About to wrap this bio, "an insider's story of the Beatles" written by one Peter Brown. The Peter Brown from 'The Ballad of John and Yoko', him. Can't say I gained a lot of insight on the Fab Four here; most of the stuff has been around in one form or the other for years. Gee, Ringo's one of the luckiest dorks in the world?...

I love the Beatles!! It's my all time fav band. They just released a five disc dvd. Looks worthwhile, I think you'r right about Ringo dancin on the graves of the others! He is totally charmed, kharma treats him well because he was born with that huge honker, at least thats what I think! ha ha

Yeah there's nothing sadder than watching the " Flower" Generation sell out, and as much as I love the MOD generation, I'm sorry to say that i'm not expecting too much of a rock of the ol boat. The money people from generations ago still have the money, and everyone else is just scraping by. Well I hope your birthday gets a little brighter and tighter, have a good one!

Recently seen outside a gas station - a sign advertising "Happy Hour".
At a gas station.
Now, mind you, it wasn't cheap drinks with a fill-up, but cheaper gas during Happy Hour. Yeah. All the prices were over 2 bucks a gallon, but would drop below that mark during Happy Hour. Genius.
The cruel little acolyte of Darwin in me wished it was cheap drinks,...

lol, Happy hour! Thats priceless! Could make a good American Express spoof out of that one!
You pick a good subject for a bio! Lennon was a bastard sure, but he did what he could to correct his indescretions throughout his life! He had his tantrums, vents and moments of blatent ignorence! but the cool thing is that he's human like the rest of us, and to us, as fans and followers of him and his music, that means that he's that much closer, we can almost touch him as it were!
The part that really affects me the most about him is the incident with his (best)friend Stuwart Sutcliff. After Sutcliffs death, Lennon blamed himself for the cause, and I don't think he ever really forgave himself!
I'd be interested in reading your story!

So, in between work and sleep and the occasional bout of melancholy over things global, I've been reading, Reader. Ooh, it's sharing time! What have I been reading?
First, the serious stuff. I've been reading 'The Poisonwood Bible'. Great book. Some folks might call it heavy on the manbashing. It's written from the point of view of women only, and the 'antagonist' of the tale...

A veritable Legion Of Doom, hallowed Reader. Just like on Superfriends!
This reminds me of an ad on Cartoon Network. Many things remind me of cartoons, actually, but I digress.

It's easy to villainize, it's harder to evaluate the greys and decide which one is darker.
America is an incredibly frustrated, conflicted, confused place right now. Has been since 9/11.
Though Dick Cheney as Solomon Grundy is still funny. Hell, Solomon Grundy on his own is funny.

Just read an article about the Florida legislature working to pass a stiff ban on smoking...anywhere. Indoors, outdoors, listening to the Doors, whatever. Including in bars, just like California. The ogre of second-hand smoke and it's effects on others has raised its pointed head once more.

Sounds like someone's about to cry it, then do a little dogs-of-war action.
I wish I could come up with something deep and profound here, but all I have are questions...

It sounds dumb, but Clinton wrote a big article for the New Yorker that was straight along those lines. I think Clinton was a better leader than a lot of people give him credit for. He wasn't destroying the environment and invading everyone he could.

Well, well, well...things are turning up a little, O most welcome Reader. What an interesting view I have up here on this wave.

So I make it through this fun lil' two month trial-by-fire. During that time, I watched work soak up more and more of my energy, invade my headspace, permeate me... and now it's passed. All the energy is coming back. I have this elevated level of operation in effect... and precious little in the way of outlets. It's like pulling the drainstop out of the...
