Everybody's got something to hide...:

NPR did a story on this site yesterday: http://postsecret.blogspot.com/. It’s amazing.


I saw this before -- posted here?  Anyway, it makes me too sad, some of these.

The one that's freaking me out right now?  "Everyone who knew me before 9/11 thinks I'm dead."  Much as people fantasize about completely starting over again, new identity and all, I can't fathom anyone actually going through it.


the one that feaks me out most is the one that says "I love one of my children".

So many unanswered questions behind that one, and the real tragedy will be borne by the other child(ren) and may not have even manifested yet.  At the same time I think this is a very common thing that many parents are in deep denial over & at least this sender is self-aware.

We always knew Paul Harvey was nutzy-cuckoo, but he's lost his last marble:

and now you know.... the REST of the story!

he was old when I was at ABC 15 years ago... he's gotta be pushin' 90!  Rich Hall used to do a great Harvey spoof on SNL; unfortunately most of the people in the live audience in NYC had no idea who Paul Harvey WAS. But in the Red states he's God.

Wow. That's just... wow. Thanks, Paul Harvey. You can sit down now.

He was born 9/4/1918, so he's almost 87.  I always enjoyed his idiosyncratic delivery, but never listened to him enough to realize what a reactionary he could be.  Oh well.  When I looked him up on Wikipedia I also came across a good quote:

Retiring is just practicing up to be dead. That doesn't take any practice.

There are several "unauthorized" bios of him floating around, worth picking up on.  My fave Harvey story is about how he was your basic gung-ho pro-Vietnam War hawk... until his son Paul Jr became of draft age (and I believe was making noises about becoming a conscientious objector). Then Paul Sr went thru a tortured "conversion" and decided it was time for Nixon to pull out.

I sent you an invite.  I sent it to your Flem59 email address.

As for that picture of me that Geoff linked to: I guess you could say I'm a little "horny & blue".

Answer Records

WFMU's posted MP3s of numerous "answer records," such as the frightening "Dawn of Correction" (a reactionary response to "Eve of Destruction") and Lou Christie's ultra-obscure "Mr. Tenor Man."  Interesting stuff:

wow! I've never heard "Dawn of Correction" but always wanted to.  Hope they have Danny Aiello's "Papa DO Preach"!

ETA: tahnks, Gaz -- I just listened to "...Correction". Yikes!  No Danny Aiello, tho'...
