So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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.

Thanks. i'm using this as an analogy to communicate to soe environmentalists. Which of the following is the LEAST likely pushback to hear from a crunchy middle class group, varying in age, some with hipster tendencies:

"Kenny G. is awesome."

"Nickleback is awesome."

"Yanni is awesome."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

"Andre Rieu is awesome"?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

If I had to rank them in reverse order of pushback likelihood?

1) Yanni
2) Kenny G.
3) Nickleback

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

This week's On the Media has a charming interview with Cyndi Lauper. I didn't know she was SO awesome. I think I might have to run out and get her book.

Anyway, the host played a minute if her duet with Patti Labelle on "Time After Time" and I got goosebumps. I have to track it down because their harmonizing was much better than I ever expected with Labelle doing her syncopation thing.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

One of my mother's former students is in Kinky Boots on Broadway. It's pretty cool watching her post pictures of herself and her mom and Cyndi Lauper on FB.
