"old man, look at my diploma, I'm a lot like you were..."
yeah...  :) i couldn't think of anything to say as we were posing for my aunt, so i blurted out, "i'm gonna be a rockstar." neil said, "right on!"
I must've missed the original story somewhere, but how did that photo come about?


the full story is here. neil was just hanging out at graduation, so my aunt snapped a pic of us. after my mother ordered me to "take a picture with neil diamond." she figured it out later.


POC, what is the deal with you & older black women who juxtapose the last names of famous white guys?  Is it a trend?

I was surprised nobody mentioned this when it happened.  It was last week, wasn't it?

Lucky indeed.  Except for the getting shot part.

Armistead Maupin censoered by Texas Baptists:

(09-20) 09:58 PDT Waco, Texas (AP) --

A dining contractor has removed coffee cups with a gay author's quote from a Starbucks at Baylor University, saying it was inappropriate for the Baptist school.

Aramark, which oversees the coffee outlet, pulled the cups earlier this month from the campus store after consulting with Starbucks' district office and Baylor's dining service, school officials said Monday.

"I think they were trying to be sensitive," Baylor spokesman Larry Brumley said. "Obviously, Baylor is a Baptist-affiliated institution, and Baptists as a denomination have been pretty outspoken on the record about the denomination's views about the homosexual lifestyle."

The quote from novelist Armistead Maupin reads:

"My only regret about being gay is that I repressed it for so long. I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone. Don't make that mistake yourself. Life's too damn short."

Cade Hammond, president of the board of directors for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance of Central Texas, said he thinks the cups' removal as unnecessarily restrictive.

Pandora: The Music Genome Project

The latest iteration in music-recommendation engines:

http://www.pandora.com/

I initially input the Jefferson Starship, so it started playing "Fast Buck Freddie."  Nice start.  Subsequent entries of Three Dog Night, Dusty Springfield, Franz Ferdinand, Stevie Wonder, and War produced the following setlist:

The Knack, "Heartbeat"
The Monkees, "For Pete's Sake"
Tom Petty, "Don't Do Me Like That"
Orleans, "Reach"
The Animals, "Baby Let Me Take You Home"
Afterglow, "Dream Away"
Dusty Springfield, "Stay Awhile"
Martha & the Vandellas, "Honey Chile"
The Carpenters, "Want You Back in My Life Again" (mislabeled as "Please Mr. Postman")

They've decided that my tastes tend towards "mild rhythmic syncopation, a subtle use of vocal harmony, a vocal-centric aesthetic, major key tonality, melodic songwriting, extensive vamping, and a prominent organ."

I couldn't have said it better myself.
