View of front of likely 19th century building with sign saying Public Baths and a door on each side marked Men and Women. The images of two people are reflected in two windows, a man on the left and a woman (seemingly pointing a camera) on the right.

My dad somehow looking like a mod.

He was in the US army in Germany in 1956-57. He told me he had a Welsh girlfriend over there (before he got with my mom). Not sure where in Europe he is here. He did some traveling during his leave.

Point/Counterpoint This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won't

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more. This war will not put an end to anti-Americanism; it will fan the flames of hatred even higher. It will not end the threat of weapons of mass destruction; it will make possible their further proliferation. And it will not lay the groundwork for the flourishing of democracy throughout the Mideast; it will harden the resolve of Arab states to drive out all Western (i.e. U.S.) influence. If you thought Osama bin Laden was bad, just wait until the countless children who become orphaned by U.S. bombs in the coming weeks are all grown up. Do you think they will forget what country dropped the bombs that killed their parents? In 10 or 15 years, we will look back fondly on the days when there were only a few thousand Middle Easterners dedicated to destroying the U.S. and willing to die for the fundamentalist cause. From this war, a million bin Ladens will bloom.

Counterpoint No It Won't No it won't. It just won't. None of that will happen. You're getting worked up over nothing. Everything is going to be fine. So just relax, okay? You're really overreacting. "This war will not put an end to anti-Americanism; it will fan the flames of hatred even higher"? It won't. "It will harden the resolve of Arab states to drive out all Western (i.e. U.S.) influence"? Not really. "A war against Iraq is not only morally wrong, it will be an unmitigated disaster"? Sorry, no, I disagree.

Thanks. I’m mostly hanging out with my mom in the burbs but it was a beautiful day to spend in the city yesterday.

I was excited to see he’d be here during my visit since he hasn’t come to Europe in 15 years and I hadn’t seen him for … 40.

Hasn’t changed a bit!

Thought he could play longer though. First Friday night gig I’ve ever been to that ended at 9:06pm
