Edgy Political Commentary!

I've posted a heavy video my husband created for our shows. The song is an indictment of war profiteers that have influenced U.S. foreign policy, at the peril of our soldiers and our Bill of Rights. Not really for the faint-of-heart. So, pass if you are feeling sensitive. It has been known to offend some of our audience members. It has been incredibly well-received at most of our shows! 

Dogs of War (Music by Pink Floyd/Video by Rich Harley)

P.S. I hope our president-elect does not give us any material for videos like this! I guess we'll see...

My head is heading in too many directions!

Try as I may...my wonderfully circuitous brain is undermining itself. My brain has a pattern all of its own, which I have embraced in my old age. I am not a linear gal, and I really can accept that. The only danger is when I've gotten myself too busy, then I'm in trouble. My brain stops being creative place to be. Quickly, all the curly-cues become stunted and the flourishes die off. I'm left with little wisps of ideas that disintegrate when I reach for them. It's a sad, sad place to live. Then, I get on my own nerves! I find myself daydreaming about one of my favorite lyrics (from the B-52's)..."Get a job! What for? I need time to think!"...it's from a song called "The Deadbeats Club". It conjures up spending the day in coffeehouses having deep thoughts with your caffinated friends. Man, I miss those days! It's all about orthodonists, doctor appointments, grading papers, Touro assignments and that damned research textbook. I'm worried that (in the words of Gob from Arrested Development)..."I've made a huge mistake!" Sigh. More will be revealed!
