The Argument Of The Beard goes like this:
“…For if once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination. Once [one] begin[s] upon this downward path, you never know where you are to stop. Many a man has dated his ruin from some murder or other that perhaps he thought little of at the time.”
–Thomas DeQuincey

Saturday Matinee – Puddles The Clown, Jim Stafford & Jimmer Podrasky
Pinball Folsom Wizard Prison Blues.
Excellent performance by Puddles The Clown.
Jim Stafford was rated, both under and over, for obvious reasons.
By the way, how ’bout a crappy but excellent video of The Rave-Ups featuring frontman Jimmer Podrasky?
The Rave-Ups were underrated IMO, but they got some traction for their work in a B-minus movie, Pretty In Pink, and In My Gremlin is my favorite Rave-Ups song, also for obvious reasons.
Have a great weekend, folks, and be back here tomorrow for Armageddon.
11 September 2001 – Never Forget.
Every one of those innocent people in that photo were doomed on 11 September 2001.
In the aftermath of the catastrophic attacks on the WTC, the Pentagon (and on United Flight 93) by muslims, the largest evacuation by flotilla in history began on 9-11-2001 with one call for assistance. The spontaneous response by private citizens was amazing, and this short documentary gives thanks to all who responded and helped to evacuate Lower Manhattan.
“…Never go through life saying ‘you should have’… “
And never forget THIS.

It’s Hot. Real Hot.
It’s hot
It’s so hot, I saw a dog chasing a cat and they were both walking. It’s so hot, I saw two fire hydrants fighting over a dog. It’s so hot, the potholes in were filling themselves with asphaltic runoff. It’s so hot, kids are carving their initials in train tracks – with bamboo. It’s so hot, my eyeglasses updated my prescription. It’s so hot, the incandescent bulbs feel cool to the touch. It’s so hot, the sidewalks are on strike and demanding more eggs. It’s so hot, I didn’t have to trim my nose hair. It’s so hot, we had to fire up the grill just to cool the patio.
It’s still hot.

Every one of those images were derived from B&W photos, and if I’m not mistaken, they were created by Robert Crumb. You’ve heard their songs covered by others (like this one by Memphis Minnie & Kansas City Joe McCoy).
