That there's a fine candidate for either volume of my Worst 1000 Jokes list, but it's by way of saying this is about 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee, what was presumably at the time a fairly standard ultra-psychedelic major network tv freakout special featuring the devil, Jerry Lee Lewis and some human primates. Sure you…
Example 1: easily select a bunch of songs and change the details. Scenario: I import songs from CD while offline, and don't sit and there enter every bit of information because I'm living my life for once, for f.... Later, while online or not, I struggle and thrash my way around this cutting edge high-tech…
Dear Ben New listener here, essentially Left by nature but striving to observe an apolitical light and seek rational, emotion-lite, facts-based discourse from all perspectives. Difficult that search has proven on the Con side...believe it or not, you seem to presently be the best fit for my criteria. Faint praise I know, but I mean…
Admittedly, it's a weak prediction: ***In the future, the letter combination making the wordsound "trump" will have evolved new meanings.*** For certain and with no reasonable room for doubt, the truth of that statement is profoundly, uncontrollably inevitable; in fact, it has already happened. BUT few…
As I listen to the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack and read the lyrics, it's clear that (especially for 1969, the year of its copyright) the character of Judas is quite self-aware. He's cognizant of his part in this grand drama, and he knows Jesus knows he knows. They have each other's number. Like in an…
Maybe we could ask ourselves, if it's important, how we will be seen a hundred years from now, two hundred years. Presuming we're there to look back, will it appear a plague of fatal politeness spread through the liberal West? Presuming a future impossible to deny, because it's the future, but reasonable to predict, based…
Say what you will about Justin Trudeau, but you must admit you were buoyed when the British press, not known for fake news purveyance, decreed him a shiny example of How To Meet President Orange Julius Caesar--sorry, stay positive--And Retain Your National Dignity. Go on, admit it. He seems to have proved himself a bit,…
I haven't mentioned anything for a while about the bright side to the current US administration (unless you're bingeing on these posts, in which case it's probably right there below somewhere), so it's time to do some catching up and give you two positives: By bringing out the worst in so many, this POTUS has…
Been light on the blogging lately, expending more mental energies on the soon-to-be-gone IMDb message boards (http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000007/nest/265821045 for some good points about it). Since 2007 I've been a denizen there, half the time talking about movies and music and writing, half about politics and philosophy and everything else. It's become something of a morass of id against…
All Presidents... lets face it. As Gore Vidal said, when you get to the Executive level you've been bought and sold a dozen times, and willingly. My big secret hope for Mr Trump was that he, as an iconoclast with a loudly trumpeted agenda to "fix", whatever that means, things and make America great, whatever…
