Really, it's amazing and an overlooked reason for thanks --- Thus, I am thankful for TOTALLY SMOKING RED HOT  Women of the New Everyday Media like Patti Ann Browne who got up early this a.m. on ThanksGiving Day and had to leave her home and family to come in and go through "hair and make-up" and notes and research and direction from great producers and writers and go "on air" while tens of millions of Americans are probably still asleep or leisurely enjoying their coffee and watching the Macy's Day Parade anticipating eating until they burst and then having sex to burn off those calories ...
 
In fact, if being thankful for TOTALLY SMOKING RED HOT  Women of the New Everyday Media like Patti Ann Browne were an organic, free range, antibiotic and hormone free turkey - I'd stuff her on the kitchen counter and a few hours later I'd eat her at the dining room table in front of guests.
 
(And, I'd have a taste or two later in the night too and the next morn I'd eat her cold).
 
BTW, this is the first ThanksGiving I can recall not going to the old clubby club the Pittsburgh Athletics Association (PAA) where my Great Aunt Helen would have a private room for all of around the world that would fly in or just drive down one of the three rivers to be there with our own bar and bartenders and cocktail waitresses and piano player - away from the rest of PAA goers in the common rooms - all of us eating from the scrumptious plentiful and colorful spread of everything from soup to nuts --- Yeah, my Great Aunt Helen at 94 just couldn't do it this year because of her health (God Bless Her) --- So, my wife and I were going to go to her parents who kinda have been bummed that we haven't spent ThanksGiving w/ them and hardly see them anyway --- But now my wife is sick w/ the flu so she'll be having chicken noddle soup that I make her and Parker Bean and I will grill defrosted free range, antibiotic and hormone free NY strips. However, I am still very Thankful and very Grateful for being born into the family I was born into and having the childhood and beyond experiences, family, friends and memories and "semi charmed kind of life" I've had in these 38 years and looking forward to living everyday as someone who "perceives life as poetry" as the noble literary giant Wallace Fowlie said of me.

Jimi Hendrix Plays "Hound Dog" on Acoustic Guitar ... If I Were a Rapper or a Modern Day Pop Sensation, I'd Either Cry Watching This Or Be Inspired.

Jimi Hendrix hanging out with some friends, entertaining them with some bluesy acoustic guitar playing.

This footage has never been published.

This is such a royal treat to watch as in Happy Valley's Penn State University I found this rare Jimi Hendrix CD called First Time in Canada and as a one of two bonus tracks this rendition of Hound Dog was one of them. It blew me away and still does = clearly demonstrating the raw polished genius of Jimi Hendrix as a guitar player, singer, classic all-time forever Pop Icon ...

Really, if I were a rapper or pop sensation of today, I'd watch this (while stoned) and just fucking weep - or, if I were smart and humble, I'd be really inspired by this and go back to the basics and listen to what inspired Jimi and then filter out all the bull shit and then create something that's taking my game to the next level and really trying to contribute something great towards our civilization and not just be satisfied with the shallow adoration of my spoon-fed fans, record companies, DJs, media and peers who value superficial status over organic genius.

Really.

Come Over You

come on mystery girl
come light the way

come on now mystify me
ignite my world

there's a bad moon risin'
over this corrupt day

inside your bed at night
i learn the words to say ...

some kind of change is due
inside studios and living rooms
grabbed by what came over me

oh, let it come (over you)
let it come (over you)
over you, over you, over you

Stars "Quitting Acting" on ShowBiz Tonight ...

Dear AJ and Brooke:

I really enjoyed the Stars "Quitting Acting" piece on ShowBiz Tonight ...

Big name stars like Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Kevin Spacey quitting acting is certainly an attention grabber and ...

Wow, I dig it = "like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone - like the FBI, CIA, BBC, BB KING and Dorris Day - Mac Bugbee = Dig it, dig it, dig it..."
... as John Lennon sang inbetween tracks on Let It Be.

Maybe musicians are natural born rebels compared to actors or maybe it's that musicians, or these musicians I'm thinking of, have written their own material - unlike actors who are spoonfed words and then, well, act = Which, by no means, am I belittling acting as some actors are transformational figures and inspire transformation in others and inspire communion with something bigger than self.

But look at Jim Morrison who fled L.A. and the states for Paris and never came back; the Beatles walked away - and, in film, so did Eddie from Eddie and the Cruisers.

At any rate, I'm fascinated by this and I hope you keep us updated. (Psychoanalytically speaking = it's a wet dream - and I'd love to read any kind of poetry from any of these actors who quit and walk away or see or read any interview w/ them or listen to their music or see some of their artwork or just talk to them like the everyday people from stardust we are = real human be-ings).

Nepal 'Buddha Boy' returns to jungle

by Sam Taylor Sam Taylor – Sat Nov 22, 4:31 am ET

KATHMANDU (AFP)A young man believed by followers to be a reincarnation of Buddha has returned to Nepal's jungles to meditate alone, police said Saturday, as scholars cast doubt on his supporters' claims.
Known as the "Buddha Boy," Ram Bahadur Bomjam, 18, became famous in 2005 after supporters said he could meditate motionless for months without water, food or sleep.


"Bomjam went back into the jungle late Friday and all the devotees have left," police officer Gobinda Kushwaha told AFP from Neejgad, a town in Bara District, 60 kilometres (37.5 miles) south of Kathmandu.


The "Buddha Boy" reappeared earlier this month after supporters said in March 2007 that he was going to meditate for three years in an underground bunker, although he was spotted on two occasions.


For the last 10 days, he has been blessing thousands of devotees who came daily to the site in dense jungle close to Neejgad.


The president of the Nepal Buddhist Council said claims by his supporters that he was a reincarnation of Siddartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, were not credible.
