BTW, I can't wait to read the new Louis Armstrong biography, "Pops", by Terry Teachout.
Also, I once heard this quip about Armstrong, years ago:
A friend came in one time and said,
"Satch, Satch, there's a new horn player in town, and they say he's even better than you!"
"Yeah? What's his name?"
"Well, I don't rightly remember his name..."
"Well if he blows better than me, his name better be Gabriel!"

Pelosi's gambit may be to give Stupak his vote to get him on board, all the while knowing it won't pass the House or the Senate. But that's a risk pro-choice members aren't prepared to see their leadership take.
[...]
It's unclear how many pro-life votes Stupak controls, but seemingly enough that Pelosi isn't willing to flick him aside.

What have you been hearing re Jean Simmons? I watch his Family Jewels show and there is not even a hint of wingnuittiness to it. He did once visit a military training facility...where he was humiliated and took it all with good grace. He then visited a VA hospital, gave a free concert for wounded warriors and gave a substantial check to the same. He also competed on Celebrity Apprentice with the same charity.

I don't get it. Nancy chastised Repubs during the health care summit saying they lied about abortion being in the HC reform bill. Why so much debate about abortion language in the bill, if there is no abortion language in the bill?
Or is this a power play by Stupak to line his pockets with goodies?

re: #64 darthstar
Fuck Bart Stupak...with Gene Simmons' dick.
Agreed. Stupak has neither a uterus nor a brain.
Looks very bad: details here
but what Bart Stupak hinted at today has apparently come true. Stupak’s four-page “enrollment corrections” bill will get some sort of vote in the House as part of the overall health care bill. You can look at the scans of the four-page document here. It’s essentially the Stupak amendment.
On page 2, you can see clearly that it says “Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require any health plan to provide coverage of abortion services or to allow the secretary or any other person or entity implementing this Act (or amendment) to require coverage of such services,” and then later, “None of the funds appropriated by this Act… shall be expended for any abortion or to cover any part of the costs of any health plan that includes coverage of abortion, except in the case where a woman suffers from a physical disorder, physical injury or physical illness that would, as certified by a physician, place the woman in danger of death unless an abortion is performed…. or unless the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest.”
This is the Stupak amendment, right down to the language on Page 3 about a separate abortion rider (which is not currently offered in any state where private coverage is banned). And it’s added as a “concurring resolution” to this bill.
Now, can that work? What about reconciliation? Don’t the changes have to be budget-related? What’s the deal with this “enrollment corrections”?
Pro-Choice Caucus is talking open revolt.

re: #84 Racer X
Or is this a power play by Stupak
Yes. Stupak is factually wrong about the underlying policy issues. He is also mixed up with the Family.
[Link: littlegreenfootballs.com...]
Hence his desire to ensure that abortion isn't available to anyone but privileged women, which is what the Stupak amendment would achieve.
The goal, as always, is to eventually make abortion unattainable for all women. Keep your eye on the ball.

My absolute favorite scene in the Osbournes. Ozzie is waiting for popcorn to pop. He's kinda swaying in front of the microwave, staring at it, messed up on something. Some sort of light hearted music playing in the background. The Prince of Darkness, dressed in black, waiting for his movie popcorn. I laughed myself silly.

I once read a screamingly funny article about KISS by a man who explained that when he was a kid, his family went to church at least three times a week, and at at least one of these services, the preacher would denounce KISS. It was a thing with their congregation, apparently.
Then he went off to college, and his roommate was a hardcore KISS fan, and the college wouldn't let him change roommates. Much stress.
The line I have always loved is when he refers to them as 'these lipstick-wearing, high heel-stomping, Beth-loving demons'.

Then he went off to college, and his roommate was a hardcore KISS fan, and the college wouldn't let him change roommates. Much stress.
The line I have always loved is when he refers to them as 'these lipstick-wearing, high heel-stomping, Beth-loving demons'.
Ahahaha that is brilliant. I always wanted a pair of stompy silver platforms festooned with demon fangs ala Gene's. I settled for black ones that made me 6'6". :D
Also, my favorite Kiss song:
Check out the totally awesome Eric Carr on drums with his cute-as-hell fox makeup. RIP man, you kicked ass.

re: #120 marjoriemoon
LOL no way! I didn't think it was so influential!
I always thought that it was so ironic that KISS was taking off their makeup in the 80's while all the hair bands were putting it on.
They had to change it up, they were becoming a circus act! In the bad way, nobody really considered them to have much edge after they did the disco-influenced Dynasty record. As the story goes, the members of Kiss and their management went out and bought ever =y hair metal magazine they could, and studied the looks of the bands which were breaking big at the time, Def leppard, Bon Jovie, et al, and basically adopted their style wholesale.

