine by one digit. Corallo had never been able to reach me to find out it wasn't I who had called. He said he knew who Leopold was but had never talked to him.
Just saying, that I thought everyone knew that my sort of cousin Margot Kidder is what kindly old historians look like

US military honoured in secret by Britian
Antony Barnett, investigations editor
Sunday June 18, 2006
The Observer
The government has been secretly awarding honours to senior figures in the US military and foreign businessmen with lucrative public sector contracts. The Observer has obtained a Foreign Office list detailing all non-British citizens who have been awarded honours since 2003 - the first time the complete three-year dossier has been released.
It has emerged that Riley Bechtel, billionaire boss of the US-based Bechtel Corporation, which has won big transport and nuclear contracts in Britain and made a fortune from the Iraq war, was secretly awarded a CBE in 2003.
This award has never been made public either by the British government or Bechtel. At the time Jack Straw, now Leader of the House of Commons, was Foreign Secretary. Although there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing, questions are being asked about whether the Foreign Office kept the awards quiet for fear of a political backlash.

"Mission Accomplished!"
Leopold is in too many ways a man of his times. These days it is about the reporter, not the story; the actor, not the play; the athlete, not the game. Leopold is a product of a narcissistic culture that has not stopped at journalism's door, a culture facilitated and expanded by the Internet.
In the end, whatever Jason Leopold's future, he got what he appears to be crying out for: attention.
Expanded by the Internet? Um, what about television and radio?

Leopold isn't wrong about Rove the guy changed his tune five times. if anything Rove has continued collusion with other targetsa and has tried to set grounds for a mistrial. He'd knowingly leak wrong info but we all know Rove usually sees greater effect to leak the truth.
Plausible Deniability, and it covers reaction to the truth on follow-up.
If that doesn't work say your opponent did the action to cover tracks- because everyone knows Joe Wilson leaked Valerie's name and will be indicted.

I wonder about that. My suspicion is that Leopold has no sources to burn. I think that he made the story up, gambling that the rumors of an imminent Rove indictment would indeed turn out to be true. If that had happened, Leopold would have been in the position of claiming that he had "scooped" everyone else. The fact that many of the details of his story were false could be readily overlooked at that point.
Unfortunately for him, Leopold lost the bet.

May I say I (heart) Cindy Sheehan
So do I, Terry. I don't know if you check out Common Dreams. I do almost daily, and recommend it. It's a wonderful digest of progressive and enlightened thought.
And they publish Sheehan's pieces fairly often. You can almost feel her evolving over the months and finding her voice. She's beautifully articulate and eloquent-- simple, direct, and decidedly down-to-earth.
I have no patience with detractors and cavillers who have expressed exasperation with her actions-- or antics, as the doubtful might say. I generally like and certainly respect Scott Ritter, so I'll make allowance for a recent interview in which he sourly rejected the idea that Sheehan is or is trying to be the leader of an antiwar movement. He complained that she was all over the map, a Tinkerbell of leftist causes (my phrase, not his). He growled (or so it seemed) that she wasn't much use as an organizer or "mission leader". It was a true jarhead POV-- a Marine officer scowling at a loose cannon-- in the form of a ditsy woman-- willingly thrust to the front of the battle.
And I recall a few people of the Democratic political pragmatist stripe here sneering or bitching about Sheehan's lack of political discipline. They would prefer that she harnessed herself to the Democratic engine, which would surely involve Sheehan being required to toe somebody's line beyond her own.
I think she's a true hero and and inspiration as a free agent, and I don't give a fuck if she jumps in a Jacuzzi with Castro. Which I admit is not a pleasant image, but it makes the point.

I've mentioned this before, but I posed that very question to Caroline Daniel of the Financial Times a few months ago at a conference. (You may have seen her trying to get a word in edgewise on McLaughlin.) She said the problem is not the lying source, it's the fear that once you burn one, however deservedly, all your other sources will stop talking to you. She added that it is the reporter's responsibility to stop talking to the sources that lie to them, but under this system there's no real way for us to assess that.

