This link appears to go to a forum where Brian Kehew, co-author of “Recording the Beatles”, does some posting.
He Who Shall Not Be Named
It was a couple of days ago, and I didn’t forget. Wasn’t sure I wanted to post anything. Twenty eight years ago already. I remember when ‘Double Fantasy’ came out, thinking Lennon had really aged. Of course, I was 25 at the time. Now it’s amazing to me how young he looked.
Bigger, Better BlogRat
Lots has been changed. Not just with the blog theme, but with how I capture and edit video. With any luck there won’t be any problems serious enough to force me to go back to the way the blog looked. Let me know what you think. You may, of course, prefer the more claustrophobic format.
One topic I’ve wanted to tackle for a long time is Ayn Rand. Her influence extends from Spider-Man artist and co-creator Steve Ditko to former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. Here are ten minutes from The Fountainhead, directed by King Vidor.

No bloggin’ t’night
Sorry, but I’m trying to find a CD for some software so I can get an upgrade at an upgrade price, rather than the install price, and save $30. The one CD I need, and it’s not in my zipper case! Grrr…
Not Blue Men in Coats
While seeing Blue Man Group perform in Boston last week, I was reminded of a video I saw a few years back, with a couple of very funny Brits who call themselves Men in Coats. You will like this, I promise! I particularly enjoy the parody of 70’s “actionless” TV shows, like The Six Million Dollar Man and The Incredible Hulk. And I’m sure it’s just coincidence, but both Blue Man Group and Men in Coats use a song by The Sex Pistols in their act.

Searching comments
There’s an add-on feature for WordPress that I’ve played with a few times that extends searching to include comments. But it has a couple of quirks. It adds an index that’s seen as an error by the database, and it prevents me from searching posts when I’m in the editor. Anyway, it’s enabled right now, so if you give it a try you’ll probably see it brings up posts that don’t appear to have the thing you were looking for. You’ll undoubtedly find it in the comments.
