Is There A Spell-Checker For Emojis?
Halley Kahoutek Hale-Bopp Attorneys send Holiday Greetings
to all of their clients in the X/S Galaxy.
Memo from Forever 21 System home office to those affected by the following:
Justice Joann Kirkland's Torrid Back Room Shoes
has been purchased by Starbucks/In-n-Out-n-Amazon.
This means many of you are due to be unemployed, possibly by next month.
People, get ready.
Blame the emojis for dumbing down language,
(yet, in so doing, they help to bring us closer
in a way that a child could understand)
but this has nothing to do with them.
We know what you're thinking, too, and it's not that.
"Crazy old man," that's what you're thinking.
And I'm all, "Not my house?
Get the hell out before I call the cops!
Wait! How did I get here?"
There is no cross-traffic
And I can sneak across the four lanes.
It's four a.m. in the fourth safest city in the USA.*
You may have even been here at this same time of the morning
In the same location earlier in your life,
Or you may come here later in your life,
Or even later in another life
Or I might, too -- who knows?
"Hey, this is not my house at all.
Where's Mother?"
Well on the curb, having made the jay-walk,
I have a feeling that in spite of the empty-appearing street
And sidewalk and parking lots and well-lit areas
Someone is watching me.
I just know it and there's no need to think
--But I collect myself
And we walk away all casual
With no looking over our shoulders.
It's a no-brainer.
If whoever is watching sees us
He may recognize that we are the same
And this is something that would tend to call attention to us
--Not that jay-walking at four a.m. is exactly stealth behavior.
It's always a crossroads in time somewhere
And today, right now, there's a traffic light
Which will never change but continue blinking amber
As I stand here on the corner of Body and Mind.
Blinking, blinking, blinking;
Thinking and winking my lids to the beat of the light,
I begin to feel solid but still very slight.
And I step across boldly, even though it's not right.
And I care not if they're watching
And disappear in the night. sad
And thinking while blinking back some tears,
I reach back in my past past all those old years:
"At my age, I still think that there is an audience for my actions,
When they mostly all left the theater over fifty years ago.
I've been giving performances to myself and I must be good at it
Because I've never had any complaints from him.
It's a good thing I don't have to wind the iPhone.
He'd forget to do it half the time."
"STFU."
"Four-letter words. That all ya got?"
"Yo Mama."
--Cray Z. Oldman
* Provo, UT, was the 4th safest city in the USA in 2018.
--Fact-check girl.

Stop Breaking Down
Every time I'm walkin' down the streets
Some pretty mama starts breakin' down with me
chorus:
Stop breakin' down, yeah stop breakin' down
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby
Ooh, it'll make you lose your mind
I can't walk the streets now, can't consolate my mind
Some no-good woman she starts breakin' down
Now, you Saturday night womens, you love to ape and clown
You won't do nothin' but tear a good man reputation down
Now, I give my baby, now the ninety-nine degree
She jumped up and throwed a pistol down on me
I can't start walkin' down the streets
But my pretty mama don't start breakin' down with me

Magnesium seems to help with those old leg cramps.
I have been giving this a test run.
Expensive. you better shop around, my son.
ZMA is a natural mineral supplement made up of zinc, magnesium aspartate, and vitamin B6. Zinc supports your immune system and muscles. Magnesium plays a role in metabolism and muscle health and helps manage sleep. B6 may boost energy.

right as I went to post
A pop up poped up
lt is a malwareBytes or Malwarebytes, a red line points out the difference
It is hanging out staying on the bottom corner of the screen
It says it is free
I want to stay uncorrupted & very much feel the need
my youtube feed has been
not so good
the videos do not play the way they should
Aa a thing too there is a haze on some uploads
Back in September a playhouse of some renown for reasons that are hard to decipher,
offered a twin pack of tickets for shows I was able to choose a performance then and one in the coming 2019 season.
That turns out to be now or next week.
Now, so yesterday I went walkabout in the freezing cold & today we will feed the cultural node and traverse the state to this classic old theater.
A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder, 't-won't be like seeing Jerry Garcia, at the Lunt Fontane on Broadway.
It is but a farce, a play, a live performance, romantic and suitable for a Mormon family

So many things that are out there to try to see
this would have been the announcement mini-tour before the Broadway stand.