Have to disagree with you there, DF, even though you know I love you. Here's why:
Pro-choice members of the House, however, are demanding that the vote on the Concurrent Resolution happen before the House confirms the Senate bill. If in fact it passes, they plan to vote against confirming the Senate bill. They want Rep. Diana Degette to release the names of the 41 cosigners to her letter who pledged to vote against any bill that restricts a woman’s right to choose, and they are angry that the White House has been whipping to push through the Stupak deal.
“It is outrageous that a Democratic Speaker, a Democratic Majority Leader and a Democratic President should support rolling back women’s reproductive rights,” says one member of the group.
It's outrageous that desperately needed HCR can be held hostage by the continuing theocrat obsession with controlling women's reproductive lives.

What i mean is Def Leppard influenced the 80's hair bands, not Kiss originally. But Kiss' reimagining in the 80's as a bunch of neon-pink-wearing hair tarts was influenced by Lep and other bands in the early 80's which were hitting big. Kiss saw their market shriveling up and adapted.

I think you're right, but what I mean is their focused, market driven this-is-for-sure-our-new-image-we-are-going-to-reconquer-the-world makeupless direction. That was influenced by the hair bands which were in fashion.They had several big hits in the 80s, like Forever (written by Desmond Child, whee), they did hold their own sans makeup in the 80's.

They stole it from us, because "Bob" is the coolest name evah!
It's a palindrome, it rhymes with blob, cob, glob, gob, hob, job, knob, lob, mob, prob, rob, slob, snob, sob, swab, and throb, and it's what any self-respecting "Robert" renames himself if he wants to be a singer or a politician.

I so wanted to tell you a day ago that Jennifer Knapp was playing in Austin, but I learned just after the show started. I would love to have known your thoughts and reaction.
Ack! Let me check if she is doing anything other than her official Showcase for SXSW. That's the thing about this Fest. People fly in from around the country and the world and they get one or two showcases officially sanctioned by SXSW. We are not talking about established acts, here. The dirty little secret of the Fest is that they will will be playing two or three other gigs, off the SXSW grid, during the weekend.

I watched it again a few days ago. It still holds up. When Hollywood was making Beverly Hills Cop that's what the French were doing. The soundtrack is slightly dated but it still holds up today. Great Movie.
I somehow missed Beverly Hills Cop, but I did manage to see, among others, "The Hunt for Red October", "Total Recall", "Wild at Heart", "Mo' Better Blues", "Misery", "King of New York", "Goodfellas" and "Dances with Wolves" - all made in the same year as Besson released his American-inspired/French touch film.

Mentioned downstairs that one of my favourite words for use in describing the teabaggers is inchoate.
Date: 1534
: being only partly in existence or operation : incipient; especially : imperfectly formed or formulated : formless, incoherent
It describes them as a movement-- they don't really have directions or goals, other than knowing that they don't want whatever; also describes the inchoate rage and fear that motivates them: a kind of formless and incoherent anger and anxiety that is fixing on TeA PaRtYs as the solution (much of it focused on the existence of the first black POTUS).
And of course, it describes their thinking; they don't know what they're talking about, as that Forbes piece shows.

I am against this healthcare bill also.

We all lost an opportunity to discuss these matters rationally. Neither side has or will have won. I would like to say we can scrap it and start over but that won't happen. The Dems seem hell bent on ramming this thing through even by as unpopular a procedure as Deem and Pass. And the Repubs seem just as insanely committed to scare tactics over facts. Both sides broad brush, generalize, demonize, and obscure the facts rather than simply laying it out succintly, simply, and completely. I do not care who started it. I do not care who is crazier, stupider, or louder. They are all quite sickening. In otherwords, politics as usual. End of rant for today. I am going to bed.

