Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Actually, that led me to thinking about the Fresh Air from the other day with the writers of Fiddler on the Roof, which had me thinking Gwen Stefani, so now I'm back to mashing up If I Were A Rich Man.

Because I know that the rest of you were wondering:

Angel by Shaggy (yes, the "It Wasn't Me" guy)

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

The "Mr. Boombastic" guy?

Ann, that's a ferret.

There's some rap song that I keep hearing bits of on the radio, something like, "She's not like other girls you knew before, not like your typical neighborhood whore. I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful."

"Sexy Chick." Credited to David Guetta, who produces (hyperbole alert) just about everything dance-y on pop radio these days. Falls into my "catchy tune, deserves better lyrics" category.

One and the same.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm firmly stuck with Nina Simone's version (it is the only real one), with brief intrusions of Boombastic. I'm pretty happy with that, but I wish I'd brought headphones to work today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I was looking at the Onion earlier, and I had to double check that I still wasn't there when I saw this headline:

Vt. Barber Says Not Good at Cutting Blacks' Hair

No, that was in the New York Times, via the AP. [link]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There have been a bunch of stories like that, though it's more usually a hairdresser who says she can't style a black woman's hair.
