  1. JT, Have you ever canoed in Timmins, Ontario?
  2. How can one even BE and American when the America one once knew has up and sailed away?
  3. If you really want to know what it might be like to return home, to your home country, again, after a very extended stay abroad, then, maybe, read something like this: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1964/07/18/the-swimmer
  4. Not me. I do not care about my home country, first. Nationalism is not first on my list. I would rather care about cowgirls...in the sand....than nationalism...
  5. What does it matter where you are from when you really cannot remember it anymore? Wherever you once were, and wherever you might happen to be now....
  6. To JT, I very much respect you. However,
  7. COMPARABLE? Everybody knows that Miami Beach will soon be underwater. The sea is inevitably rising due to Global Warming. Maybe it's not so much a good thing to be comparable to Miami Beach, these days...
  8. Are you being overly logical and overly analyzing this story? This is, simply stated, just another ethanol-fueled fiasco. One of the principle attractions of Pattaya, for tourists, is the mistaken perception that they will be permitted to run riot in Thailand without suffering justifiable repercussions. Someday, Thailand will shut down the bars which attract the riff raff. And then, the more-boorish of Russians will head to PNG, hopefully, where people may not treat them so kindly when they step out of line. May we live so long to see this day.
  9. Are we seeing, here, acted out in real life, the final chapter of "The Death of Ivan Ilyich"?
  10. Sartorially speaking, this person has much to learn. He is wearing khaki shorts with black socks. Who does this?
  11. Why not just pose this question to her BF? Why should you get involved?
  12. So, anyway, I am not too sure just why the death of Jeff Beck has affected me as it has. Maybe it is because I have, over many years, spent so much time listening to his music. Or, maybe it is because he was so suddenly struck down by what should have been, in the best of cases, a relatively easily curable illness. And, probably, it is because he was still going very strong, up until just a few weeks ago, it had seemed. So, anyway, about a day ago, I found a Blu-ray Disc (BD) copy of Beck's amazing performance at Ronnie Scott's, 2007, floating around on the internet ready for downloading. The file size is 38 GB. Maybe you can find it, too. I would happily purchase the very best recording of Beck's 2007 Ronnie Scott's performance...if I could find one. But, I cannot, so far. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_at_Ronnie_Scott's_(Jeff_Beck_album) Everybody has their own favorite recording of Jeff Beck's music. Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scott's is mine. Everybody, almost everybody, wonders what Hendrix might have done if he had lived longer. At least, Beck lived longer than Hendrix, but we wish he had lived at least another ten years. It's not so easy to find recordings of Beck playing Hendrix tunes. Have you ever wondered why? Beck could outplay Hendrix, but chose not to, maybe. So, anyway, download the 38 GB file, and you will not be disappointed. At the very least, this great recording will always remain in the cloud, Hopefully.
  13. Somebody posting this tune to YT cut this song off at the hip, before it was done.... Such is life. Such is life that life presupposes death. Without death, there could be no life. Without death, there could be no evolution, Biologically speaking.
  14. I never understood the purpose of idiotic yellow things. I would prefer a world without.
  15. To paraphrase the Great Chicago Transit Authority: DEATH is Just the BEGINNING. Believe it! I wish I could sing it to you!
  16. Why does Society, a society which truly does not care whether or not I live or die, still insist on regulating my expiration date? SUCH HYPOCRISY, is just so asenine. Sometimes, civilized society just totally disgusts me... If you know what I mean. If you don't understand, I wish I could sing it to you.... SILENCE is Golden.....when the time is right for you!
