I once watched a PBS special honoring pop music producer David Foster. Imagine my horror, as a fan of MTV-era Chicago, to see the once-cute Peter Cetera waddling onto the stage looking like Uncle Fester, and subsequently proving that his vocal range was shot.

Philippine politics is based on patronage, name recall, and personality rather than policies. Breaks my heart and makes me want to leave.

...along with all the other stuff IB is grumbling about.

BTW, I keep wondering if we need an all-head-shaking thread. But I'm afraid it would just be 300 posts in a row of my weird political rantings. Until you all got bored and threw me out.

Speaking of Jefferson Airplane (which we were on another thread), I just found out original female vocalist Signe Anderson died on Jan. 28, the same day as rhythm guitarist/co-founder Paul Kantner.

While Signe was overshadowed by her successor, Grace Slick, she was an amazing vocalist in her own right, as this rendition of "Let's Get Together" (later a hit for the Youngbloods) shows. Signe sings lead on the second verse:



I also got to interview Signe once, for a JA fan site I wrote for. A sweet lady, she called me at work because I had included the wrong phone number in my letter, and then was gracious when I explained my mistake and asked if we could reschedule.

When the interview got underway, we chatted for maybe an hour and she answered all of my questions about the early Airplane.

Cherry blossom season in Japan is between March and May every year, but the exact dates vary per location. So if you get the chance to see the cherry blossoms blooming, you should take it.

Just finished my Hatha Yoga stretches. Have been back to doing 'em for about a month and a half now, with only 3 days missed altogether.

Feeling really good now.

According to Wikipedia, the creators of the Green Hornet tried out various colors, including blue and pink, before settling on green.

I strongly suspect if he were called "The Pink Hornet", the character would be viewed very different today.

I am currently dating someone from the Czech Republic.

He confirms that the Czech Republic is the birthplace of beer, and that the Czech people get frustrated when non-Czech people erroneously think that Germany, or some other country, is the birthplace of beer.


Why are you laughing at me? It's unkind, as well as puzzling!

So, I ran over to the library on my lunch and coming back, I was exiting at Park St. Just outside was a young woman. She took a step towards me and said "Did you spit all over the train?" I'm like "What???" then she says a little more slowly and clearly "Do you have a dollar for the train?"

I said "no"
