“Jive Talkin’” by The Bee-Gees. More for the music than the visuals. I was too young to lust over Barry Gibb ~1975. I don’t even remember what show I saw it on, I was so little. Maybe American Bandstand? 

If I were in her place, I wouldn’t be giving interviews, pfft. To be rich with absolutely no press/public attention whatsoever would be my ideal. Just give me the loving man and the money—sorted!

One of the things I liked least about Barcelona when I visited was that gigantic statue of Columbus that’s at the end of La Rambla near the sea, and seeing how many people were oooh-ing and aaahh-ing over it—and many of them POC. I couldn’t wrap my mind around it, but then I realized that too many people still believe…

“But I sent you a truck, a boat and a helicopter, what more did you want!?!?!?”

Boy, that sure was a “blink and you’ll miss him” appearance, wasn’t it?

Well, between this and a Republican state rep in GA who threatened to kill a black attorney over the damned statues, maybe it IS time to regroup the Black Panthers, I don’t know, I mean...

OMG, he LOOKS like a schmuck.

A great (but existentially sad) song from Bowie called “Slip Away” starts with an audio clip from that show. Apparently, John Lennon got Bowie into watching Uncle Floyd back in the day.

Ha! I had a crush on Alasdair Gillis as a girl.

The first time I saw this dude, I thought he was some sort of kin to Tony Robbins. And in any event, his whole affects comes off as him being a huckster. I thought Paul charged Christians to use discernment. I’m not a Christian, but was raised in the Pentecostal church and had to read the Bible through several times.…

David Bowie’s career!

His entry on the SPLC’s website is illuminating; a huckster and failed comedian whose latest shtick got away from him. I don’t feel the least bit sorry for him. Rush 3.0? Whatever, dude.

This is crazy to me, the whole thing. I worked (for an entire week!) in the ad department of The Onion in its first year when it was a coupon shopper on UW-Madison’s campus—but with jokes. I’m, well... not shocked, exactly, but there is no way I could have ever imagined in 1988 that The Onion would become part of a…

They think indigenous people (who they tried to annihilate to steal the land, remember) also don't have the right to live here, which is just… ::Eric Wareheim head explosion::

He's trying to "make way for the Homo Superior", eh? Never mind that we're all just teeny specks on a pebble that's floating in the vast darkness of the universe? Oh, well. Good luck, fella!

Whoops. Mea culpa!

I heard Wow in April, and I thought was OK, if a little forced in terms of peppiness, but I'll withhold full judgement until October.

Isn't Trader Joe's owned by Aldi? Where I live is apparently not well off enough to have a Trader Joe's, I guess. The nearest one is an hour's train ride away. There is an Aldi in my area, but I found out pretty quickly that their food is cack.

Stephen Miller is one of the most self-loathing people who externalizes deep inner shame to hurt others that I've ever seen. Like, there is something wrong with that boy beyond garden variety sociopathy.

The HBO series OZ, because at the time I was a PA on the show for the first season in NYC, before they moved it out to Jersey. Too bad I was in the office, so I have no juicy gossip about Dean Winters or Harold Perrineau. Sorry.