Wouldn't all that crisp cold air keep them nice and young and fresh?
I can't understand how a veteran journalist like Leopold would allow under his byline, terms like "24 business hours" and Karl Rove having to to "get his affairs in order". At the worst, it was a goddamned indictment, not a death warrant.
Nobody goes to a grand jury five times unless they were a big part of the action.
Rove will be indicted. Probably not for the identities protection act because he was never cleared to see her name in the first place at the time so the law doesn't apply his way, in full, in word. It does for intent and the spirit of the law but there's other items he can be charged with there.
As for the war powers defense, we weren't in war with Iraq at the time. Unless they can prove Afghanistan is tied to nuclear proliferation, there's an attempt to overlap theatres to present the argument in Rove's favor.

Just wow. The audience was right there with Al, spontaneously applauding throughout the film. I wish they had released the DVD with it so I could send a copy to my parents. I understood immediately why so many are trying to undermine it.
Interestingly, some of the biggest applause came during the previews, in this case for The U.S. vs. John Lennon.

The Iraq war payoffs continue -- WSJ --
World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz picks Iraq war ally Ana Palacio of Spain as the lender’s new senior vice president and general counsel. Palacio served as foreign minister under then-Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, who took fierce political heat at home for contributing troops to the U.S. war in Iraq. Spain withdrew its troops after Aznar’s conservative Popular Party lost to the Socialists in the wake of the Madrid train bombings.
In a letter to World Bank staff, Wolfowitz cites Palacio’s experience “strengthening ties with Middle East and Mediterranean nations” as one reason he’s bringing her on board. “Ms. Palacio demonstrated exceptional leadership and management capabilities when she served as Spain’s foreign minister,” he writes. Palacio, an attorney by training, is currently a member of the Spanish parliament.

I can believe that, and it would explain why he hasn't burned them, as he said he would.
Which would make Truthout complicit, as they've claimed all along that he told them his sources and they felt they were credible.
So that's probably why Truthout refuses to sell out Leopold *or* his "sources".

Well, here's Leopold's current claim, Rove was indeed indicted, but the indictment has been sealed...
"I was right, but it's a secret."
Which is *still* total bullshit, because his original story said Rove had *already* resigned, or was just about to.

Occam's razor says Leopold is full of shit.
i vaguely remember some question about Leopold's work before.
Here's a refresher...
Self-Made Scoop
Reporter tries to remove a stain by adding more dirt from his past
http://www.villagevoice.com/
news...hy,61336,6.html
In late August 2002 Salon reported a major scoop: An e-mail linked then Army secretary Thomas White, a former executive at Enron, to an effort to cover the massive losses at the energy giant. White's supposed message instructed a subordinate: "Close a bigger deal. Hide the loss before the 1Q [first-quarter report]."
By early October, the scoop was scrapped: Salon retracted the story, saying it was "unable to independently confirm the authenticity" of the e-mail. What looked like a direct link between the Bush administration and the Enron debacle was shredded, and the career of Jason Leopold—the author of the piece—was destroyed.
Now Leopold has written a book that casts that episode as just one drama in a tumultuous life that includes years of drug addiction, a felony conviction Leopold hid from his employers, getting fired from a Los Angeles Times community paper for threatening a reporter, and leaving Dow Jones Energy Service after an inaccurate story got Leopold pulled from the Enron beat.
"This is stuff that I've really hidden my whole life," Leopold tells the Voice, adding that the book "really allowed me to purge all those feelings. I want to make sure I come across as totally, 100 percent honest."
ah plaid self swathing.
Well what would make any of us think bush would ever tell Rove to take a hike?
Bush may be dumb--is dumb, but he knows he can't win a fair fight, and he knows he needs the fight so unfair that only Rove can game it for him.
It's daylight in North-Western France.
Yikes! Even worse was the Skeletubbies, featuring anatomically correct talking skeletal systems that were supposed to teach kids about manners and shit.
Ooo, hot SETX.

