The seasons are turning at the Equinox, but daytime temperatures are still lovely. No signs of Osprey, and ever-migrating Canadian Geese.

Speaking of roads, I'll be running off to Lewistown and Chester, Montana to further Nancy Cawdrey's American Silk Road tour.

Media Watch: Staying away from Da' Boob Toob has been good for me -- this evening, stalwart Montana Public Radio played a serious retrospective of Richard Wright's music with Pink Floyd. The climax featured the magnificent Us and Them and Dark Side of the Moon.

(Pause for respect in the prescence of accomplishment)

Now they are playing Cruisin' with Reuben & the Jets:
Cheap Thrills, in the back of my car
Cheap thrills, how fine they are
Cheap thrills, up and down my spine
I need it, I need it, 'cause it feels so fine!


Sex & Drugs & Rock N' Roll
A Pink Floyd tour provides the background of this mashup inspired by Frank Zappa's loving Doo Wop satires. English actor Joan Collins is in the mix as a 50's pinup, and in one of the more explicit roles which came later. The tragic Syd Barrett sulks in the corner while an unnamed model shoots publicity for one of his ill-fated solo albums. Overlooking everything is the All-seeing Eye on the back of the ONE -- both fueling and corrupting the art and good fun which sex and drugs might miss.
