In was on this day in 1876 that Wagner fulfilled his dream and opened his festival theatre with Der Ring des Niebelungen.

Stop right now. Stop for a moment of awed silence.

Now. Get back to work.

Can't Afford to Live, Can't Afford to Die. [Jul. 19th, 2009|12:08 am]
Obits in Dallas are $85.00 per column inch.

So, when I die do not expect to read about it.

Just wanted to let y'all know.

From Ms. Manners [Jun. 29th, 2009|11:48 am]
...This is why we have rituals: So that people under the stress that the bereaved presumably feel do not have to improvise. As anyone knows who has attended an embarrassing wedding, amateurs are not good at inventing ceremonies, even for themselves.


I agree. Weddings are embarrassing. Amateurs stink.

Clearly [May. 13th, 2009|06:35 pm]
Clearly President Obama must nominate a black Jewish lesbian woman of Hispanic origins to the Supreme Court.

To do otherwise would be foolhardy.

Christian Socialism [Apr. 16th, 2009|10:16 am]
"There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned land or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. They laid it at the apostle’s feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need."
--- Acts.

Take that, MegaChurch Bitches!

Suck It, Non-Believers [Apr. 8th, 2009|10:47 pm]
There's a special about Philip Glass on KERA 13 tonight.

He's being proclaimed an American Master.

Those who still don't believe may suck an egg.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Press Conference [Feb. 9th, 2009|07:57 pm]
Not an usual press conference at all in the context of history. And yet. And yet. A thought crossed my mind suddenly, unlooked for. "That's my president. MY president."

I was so proud of him. So proud again to be an American after so long.

À la recherche du temps perdu [Jan. 14th, 2009|12:22 am]
I just remembered. In 1980 or 81 that afternoon we all did that mescaline at that girl's house, the one I worked that musical with in Garland, Jeff and Amy must have snuck off to the bedroom to have sex while I was watching The Blues Brothers.
Sometimes I am just stunned by how naive I was. Stunned.

NO EL! [Dec. 3rd, 2008|09:23 am]
There are two sounds at Christmas, sacred music and secular NOISE.

I tell y'all if Frosty the Snowman came to my house I would put him in the microwave oven one fuckin' limb at a time and make him watch. I would laugh like Dr. Mengele.

Feliz Navidads, y'all.

The catish word for dog is the exact same word as the dogish word for dumbass.

True fact.

From a Pastor I Admire [Nov. 12th, 2008|09:59 pm]
"I’ve searched and searched the Gospels, which record the words of Jesus, and nowhere do I find that Jesus condemns anyone for whom they love. Jesus does, however, condemn those who take the Holy Scriptures and interpret them so rigidly that the letter of the law is supplanted by the spirit of the law. Jesus does condemn those who treat others as “less than.” Jesus also says that if we want to gain heaven that we should give away our possessions to the poor, and that we should feed the hungry, visit those in prison, and care for the widow and the orphan.

It seems that, according to Jesus, God wants you to live fully as God has created you to be. God wants you to love others as you would yourself. God wants you to care for those who are considered “less than” by our society. So, let me say to you, those of you who are gay and those who are straight: God loves you exactly as you are, exactly as God has created you to be."

Update on Pubic Trends [Nov. 8th, 2008|06:54 pm]



I think this dude is a pretty good example of what is now in style. Rather than totally shaving, it is now current to clipper your nest down to stubble. I think I'm okay with that. I don't know though.