He'll never fire Rove. Never. No matter what he does. Because I believe Bush knows and approves of every evil thing that he does.
Rove already resigned- leopold was right. Rove changed jobs, they probably show Leopold his resignation for the post he transferred from and he runs with it...
Meanwhile Rove is promoted. by the way, Rove's latest 'promotion' includes no security clearance. hy has no reporter asked karl Rove about any Security news. Technically he's not cleared to confirm or deny any security now. perhaps someone could apply it to his fundraising trips?
Rove appeared in New Hampshire... let's see him try that act in New York. Step up to the plate, Eliot!

Who didn't think Rove was going to get indicted?
We had defense lawyers up the ying-yang saying "5 grand jury visits = sure indictment".

He rolled the dice and they came up snake eyes.
He'll never fire Rove. Never. No matter what he does. Because I believe Bush knows and approves of every evil thing that he does.
fourlegsgood
Actually, I've always suspected that Rove gives Bush plausible deniability, and Bush trusts him to stick the knives wherever needed.
Why*
Or, as I now call them, "Truthinessout".
www.Truthinessout.borg? Can't bring it up, for some reason...
She said the problem is not the lying source, it's the fear that once you burn one, however deservedly, all your other sources will stop talking to you.
Even if one allows that this is an important and legitimate concern, it still remains that providing unconditional immunity from exposure fatally undermines the reliability of the information acquired from such sources. One demonstrable consequence of this status quo is that sources are free to lie, mislead, deceive, and manipulate both the reporter and the public unless and until they are tripped up. Does the name Judy³ ring a bell?
It seems like the ground rules need that good ol' fashioned paradigm shift. The basic contract between reporter and source should explicitly state that if it is clearly established that a source is playing fast and loose, it may expect to be burned.
(FWIW, on a related issue-- I am no fan of all of the sleazy practices law enforcement routinely resorts to out of alleged necessity and expedience, e.g. use of snitches/informants, sting operations, playing defendants off each other, etc.)

Out of the frying pan and into the fire! Jumping from the annual Sun-Pluto polarity to a Vesta-Saturn conjunction (11:56AM PDT) and a Mars-Saturn conjunction (11:05PM PDT) is no simple or easy task. Be careful you don't follow the foolish adventure of mythological Icarus and melt your wings by flying too close to the Sun. The Vesta-Saturn and Mars-Saturn unions are in fiery Leo. Be extra careful when it comes to your valuables, investments and property. Playing fast and loose with hard-earned savings is out of bounds. Reinforce safety and security measures around your residence. Make sure you are receiving sensible and trustworthy financial advice. Keep your distance from romantic liaisons and webs of intrigue while the red planet confers with the ringed planet.
What was that movie starring Leonardo DiCapria about the guy who was a fake pilot?
Based on a true story. Fucker didn;t choose professions like accounting, or engineering office fucks where you can fairly easily smarm your way around for a good long time.
No, he went the airline pilot, doctor route, where pretty goddamned quickly you need to cough up some righteous know how in front of a bunch of folks.

Ugh - I accidently saw some of that last night (?) - Jolene Blalock was on and seemed as incapable of producing a coherent sentence as he was of asking a coherent question. Capping it off was Jaime Kennedy mugging like his life depended on it in the background. Such a sorry spectacle.
If only she'd brought the ears....
Jeez. I chased everyone away with my drunken slur against Ian Dury.
All of them need to move into the home and give the rest of us a break, if you ask me.

I'm of more than one mind about this, all kidding aside.
If people who play other kinds of music besides rock n' roll get to keep on keeping on until death, why not the Stones (as one example)?
Since I'm their age, they are not disgusting to me as they must surely be to young folks.
One of the reasons I appreciate them is, they don't go away quietly. They're still out there, gyrating, if you will.
I imagine the very thought of us ancients even having sex lives might appall you youngsters, but, I assure you, we do. This actually should be of some comfport to you, since you (like we) will not be young forever.
Out of morbid curiosity, does retching at the sight of the aforementioned man in stretchy pants count as "appreciation?"
R. Manhammer
I dunno. Do you retch at the sight of a pretty girl in a light summer dress?

I hate to break this to you, but he's banging Rita Cosby.

