Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
OK. I just watched Stephen Colbert, Brian Eno and Michael Stipe sing "Lean on Me" acapella. It was astonishing. And as monster Eno fan since high school, it was kind of a major musical epiphany. I'm still not quite processing it.
Also, Eno looks younger than Stipe these days, which is really strange.

Eno is such a friendly guy! Why do I always expect these men-of-mystery (or men-who-raraly-appear-on-tv, anyway) to be dark and serious?

I know! I was also, for no particularly good reason, surprised by his speaking voice, which I don't think I've ever heard outside of singing.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
That was awesome. And Eno is adorable.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
RIP Andrea True:
Desperate for work, she decided to pursue a career as a porn star. She appeared in more than 60 hardcore porn films throughout the 1970s and early to mid-80s, and distinguished herself as one of the more recognizable porn stars in the early New York adult-film industry.
During her heyday as a porn actress, True was hired by a real estate business in Jamaica to appear in their commercial ads. During her stay on Jamaica, a political crisis gripped the island, and no one was allowed to leave with any money. Not wanting to lose her hard-earned pay, True asked her friend, record producer Gregg Diamond, to travel to the island and produce a track for her, which she would finance locally. Diamond arrived with a composition in hand, to which True added her vocals. The result of their collaboration was "More, More, More."
