Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

Corwood, that sucks. I could get the recipient of my ticket to shout out inappropriate requests or some such. He owes me; I gave him a ticket for Richard Thompson.

Ha!

Actually, I don't really care. The book will be better without him because I can now conjecture about his mental state to my heart's content.

Apparently, that Richard Thompson concert was 'damn good'. I'm torn between asking for the details so I can manufacture memories of the event and not asking because my manufactured memories often include people in Victorian dress and sea monsters that can tear ships apart with a lone tentacle and who needs those?

Luckily, there are folk sessions on telly tonight featuring Thompson. God save BBC4.

Doesn't that guy know that he's supposed to suck after someone gives up a ticket to see him?

Thank you! I was privately thinking that but thought I better not say so because I suspected it might be a symptom of my rampant egomania. But if someone else thinks the same...

Happy to provide a neutral soundingboard for you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

At least a few of those are names of real bands.