Are you making fun of my JR story?
I guarantee you Britney refers to the child as Tater in private. Probably already bought it its first four-wheeler. Madonna, something of a tart herself, rolled Britney and left her for dead along the road of irrelevancy. You can already see the fat person in her waiting to come out. There are two choices - a latter day Shelley Winters playing matronly support roles, or Anna Nicole Smith path.
All music inevitably wilted into expensive noise after Stu Sutcliffe died.

I saw Drew Barrymore at a party a few years back and was pretty impressed. Never gave her a thought, but she was gawgeous. No make-up at all, either.
Evening, all.
Nothing else witty, or even interesting,

I guess you're not much of a blockhead then, eh?
JeffCO
Not in that sense, no. What part of "rhythm challenged" was unclear?
I'm an utter waste of non-musical protoplasm. Srsly. My mom should have gotten her money back for my piano lessons.
I do dig on chick harmony, though, for reasons that I don't care to explore.
Jeez. I chased everyone away with my drunken slur against Ian Dury.
I'm only partially here. Took another 630 photos today, so I'm Processy Galore tonight. Only 500 to go!
Won't be here much longer, though - I need to get up early tomorrow so I can walk to softball and... take pictures. Gah.

When I saw Charles Mingus, he almost had to be carried on stage. But I don't recall anyone saying, "Man, he's too old for this shit."
But he really wasn't marketed the same way the Stones were, as eternally young "rebels"...
Shelley Winters playing matronly support roles
Shelley Winters greatest moment - telling the entire country in the late 60s on the Tonight Show that Jerry Mathers, the real Beaver Cleaver was killed in VietNam.
Of course he wasn't.

My at a distance impression of Drew is that her charm is at least in part from a seeming lack of pretense. She may have burned it off during her drug-addled teen years. That and she seems genuinely to care about things other than acting.

You know who I think really does light up the screen in the most spectacular way, and I can't understand why she's not a big above-the-title star, is Catherine Zeta Jones. What is she doing with cell phone commercials, for God's sake??

Art Bell has returned to Coast. He's on now with a really good connection from the Phillipines.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire! Jumping from the annual Sun-Pluto polarity to a Vesta-Saturn conjunction (11:56AM PDT) and a Mars-Saturn conjunction (11:05PM PDT) is no simple or easy task.
That's interesting. Evidently North Korea ordered the populace to raise flags and watch the TV at that time, and they're announcing plans to launch a new missle. Not sure if they're actually firing it or not.

Make that one original Ramone???
Trying to blame Paul for the breakup of the Beatles, as some have done, or even Yoko, is kind of silly, when you consider it's a freaking miracle four guys that talented and different stayed together as long as they did, through the Hell that being THE BEAYTLES!!! had to be.

I was a bit too young for the Beatles... my older sisters caught on to the tail-end of that whole thing, and I soaked in it as a lad (heh). The Ramones were music for my cohort, those graduating from high school in the late '70s... and I never thought they'd be gone before I was 45. I guess that's a good thing... they won't be doing reunion shows and crappy retrospectives when they're fucking 65. And that's probably a good thing.

It's interesting. Sounds like I'm roughly the same age as you, but to me and my pals in high-school they came across as a novelty act...I guess it was that whole nostalgic-sounding girl-group style they had.

Paul and his Wings guitarist did it live in the '90s. The Get back tour, I think. (I had a VHS I made of a live broadcast, which had since gone walkies on me). They nailed it pretty good, I thought. Paul can play that shit better than a lot of folx realize. He could have been a Guitar God, if he'd wanted, I think. When you're that multitalented, though, you don't focus like that,I guess.

I'm so cynical these days of today's pop glory and overnite sensations to the point of puking.
But I kneel at the Beatle altar. Their shit is ground into my brainstem. Maybe I'm too old.
And vocal versatility -- he could sing as sweet as a chorister at Christmas, or scream and growl and carry on -- compare "Til there was you" and "Kansas City," two early covers.
I've been listening to "Meet the Beatles" on my iPod lately. We forget how absolutely *fresh* and different and new they sounded when we first heard them. That sure was a lot of fun, and a long time ago.

