I think it is interesting that there are 36 posted comments and only one that addresses the Maclean/Steyn trial. It is a kangaroo court that strikes at free thought and attempts to criminalize opinion speech. (BTW, MaryC, I’d be interested in any direct quote from Steyn’s piece that you believe illustrates his hatefulness.) I would think that the journalist in Nancy could muster something stronger than “Not a good idea”. Ya-think??? Where’s the outrage against these “Human Rights” tribunals? Note to the thin-skinned: Freedom from offense is actually NOT a human right, but free thought and speech is.

Wasn’t familiar with the Apocalypse Now reference, quite frankly, I’ve only seen that movie once and that was a long time ago.

Joy of Cooking? Now there’s a name I had completely forgotten but somewhere around here, I’ve got a Quicksilver album.

When I was in high school, every Monday morning I’d go to the school library and read the New York Times entertainment section, just slobbering over the entertainment ads for who was playing in NYC. I did get to New York, finally, but didn’t make it to the Fillmore East, come to think of it, Fillmore East probably wasn’t open yet the first time I was there.

When I saw Cindy McCain on something or other last night, this and an earlier NN.C post popped into my head and I wondered if the caption might read “Plastered-on c**t.”

I have Allman Bros Live at the Filmore East on my song rotation for bike rides now. It’s actually the complete Filmore concerts. A re-release.

Smoky, eh? I know that forecast. That’s when it’s October wildfire season in So Cal.

I went to the Fillmore East, Dexter. I saw Jethro Tull there, and the Mothers of Invention. Edgar Winter, Humble Pie and Albert King too. There were others but for some reason my memories are foggy.

Speaking of apocalypse, our weather forecast here today calls for “smoky”. There’s a 40,000 acre wildfire in a pocosin some 200 miles east of here, and the smoke is so thick people are having to burn their headlights as far west as Raleigh and Greensboro.
I thought the guy on the next farm over was burning a stack of tires. It’s reassuring to know he’s not that big a dipshit.

The Fillmore West in San Francisco was legendary, but by the time I got there, I didn’t know how to act. Joy of Cooking opened and the headliner act was Quicksilver Messenger Service. Both groups were really jammin’, and I just wanted to move around to the beat , you know—like people DO at concerts, right? But the Fillmore crowd just sat on the floor absolutely motionless—damn did I feel out of place. I was celebrating being released from from my military service active duty and I wanted to get loud and party…but that place was like a morgue. At least I got there once.Oh…more than likely no one remembers Joy of Cooking…as I recall, three girl guitar players and great vocals .
Graham had Fillmore East in NYC, too, I believe, but I never made it there.
And if anyone missed it, Apocalypse Now was re-released several years ago as Apocalypse Now Redux, with more scenes which never should have ever hit the cutting room floor.
There is a dinner scene on the rubber plantation which spells out the true nature of US involvement over there.

the way I heard it, if you want to run a Unitarian out of town you burn a question mark in their front yard.

I can say that, I was married in a Unitarian church not long after a tornado came through town and took out, among other structures, several churches. so some or all of them, I don’t know which, went in together on a plain, cinderblock temporary building and put all their stuff up in the sanctuary for use at their various service times.

On the wedding day, my seventeen-year-old brother was rather confused by the variety of signs, equipment, and so forth around the room. then again, we were raised “unchurched,” as the Baptists say it, so what do we know?

Scouts… my son is an Eagle and taught younger Scouts at the district camp east of Nashville last summer. I can only hope he would do so well in a dangerous situation.

I’m a big Obama fan and I love Michelle, but I heard her with my own ears refer to her husband as “baby daddy”. But that’s OK because she’s the one who said it, it’s her culture. Not Fox’s.

On another note I have a theory that the Republicans are doing these attacks on Michelle strategically to call off the dogs from Cindy McCain’s drug abuse and stealing drugs from her own charity which she was caught doing. They know that Obama would not stoop to using that against McCain and they want to make damn sure that nobody else does. By pre-empting with attacks on Michelle and having Dems object strongly, they can call the Dems on hypocrisy later if anyone tries to mess with Cindy.
