The popular music performers that Margaret and I loved to go see in concert were Joan Armatrading, Betty (the group) and The Roches. Betty moved to New York in the mid-80’s I think, so we only saw them once or twice, but we saw Joan Armatrading and The Roches several times over the years. I’ve …

Camille Paglia marches clueward
Writing in Salon, Camille Paglia reminds me of the story of the seven blind men trying to describe an elephant based on the part of the elephant each one held.

Jim Pepper, who wrote “Witchi Tai To” — his version takes a minute or so to get started: The version I first fell in love with, by Jim Pepper’s band, Everything Is Everything, from 1969: Brewer and Shipley’s version (their Web site explains they heard it on the radio and changed some of the lyrics …
Beauregard in the catnip
I am practicing compressing photos in iPhoto for publication on the Web. I took photos and promised to publish them here when I attended the July 4 Tea Party in Bel Air (Maryland), the Sen. Benjamin Cardin “healthcare reform” town hall in Towson, the healthcare reform protest at Congressman Frank Kratovil’s office in Bel Air, …
