William Orbit: The 1993 Masterpiece


You know who you are. You need a break. Maybe 8 minutes. Slip on your headphones, lock the door, shut your eyes.
God is in the details. A bicycle bell perhaps.

And you start swimming and swimming and swimming and swimming.
And you never stop swimming until you reach the ocean
And you're swimming into the sunset without me


And I find myself suddenly waking up
And there are four young girls
Giving me water from a vine leaf
Just dropping it onto my tongue


Nothing more, you surround me
Break on through, release me
Nothing more, you surround me
Break on through, release me

A scarecrow that actually does its job

Unforgiven

Zappa Trivia


Here’s a little snipette that explains why Zappa rulez: His album Jazz from Hell is the only instrumental album ever labeled with the PMRC’s “Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics” label. The parental advisory goons were offended because of a song called G-Spot Tornado.

Sunday with Lawrence Welk: He's tokin'!

Sit down and prepare for a good laugh.

Shorter David Broder

'Power corrupts. Ultimate power corrupts Democrats ultimately'
<via WaPo>

David Broder fires up his old Underwood and as usual, hilarity ensues. Yet another 'I'm-so-disappointed' essay about all the corruption of politicians. Boo hoo. But in all his centuries of observing the Beltway, he can only conjure up two Democrats -  Charlie Rangel and Dan Rostenkowski to compare and contrast.

Oh, yeah. Hey David! BTW - last week Tom Delay was convicted of money laundering in Texas, where that is practiced almost as a sporting event.

Day Two: Zappadan

From the album You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore: Fine Girl. 1988. RIP Frank Zappa. 12/21/40 - 12/4/93.
