Lodge’s falsetto voice in the Timothy Leary homage, Legend of A Mind, is thrilling.
“Along the coast you’ll hear them boast
About a light they say that shines so clear
So raise your glass, we’ll drink a toast
To the little ma who sells you thrills along
the pier”

Would be great to see them in Amsterdam. Saw them a couple of times. One was at Stanford ‘70 or ‘71. Free pass with backstage pass. Friend, Harry Lovecraft, opened show with his comedy/magician act under his stage persona Dr Lovecraft. Fab seeing them up close. Before I carried a camera everywhere.

Second guessing, this narrative is full of them. While on unreliable ground you’re enthralled. Actors’ need to embellish so their performance feels new and vibrant each night.

How would John have fared under the fascist eyes of the malevolent MAGA mango moron given Nixon had him under FBI surveillance & tried to deport him for anti-war opinions. See thread⬆️

Musidora (Greek for gift of the muses), so iconic on the silent screen as the mysterious Irma Vep, her unforgettable portrayal helped in reincarnating the role twice more.

The weasel went mute immediately. Cat’s out of the bag. Since little Stevie’s an advocate of torture, Minister of War Hegseth should be assigned to remove his wagging tongue and while he’s at do the same to that grinning fool of a Commerce Minister Lutnick .

Indeed! FM Radio in S F Bay Area. “Big Daddy” Tom Donahue (KMPX) & Dusty Street (KSAN) always played the long version of this, Doors’ Light My Fire & The End, Chambers Bros’ Time Has Come Today, Dylan’s Hurricane, Neil’s Down By the River & Cowgirl, Floyd’s Meddle, oh yeah, In-a-Gadda-Da-vida.

I’ve been getting more & more agitated by the amount of time this malevolent MAGA mango moron has stolen from my life the past decade. That’s a lot of books I could’ve read. And a lot of what I read lends itself to the (un)reality of what’s occurring and then there I go off on that tangent again.
