    Don Henley--what a song writer! Your second video won't play for me, always something.

    This is a new video to me, but I love the song. Somehow, I think you've heard it before:

    Watched a new to me movie named "Fay Grim" last night. Starring Parker Posey, an old fave. The soundtrack had a familiar riff, played maybe three times altogether. What do you know, stolen from "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" from Pink Floyd.

    Parker played a vampire in Blade 3.
    A very vicious bitch she played. As she is dying a vamp hunter looks her in the eyes and most sincerely
    tells her to:

    "Wait here I'll go get help!"

    I consider this moment to be the birth of Deadpool.

    "Wait here, I'll go get help." Tee hee!

    Blade 3 isn't on Netflix, so I can't have a look at her as a vampire. I don't know why there are so many vampire movies. Maybe because the Large and in Charge are literally sucking the life out of us for their fun and profit? Wonder why so very few films expose this? Can't remind the proles of the truth too often!

    I assume there will be a Deadpool 2. It will take a miracle for it to be as funny as Deadpool the 1st.

    Forgive my shortage of proper names here, But the Star (The guy in the superhero thighs) of Dead pool co-stared in blade 3. He plays essentially the same character as Deadpool. or rather Deadpool seems the maturation of a character first seen in Blade 3.

    "Lady in Red." Such beautiful women are far too easily thought of as virtuous. Confusing beauty and virtue. It's so easy for that to bedevil me. Must say that beautiful women strike me hard.


    In response to the "Video on demand" thread of today...



    Conducting with a toothpick, who knew such a thing was possible?

    I just can't understand how this can be. I listened now perhaps 50 times. Her face so intelligent and sensitive she awakens sensitivity. I watch and I would swear she understands every aspect of what she is doing.

    Every now and then we ducks give birth to a swan.

    I hope you don't mind that I wish to spread my fixation among my friends.



    If humanity is to have a very last day, I would want her to sing us out. To sing until the silence takes us.

    He must have something going with that toothpick!

    A thoroughly enjoyable presentation. I haven't really listen to Bolero in many years. As exotic a piece of music as ever I heard,

    See him as an old man, some say broken, Estranged from family and alone in this world. A world entering yet another useless and bloody war. A prodigy of Music, some say unequaled. Now, some say being forgotten, pushed aside by younger men....forgotten!

    The finest ears in music, now stone deaf, never to hear another note. Some say he was embittered.

    So what has a lifetime in music taught hm? What has it given him to see him though such a fate?
    He wrote, some say his finest work.

    He reach out to all of us and shared with us his innermost certainty.

    That this to shall pass
    and that when it does:

    "All men shall be brothers."

    It is genuinely unfair to expect an orchestra to follow an invisible wand. That toothpick looks like it is used, as well. Quelle uncouth!

    I was thinking that the orchestra was able to stay in time just by reading the expressions on his face.

    There is something out of the ordinary about this man's face. He seems both very intelligent and some how stupid at the same time. Sensitive and drunk all at once. I really quite liked him!

    Yes and no. In the early years "Paint it black," "Ruby Tuesday"and the like really hung me out to dry.
    But I'm a lyrics guy and it can be impossible to understand the lyrics at times. But over the years they have always come up with at least one song that surprises and delights every other album or so.
    Like "when the lord gets ready, you gotta move."
