i just saw a commercial for music rising dot org in which a certain musician who shall remain nameless says, “i don’t know what i would do if i woke up one day and suddenly lost my guitar, but for many people in new orleans, that’s just what happened!”
and then the commercial went on to say that i, yes i, could help put guitars and instruments back in the hands of those who lost theirs in the wake of katrina. and yea, verily i was so relieved. i could not have been more relieved. because the first thing i thought when i saw the utter devastation impacting new orleans and the surrounding region was, “oh no. those poor people. what will become of their guitars?!?!?”

A Woman's Manifesto
Because a woman’s work is never done.
and is underpaid, or unpaid, or boring, or repetitious,
and we’re the first to get fired,
and what we look like is more important than what we do.
And if we get raped its our fault
and if we get beaten we must have provoked it
and if we raise our voices we’re nagging bitches
and if we enjoy sex we’re nymphos
and if we don’t we’re frigid
and if we love women it’s because we can’t get a real man
and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic or pushy
and if we expect childcare we’re selfish
and if we stand up for our rights we’re aggressive and un-feminine
and if we don’t we’re typical weak females
and if we want to get married we’re out to trap a man
and if we don’t we’re unnatural
and because we still can’t get an adequate, safe contraceptive, but men can walk on the moon
and if we can’t cope or don’t want a pregnancy we’re made to feel guilty about abortion
and for lots and lots of other reasons
we are part of the women’s liberation movement.- Joyce Stevens, International Woman’s Day, 1975.
Man Vs. Heart Attack
I am somewhat worried about the dude on Man v Food. He isn’t looking so good these days and putting that food away like that can’t be good for him.
Didn’t you hear the story that they had thought that Fats Domino had died but then they found him floating on a piano? I’m serious!
o danny boy. get outta here with your lie tellin’ you big louse! so what? now i’m supposed to go buy pianos too?
