Maybe the horse was more qualifed than the average senator romanus? Suetonius, the source for most of the wacky stories about the Caesars, says that Caligula merely intended to make his favorite horse consul. It didn't actually happen. Whatever. It was a long time ago.

Sobo's correct.

Is it: Johnny Train's the baby in the house or Johnny trains the baby in the house or....?

I didn't say people shouldn't think for themselves. I just meant that building a relationship with a spiritual mentor doesn't necessarily mean shopping around for the priest with the best cirriculum vitae.

Most people I know who go to church or otherwise participate in an religious community don't seem to think about a priest's or pastor's qualifications in these kind of terms (years of schooling, certificates, whatever). I think a person who trusts someone enough to seek counseling is basing that trust on something less tangible than a diploma. And I don't think that's a bad thing at all.

Unbelievably, my boss has been bringing in beer (and popsicles?!?) for the office every Friday for the last few weeks.

So what happened with the skeleton and his beer?

c'mon, like that would ever happen!

It's important to remember that Germany in the 20s and 30s was a pretty screwed up place.

Um, yeah. Working, me too.

That's a four-year-old with a finely developed sense of the absurd, that's what it is.

Historical note: that knock-knock joke has been around since the Van Buren administration.

His final project "Doo Bop" is a good example of this. Except that no one liked that album, as far as I know. That's the one with the terrible rapping, right?

You met THE Mike Layton? Hard to believe he shops at Fred Meyer just like the rest of us.

Is that near Cho Oyeah?

Thanks for posting this, Gavin. Let us know when your staffing situation gets worked out. I was planning on heading down there tomorrow night, and would have been disappointed to find your doors closed.

Can you get with those folks to correct the spelling of their website? Then the full humorous potential of my post will be realized.

Maybe Miles was a bitter, arrogant, contemptuous guy in person, but that doesn't affect my appreciation for his music. I wonder how many great musicians were really likeable people? I don't even think that Miles fully realized what he was doing for jazz music, but just as with the likeability question, who cares what his intent was? One of the things I really like about those 3 albums, and some other stuff he did around that same time, like Live-Evil, is that they really have a spacy, impersonal quality to them, like it's just instruments talking, not musicians.

You've got to listen to Bitches' Brew, Agartha and Pangaea before you write off Miles' fusion expeditions.
