TOD:

I find the whole thing most disgusting.

It is outrageous that someone whose greatest accomplishment is posting something on Facebook can "cancel" a film or book or play....because he is triggered.

Said person usually knows NOTHING about history or context.

It is ridiculous.

I fully agree.

Let's make it unanimous.
Add me to the chorus.

But there’s a different aspect to this, and that is simply that tastes change. Is it cancel culture?

If you have to wear a cone, be a superhero.

It’s interesting that BK was listening to What Makes Sammy Run? last night. I was just finishing up the book. I’m going to have to dig up the cast recording this weekend.

I once worked with a Big-Time Sammy Glick. Disgusting person.

And I am home!  I arrived at the lab around 10:45 and was in a taxi for home by 11:00.

Amazon Fresh has been delivered.  I can prepare to step out.

This has me envisioning DR Elmore stepping out onto the sidewalk, taking a deep breath of fresh air, twirling his cane, tipping his top hat to passersby, and sniffing a daisy before tucking it into his pocket.

Am I so wrong?

Well, I’ve gone through several thousand CDs this morning and no Sammy. But I found things I didn’t know I owned. Oy, does my collection need organizing.

I have finished Shakespeare Wallah. I don't know that I had seen the movie before, yet a few scenes felt very familiar. Wonderful tribute to the theater, kind of like an Indian version of Priestley's Lost Empires.

Back from a great walk. It is definitely Spring, although there is still snow in upcoming forecasts.

"It's a cinch, like choking babies."

Great line from Sammy Glick from one of the short stories that grew into the novel.

I don't know why it didn't occur to me before, but I just realized that TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT is also a Rod Stewart song.
