Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments Weekend Music Thread – Love and Marriage Emerson Lake and Palmer, “Take Me Closer to Believing” was on our (informal) wedding invitation so many years ago. Some of the best lyrics I know. » Posted By foodchain On June 25, 2011 @ 11:26 am Peter Paul and Mary, I thought “Free to be You and Me” was a song but it’s not. » Posted By foodchain On June 25, 2011 @ 11:19 am The Daily Planet, Vol. One Hundred Hi Cher. HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on being 100! It’s always exciting to see the array of topics and guilt producing because I can’t get to enough of them. (True for most of PlanetPOV) I wish I could do it all and have creative and informing comments, but, jeeeeez, does that take time! lol. I am now trying very hard to be someone who understands dog’s whispers(!) so I’m a little removed from this great site. My hardy thanks to you for The Daily Planet, your comments and your great sense of humor. (Your dog was one of the pics that tossed me over the edge 😉 ) » Posted By foodchain On June 21, 2011 @ 4:19 pm The Weekend Music Thread – Water And Handel’s “Water Music” as part of our out door wedding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf6RfR7YHto someone should do surf Beach Boys » Posted By foodchain On June 19, 2011 @ 8:23 pm Well, nostalgia, “Old Man River” Always something to learn from these lyrics.
» Posted By foodchain On June 19, 2011 @ 8:18 pm Fortunes, “Rainy Day Feeling Again” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvVhMnl8sdk Corny as is may be, Good old cowboy music, Sons of the Pioneers, “Cool, Clear Water” » Posted By foodchain On June 19, 2011 @ 8:12 pm Instead of Blaming the President, Why Not Learn Some English? The sad, the bad and the ugly have little to do with Weiner; he’s an idiot who should apologize profusely and his wife should come home and stand with him and “shame” the press, just as Vitter and his wife did. Vitter’s wife stopped them all. Weiner is another victim of the convoluted news media whose only goal seems to be “Let’s Make A Scene” or “Fool for the Day” or “Gottcha”. The power to CREATE news is their only way to assure ratings and revenues. The transgression here is that the Democratic House and Senate do not stand up for the President, they do not stand up for democratic legislation and principles, they do not stand up for each other. Not enough of them do. To worry about snickering at Weiner in the House is an odd exercise in itself; the hypocrisy expressed in that chamber is already laughable. The further offense is that by the very act of making outrageous statements, utter distortions and untruths, the GOP assures themselves ownership of the news cycle—unless a Weiner happens along. We need more than English I think. We need guts. » Posted By foodchain On June 15, 2011 @ 3:27 pm EXCLUSIVE: The Secret Palin Emails! Keith Jackson—sorry! I was headed off in a complete other direction. I should have known 😉 » Posted By foodchain On June 10, 2011 @ 6:19 pm A KY guy should know about oral history, eh? » Posted By foodchain On June 10, 2011 @ 6:09 pm KT, I went back to read more Du Fu. He is a provocative poet. I didn’t think to read him; there is sooooh much history in China that it’s hard to pick A thing to focus on. » Posted By foodchain On June 7, 2011 @ 7:47 pm Cher, thank you! Just back from many hours of older puppy training. YOu must have the biggest finger tips ever! ;-). “nor till the poets among us can be for inspection, imaginary gardens with real toads in them, shall we have Thank you for this. I’m sending it to my son who is an English/poetry person on, as KT says, finding his whole. I’m excited about my puppy; pics of your dog helped move me into the HERE! » Posted By foodchain On June 7, 2011 @ 7:26 pm Poetry —probably needs a poem to describe itself. I really like that I have to take it in slowly so as not to miss it, just as those few minutes should be taken slowly so as not to miss the apples sweetening, the love, the night sounds. Good luck with the exams 😉 » Posted By foodchain On June 7, 2011 @ 2:54 pm Although crotches do seem to be in SNL’s area of expertise » Posted By foodchain On June 2, 2011 @ 2:36 pm jkk, I guess we could stuff her and put her in an interactive diorama. That would seem appropriate. » Posted By foodchain On June 2, 2011 @ 8:22 pm I actually think Bachmann is not mediocre. I just think shes’ not contemporary. She’s done a lot. It just doesn’t move our country forward. It’s what makes her awkward and good at the same time—her appeal to other non contemporaries and her simultaneous irrelevance. Plain? There’s a trick–cheap at that. » Posted By foodchain On June 2, 2011 @ 7:24 pm Morning KT, Du Fu is a national treasure; funny how little we know of China. We had the opportunity to visit Du Fu’s Thatched Cottage in Chengdu. One of many treats. Hot Pot was a good one too!! 