Turn and face the strange changes
When I was 13, I gave myself a shag haircut over Easter vacation. (They published the how-to instructions in Young Miss magazine.) When I came back to school, they made fun of me because I looked like David Bowie on the album cover of Hunky Dory. I didn't mind - he was a British rock star! That was cool, not hurtful!

Climate change is real.
I don't do this much anymore, but I felt the need to rant after reading a Q&A with Senator Cruz this morning.

2 deaths, no funerals.
Two weeks ago, my husband's guitar player died in a house fire.

Then hours later, no connection, rinse, repeat. We don't even call anymore. Sigh. And then they send letters ( Read more... ) -

Catching up on a few days of blogs, feeds and miscellany, I ran across yesterday's Whatever by John Scalzi, asking for deep cuts. I read all the comments, remembered a lot of great stuff from my early days of musical appreciation, and saw a lot of Rush listed. A LOT of Rush. No, really, LOTS. And Queen's "39". If you've never heard it, go to ( Read more... ) -
