Actually, recalling Tracy Bonham made me think of a word request. Anybody out there ever heard of or been involved in a [nomance]? Tracy and I used to call it ‘the grey area’, somewhere in-between friends and lovers, but without any title or officialness. Probably would have worked out okay if I didn’t get fed up with the neutrality of it all. Oh well… c’est la vie!

• Hmmm… things I am a fan of include:

  HotForWords! Of course.

  Mystery Science Theatre 3000. And all the related shows since like The Film Crew, Rifftrax, and Cinematic Titanic.

  Columbo. Sadly, Peter Falk is in a horrible state these days as he rapidly descended into severe dementia after having a weird reaction to dental anesthesia a year or so back. It’s so bad that he doesn’t even recall any of his acting history, including Columbo.

  OTR. Acronym for ‘Old Time Radio’. I love a lot of the horror radio dramas of the past, and a lot are online for listening/downloading. A few show titles that come to mind are ‘Fear On Four’, ‘CBS Radio Mystery Theater’, ‘Nightfall’, ‘Darkness’, ‘Halls Of Fantasy’, and the list could go on and on…

  Bobby Conn. An over-the-top singer/songwriter based in Chicago who is usually a bit too much for most listeners, but is very very skilled musically. I started out as a fan of his in 2002, met him in 2004, and have been a friend ever since. His last album: ‘King For A Day’. My album: ‘Here Comes The King’. Mutual appreciation, perhaps?

  And then there’s a few musicians I am a fan/friend of because I worked with and befriended them… Jon Brion, Damon Gough (aka Badly Drawn Boy), Nerina Pallot, Rhett Miller, Jackie Greene… I’d also list Eleni Mandell, tho I never worked with her and instead met her through mutual friends. I’d list Tracy Bonham too, but she and I kind of had a minor falling out over a slight romantic entanglement a few years back, but I still like her music. And I no longer list Michael Penn or his wife Aimee Mann as friends as I had a major falling out with them last year over Aimee’s own fanaticism, but I guess I’m still a fan of their respective music. Aimee’s next album should be interesting to hear…

  I think that sums up most of the people and shows I am a fan of. Thanks for the interesting lesson, Marina! Peace, Errin : )

  p.s. And for any potential fan of mine out there, you can listen to my music at http://www.myspace.com/errinfamilia .

  LOL! Exactly, James. Well put.

  The placebo effect is rather fascinating, but I would have to believe that it is limited by how serious the illness is. The more intense the illness, the less likely the placebo effect will help ‘cure’ it. I wonder just when doctors started using placebos and when they discovered the phenomenon of the placebo effect.

  I don’t think they view their job as standing for something. They basically view their positions as a way to perpetuate the status quo, and only try to legislate and fix things when they have to. As much as the leadership deserves the blame for being so inert, so does the electorate for being so complacent.

  To me, being progressive has little to do with liberalism, conservatism, or socialism. It simply means trying to progress things forward regardless of direction (right or left). Progress is a good thing. Efficiency is a good thing. But those in political power do not like progress because it means inviting change, and inviting change means risking losing some control or profit. Human nature is such that those in power focus first and foremost on retaining that power. So, for a while now, our politicians in Washington DC have merely been babysitting the country and doling out progress as little as possible. Hence the placebo nation we find ourselves living in.

  Well, you are an odd cat, Leonard, but you sure know how to link to cool stuff online!

  I’m a huge T Rex fan myself, but I have yet to watch ‘Born To Boogie’ because it has been hard to find. I didn’t even think of doing an internet search for it. Besides the youtube segments, the entire documentary can be viewed at Google Video:

  Have you ever seen the documentary about Nick Drake? It’s a tad depressing, but worth watching if you are a Nick Drake fan. It’s called ‘A Skin Too Few’. Here’s a link to it’s first segment on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R7vzeEVoV0

  Peace, Errin : )
