Fighting for our future! "I can't vote, so please, won't you?"

It's a pure miracle those two made it out alive, from the descriptions of the crash. Terrifying stuff. I hope they'll be ok in the long haul. For now I wish them strong pain meds and first-rate doctors. God bless.

This thread has sort of lost its bearings....maybe need to be split off for a separate thread about great Fall music? I keep clicking back in here, expecting Nick Drake discussion!

So fucking gorgeous, like everything he does. http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=8bce3be...2db6fb9a8902bda Patrick Park's newest....KCRW's "Song of the Day" yesterday. Enjoy!

I saw them about 2 years ago, during the tour for Siberia (great little record!) and they were terrific!

You need to listen on a long solo drive, or on a quiet night when you are really missing someone.....or just on a quiet, reflective night. Few people have the power to move my heart like he does. But not for when you want something energetic, not for those times. You know how certain music is the only thing you crave, in certain moods? He's like that. I would hate a musical world that didn't contain Nick Drake.

Might be worth another listen, Dunja....essential 3 a.m. music. The guy was brilliant. But, I suppose, different strokes for different folks.

Damn, I need to hear some Nick Drake now, but it's all on vinyl and the turntable is buried under a mountain of cd's....River Man, anybody? (Is that the title?)

Jesse, thanks so much for all the hours of live Wilco DVD's that you've shared with this fan community! Your site deserves praise and plenty of support!

I like Barack better as Super Duper Man.

I give you.....the answer to all your political prayers! Oh my.

Jay, those photos are so heartbreaking. This may not have been a Katrina, but there's enough devastation to go around & then some. Wishing the best to everyone hurt by this monster.

....or write a completely different joke.... The typhoon says, "Holey moley, Hurricane, but you certainly do have a wide ass!" Hurricane snorts, "I wouldn't talk if I were you, Typhoon is just another name for Hurricane!" Rabbi says miserably, "It's like trying to put lipstick on a pig. And now you've got me craving bacon! Oy vey!" Check it out, quasi-humorous, timely, and topical all at once!

Wow. You did it!

Well, finish it!

How lucky for me that Brennan is doing volunteer hours at the local library! He's there right now, so a simple phone call & now he's bringing it home in about half an hour. Talk about service! Unfortunately "The Devil in the White City" has been checked out since forever. I may have to break down and buy that.

I'm glad you liked it. I haven't read Poisonwood Bible but obviously need to! I agree about the hope and optimism. I love that in this saga.

We're all thinking of you. Hang tight!

This story has been going on for hours now, and just keeps getting worse. At first there were no fatalities listed, but the count has now climbed to ten dead, 40 injured. Rescue workers are having a hell of a time getting through the wreckage. So very sad. God bless all involved and their families, many of whom still can't even get news about their loved ones. A link: http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/09/12/train.collision/index.html Firefighters are still climbing all over the front passenger car, which is on its side, trying to extricate people. Two cars are partially collapsed into each oth

Holey Moses!!!! Y'all stay safe & get outta danger's way.

I loved "The Year of Wishing", Gary! Thanks for the recommendation.

You wouldn't be making fun of my spelling prowess, now would you? I think a bit of editing is in order.

Aw, Mart, that is beyond all coolness!!!! No wonder you are so jazzed for him!!!! Very, very cool. I hope it was the kind of night that brings back incredible memories for years to come!

With my warmest wishes and deepest love, I wish you the birthday of your dreams and a year to match. I hope the universe showers you with wonderful things, sweetie, like CAKE! I baked it myself! I miss you! I hope our paths can somehow cross soon!

Love your avatar! The past few nights I've been indulging in Season One of Arrested Development, and marveling all over again over what a brilliant show it was.
