Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I think somebody wants an iPod to call their very own...

::snerk:: I think I laugh harder at his stories about his redneck brother than at any of his other pieces.

Yeah, I love those the most, too.

Are you ready to be strong?

Ken Nordine sucks.

Hec, from way back: Kate Spade bags are not particularly expensive or "fancy." They are solidly middlebrow in every way.

It would take him about 30 minutes to say the same thing.

I'm really amused by that juxtaposition.

Ken Nordine sucks.

Egad, and to think I was going to leave you my beatnikiana collection in the event of my untimely death. Like, Squaresville baby. Population: You.

I am duly educated. Do you have to go all the way to a Hermes's Birkin to get a Fancy Bag?

Also, check this out, Strega sent me some videos on DVD including a Steve Buscemi short that ran on Bravo in 1992. As the credits roll, I was startled to see that one of the production assistants was none other than...RIO HERNANDEZ!

information libertarian

I'd like to live Rio's rock-star lifestyle, 'cause where I'm coming from, $250-$400 for a handbag is definitely expensive. I think "fancy" is more of a judgment call.

Always Anti-fascist!

To me they are Hec, but I have one pitiful, Clampettesque handbag I've had since ever which is broken. Everything is fancy next to it.

Flea, I don't have a rock-star lifestyle, and I can't generally afford very expensive things, but it's possible to know the lay of the land anyway.

Do you have to go all the way to a Hermes's Birkin to get a Fancy Bag?

No, there's a lot in between. Your big designer houses: Jacobs, Vuitton, Balenciaga, etc.

Haha. I wish that were me. I used to know her in my youth!
