Jim Thompson on bucking the tide
This inspiring quote comes from Jim Thompson's last story.
"Would they do it?" I said. "How can you be sure they would, Mr. Krutz? Have you ever thought about the potential in a crusade for not doing the things that someone else would do if you didn't?"
A few seconds later, the narrator brutally murders Mr. Krutz. OK--in light of later developments, maybe it's not so inspiring. You have to admit, 'though, that sentence "Have you ever thought..." is pretty good.

Kinks Videos & Slideos
Friday night, we attended the Sunset Tavern's Kinks tribute show we attended Friday]. It re-inspired me (and with The Kinks, I don't need much inspiration) to listen to their albums and watch some of the videos.
An awesome fan YouTube tribute of one of the great Kinks tunes, Waterloo Sunset:
One of their big hits, Lola, performed on the great Brit show Tops of the Pops.
Jack The Idiot Dunce. Someone covered this at the show Friday night, and it was one of the great covers that night. Keelin and I went to see them in Asbury Park on this tour in 1977. It was fab.

The Egg Trick
A lot has happened in 30 years, both to us, and on television. There is a certain intangible sweetness and innocence here in this sktech/performance piece.

Wonkette on Admiral Mullen's HippieLeaks
Wonkette 'quotes' Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on the WikiLeaks:
"We’re going to continue to mindlessly funnel money to Pakistan so they can train people to kill us, irregardless of whatever that HippieLeaks fruit posted on the Internets.” [The Hill: Twitter Room]