I think if you were a certain age cohort in the 60's you have no choice but to feel that way about the Beatles. They changed the fucking culture of music.
I turned to stuff like Styx, AC/DC, Queen and whatnot (I still know all those songs, too) and then I heard the Ramones... stripped-down and distilled bubblegum pop with a fast three-chord backbone, no lasers, no fog machines, no spandex unitards cut to the bellybutton - just four guys that played fast and hard rock-n-roll without studio engineering... and it was an epiphany... anybody could do this shit, maybe even ME. That had great appeal to this guy, then and there in time.
I loved AC/DC myself when I was 12 -13, and I can relate to what you're saying...but it was the bubblegum side of the Ramones that alienated me. Not my cup of tea at all. When I got into punk, I liked the more sloppy, kinda deconstructionist approach of bands like Flipper or Chrome. Or even Throbbing Gristle, for that matter.

(The second 8-track I ever owned was NAZERETH's HAIR OF THE DOG that some dude threw out of his Camaro at me while I was riding my bike... the tape was broken, so I took the 8-track apart and SCOTCH-TAPED it together and played the shit out of it...)

Simels, you're just jealous of Zappa because he co-opted Ringo.
The first 8-track I ever owned was a two-pack called "Beatles '61 - '65" or something... I played the shit out of those...
The only 8 track I remember owning was Allman Brothers Eat a Peach.
When I got into punk, I liked the more sloppy, kinda deconstructionist approach of bands like Flipper or Chrome. Or even Throbbing Gristle, for that matter.
See, I found the bubblegum more appealing, as more dangerous, somehow.

It might get into your hair, f'rinstance.
My older brother recorded a bunch of early Beatles onto an 8-track that I played for years from as early as I can remember. Some songs I still can't hear without expecting them to fade out *click* and in again.
I think if you were a certain age cohort in the 60's you have no choice but to feel that way about the Beatles. They changed the fucking culture of music.
flory | 06.18.06 - 2:05 am | #
Oh, I was raised on them. In fact, they were pretty much the only rock music we had in the house, 'cause my parents were /jazz/classical/folk snobs. I don't even own any of their records, 'cause I feel like I know 'em backwards and forwards.
Actually, though, I heard some demo stuff a while back, and it was pretty fascinating. That stuff is so monolithic and irreducible...very interesting to hear it actually being constructed.
Zappa- "We're only in it for the Money" was the exclamation point to the
Beatles' concept.
Mr.Murder
The Mothers actually had a fight over that album. The suits forced them to put their Sgt. Pepper send up photo on the inside sleeve.
I appreciate Zappa, and I wish he was around now, but his laffy album wouldn't have meant shit without the Beatles
The first 8-track I ever owned was a two-pack called "Beatles '61 - '65" or something... I played the shit out of those...
Beatles 65. First track, "I Feel Fine"
Jeebus, I'm fucking old.
The vigorous circular motion was every Jimmy Page solo rolled into one...
Jeez, all you have to say is the title: "I Feel Fine" and I hear that chord.
I think if you were a certain age cohort in the 60's you have no choice but to feel that way about the Beatles. They changed the fucking culture of music.
flory
you are 100% right about that. It was a cultural earthquake. Nothing was the same afterwards. Everything was brand spanking new. My criticisms of Sir Paul are more personal than anything else - and, honestly, I liked his music til he want out of his own, married Linda, let her sing with him etc etc etc. His music (IMHO) became increasingly commercial and BORING, and he just seemed to be more and more inlove w/himself.
But what he and the rest of the Fab Four accomplished, historically, was phenomenal. No one can take that wway from them, period. Abd I most certainly would not even try, or think to. They deserve all those accolades, and more.

