Thirty-nine years ago there was a generation called the Baby Boomers who (not all of them) had a dream. That dream was of peace, love and of course great music. One of the results of this dream was the . . . more

Topping my Wish List is:
-
Favorite Music, Artists, Genres:Wow, just about anything. I like newer music, but know music from Classical up to New Wave and Punk best. I am amazed by female singers such as Laura Nyro, Janis Joplin, Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, Joan Armatrading and Tracy Chapman. Of course Simon & Garfunkel, Creedence, Dylan and of course The Beatles. Motown! My favorite classical would be Pachebel, Mozart, Beethoven, Shostakovich and Bach.
-
Favorite Books, Writers, Genres:My favorite writer is Joseph D. McLellan. Favorites? I will read just about anything including the backs of shampoo bottles and cereal boxes if I am bored. "Fear of Flying", "The Bell Jar" and "The Women's Room" really struck me. I read alot of mysteries (Grafton, Evanovich, Paretsky), american constitutional history (Leonard Levy is great!). Hmmm.
-
Favorite Movies, Actors, Genres:I have alot of movies. I actually hate pick a favorite questions. It depends on my mood. I like Film Noir, action, westerns, horror, foreign, intelligent, silly, "women's movies", comedies, science fiction (especially 50's B), drama (Did I leave anything out?) etc. etc. My favorite movie depends on my mood, lately I have been thinking about "Testament" with Jane Alexander who is an amazing actress. Hmmm.

Favorite TV Shows, Actors:

Favorite Places:

Interests and Activities:You see, according to Cocteau’s plan I’m the enemy, ’cause I like to think; I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, OK? I want to smoke Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, OK, pal? I’ve SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I’m an Oscar Meyer Wiener". - Edgar Friendly (Denis Leary) - Demolition Man

Wish List:
-
She's A Rainbow:Have you seen her dressed in blue, See the sky in front of you, And her face is like a sail, Speck of white so fair and pale, Have you seen the lady fair, She comes in colors everywhere, She combs her hair, She's like a rainbow, Coming colors in the air, Oh, everywhere, She comes in colors, Have you seen her all in gold, Like a queen in days of old, She shoots colors all around, Like a sunset going down, Have you seen the lady fair, She comes in colors everywhere, She combs her hair, She's like a rainbow, Coming colors in the air, Oh, everywhere, She comes in colors, She's like a rainbow, Coming colors in the air, Oh, everywhere, She comes in colors

Chana,
For transcribing VHS tapes, I have a DVD-R, VHS deck, TV, and video capture device. Every setup is different, but you might want to make sure the DVD and VHS are using the same channel-- seems like they usually offer you channel 3 or channel 4. Also, in my setup, for some reason I have to turn on my DVD-R even if I just want to play a VHS tape.
Yes, I will re-send the list. Sorry I haven't added to it lately.
I guess we've only got a few minutes before Gather pulls the plug.

What I am listening to now.
Simply Irresistable
Robert Palmer
How can it be permissible
She compromised my principle, yeah yeah
That kind of love is mythical
She's anything but typical
She's a craze you'd endorse, she's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course
She used to look good to me, but now I find her
Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible
Her loving is so powerful, huh
It's simply unavoidable
The trend is irreversible
The woman is invincible
She's a natural law, and she leaves me in awe
She deserves the applause, I surrender because
She used to look good to me, but now I find her
Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible
(Simply irresistible) She's so fine,
there's no tellin' where the money went
(Simply irresistible) She's all mine,
there's no other way to go
She's unavoidable, I'm backed against the wall
She gives me feelings like I never felt before
I'm breaking promises, she's breaking every law
She used to look good to me, but now I find her
Simply irresistible
She's so fine,
there's no tellin' where the money went
(Simply irresistible) She's all mine,
there's no other way to go
Her methods are inscrutable
The proof is irrefutable,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
She's so completely kissable, huh
Our lives are indivisible
She's a craze you'd endorse, she's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course
She used to look good to me, but now I find her
Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible
She's so fine,
there's no tellin' where the money went
(Simply irresistible)
She's all mine, there's no other way to go
She's so fine,
there's no tellin' where the money went
(Simply irresistible)
She's all mine, there's no other way to go
Listen with me!

No, I was a 1954 baby, then. That was the year Elvis recorded his first with Sun records if my history is correct. And the year he came out with the Hound Dog song. But don't quote me on that.

Chana I am not feeling better.. beginning to wonder what the heck is going on...
not sure I can call... have zero energy.. don't feel depressed. So dont know what it is.. falling asleep sitting up is the feeling.
Struggling with Woodstock poem. Harder than I thought... have to do a new Rhoda... I will call if I can.. if not can we try for tomorrow?
Glad you are floating and it is a better day there.
More as soon as I can rally energy.
peace, love, joy!

NCLB stands for No Child Left Behind. I read the article about Michelle Rhee. The neighborhoods have gotten worse over the years. They're our future and too many fall through the cracks.