Warren Zevon in Oslo 1991/1992:
When my mother heard "Transverse City" for the first time, her spontaneous reaction was that it was unlikely to sell much because it wasn't funny. She advised me to record a more enjoyable record the next time, and like all good sons, I followed her advice. The result was "Mr. Bad Example".
I saw Warren Zevon as a one man band at Sentrum scene in Oslo. I think it was in 1992.

"...the last great political statement, I think, was when Michael Moore started raging against Bush a few years back.
Everybody booed him, even though I can't imagine Hollywood booing a guy who's bashing Bush.
That was the last great spontaneous moment on The Oscars.

^Not wZ's finest hour.
But he was so much younger then (19).
White Whale label? Onto something there, but
Sorry, this upload is unavailable in your country due to licensing restrictions
Ahah. - thanks Timid
https://www.bsnpubs.com/la/whitewhale/whitewhale.html
Any guesses on this? The letters do not add up.
There is some confusion that Cybelle was actually Tule Livingston rather than Violet Santangelo. Ms. Livingston was Warren Zevon's partner in life for a time and was not a singer. Apparently, someone decided that since they each have the same consonants in their names, one was an anagram of the other, but it's not so...it's an Urban Legend.
Could turn into
Moby Dick, The Long Version
Ahab
From 1965 to 1970, the White Whale label recorded a lot of pop/rock, though the Turtles were its only consistent hitmakers. This 27-track compilation zeroes in on the company's more obscure singles, in which they seemed to touch on most of the shades of pop/rock from the era, though almost always remaining on the lighter side of things. In truth there aren't any gems here, but there's some interesting (and some dull) stuff for major '60s rock collectors to feast upon, as well as some rare tracks penned by Brian Wilson, Paul Williams, Randy Newman, and Randy Bachman to entice fans of those songwriters. The best goodies are the Dillards' 1970 cover of Bob Dylan's "One Too Many Mornings"; Matthew Moore Plus Four's 1965 cover of Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Codyne (She's Real)," one of the earlier and rawer L.A. folk-rock singles; and Freddie Allen's "We've Only Just Begun," the original version of the song made into a mega-smash by the Carpenters (who put out their version just a few months later). As for songs that might be more interesting for the writing credits than for the music, there's Laughing Gravy's close replication of the Beach Boys' "Vegetables," featuring Dean Torrence of Jan & Dean; the Brothers' renditions of rare though unremarkable early songs by Warren Zevon ("The Girl's Alright") and Randy Newman ("Love Story"); and Sugar & Spice's "Not to Return," written by Randy Bachman (who later recorded it on a solo album). There's a little bit o' MOR soul in Dobie Gray's "Do You Really Have a Heart," released in 1970 during his long stretch between hits; he's the only artist here, actually, who had hits, besides Nino Tempo & April Stevens and (if you want to stretch it) Liz Damon's Orient Express. A few of the cuts cross from pop/rock to easy listening pop, but for the most part it's average period fare, often on the poppier and slicker side of the early L.A. studio rock sound. More successful (and, for the most part, better) White Whale releases are compiled on Varese Sarabande's Happy Together: The Very Best of White Whale Records, which combines flops with hits by the likes of the Turtles, Nino Tempo & April Stevens, Lyme & Cybelle, the Clique, and René & René, and has only one song that also appears on In the Garden.
All six songs from the Lyme & Cybelle singles (including the ones sung by Santangelo and Erwin), as well as several Lyme & Cybelle demos (all with Zevon) and early Zevon demos, appear on the Warren Zevon The First Sessions compilation.
... it's indeed a long story ...
Which we all know does not have a very happy ending
... despite a lifelong distrust of doctors, he consulted a physician on the advice of his dentist. He was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma, a virulent and inoperable form of lung cancer, and was told he was not likely to live more than a few months. After going public with his condition on September 12, 2002, he began marshalling his strength to complete a final album, with many friends and admirers stepping in to help, including Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Dwight Yoakam, Ry Cooder, and Don Henley. On October 30, Zevon appeared as the sole guest on David Letterman's show, playing his songs, discussing his life and his health, and advising viewers to "Enjoy every sandwich." Against the odds, Zevon lived long enough to see the release of his final album, The Wind, on August 26, 2003, as well as the birth of his twin grandsons. He died on September 7, 2003; five months later, The Wind earned him two posthumous Grammy awards, for best contemporary folk album and best rock duo performance (for "Disorder in the House" with Bruce Springsteen).