It wasn't danger that appealed to me...it was...
I don't know, but it wasn't that. It was some kind of liberation, I suppose. The idea of chaos was very appealing to me back then, but in a generally positive, euphoric sort of way.
But I kneel at the Beatle altar. Their shit is ground into my brainstem. Maybe I'm too old.
I've bought a 100 CD changer six years ago. The first 25 discs I put in are Beatles CDs. I've never taken them out. I almost certainly listen to them more than the rest of my CD collection combined, which is of the order of about 400 albums.
I've listened to their albums hundreds of times, and they never get old. Indeed, even now I still find new things to latch onto, a guitar solo here, a background riff there. It's a constant case of discovery and rediscovery.
Okay, favorite Beatles song.
"Here Comes the Sun."
Oh, I was raised on them. In fact, they were pretty much the only rock music we had in the house, 'cause my parents were /jazz/classical/folk snobs

Dunno how old you are, but being raised with the music and being raised while the music was being made are two different things, I think. Their impact was more than musical, it was cultural.

satirized.
Steve, you are eternally A-OK in my book.
I loved AC/DC myself when I was 12 -13, and I can relate to what you're saying...but it was the bubblegum side of the Ramones that alienated me. Not my cup of tea at all. When I got into punk, I liked the more sloppy, kinda deconstructionist approach of bands like Flipper or Chrome. Or even Throbbing Gristle, for that matter.
Phila
For a long time I didn't like the California Punk scene stuff, even though I was an avid skateboarder... until I heard Rodney on the ROCQ stuff... Agent Orange, JFA, and the Dead Kennedys, etc., etc....
I'm leaving out a lot of "New Wave"-type stuff like Wall of Voodoo, DEVO, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Cars, and oh jeeze, a bunch of other stuff. But I really liked the Ramones and then the Clash. I miss them both a lot. Oooh and Television, and and and and...

Well, I remember the later LPs being released, and I grew up very much in the hippie subculture. But yeah, you're quite right that it's very different from being, say, a teenager when those LPs were coming out.
The other day I was puttering around in the garden, iPod in my ear, and "An Octopus' Garden" came up. Well, I hadn't heard that in God knows how long. Just how stoned *were* they when they wrote & recorded that? And how much fun were they having?

I liked the Clash and Television for a while, but it didn't stick with me over the years. Actually, a lot of the stuff I listened to back then doesn't sound so good to me now...I couldn't get through a Joy Division LP to save my life. I still listen to the Fall pretty often, and the second and third X albums. And a couple other things.
Agent Orange...jeez, I used to have some record by them. The one with "Everything Turns Grey" on it...

JeffCO
HA! Yeah that's something that's lost. I remember that I had someBowie 8-track that played the songs in "album order", without breaks in the middle of songs, so instead there was this like 3 minute gap where we just listened to the hisssss until it went to the next track...

Simels, what of the notion that the Beatles were essentially the pop predecessor
of the Beach Boys?
Mr.Murder | 06.18.06 - 2:18 am | #
Wow...interesting concept, and I
have no idea what my answer would
be.
I adore the Beach Boys, of course.
Let me think about it for a tad.
Zappa could have been an orchestra chair if need be.
The Beatles door was opened for them by American blues artists.
Mr.Murder -- can I pipe up? Other way around. The Beach Boys had already been big for some time in the US when the Beatles were just starting to break out. (I know, my sisters had BB albums before Beatles albums.) As for the musicological part of it -- I bow to the experts. I've heard that Rubber Soul was responsive to Pet Sounds (or was that the other way around?).
Okay, favorite Beatles song.
Probably something from "Rubber Soul." Reminds me of being a little kid.
Okay, favorite Beatles song.
"Here Comes the Sun."
A Harrison tune. Sinatra once said the greatest love song ever written was "Something", another Harrison tune. For what it's worth, I guess.
No, not Buffalo Springfield...
Simels, what of the notion that the Beatles were essentially the pop predecessor
of the Beach Boys?
Mr.Murder
Mr. Murder, I think you got yer time machine bollocks up.
Though Back In The USSR is a wonderful homage to the Boys.

Folding a an envelope or cardboard, a different trick for a different 8 track...
Simels, what of the notion that the Beatles were essentially the pop predecessor of the Beach Boys?
The Beatles were a predecessor? The Beach Boys first album came out in 1962, around the same time as "Love Me Do". The Beatles first album didn't come out until 1963.
I still listen to Adrenalin OD's Humungusfungusamongus a lot... because it shreds.
Favorite isn't really even relevant with them - depends on the mood and lots of other stuff. If I hear Things We Said Today I instantly recall singing it to my girlfriend on a date over 25 years ago. Lots of those kind of emotional memories with the Beatles.

