A brilliant, astute and culturally focused critique of popular culture is offered by Pontifex maximus in an address yesterday in Rome which was essentially completely ignored by major media. And his remarks are informed heavily by a life lived as a youth in Chicago. www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

When the Rock and Roll Trio was playing with the Doc MacQueen Swing Band at the Hideaway in Memphis, Johnny Burnette's day job was working as a repo man, and also as a deck hand on barges crossing the Mississippi.
He was also an amateur boxer, as were the rest of the group.

Apropos great queer art on my timeline...
Jack Smith is my hero and my dream. Listen to this brilliant radio drama he orchestrated in his honor.

I was able to rewatch Superstar: the Karen Carpenter Story last night and while it remains a top 10 film of all time, the most specifically modern insight I took away this watch was that, especially given the historical accident of its available medium, it truly is Analog Horror avant la lettre.
