I like the Steinway choice, but would probably go with the whisper songs of fembots.

I kinda like Taylor's new era. F—k it if I can’t have him. F—k it if I cant have us.

Hope it's a great day!

OJ had family and other visitors sign NDAs and executor of his estate says he will work to prevent a payout of a $33.5 million judgment awarded to the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/oj-simpson-dead-trial-kardashian-murder-wife-latest-b2527669.html https://www.wnct.com/news/national/ap-executor-of-o-j-simpsons-estate-plans-to-fight-payout-to-the-families-of-brown-and-goldman/

Chechnya is banning music that's too fast or slow "Musical, vocal and choreographic" works will be limited to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute (BPM) to "conform to the Chechen mentality and sense of rhythm," said Dadayev, according to the Russian state-run news agency TASS. "Borrowing musical culture from other peoples is inadmissible," Dadayev said, per a translation by The Guardian. "We must bring to the people and to the future of our children the cultural heritage of the Chechen people. This includes the entire spectrum of moral and ethical standards of life for Chechens." https://www.npr.org/2024/04/09/1243632570/chechnya-music-ban-bpm https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/09/chechnya-bans-dance-music-either-too-fast-slow

Capricorn One is a pretty good movie if you want to watch OJ get killed.

Not sure Willie blossoms this much, but giving it a shot this morning. Ex.

Sad Girl / Permission is Hereby Granted

Pretty sexy back at ya (though you always knew that).

Not nearly as rare, but any mention of Road Runners requires me to mention my favorite family car (random net photo) from '74. I miss Plymouth.

Probably should have cast his brother Randy, who has experience with aliens.

Also Sadat, though honestly, I'm still thinking of Jacqueline Bisset. EDIT: Just going through his IMDB page... Bonanza, Alias Smith and Jones (a Head-Case favorite!), Mod Squad, Love American Style, Good Times, Six Million Dollar Man, Police Story, Roots, etc. Man, he was everywhere.

Noooooo! Thank you Joe.

On the Beato note... Ex.

Anyone get the same message for Ernest Saves Christmas? Free seems correct there.

It was supposed to look like prohibition era booze storage, but it was actually a garlic processing plant so the joke was on our noses.

Speaking of lenses and Leicas, took out the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 on the SL2 Sunday. Helped a friend shoot a band. I was second camera so zero pressure. Most of me loves the lens. My lower back is the contrarian.

Definitely relate. At least the biggie, Sequence, is still close as it moved from Palo Alto (Stanford's Cantor Center) to SFMOMA and then back to Palo Alto. Somewhere I have a photo of young Esmé, with wide eyes, getting lost in the light & shadows.
