Food and drink are great, but this ‘foodie-ism,’ this obsession with meticulously garnered and crafted food & drink in NYC (and elsewhere), which is taken to the point of absurdity, is symptomatic of a largely confused, addled, decadent culture, grasping onto anything that provides some semblance of meaning in the void of moribund judeo-christianity, philosophy, and aesthetics
From the vault . . .
Dr. Natick Plaza, a self-professed expert on the blues, appears on Nick Loss-Eaton’s blues radio show Blueberry Muffins, and commences to ‘take it over’ and ‘sabotage’ it.
Including stream-of-consciousness riffs about supposed blues history, the roles of the sexes, Nick’s recent break-up with “his woman Jackie,” bodily functions, and 101 other uncouth and bizarre things. And featuring the music of BB King, the John Spencer Blues Explosion, the Rolling Stones, and other blues-inspired luminaries, with Dr. Plaza incorrigibly talking over much of it to Nick’s increasing frustration.
The show was not rehearsed and is completely ad-libbed; the emotions on Nick’s part are mostly real. After a little while, the show was flooded with calls (mostly positive), and it ended up being one of the most listened-to in the station’s history.

Pretty good. But I prefer: “I Want to Put My Penis Inside Your Vagina, Woman” by Martin Ricky
If 80% of success is just showing up, I must be really bad at the other 20%.
Let me tell you… Code is a lot of things… but it is NOT poetry. Help!