There's a Tom Petty CD where he sheepishly pops in to announce that this would normally be the spot where you would turn it over if it were a tape. Some kind of strange egalitarian impulse, IIRC...

And plus, you've gotta take a break from SOD once in a while...
I've heard that Rubber Soul was responsive to Pet Sounds (or was that the other way around?).
Rubber Soul (1965) inspired Pet Sounds (1966), which in turn inspired Sgt. Pepper (1967).
Seems like the bands were meshed... each different sides of the same coin to me.
Household was raised in CA during the surf heydays so I heard the beach Boys a lot, and the generation before was Elvis.
Most of my friends fromt he era were big on the Beatles but moved on and are big time Crimson fans.
Thers, I was re-reading part of "Pascalian Meditations" this afternoon. That's some very high-quality low-key invective, there.

"Wildflowers". Great album.
Thinking of how many musicians have been influenced by them is not even funny. I currently love stuff like Belle & Sebastian and Badly Drawn Boy but can't imagine they'd be what they are without the Beatles.
Agent Orange...jeez, I used to have some record by them. The one with "Everything Turns Grey" on it...
Phila
Heh. "When You Least Expect It... Agent Orange"...
Now I listen to stuff like Robocop Krause, Franz Ferdinand, etc., etc...
Best Beatles song?
For the Benefit of Mr. Kite - calliope!!! in a rock song!!!
Come Together
Hard Day's Night
Eight Days a Week
But probably the best and one I can still listen to over and over:

I don't get B & S at all. Don't know BDB.
Speaking of modern pop stuff, I like this German gal named Barbara Morgenstern a fair amount, and I'm irritated to learn that she just played here like three days ago...I'm a dope for not noticing....
Was just before my time, so I'm not certain of who started first but it seemed like the entire studio war exchange was such an item. Each band basically playing off the other's influence.
The lyrics are as much fun as anything in the music for the Beatles. That is the hook to me.
Beach Boys were just super fuzzy tuned up superengineered.
Both had studio wonk phases and always possessed their own brand of vocals.
Hendrix had both of them beat to me. The Experience had more production value in them. Axis was like a musical apex.

Now I listen to stuff like Robocop Krause, Franz Ferdinand, etc., etc...
Modern stuff...let's see, I like Dengue Fever, the new Neko Case thing, the aforementioned Ms. Morgenstern...Lali Puna are pretty good, too.
I wish I could find more new stuff to listen to, 'cause my iPod has a heavy, heavy bias towards 1927 and that stuff isn't really the best driving music...
And on that note, I'm off to the
arms of ....whoever.
See you in the AM...
Leonard Bernstein (composer / conductor): "Three bars of "A Day In The Life" still sustain me, rejuvinate me, inflame my senses and sensibilities"
(from Geoffrey Stokes' book The Beatles, published '79)
So I should wax enthusiastic again about seeing Ms. Case up close and personal last night? Damn she has a voice on her. Sometimes artists have trouble here because of the altitude, but she never missed a note.

She's a good lyricist, too, IMO.

Nah. My father listens mostly to the jazz he listened to in his youth, but I've never been that way. I hear a good deal of what comes out, and I always find a few things I like. I'm just horribly fincky about voices, lyrics, etc.
one of the things that PB did that apparently pissed people off royally was to actually try to study French Academia... Homo Academicus is one of my favorite books ever, but it just drips acid.
I'm glad you re-introduced him to me.
Hee hee. In Homo Academicus he calls academic peer reviews something like "evidence of a consipracy wherein everybody conspires to conceal from everyone truths known to all."
Pretty bracing stuff.
My balls are the most powerful force in the universe.
Supergrass are OK, I guess. And there was a Broadcast LP I kinda liked.
I dunno...there's a lot of stuff I think is good in kind of an abstract sense, but I'm not actually driven to listen to it.
Fox Confessor (which I really really like).
The last song's kind of a dud, but the rest of it's pretty solid, IMO. If the whole thing were as good as the first three songs it'd be terrifyingly good.

