Davey Boy 2.0

this reminds me of a HST quote, to wit: "I resent your assumption that Music is Not My Bag (or whatever you said)… because I’ve been arguing for the past few years that music is the New Literature, that Dylan is the 1960’s answer to Hemingway, and that the main voice of the ’70’s will be on records & videotape instead of books [god, I wonder what he would have thought of podcasts and vlogs]. But by "music" I don’t mean the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. If the Grateful Dead came to town, I’d beat my way in with a fucking tire iron, if necessary. I think Workingman’s Dead is the heaviest thing since Highway 61 and "Mr. Tambourine Man" (with the possible exception of the Stones’ last two albums … and the definite exception of Herbie Mann’s Memphis Underground, which may be the best album cut by anybody). And that might make a good feature: some kind of poll on the Best Album of the 60s … or, "Where it was at in the Rock Age." Because the ’60s are going to go down like a repeat, somehow, of the 1920s; the parallels are too gross for even historians to ignore. So, for whatever it’s worth - to either one of us, for that matter - here’s the list from Raoul Duke: 2) "Mr. Tambourine Man" (Bringing It All Back Home) Zimmerman 3) Highway 61 … Zimmerman 4) Workingman’s Dead … Warlocks et al. 5) Let It Bleed 6) Buffalo Springfield first album 7) Surrealistic Pillow 8) Roland Kirk - various albums 9) Sketches of Spain … M. Davis 10) Sandy Bull … #2 Jesus, what a hassle to even think quickly about a list like that. Even now I can think of 10 more I might have added … but what the fuck, it’s only a rude idea. But a good one, I think, and particularly for RS. The implications of the final list would vibrate far beyond the actual music … it would be a very heavy fucking document. You may want to give it some thought …. OK for now. I have all the fotos together & I’m sending them along with brief captions, so we can get this thing started. Ciao … Hunter"

Saku with a nice bob and weave. Maybe jaimoe can get him to do a guest appearance at his boxercise class

Apologies if this is old hat The Somali pirates, renegade Somalis known for hijacking ships for ransom in the Gulf of Aden, are negotiating a purchase of Citigroup. The pirates would buy Citigroup with new debt and their existing cash stockpiles, earned from hijacking numerous ships, including most recently a $100 million Saudi Arabian oil tanker. The Somali pirates are offering up to $0.10 per share for Citigroup, pirate spokesman Sugule Ali said earlier today. The negotiations have entered the final stage, Ali said. â€You may not like our price, but we are not in the business of paying for things. Be happy we are in the mood to offer the shareholders anything,†said Ali. The pirates will finance part of the purchase by selling new Pirate Ransom Backed Securities. The PRBS’s are backed by the cash flows from future ransom payments from hijackings in the Gulf of Aden. Moody’s and S&P have already issued a AAA investment grade rating for the PRBS’s. Head pirate, Ubu Kalid Shandu, said “We need a bank so that we have a place to keep all of our ransom money. Thankfully, the dislocations in the capital markets have allowed us to purchase Citigroup at an attractive valuation and to take advantage of TARP capital to grow the business even faster.†Shandu added, “We don’t call ourselves pirates. We are coast guards and this will just allow us to guard our coasts better.â€

Haha, good luck indeed!

my instinct for ^those situations is to head to HUrdman or wherever those buses start and get on there... you should in theory be able to get a seat to at least somewhat make up for the inconvience

Dear OC Transpo, The other day I was late for work and scrambling to get on a bus, I was rifling through my pockets for change after getting on, panicing as I had a meeting to get to. The driver let a couple on the bus and said "Yooou guys don't have to pay, yo're cool" with a big smile on his face. I didn't make my meeting.

I'd be surprised to see mcuh support for this in the midst of the current economic climate

From The Times' very observing interview with Victoria Beckham: '"I'm quite spiritual. I'm very good at visualisation." 'Uh oh. This sounds ominously like Hollywood-speak. Or maybe Tom got to them after all. But it turns out that Victoria's visuals are not the babbling brooks or still mountains kind, but clothes. "I was talking to Gordon Ramsay and David about this the other day and they're the same. Gordon visualises a meal, then figures out how to prepare it. David visualises the goal. I'll lie in bed and think, what kind of look do I want to go for tomorrow? Then I find the pieces in my mind to create it. 'She pauses, thoughtfully. "Yeah, I really believe in creative visualisation."'

happy day YATS
