EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW


1. You know those “I Love The 70/80/90’s”” shows on VH1? Where they turn your entire Youth into the butt of stupid jokes and bad gags? Yeah, me too. Here’s the antidote - “I Love The 30’s”. Good times.

2. I have this weird thing on one side of my thigh where the skin is peeling off like I’ve been sunburnt. I think I have leprosy. Wouldn’t that be a bitch? On the plus side, lepers get to go live in Hawaii in colonies which can’t be too bad. Also, Jesus had something to do with lepers although I can’t remember the details. Cured? Turned into wine? Whatevs. Bad side : waiting for your fingers to fall off. I’d hate to lose a ring.

3. My extended family (cousins, mostly) have recently found my blog. And I quote “if this is you, and you wrote these stories, you’re awesome i cant stop reading them.”. Wow, wow and wow. I haven’t spoken to these people in decades but that’s the funny thing about Family. You can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends but... well, you know the rest.

4. Mysterious Question 101 - “Are you a Drama Queen if all the Drama is just in your head?” (see : Leprosy) Discuss.

5. This is cool in a "CGI/I’m glad I’m not into Ghost Chicks” kind of way.

I heard the news today, oh boy
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man you can say no more?
And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
Ain't there one damn song
That can make me
Break down and cry?

Because Luther Vandross sang back-up on this song. Because Bowie (like The Rolling Stones) gives props to the past of Rock N’ Roll. Because we love the Driving Songs you can sing to in the car, under the Californian sun, through the hills. Because we are all, always, going to be Young Americans.