Zachary Kronenberger, a four-year officer with the DeKalb County Police Department, is accused of violating his oath by trying to bribe another officer to fix a traffic ticket.
DeKalb County Officer Mark Maphet was charged with drunken driving and criminal damage to property stemming from an off-duty dispute over a parking spot last December, police said.
DeKalb County sheriff's Deputy Jimmy Lee Butler Jr., who was fired in November 2005, is accused of bringing drugs, tobacco and other banned items to the county jail.

Universal paranoia about ANY email provider is justified today, and should be enough to tell you how to use email, as an unsecured channel.

RE: Gmail.
If I were to use Gmail for anything of a sensitive nature, I'd just attach a PGP file. But then, that's just me.
Look, the Feds can already monitor your email with the coerced cooperation of your ISP. That's more worrisome than some bot at Google scanning your bitstream for keywords that might lead to you getting an ad or two on your inbox screen.
Someone sends someone else a password protected ZIP file via Gmail, well, it's one among millions every day. And if that ZIP file contains a PGP encrypted file, well, hard cheese for the Google bots and the NSA/FBI.
Gmail is certainly good enough for a CD of music or a video file.
The way I see it is that every byte I send/receive can and is monitored. 99.99% of those bytes, I don't care about. The rest pass through PGP first.

lieberman.php. There are also other games there: bush rampage, bush-rice-terror, bush shootout, dancing bush and Blair and other political games as well. Feel free to comment for I plan to make more.
Anyways, back to the meaning of July 4th for my kids.
I was watching all the fireworks outside with my kids, and my 8 year old daughter asked me to explain what was Independence day all about. I gave her the story about colonial settlers under British rule and how we united with help to fight off the Brits and finally won our independence for the right to self rule. And when I told her that this is when our founding fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence, and she asked me what was that? I did not remember most of the words, but incredibly my wife did and we utter some of those magic words together. I told her that when I was a kid and read those words, I thought that they were the most beautifully written words I had ever read. And I told her that the meaning and values of that document was why I love America so much; this was the country that taught me what it meant to be equal and fair, good and just. But I also told her that half of it is no longer true, and my son, a typical Nintendo kid, interjected: “You mean, like Bush.” I did not even have to reply or convince him, somehow he already knew. In a way I should be glad that even my kids can see what is going on, but somehow I actually felt sad. Sad because they don’t know the full weight and tremendous implications of those words written so long ago. Sad because they don’t realize the power of words and the actions they can generate; and those specific words were so powerful that countless men have willingly died through the eons in their fleeting attempt to manifest and live out those words and its ideals. And sad because I grew up in a world full of idealistic ideas and enthusiasm, teaching us to not only help and improve ourselves, but all of humanity and mankind as well. Reaching the moon and back was just a small sampling of things to come. I am what I am is because of these words and it makes me sad to realize that my kids will not have these words and the absolute belief and trust in those very words (inscribed by our founding fathers) to guide and instill in them a sense of justice and equality. They know the world is not fair and they will never expect it to be fair. I have always hoped the world will be so, but I can no longer say this with a straight face to my kids that the world will be this way when they grow up or if it will ever even get any closer to those ideals; just like the moon is no longer feasible to travel to anymore, there is easy money to be made elsewhere subjugating the people of this planet.
More in then next post....
After reading the Declaration of Independence at this site: http://www.law.indiana.edu/
uslaw...eclaration.html, it struck me that I was wrong in telling my daughter that half of it was no longer true. I actually thought that most of it is no longer true. For brevity, skipping the preamble and just going through the grievances, I saw many justifiable grievances then that equally apply to now, the year 2006. Just read them for yourselves and see how many of them our government is guilty of or in the process of taking those very same rights away. I will mark the ones I feel they are guilty of.
Guilty: He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
Guilty: He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
Guilty: He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
Guilty: He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
Guilty: He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
Guilty: He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
Guilty: He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
Guilty: He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
Guilty: He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the consent of our legislatures.
Guilty: He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
Guilty: He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