😉 » Posted By foodchain On June 2, 2011 @ 6:05 am KT, I know so many who love ee because he was iconoclastic, and that was fun (my English teacher wouldn’t buy the no caps and no punctuation) but his images were beyond the angst of the young. But aren’t we thankful for him to start us? » Posted By foodchain On June 1, 2011 @ 7:46 pm KT, I miss him greatly but adore what he is doing. He’d love to have you visit. Great place called the “Bookworm” in Chengdu. Literary festivals, poetry slams, Abigail Washington did an album with kids, adults expressing sounds from their earthquake a few years back. Great opportunities there that are reserved for the elite here. Sort of like a frontier, pioneering. As a female, I still hope to be that forward! » Posted By foodchain On June 1, 2011 @ 7:06 pm Kt, I hope you have shared this with your daughter, or that you will. I can’t think of a more profound gift. » Posted By foodchain On June 1, 2011 @ 6:54 pm jkk, oh crap, snif is a dog social networking thing!! Laughing , laughing, laughing. Who though I’d need to spell check snif. Got the smile back jkk! » Posted By foodchain On June 1, 2011 @ 6:31 pm KT let me add ee cummings “since feeling is first”. I won’t copy it because i’m sure everyone knows it, but in my early years, everyone was what degrees what career, what 5 year plan, 10 year plan, what would your epitaph be? I could only think—- since feeling is first..,.,, » Posted By foodchain On June 1, 2011 @ 6:24 pm KT, what a treat! Your line: Within the poet is a blank space that needs filling…..that is a treasure of a thought. my son left the suburbs for CHina– southwest–because there was no ( not good on iPad keyboard) » Posted By foodchain On June 1, 2011 @ 6:07 pm Jkk, yeah. it wasn’t the big weep but……some of this is my unresolved current stuff– son moved to Asia, two great dogs, one helluva cat AND my Mom passing– and two brother In laws all passing in 2 yes time. I’m still hurdling this bunch! Probably a three beer story 😉 » Posted By foodchain On June 1, 2011 @ 5:47 pm Adonai please forgive me but…..aren’t. Glad I didn’t say banana? ido have some better thought toco tribute; just short on time . » Posted By foodchain On June 1, 2011 @ 5:18 pm JRT, well, you got me too, snif. But it’s important to understand. It’s what makes us bigger, fuller. » Posted By foodchain On June 1, 2011 @ 1:59 pm jkk, sorry I missed this and what an interesting few days, eh? I’m really glad Grayson is doing well. I was afraid that his “vocalness” didn’t play well. And look at Wiener! Perhaps he didn’t paly within the rules. And, please, disagreement is information on this site. I love it and learn from it. You I trust completely. » Posted By foodchain On June 2, 2011 @ 6:41 pm Weiner is the only one who will play in the park. Feingold and Grayson seem to want their own ball, bat and bases. I don’t see how that works. Buyers remorse with Walker in WI is SO huge that Feingold looks strong for either Gov or Senate. Grayson, I don’t know how he’s doing. Weiner is great. No holds barred but he plays in the game. I’m tired of quiet, passive, give them enough rope democrats but these overt outliers aren’t exactly helpful to our President and so far, he’s the only one with a vision beyond self electing and lobbyist money » Posted By foodchain On May 31, 2011 @ 7:38 pm It seems more and more difficult to find a democrat other than Obama. Dick Durbin? Nancy? Harry? Maybe they’re busy standing for something in the Senate and the House, but the TV is filled with GOP news. The only news I receive from Democratic organizations is requests for money. If they can’t make hay out of this GOP platform and track record–complete with video–if they can’t be more visible—if they think the GOP will hang themselves–well, I just get skeered. » Posted By foodchain On May 31, 2011 @ 1:56 pm The Lamestream Media’s Monster Ha! For pizza she’s got class! My bet is Donald is a sissy and she had to follow his lead. » Posted By foodchain On June 1, 2011 @ 12:23 pm Caru, here are two small gems From the “Rolling Stones”, June 9th issue. “2000 TIPPING THE ELECTION TO BUSH: The man Ailes put in charge of calling states on election night was John Prescott Ellis-George Bush’s first cousin. His premature call for Bush spurred every other network to follow suit. ‘Of everything that happened on election night,’ said Rep. Henry Waxman, ‘this was the most important in impact.'” “Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us,” said David Frum, the former Bush speechwriter. “Now we’re discovering that we work for Fox.” Frum’s claim was the “axis of evil” for Bush’s speech. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/how-roger-ailes-built-the-fox-news-fear-factory-20110525 » Posted By foodchain On May 31, 2011 @ 12:40 pmComments Posted By foodchain

“literalists of

insolence and triviality and can present
it.” This describes this poem so well. And the field is so enormous that the describers always seem limited.Moore does a good job of describing the many aspects. And even so, the translation of mind to word is so limited.
“real” experience to be found— he thought. He has written and been ( modestly) published. I think he chooses to not fill his spot with what others think important, but prefers to leave the spot open until he finds the right experience. Boy, do I envy him. —great stuff!
