Worldwide Influence
I wrote a political satire for today's post, but in the end sent it only as a private email to some friends. They are special people who will not be shocked or surprised by it. I'm afraid, though, that the photo alone would drive people away from this blog and bring down unwanted attention from the secret police of many countries. I don't wish to end up like Wikileaks.
In writing it, I also deleted the post I had written the night before, a fluff piece of adolescent emoting.
I don't know who took the photo I posted today. It is an image I found on some tumblr post and you know those people. They never credit anything. But as you see, I am having a major impact on the world of photography.
I spent last night following some music hints that the Prodigal Girl sent to me along with some dating advice. Jesus Christ, it has come to that. But here is something I found that I liked well enough. It is a better cover of Cohen (whose greatness is untouchable) than I've heard, and they bring something else to the song. If you like it, you might like this one, too.

The "(whose greatness is untouchable)" saved your butt today.

I'm sorry you censored yourself. You certainly piqued my curiosity.
ReplyDeleteLoved "Falling." It brought this song to mind:

Katie West by Chad Micheal Ward. Uh, I hate it when those'Tumblr people' don't credit photographers.
ReplyDeleteN, Yes, I am insured .
ReplyDeleteA, The friends I sent the piece to tell me you are not. It was truly too brutal a thing to spring upon an audience grown used to my soft and constant drivel.
EJR, Thanks. I went to his site after your comment. I will contact him and tell him the tale and see if I can put something up about his work as well. Should I be sheepish?
I don't think so, he seems really sweet. Having said that I have never actually spoken to him, but I know Katie. She is, in short, pretty amazing.
