Just another Haiku...An Ode to Slippy

Ah...the great snow day,

sitting home with the blizzy,

pugs and I are HIGH!

Haiti Benefit Songs: Ur Doin It Rite

Does anyone remember...

the classic Athas library haiku? I think the last part was "Mop me up"?

New York AM comfort image.

Pure, distilled fatherhood.

I guess this is how the whole durned human comedy keeps perpetuating itself.

It Will Begin Here...

Sol? Saturday?

Gaga Got Nada

We Are the World: There Can Only Be ONE.

Dave alerted me to the new version, and I mean, Jesus, what a bunch of fuck-monkeys were allowed in that studio. They even used MJ ghost footage! That kind of thing is going to bring BACK African hunger, which all these artists so heroically ended:

I mean, I'm sorry, that is a musical POWERHOUSE. When you lead-off with Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, and the Gambler, you have MJ, Springsteen, and Dylan batting clean-up, and then you close with Ray Charles? You aren't topping that. And are there some jokers in there? Sure. I think I saw Max from Saved By the Bell. But still--color me inspired.

Two final thoughts:

-Diana Ross effortlessly blows everyone away.

-I read that Lionel Richie and MJ wrote this song in twenty minutes.

Darrell Green... Liar? Freak of Nature

Ok, I understand there are optimistically 3-4 people on this blog who would appreciate the insanity of this story. But Is this possible at all?

4.2 at 40 and 4.4 at 50!?!?

That's beyond insane. That means at age 50 Darrell Green would be one of the 10 fastest guys at the combine.

CHORUS
Such a day, I mark thee, whereupon the winter of our discontent is ne’er made glorious summer. A gentleman wiser than myself did say that on some such days, thou exits, pursued by a bear, and on others, the bear exits, pursued by you.

THE KNAVE
By my troth, a good philosophy. Was’t of the Orient?

CHORUS
Nay, far from it. I mark well thy fashion, good Knave.

THE KNAVE
And I thy fashion, stranger.

CHORUS
Many thanks.
If I may crave a boon, may I request
That thine ungracious mouth be less profane,
Spoke less in cursing word, and more in craft?

THE KNAVE
What dost thou speak upon, O damned fool?

CHORUS
I jest; well-spoken, Knave. Be of good ease;
Exeunt now, the tumbling tumbleweeds.

Snowglobe Music

A whole week without posts! I guess people must be distracted by Google Buzz.
