It’s already August, the beginning of that last month of summer and a quick look reveals an interesting array of musical b’days today including AAR 1.0 great Chuck D, psychedelic music and cultural icon Jerry ‘Captain Trips’ Garcia, a fellow friend of the devil and my old brother of the new hip Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and latter day bluesman Robert Cray. Also rapper hair victim Coolio and Crow Counter Adam Durwitz as well as Oh Say Can You Francis Scott Key, Mother Jones and Moby ancestor Herman Melville. That reminds me, Yvonne DeCarlo was born today as well.
Progeny of the coolest Beatle Dhani Harrison was born on August 1 and for some reason seems to be releasing a debut album today of his group thenewno2, apparently only via iTunes which means that I won’t be getting it anytime soon. Hopefully someday…
Friday

Merrie The Final Fire Season with this beginnings of the Celebration of Lughnasadh :pirate: :yippee: :banana: 8)
Obama’s in town today for a town-hall meeting. I can’t get off work, but the local cable news is running it live, so the DVR is set to record. Tix went up for grabs yesterday afternoon at 5:00 and were gone by 5:45. During a rainstorm, no less.
I guess there might be some live online coverage of that event but as I see it so far the O’Bama campaign is about as good at spreading its online event PR as Maron and Seder.
You guys probably saw this already, but here is Marc speaking the truth about Air America when he sub’d for the Mike Malloy show —

MERRIE LUGHNASADH
“………And indeed, if we read the Irish myths closer, we discover that it is not Lugh’s death that is being celebrated, but the funeral games which Lugh hosted to commemorate the death of his foster- mother, Taillte.”
0h well, any excuse to drink if you’re Irish I guess.
My Bad, I really believed in the “magic” of “The Song” … but it seems John Lennon was the only one that spoke truth of “the soul”. Just seeing how most singing folks were tackless jerks, in reality makes me again just say “Bloody Hell and WTF”.
So these type of songs are just the singers being stoned, drunken folks without Truth of Spirit . 🙄 except for paying lots of money to Lama Lodro {as one and others did — Lama Lodro also lived in main massive Victorian Manor in My City –…a home I almost lived in, but I had a real wolf & hybrid in mountains — which I embraced for years prior to the Lama’s request — he tried for about 15 years of the 20 plus years I was a practicing Buddhist). Still remaining: the last hybrid … sniff…I now have Danu … I watch the timing) … and the musicians they “played” hard without “true studies”, as this lil girl-twit believed in what was being said in the Songs of her youth said now in the songs of the times … I think again “I Believed” in a persons words. Hmmmm rats, bah humbug……
I feel so used … I thought all were like John Lennon and Neil Young. :smack: :knit2: … no wonder much talk and little action …. :bow: Roxie… :knit2: 🙁 :knit: /|\ :gate:
rats, bloody hell, WTF, Bah HumBug …..
(I might have to erase these words…)
artnorton, sorry, I did not mention The Fire God Celebration of Lugh … only the celebration of Lughnasadh and if one went on the base level, one would just say the God Lugh, and miss ALL LEVELS and devotions to Lugh and Lughnasadh and the rest of the season.
there are many levels to the Celtic Faith….
My Bad, but I just wanted to say a tad bit to give honour to The Times, then *fly* off to do more work :smack:
…since most here do not practice my faith 🙂 … … :pirate: a!i!v!
ARTNORTON … A Very Important Truth of the Times :rofl2: :alc: :alc: Cheers 2 U & URs, 4 I 2, will be raising a few a bit later :alc: 😉
rats, i missed my ‘e’ time
Oooh. Alan Ball (Six Feet Under creator, among other things) has a new show premiering in September. True Blood.

Dead Army vaccine scientist eyed in anthrax probe
WASHINGTON – An Army scientist committed suicide as federal prosecutors readied an indictment alleging he mailed anthrax-laced letters in 2001 in what authorities said Friday may have been a bizarre attempt to test a vaccine for the deadly poison
So…is anyone buying this???
No, I’m not buying it.
The scientist bought it, though.
Re:15
I don’t think anyone is buying that after listening to NovaM all day.
