To Crawl Or Not To Crawl
Chip Taylor, legendary songwriter and brother of Jon Voight, is still cranking ’em out at almost 80 years old. A fellow music snob turned me on to this one the other day. See what you think.
For Your Convenience
Dave Davies On Jonesy’s Jukebox
A few dull stretches, but fascinating musical discussions beginning at around 11:00 and 21:00. Dave interestingly links his power-chording to the Ventures, while Jonesy ‘fesses up to lifting the riff to “Sub-Mission” from “All Day and All of the Night.”
The Favourite
Mrs. Makerbot and I saw this at The Blue-Hair Cinema Grill last night. I laughed, I cried! It was better than CATS!
Early 18th century. England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne’s ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at a return to her aristocratic roots. As the politics of war become quite time consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen’s companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to fulfill her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbit stand in her way.

For the verses of this song, Steve Marriott or Ronnie Lane ( I assume) lifted the chorus of the Christmas hymn, “Gloria In Excelsis Deo.” Creative theft at its finest.
Charlie Brown Redux
So now that all of us bastards are old, I thought it would be fun to revisit a holiday classic, except now it’s fast forward a few years. Check up on the Peanuts gang, and see how they are doing this holiday season. I always knew Peppermint Patty and Marcy would get it on one day. And that ending… bitch had it coming…
