<When you’re wise enough to know it takes a community to raise a child. [That makes you "wise"? This is what comes out of the microscopic bubo of tissue that serves this official as a brain. If you can't think of a dozen people in your community whom you most emphatically don't want coming anywhere near your child, let alone "raising" your child for you, you don't think at all.]>

ahhhahahahahah

Wonderful, that's one of my favorite of your steamed columns for sure.

So now you have some hard evidence about the BC Government mindset that erects "Green Wellness" signs around hospitals telling me to not smoke or curse.

I didn't get where I am today by not smoking and cursing on the street outside of hospitals.

In my father's day, people smoked and cursed *inside* hospitals.

Thanks for that <Sly and the Family Stone>. For my money he is the King of Funk of All time.

I'm not a funk expert or even a funk fan per se, but I think <Sly's funk> is at the top of the heap. Everything about him and his crew.

He was a big hit at Woodstock as well eh?

Here is some live Sly from the mother of all hippy festivals:

A friend who was one of the 8 million people who said they were at Woodstock says Sly was the best group there.

Here's his funkiest tune which was one of the most influential songs ever.

Ah, the alchemy of government! By which some perfectly ordinary ninnie is elected or appointed to a public post, and instantaneously becomes a high authority on every conceivable subject!

According to Herodotus, King Darius I of Persia once hired a Greek physician to look after his family. He reposed unlimited confidence in this doctor, only to discover the man was abusing his position of trust by doing hanky-panky with the queen.

Unlike us, poor sods, Darius ordered a servant to remind him every day of how that doctor cuckolded him, so that he would never again expect people he had elevated to a high position to deal honestly.

For some reason I have gone a bit Fischer nuts recently, and my last few videos feature Fischer games.

I have used the Chessgames.com opening explorer to simulate the top moves of Fischer vs the top moves of Kasparov to create an opening simulation. There follows two interesting stem games, one of which is Nigel Short vs Kasparov.

Here is the video of interest to this theoretical opening simulation which is essentially the Fischer-Sozin attack system vs Kasparov's Najdorf preferences :-

This is a substantial interview too. He really loves John. Also interesting that he thinks it wasn't until the White Album until he didn't think of John and Paul as a real songwriting team, as "joined at the hip."

They weren't really a songwriting "team" per se at any point, except maybe as two geniuses who helped and pushed each other to greater and greater creativity.

I remember from the BEATLES VERY LONG ANTHOLOGY film how shocked the reactions of the other Beatles were when Paul recorded "Yesterday," which was of course the first "solo" Beatles track in some sense.

They weren't against Paul at that point by any means, but they knew what it meant maybe way down the road.

Taylor is not disrespectful to <Elvis> but he does make a comparison in which <John> was trying to do more than The King.

I wonder if he thinks Elvis would have been better if he got Yoko Ono.

lol

That was kind of creepy in the GIANT BEATLES ANTHOLOGY MOVIE WHICH I SEEN TWICE NOW when they visited Elvis.

The lads didn't exactly say anything disrespectful either, but they also made it clear how weird an experience it was for them.

Actually it's refreshing to hear someone with the intellectual stature of James Taylor say something positive about Yoko and her influence on John.

He's pretty generous in his comments about how much they Beatles helped him during his year on Apple Records, and also the "partying" they did with a "chemical focus."

Those crazy rock stars eh?

Looks like I picked a bad decade to stop dropping acid.

I'm not sure if I agree with Taylor that John was more of a "collector" of musical and cultural ideas than he was a pioneer.

I think John was first in on a lot of new directions in music, maybe more than anyone else from that time.

Chilling that Taylor had been accosted by that crazy moron just a day before he murdered Lennon.

Then he actually heard the shot that killed John because he was living just a short distance from the Dakota Hotel.

I like how Taylor refuses to "summarize" John's legacy. He wants to talk more about what more John could have done if he'd lived.

A wonderful folky cover of "In My Life" to end, it's choking me up.
