I'm relieved that someone in our community remembered the birthday card tradition. I've a very bad track record on birthdays. Mea culpa.
Thanks Steve and JJ. It's back to discussing Babs and Madonna now. sigh. Strange that noone wants to discuss fame itself on a discussion list dedicated to an artist. Or discuss Joni's lack of writing. I'm getting burned out on entertainment in general and beginning to question what it means to put an actor or even a songwriter on a pedestal. We don't emulate gardeners or programmers. We don't gossip about school teachers or follow the career of business people. Why atheletes? Whither the pretty face? What does it mean to have charisma? What is it about Whoppee Goldberg that makes me happy and proud? What's it all about, Alfie? (Babs Content) A sad smile, my apology. Sad eyes reaching for the door. Jim L'Hommedieu (Lama)
