I haven't watched a music video in donkey's years. But
this video of one on my favorite songs kicks ass, since it almost perfectly matches the one that plays in my head when I hear the song. This of course means that this band lives in my head. I hope the brought beer.

Today at work, I saw a dude at the registers (about 50 feet across the store from where I'm situated. He had a 'backpack,' consisting of two cardboard boxes wrapped in what looked like tinfoil. On an armature protruding from a helmet on his head was what looked like a camera. Gary, one of my homeless regulars, looked at him "From the Moon or Mars?" "Maybe SoHo," I answered. Which went to the heart of teh qeustion about the man: crazy? artist? both?

Would this make a cute evening-ish dress, or am I being delusional? I'd widen the shoulder straps, lengthen the pattern to a few inches above the knees, and make it in some non-pastel colour (i.e., orange) so it didn't look so nightgown-y. I think it would look okay — but I am afraid of the stretch factor;-)

One of the more interesting obscurities of 1970's rock was a band called Potliquor. Signed to Capricorn Records, home of fellow sothern rockers the Allman Brothers, the Marshall Tucker Band, and Wet Willie*. Hailing from Louisiana, they had a less jammy, more easygoing sound than their labelmates, with lots of touches of country and R&B and even dashes of horns. Two of their best numbers were

Unequalled: Wanna hear some 60's British R&B pop? - They're probably best known for doing the original version of "

How my parents spent their summer vacation... My 70-year-old father is a woodworker. It's his passion in life. Whenever he and my mother travel anywhere he brings back some samples of wood, such as some pieces of old whiskey barrels from Scotland. He can discourse on wood and trees for hours on end if he can find someone who will listen that long (usually, he can't, at least among his family, and can you blame us).
