Gulags are a’coming
Check this out: Bush has just signed into law a bill (HR 5122) that gives him the right to order military forces into any state that he deems necessary. You can read the pertinent section of the bill below, and I also suggest you check out Frank Morales’ story, “Bush Moves toward Martial Law” on …

Jo Cose has a wonderfully written description of his quest for a fish tank spread over several posts, beginning with “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish”. His account is keenly observational with a hint of wit and a touch of the sardonic. Additionally, he writes with a lightness of touch that LtL admires and is sometimes a bit jealous of.
Eric Lichtblau has a good article on the US Goverment’s tracking and documentation of anti-war protests over at Common Dream: “Documents Reveal Scope of US Database on Antiwar Protests”
He is on my links list, but The Playgoer provides consistently excellent coverage and analysis of the theatre world and I highly recommend checking out his site.
Marx – Part 1
I have been reading The Marx-Engels Reader and have just finished the first section which presents a number of Marx’s early writings. I am amazed at how relevant and important his work remains. Beyond the purely academic use of Marx in Academic circles– a use that is often filtered through Louis Althusser and other post-Marx …
Why you should watch Battlestar Galactica
I would challenge anyone to name a more complex television series. Ever. Perhaps it is an unfair comparison because we live in an increasingly complex world. One where, try as we might, no relevant answers or solutions are simple and BG is committed to grappling with some of the most topical themes and issues of …
Home Page
For a while now, I’ve been looking around for a start page that I like as well as an rss reader that works for me. Google and Live.com both offer personalized start pages that I have used, but they never really did it for me. I’ve downloaded RSS Bandit and while it works ok, I’m …
Sunday Sessions on Hiatus
Just a quick note to let you know that LtL is taking a break from the Sunday Sessions schedule for a week or two.
Thanks to all those who have been checking in and if you haven’t read any of my poetry, fiction, screenplays or stage plays, feel free to head over to the corresponding pages and for some non-music creativity. Comments, as always, are more than welcome!
Reading the Fine Print
So I thought that I would get an account with Associated Content – a website that claims to be “The People’s Media Company.” I figured I could sell some of my articles, try to get some wider exposure. So I signed up and then read the “INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR/LICENSE AGREEMENT.” I don’t think I will be …
Sunday Sessions – Song 6
A brand spankin’ new instrumental . . . not even finished!
Just for you.
Sunday Sessions – Song 5
Back from the old recordings and here with a brand new recording (of a 3 year old song).
I wrote this one for my brother.
I’m in a bit of a rush, so I’ll add the lyrics to this post tonight or tomorrow.
