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.

My favorite part was him talking about the cemetary in LA he'd like to be buried in, Hollywood Forever:

I like it... I stumbled across Johnny Ramone’s stone — I thought his stone was very nicely placed.

S and I go walking in that cemetary all the time. It's only a couple of miles from our house, and they don't mind visitors (unlike some other cemetaries **cough**forestlawn**caugh**). Johnny's stone is quite wonderful, as are many others. Doug Fairbanks and Doug Fairbanks Jr. have side-by-side sarcophagi overlooking a coi pond and with an unobstructed, direct line of sight view on the Hollywood sign. There are also geese and peafowl wandering the grounds freely. The peafowl will run away if you look at the cross-eyed, but the geese will sometimes want to throw down with you.

Amazing to think that if we had gone out on the right day, we could have enjoyed a quiet sit with Morrisey, looking at Johnny's stone and meditating peacefully. That would have been pretty cool.

Jon B., your post in press is very exciting. I hope it works out. It's like a starlet being discover in Schwab's.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Jon, that's so cool!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Jon, how awesome is that! If I had a camcorder and lived in Boston, I would totally be there for you, man.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Yay, Jon!

Awesome news Jon. I wish I had a video-corder to help you out (or even knew anyone who did).

Our wings are not tired.

Yay Jon! I will become irrationally excited when I see a White Castle commercial with you in it. Excellent!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Thanks for all the good wishes, everyone. I still can\'t get over that the casting call specifically asked for me! It\'s so weird!

I found a (non-buffista) friend to do the video, but a special thank you to DX Machina who offered to truck up here from RI.

Jon, what song do they want you to record?
