Tuesday. Monday's Do-Over.

{shopping} Going for that Instant Slut look for Halloween? Buy the Black Slut Pantyhose With All Over Runs. Now on sale for $13.49....for pantyhose with runs in them. $13.49 for something I can probably dig out of my trash??

{music} Anyone watching PBS's The Blues show? It's excellent. What makes it more interesting to music lovers is that it shows the blues pioneers' songs interspersed with newer artist's versions of the old standards. I didn't know Cream's recording of Skip James' "I'm So Glad" raised money for a life-saving operation for James.

{print} Pop, pop. SSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssss. That's the sound of two deflated egos, Chuck Klosterman and Neal Pollack, after reading Village Voice's Nick Catucci's piece, No Feelings. Caution: Contains picture of a middle-aged, pasty, flabby white man sans shirt. Snarky overindulgence must be fattening.

VV has another nice story on Parker Posey by Michael Musto.

{Survey} Women Over 40 Seek Younger Dates - Why not? I've gone with much, much younger and a whole hell of a lot older. Umm, the details really aren't necessary.

Hi there. Having trouble getting the old ass in gear? Why not cast the runes to see what Monday holds for you? Or you might enjoy Buddha Minders this Monday morning. Ok. I'm going to go visit you now and also visit three new weblogs today.

{overheard} Wesley Clark. There's just something inharmonious 'bout a liberal general. Like a vegan coyote. And a civilian (well, a National Guard deserter) is our current prez. It's too easy to hop aboard just anyone's bandwagon these days if it looks like it can run over Bush and Co.

Good morning. I like Thursdays. Even though I have to get up at 3:30 am for an early out of town appointment each week. Fortunately, it's always followed by an early breakfast with friends and/or family. I got one of those "Where's George?" dollars back in change when I paid for breakfast. The web site and "Please Enter Serial #" were stamped onto it.

Amina Lawal is free! She's the Nigerian lady who had a baby out of wedlock and was to be stoned to death according to the laws of her area. Humanitarian groups stepped in and got her a reprieve for two years of breast feeding her baby. Now her 2 yrs is up and the courts have stepped in again. Lawal's case had become the focus of human rights groups around the world who were outraged at the sentence that Lawal should be buried up to her neck and then have stones thrown at her head until she was dead. I've followed her case as have many bloggers, so this is a sweet victory.

Sufi saying

I've had a wonderful time, but this wasn't it.

::Hey, it's Monday! Wake me when it's over.

::If you knew the US were poised for attack at both coasts and major ports, either from terrorists or whomever, planes had already been overtaken, which Democratic presidential contender and their cabinet would you like to see in the White House? Lieberman, Dean, Sharpeton? According to my personal survey, the answer's overwhelmingly Wesley Clark, kicking major terrorist ass. If we're all in paranoia mode at election time, Clark may get the nod. Now, forget national security issues for a moment. Who do you want in charge that'll pump up the US economy? I'm still trying to figure out how such a Hawk as Clark decided to run on the usually Dove-ish Democrat ticket.

General Clark takes instant lead days after entering Democratic race. Just indicates to me the that the democratic nomination for President will continue to surprise us for some time to come.

Jimi Hendrix died on this day in 1970. So glad I was able to see him before he left. I had just gotten an older model red convertible and tried it out that weekend. It was the first time I'd ever seen riot squads and riot gear, as cops stood arm's length apart in front of the stage, facing the crowd. Daring anyone to try and come any closer. Before long, my friend and I were standing up against them, trying to get as close as we possibly could to Jimi. (click for ticket image)

Peter Max - Great Pop Artist who made his debut in the 60's and is still going strong. View some of his classics as well as his newer work.

DAVID LETTERMAN, 56, taping his show, reportedly told his audience that he would soon become a daddy. The mother-to-be is his long-time girlfriend, REGINA LASKO. The good thing about being an older father? By the time the kid is old enough to get into trouble, Mr. Letterman said he'd be dead.

"Shit stinks and the sky is blue!" wails Bush.
"Yeah!" "Damn right!" Applause, applause.....goes the audience. Bush is on television now giving a speech. Why does he always give them at Military bases? I think we all know the answer to that.

::ArtCar Fest The West Coast's Largest Gathering of Art Cars! Thursday, September 25 -- Sunday, September 28, 2003. Most of you understand my fondness for Art vehicles that begin with my old 1962 VW van in 1970. It was navy and I painted the moon and stars on one side; and a huge sun on the two side doors. It sounds so trite now, but no one had ever seen anything like it in Smalltown, USA, where I grew up. And very few had seen anyone like me when I stepped out of it with my enormous Robert Plant-like long, curly, bushy hair, and jewelry and leather dripping off me in my embroidered jeans or gypsy skirts. Everyone stopped and stared everywhere I went. In college, Suzy Creamcheese had a VW bug that was painted like a fish with fins attached. We both happened to be Art Majors, so it seems like a painted vehicle certainly reflects your lifestyle, too.

Otis Redding's Birthday Today
I just heard "Try A Little Tenderness", sung by Otis Redding, (on my local NPR station WNCW) and remembered that I had performed that song ages ago. It was one of those good songs that I sounded better on the more alcohol I'd consumed. For me as the singer, and probably for the listener as well. Hell, come to think of it....I never did sing without some libation or mind altering substance. I may not have taken many leaps without alcohol. It didn't always suck. [cunning, baffling......altogether now]

Jack Black reportedly sent a humorous videotaped request for the "Immigrant Song" to the three surviving members of Led Zeppelin, who subsequently gave their approval for it to be used in the upcoming School Of Rock. The soundtrack also includes music by Cream, the Ramones, T. Rex and more.

Dave and Madonna?
Fresh after performing with Christina Aguilera at the MTV Video Music Awards last week, Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro tells Launch.com that he'd like to work with Madonna.

Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro continues to make plans to marry Carmen Electra in November, but he's not really involved too much in the details. As far as the wedding being filmed for a reality TV show, Navarro said they've been approached about it, and he really doesn't want to hire a videographer. "We don't want to miss the moment of the wedding so we're on the fence about it," Navarro told AP Radio. Read more here.