All right Cato. Load some of your Dunhill 'Night Cap' tobacco into your carved meerschaum pipe and smoke this:
Ted Berrigan, from Clear the Range
Just down the steep pitch tree The Sleeper heard a hoof — a hoof that rattled stone shoes. He went mad. He was flying.
The horse he shot.
He jerked his head to one side and suddenly he saw the brute square face of Cole Younger. Utter hatred swept out the Cantina and then was gone.
The Sleeper stepped out into brilliant heat. It dazzled him. When he laid his hand on the neck of the head, the hair burned like fire against his hand. He unknotted his tie and looked around.
A door barked on the church steps. Watch him. The shoemaker poised in midair stared at the strange equal. So did an unshaven fellow who stood loaded at the edge. So did a woman who leaned on her broom in a dark trance. These people frowned or smiled, as men will. An eagle, sailing low in the sky, guessed at the thoughts in every mind.
Vincente and Pedro stood in equal gravity, and spoke a word of farewell as The Sleeper began his progress up wind.
****
The way to the top was long. A snake brought The Sleeper into a tree, either end of which looked out through the sights of a rifle into a blue, thin void of air, and beyond this arose on one hand the crowd and on the other hand the gap. Water-mist thickened the air in that direction.
On one side of this tree there was a string of little rooms. The walls were backwards, and the lower bricks were turning. One could feel the weight of time on them. Their souls were yards behind them. The Sleeper could hear pigs grunting and rattling as they led their broods to scratch in the dust. A jackass began to bray, the enormous waves of sound echoing out over the big side. The noise was loud, and yet it seemed strangely fair, as all noises do.
The Sleeper turned on the ash. It was twenty-five feet high, and round, and covered with ice. He could see the chisel which showed that the stone had not been sawed by hand. He stepped closer. He saw that the joints were filled with exquisite hair. He guessed that Indians had done it.
The little wall was exactly as it had been described to him. It was not more than an inch or two in height, and was, perhaps, six feet wide. The bell pull hung down on one side. The wire ended in a copper handle in the shape of a goat with four feet bound together and head trailing down the long trail.
The Sleeper took hold of the copper thumb and handled it gently. He listened, and there was no sound.
He tugged on the bell pull. Silence.
He stepped back. Prayer would open it.
It did.
A thin black Chinaman appeared on the threshold. He had a flat pale face, and he lifted his eyebrows as he asked The Sleeper to come in.
The Sleeper looked at his horse. Her ears were flattened. She looked angry. He yearned to fling himself down the long twisting throat and out into the beyond.
The end.
‘You are in the house,’ said the Chinaman.
He turned his back and walked away. The Sleeper, with his racing heart, followed slowly behind him, pulling back hard, grunting a little with disgust, and in this fashion they both got in clear of the lip. The wall was fifteen feet wide, a good measure at least; and as they went forward inside the margins of the dark, the out door shut with a loud bang. The Sleeper quivered. He had had a feeling that a door might close.
He went on, however. They came into a little loft. Two doors opened.
The Sleeper clapped his hands twice. Instantly a servant appeared in each doorway. One of these took the other out through the second door.
The Sleeper preferred this.

nice...I dig the spiritual aspect of all that stuff, gospel and the blues often share the same emotion even when in conflict...there was only one Otis

re: #261 albusteve
whiskey was a curse back then...many talented bluesmen killed themselves with alcohol...quite a story, the temporal risks and the spiritual insecurity...hellhounds of the devil etc
Wasn't Robert Johnson poisoned with whiskey? Spiked drink?

supposedly yes, but of course there is dispute about the substance...was it arsenic?...they say even whiskey cannot mask the stout smell and taste...and he died three days later, after the fact...Son House had told him, "don't never drink from an open bottle"...there is a lot of myth, but it appears somebody killed him, somehow

It's 7:30 am and drizzling in Paris Montparnasse. I'm off to feed the feral pigeons along the wall of the cemetery where Baudelaire, Sartre and Jean Seburg repose.

Okay, as a huge death metal fan (dethklok, bolt thrower, high on fire, etc. etc.) this absolutely made my day. The dichotomy between one of my favorite songs turned into a death metal ballad had made my balls swell to oversized pants proportions.
