Laura Bush puts the mark on George Bush/President Bush rumored to be hitting the bottle
Thanks to Dean Ericksen of the cogent, concerned, and controversial blog, Almost There In No Time, for pointing this one out, despite the ongoing blog war with All This Is That (ATIT vs ATINT).
According to The Globe, "GEORGE BUSH and wife Laura are headed for divorce - again - after she left claw marks on his face during a furious fight over his boozing, White House sources reveal. The president was left with a bloody three-inch gash along with a smaller cut. Our world exclusive reveals the shocking details of their explosive showdown - and what their future holds."

Thanks to Dean Ericksen (our competitor) for pointing out this one. This photograph was recently offered for sale on EBay. The photo was taken around 1940. Hitler clearly, even at this early date (and when his war of domination still seemed winnable), looks frail and stooped. And those future Hitler youth, look amazingly colorful in juxtaposition with the drab Fuhrer.

The Beatle's Last Waltz
This is a video of the last time The Beatles played together, in 1970, on a London rooftop. I believe this is where John Lennon uttered his wonderful "Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen. On behalf of me and boys I hope we passed the audition!" (which was grafted onto the studio track of the Let It Be LP). On a personal note, I saw them in Seattle in 1966, on their final tour, one day before their final show in San Francisco.

Kerry endorses Obama (which may be enough to drop him another five points)
New Hampshire wrap-up & the necessity of telephoning the voters
Coming home from Boston tonight on Alaska Airlines Flight 15, I bumped into Ralph Munro, our long-time Washington State Secretary of State (he retired in 2000). He was in the seat behind me (yes, coach!) and had been in New Hampshire the last week or so doing "grunt work" for the McCain campaign...grunt work being working the telephones. I have done the telephone thing for various candidates and for school levy elections. It is indeed grunt work...grueling, often unrewarding, and difficult. You get a lot of hostility and a lot of hangups. But the conventional wisdom says it's important work, and no matter how digital and internet- and media-based campaigns become, campaigns still rely on phone banks to turn the voters out.
Good on you Ralph...nice meeting you.

Video: The Beatles perform She Loves You In Manchester in 1963
I will never forget the night when I was ten years old and The Beatles played this song on The Ed Sullivan Show. It was one of those extremely rare times when you think "nothing will be quite the same after this." And, for me at least, things never were. It led to a lifetime addiction, and their music and the people they inspired and competed with, and the next generation (now two generations!) took what they did, honored what they did, rebelled against what they did, and formed a soundtrack for a lifetime. I mean, yeah, I often cut away to other musical pleasures in the jazz, country, blues, bluegrass, classical modes. . . but The Beatles are the absolute Gold Standard. From them I learned about melody, sitars, flutes, strings, harmony, rhythm, ballads, suites, bridges, Aeolian cadences. . .you name it. For me, the music all springs from John Paul George and Ringo; even Beethoven!

Audio Lost and found: some great downloadable MP3s from the great WFMU Blog
I love strange old audio ephemera, from the hundreds of Jean Shepherd shows I have to recordings of chatter on shortwave, the famous Buddy Rich rant tapes, and the "shut up and play" compilation of rock and rollers freaking out on stage and ripping into their audiences (Doiurtney Love, Mike Love, Elvis, Jim Morrison, Lou Reed, etc.). A great source all of this is the WFMU radio site that often releases free weird recordings that have slipped into the pulic doman.
WFMU's beware of the blog is a great web site and they always have lot of goodies for downloading. You should visit once in a while... in the meantime, here are three gems I recently found there that you can download.
1) How Do I learn. A collection of 6 MP3s from a collection of old educational film strips. Check out the cut "Who's afraid?" . . .it is genuinely spooky.
2) Flying Saucers Unlimited. This record is probably the score for Frank Stranges UFO documentary Phenomena 7.7. Pretty cool. The Reverend Strange is unquestionably way way out there.
3) Sound off Saxons! This is amazing. "Created as a keepsake for the 1965 graduating class of North High School in Torrance, CA, this album takes you through the school and introduces you to the multiple characters and events there — all with the corniest, dated humor you can imagine."
This is a wonderful slice of a world that has long since disappeared. It was already gone by the time I graduated from high school.

Senators McCain and Clinton win in New Hampshire: stayin' alive
I am in Boston tonight, about 30 miles from ground zero in New Hampshire. I am glad to see that both Senators Clinton and McCain won their respective races tonight. Not that I am particularly in favor of either of them becoming President, but because I think they help keep the race honest.
Just last summer I and nearly everyone else had written off McCain...his campaign was in shambles. . .people were quitting, and the money was drying up. Has he cleaned up his act, or is he lucky to have Huck and Giuliani and Romney dicing each other up, and is able to sneak into the breach?
As for Hillary, she made an amazing comeback overnight--only yesterday she was running at least 7-10% behind Obama. Did this mini-comeback spring from the piling on from the press over the last two days, and a public reaction? Or were the press, pundits, and pollsters just wrong? I don't know, but I want her to remain in the race to keep Edwards and Obama honest. Even if Obama is destined to be the nominee, I'd like to see him go through a grueling primary season just to toughen up for the general election. He has had a tendency to pull back when attacked. . .and the attacks he's suffered from the Dems will look like creampuffs when the Republicans start lobbing anti-personnel bombs. I think it's important for Barack to learn to play hardball. Early on he showed signs of being gun-shy. He has to be able to do more than just make great speeches and talk about change. He's not alone of course...in the debate last weekend, the Democrats on stage mentioned change 61 times. And the G.O.P. candidates used the word 30 times.
That's some margin of error in that poll!
