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.

Yes, but that would be V. IV needs to riff on "The Voyage Home" which I'm drawing a blank on, music ref wise. I guess I should be gratetful it wasn't "The Journey Home" because there'd be no good way to avoid the obvious "musical" reference there.
I'm also a little sad that I know this much about the Trek movies.

And I'm embarrassed, yet somewhat relieved, that I don't.
I'm having a real hard time feeling sad about CBGB's.
I agree. And the bookings there for years now have been atrocious. But still, I saw some great shows there back in the 80's, and it is worthy of being honored in some way, even if it needs to shut its doors.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Explaining records (LPs or 45s or even 78s) to kids nowadays is virtually impossible.
Not when they grow up with a living room filled with them, and they go shopping for 45s on an occasional basis.

According to a post on I Love Music, Fats Domino is missing. He told his manager on Monday that he intended to ride out the storm in his 9th Ward home, which is currently flooded to the roof. No one has heard from him since. Allen Toussaint is with the Superdome refugees. There's a handful of other NOLA musicians whose whereabouts are unknown.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Including, according to a friend of a friend of his, Alex Chilton. He was planning on staying in the city - gave his car keys to another musician and told her to go.
Poppy Z. Brite (wrong thread, I know) almost didn't leave -- thank God she did.

Aw, hell. Here's hoping he's alright.
Corwood, here are a couple articles for your blog, one from Slate about media coverage & race and one from Salon about policy decisions that probably exacerbated the hurricane's effects. I wasn't aware of the latter, but some of the stuff a friend mentioned in a "we fled & we're okay" email made a lot more sense after reading it. I'm looking for another one I read about hurricane patterns but can't find it. The upshot: hurricane frequency goes in cycles & we're in one of the up cycles. Historically speaking the increasing frequency is not a surprise, but because of climate change they tend to be more severe and, even more important, more people live in places that were avoided in the past because they were dangerous (e.g., flood plains.) Leonard Lopate had a guy on today (maybe the same one) talking about these problems. Should be archived later this afternoon.
