Alright, I really can’t find words to describe how completely badass our show was last night in Paris. Um….nope. Damn. One of the best, if not the best ever. Damn.
Well here’s beautiful Lucerne today (Switzerland) which is also a brand of milk that I grew up with. How much do ya wanna bet that I’m gonna find some absolutely wicked fondue here tonight.

SATURDAY 24 JULY – SANTANDER
My first photo of the tour. Santander, Spain.
First show of the tour.
Here’s the beach (just to the right of the stage) where I was easily the pastiest white guy they saw all day.

Okay we’re in Paris now.

(1927) Holy shit, Al Jolson looks exactly like Steve Martin! |
 |
(1990) They’re trying to be real wacky and zany here but after about fifteen minutes I just couldn’t tolerate how much it sucked. |

“L’accordeoniste”
For years I have wondered what the hell she could be singing about in this song. This chorus is so grand and sweeping that I of course hoped the lyrics and subject matter lived up to the sweeping grandeur of the melody. Well guess what…. holy shit.
Here is the older Edith singing it with English translation:
Here’s a great shot of her in her younger grace and beauty:
This chick sings like the ultimate heavyweight champ of the world. Damn.

(1967) This movie is so totally fuggin cool that I didnt really mind the little bit of bad acting and editing which included some real ham-fisting by Star Trek’s very own Dr Roger Corby whose name it took me going to sleep and waking up to fully recall without any help from imdb. |

Thought this photo was a funny little book review in and of itself.
The book sucks primarily because every character in it is a real piece of shit. Like an Altman film but somehow Altman could make that work for me. Or at least he did in “Nashville”. Not “Shortcuts” though. But that’s a whole different section on the website.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) Being quite familiar with Gilliam’s progression I feel I can safely say that this visual extravaganza was not made one iota more confusing by the untimely passing of that wonderful Heath Ledger than it otherwise wouldve been. |
 |
(2009) Did a good job of making me real uncomfortable for an hour and forty-four minutes and I did laugh but only until they’d bring in the toothless indie acoustic rock songs for the Starbucks thirty-something viewers and that, of course, would totally kill my buzz. |

This is the image on the cover of “No Less Than Victory” by Jeff Shaara, the book I read last week whilst in the South. Kills me. This was the coolest book on WWII I’ve ever read. This guy manages to avoid the dialogue cliches of the genre but still gets the occaisional macho dramatic scene to really happen. Damn. So good. You really should read this.

I called two different places whose numbers were listed in the paper down here “if you would like to volunteer”.
The first one said they didn’t have anything for me and told me to ask local people if they knew anyone to ask. The second told me that all of the cleanup jobs were paid positions hired by BP and I’d have to apply for one if I wanted to help. Wtf?!!! No wonder there are maybe tens or hundreds of thousands of dying birds/fish/animals etc and maybe tens or dozens of people working to save them.
Anyhoo, they took my info and said if I was interested in helping out around an office they would give me a call. I said “sure, do it”, but its been days and they seem to have blown me off.
Idiots rule.
