So blessed to be able to enjoy nearly a month on this solo adventure. --Plaid

Another kick-ass day!
OutonthetownwithLaurie.
Gotta say, not a HUGE fan of Queen, but the quality of the sound track got me to tap my feet and the cats were wonderful and it was a tad overlong but the cinematography excellent, esp. in closeups.
One shot of the live aid concert with the camera swooping in from the sky and over the heads of the crowd and up to the stage was a highlight. Go see it.
We went wall-to-wall Mexican for lunch and again for dinner. I'm pretty beat. Heading for toes-up-land.

hey there, say, DMT... wow, i have seen this before...
these birds really respond so deep-into-it ...
i used to have my little parakeet, COPYING the telephone...
the grandkids, when here, would hear the phone...
constantly... NOPE-- i said...
it IS the bird... the just did not believe, 'til they saw and heard it...
first time ever, i was on computer dial up-- i was ON line, thus:
i KNEW it was NOT the phone, :O
what on earth???? it was the BIRD...
:))
SADLY, less phone calls and, now-- he does not do it anymore...
wish he'd sing and dance like these BIG birds, though, :))
thanks for sharing... :)

I didn't get it when I first heard the news about the controversy. The Senate was holding hearings, threatening to cut funding to the NEA. I was young. Some things take time to distill for me.
And the band played on. Falwell saying AIDS is God's punishment for gays. I met a nurse who treated quarantined patients on the top of SF General. Some good people didn't fail in the persecution.

Just sayin' bout Freddy, he didn't wanna be the Poster Boy for AIDS.
I had a book by some Brit and it might have been T Pratchett. One of his repeated humorous devices was to mentinon finding Queen tapes in the car when looking for something else.
Aw, WTF, someone will play it if it is not me.
Carry on, carry on.

Hustler Magazine v. Falwell
In 1983, Larry Flynt's pornographic magazine Hustler carried a parody of a Campari ad, featuring a mock "interview" with Falwell in which he admits that his "first time" was incest with his mother in an outhouse while drunk.
Falwell sued for $45 million, alleging invasion of privacy, libel, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. A jury rejected the invasion of privacy and libel claims, holding that the parody could not have reasonably been taken to describe true events, but ruled in favor of Falwell on the emotional distress claim and awarded damages of $200,000. This was upheld on appeal.
Flynt then appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which unanimously held that the First Amendment prevents public figures from recovering damages for emotional distress caused by parodies.
After Falwell's death, Larry Flynt released a comment regarding his friendship over the years with Falwell.
"My mother always told me that no matter how much you dislike a person, when you meet them face to face you will find characteristics about them that you like. Jerry Falwell was a perfect example of that. I hated everything he stood for, but after meeting him in person, years after the trial, Jerry Falwell and I became good friends. He would visit me in California and we would debate together on college campuses. I always appreciated his sincerity even though I knew what he was selling and he knew what I was selling."
Happens all the time round here.

Fallwell, an oxymoron? Just a moron? Can a word be a hypocrite too?
Trying to think of notable Sothherners. Flynt, HST? Kentucky Colonels? DMT?
Seeing some history remembered here makes me smile. Nice hat. Cheers.

Nostalgia, when impeachable offenses included lying about a blow job.
Say what you will, but I'll take those that will lie, while maybe misguidedly trying to help you, over those who lie, and do their best to f@ck you.
Again, nice hat, really.
Falwell, got a little on the side, didn't he?
