The Great Path is really no Great Path.

WASHINGTON - After secret interrogations, the CIA transferred to U.S. military custody a high-level al-Qaida figure who helped Osama bin Laden escape from Afghanistan in 2001, the Pentagon announced Friday.

This is Bo Diddley from the concert movie "Let The Good Times Roll", which appeared around 1972.  He was one of a large number of 1950's groups and performers who performed for the then-younger generation.  The film included pictures and film clips of American life during the fifties, and was filmed in what I call the "Woodstock style":  often two or more screens, some mirror reflections, some of alternate locations, themes, and times.

Bo shared the stage with the Shirelles, Chuck Berry,  the Five Satins, Little Richard, the Coasters,  Chubby Checker, and many others.   At the end of the movie he and Chuck Berry made history by performing together for the very first time.

This is Bo as I'll always remember him.  Here you see the man who led the way for Jimi Hendrix and other musicians for decades to come.

This video was made by a 15-year-old genius who calls himself "Godzilla2themaxx" on YouTube.com.  He incorporated scenes from the best of the Godzilla movies, from 1954 to now, and took Rob Zombie's "Dragula [Si Non Oscillas, Noli Tintinnare Mix]" from the album "American-Made Music To Strip By."

Later he created another video using the same music, but using scenes only from the movie "Godzilla:  Final Wars".

I personally consider this the better video.  I was born about the time the first Godzilla movie appeared, so the two of us share some history.  And the combination of Rob Zombie's music and the scenes in this video never fail to get my blood pumping.

I love it.

What fruits and vegetables are in season where you live?  Have you incorporated them into your recipes?

 

 

 

Basically, the only fruits and vegetables I've been aware of lately are all politicians.  And business owners.  And government personnel.

O.J. Simpson is back in the news again.  What are your thoughts on the release of "If I Did It" and his recent arrest?

Maybe God's punishing him, little by little, for what he did one night some years ago.  I believe he's lost all credibility in this country, save with a few die-hard core worshippers. 

At the rate he's going, it may not be all that long before he's homeless and wandering the streets.  By then the theocrats & neocons will have reinstated vagrancy laws, and he'll get arrested for that as wel.

What television show stands the test of time?

The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, as well as their descendants.
