And Rev. Barrett was, let's just say, rather colorful according to his bio.

Miles Davis - Big Fun

Relistening to this album that I โ€œdiscoveredโ€ last week for the first time. It was released in 1974, but is a compilation of tracks recorded 1969 to 1972. Itโ€™s great and makes a cohesive electric period album. Love it. The song โ€œGo Ahead Johnโ€ features a particularly scorching John McLaughlin solo.

Then what about Arvo Part?? You mean modern Evangelical Christian POP music from U.S. Music is a much bigger category than U.S. Pop.

Actually, it is perfectly possible to produce art without either of those things. Nor is the yucky Christian pop people are complaining about rehashing 'old ideas' unless by old you mean the 1970's.

What you mean is conservative contemporary Evangelical music from the U.S. Obviously Bach is 'Christian music'. So African American gospel.

It's a persistent rumor that he smells like a barn but...who really knows? Well. Bill Maher knows but he isn't saying.

Want do I want in life? Frankly, I want a Gauloise cigarette. Just one.

Reforms? No one cares about 'reforms'. This thing is unreformable.

Well interpretation is a universal task for any kind of reader of any kind of text. Biblical or otherwise.

The world's a funny place. Critical theory is right until it's suddenly wrong.

Well then do something to get him out of there. No one cares any more about strong words or aching hearts or anything but action.

Not happening. University admins can't evaluate the quality of highly specialized papers. The only 'accountability' they can enforce are quantitative metrics. Hence this whole false economy of millions of papers with no readers coupled with shrill demands to produce more and more.

One of my favorite concert-going experiences of my life was seeing Philip Glass perform Koyaanisqatsi live at the Kennedy Center. Good for him for standing to his principles.

Dear internet. The reason I know Amelia Lanyer did not write Shakespeare is that I have read both authors. It is really that simple! Lanyer is a real author who is out there for everyone to read! So is Shakespeare and when you read both of them you can see they differ!
