Squeeze Documentary: Take Me I'm Yours 2012 and my Glenn Tilbrook experience.

Image
I have seen and met Glenn Tilbrook multiple times.  Squeeze remains one of the most under rated bands of all time.  One of the times I saw Glenn solo acoustic in Cambridge at the House of Blues.  As the show ended, he told us to meet him outside in 10 minutes.  He went on to perform on various park benches, literally running around Cambridge with the audience.  A true talent.  It was like the below clip except at night.  From 2001...This reviewer was at the show I attended and he described it perfectly Somewhere in the annals of rock music is a graveyard for bands that have had the misfortune to be compared to the Beatles. That comparison is one of the most overused clichés in the history of pop music, and has probably buried far more acts than it has helped. For each act that’s had a noted songwriting similarity to Lennon and McCartney, there has inevitably been a pile of reasons why they simply weren’t as good. Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, the m...

Cinema Secrets You Missed in The Wizard of Oz

Image
I found this video fascinating.  The effort and complexity that went into creating this "movie" is literally unbelievable.  The mechanisms used to film the tornado and the flying monkeys seem supernatural for 1939.  I surmise that this "movie" is a giant magic ritual on manKIND.  Before the internet, it was a yearly ritual for the entire family to watch the Wizard of Oz on network television.

72 degrees in November reawakens my interest in the garden.

Image
The weather has been beyond outstanding for early November with highs in the mid 70's.  It has inspired me to do another round of planting radishes, lettuces, endive, escarole, and radicchio.  The dill, cilantro, wasabina, and current lettuces have been undamaged by the few frosts so far.  I am planting 2 different types of kale today for the first time. It may even be able to overwinter in my growing zone.  For as depressed as the critter attacks get me, I still find it uplifting to be outside watching the growth process.
