For those in the Buffalo, NY area, I'll be playing an all-ages show on Saturday, December 13 at Allen Street Hardware. Four other bands on the bill, 45-minute sets apiece. Music starts at 4 PM. I go on at 6 PM, backed by a full band. $10 at the door.

Peaceful and patriotic showing in Buffalo, NY today! (I tried to blur any visible faces.) #NoKings #Buffalo
Buffalo City Hall with many people and protest signs. A sign in the forefront reads, "This is what democracy looks like." Peaceful protest in Buffalo, NY. View of Federal Building. Buffalo City Hall with many people and signs in front.

Really loved this music memoir by @nikostratis.com. Excellent mix of music nerdom and heartfelt storytelling. My copy even came with a cozy for my sugar-free RC Cola. 💜
My hand is holding up a can of sugar-free RC Cola nestled in a cozy that's emblazoned with the book cover for the fabulous music memoir THE DAD ROCK THAT MADE ME A WOMAN. Oh, and the same hand is also holding up a copy of the book. There's a record shelf in the background.

From 2016...
Scene from THE GOOD PLACE. Michael says, "The committee is a bunch of ineffectual dorks in fleece vests..." Michael continues: "The Titanic is sinking..." Michael continues: "and they're writing a strongly worded letter to the iceberg."

When lawmakers take action against fascism and lawlessness, it rocks. More, please.

Burt Reynolds says "Buffalo" on a train. Burt Reynolds says, "Ooh! Think we've been in Buffalo long enough?" as he gets off a train. Burt Reynolds says "Now we're in Buffalo" to Goldie Hawn. Shot of a car driving along the water in snowy weather. The subtitles read: "Dad: so, this is your first visit to Buffalo."

Not everything is a marketing opportunity.
Photo of an image produced with a vintage "fashion plates" children's art set. Using crayon and pencil, it depicts a figure in a long skirt and cowboy boots rocketing upwards, a hastily rendered rainbow in the background, several banners surrounding it reading, "not everything is a marketing opportunity." The figure, smiling, holds a purse with its right arm and brushes away its medium-length hair with its left.

This has been my plan for years.

Reminds me of Maeby's accounting skills in the banana stand.
Still from the TV show Arrested Development in which Maeby throws out a banana for every dollar she steals in order to balance the books.

From BORN YESTERDAY (1950)
"Legislation's not meant for buying and selling." "This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhibit it." [correcting self] "Inhabit it!"

"The history of the world is the struggle between the selfish and the unselfish. All that's bad around us is bred by selfishness. Sometimes selfishness can even get to be a cause... an organized force, even a government."

I should have bought this and destroyed it.
Creepy ceramic figures on a thrift store shelf: a Keystone Cop with hollowed out eyes and a menacing moustache towers over a Newsie, hand on shoulder. The boy, who is depicted somewhat realistically, looks up at the cartoonishly, nay, frighteningly disproportionate cop with an enigmatic, almost messianic, smile.

"All I know is I'm losing my mind," Franny said. "I'm just sick of ego, ego, ego. My own and everybody else's. I'm sick of everybody that wants to get somewhere, do something distinguished and all, be somebody interesting. It's disgusting - it is, it is. I don't care what anybody says."
