I wonder how many of Hollywood's ardent leftists have actually participated in this. One day, Roseanne Barr was waxing political, saying anyone worth 100 million should surrender his wealth to the greater good and, if he didn't, should be put to death. Doesn't she realize there are people who feel the same way about those worth five million, which she must be among? Then again, maybe that was her strategy. Maybe she was thinking the wolves would be satisfied after savaging the richest of the rich, creating a buffer Willie Chichi of The Godfather Part II would be proud of between her and them.
One man's trash is another's treasure, as the saying goes. As I left the building the other day, the recyclables were at the curb awaiting collection. Sitting atop a TV set were eight pristine illustrated and simplified classics for children. Today I sold four to a woman for her ten-year-old grandson. A gentleman purchased John Irving's A Son of the Circus and The Water Method Man, an amusing novel I read 30 or so years ago. I vaguely remember a character holding a dead chicken by the neck while riding as a passenger on a bicycle. I also sold the last of Arlynn's books on needlepoint and a children's book to a young mom, and Truman Capote's blockbuster In Cold Blood to Alan, who has become a semi-regular. Thanks, folks.
I had a CD I'd burned long ago playing in the car last Saturday. It kicked off with one of the most under-rated rock tracks ever, legendary British guitarist Jeff Beck's Ambitious - great vocal, great musicianship, interesting lyrics. I recalled the fun video, featuring cameo appearances by an odd assortment of celebrities, that accompanied its release in the early '90's. Sure enough someone has posted it on youtube. Here's a link to it. Enjoy:
