Rumpus Machine - L.A. Woman

no seriously CHECK OUT THESE YOUNGSTERS!

Out of the mouths of babes . . . .

 This clip has come back around and it is a favourite . . . . . obviously!

"The differences that so often separate adults are not the ones these kids reach for. Skin color, religion, money, social status, those are distinctions they’re taught later on. For now, some of the main differences lie in what they like to eat, what they like to do, where they live in the neighborhood, and yes, maybe even the size of their toes.

There’s something worth remembering in that we aren’t born knowing which differences are supposed to divide us" The Female Quotient

Sunday Best . . . . .Person of The Week!

 

Person Of The Week!

“If the narcs think I’m gonna stop baking brownies for my kids with AIDS, they can go fuck themselves in Macy’s window!”

Mary Jane Rathbun (1922-1999) was raised in Minneapolis and later became known as "Brownie Mary" in San Francisco as the Godmother of the medical marijuana movement.

Lots of people I met in San Francisco were just a little different!

If in doubt be like Mary Jane!

I liked her!

Penny Arcade - Everything's Easy [Tapete Records) - a Sealyman recommendation

 So the Sealyman Maestro dropped by and mentioned he was awaiting a CD (ask your father!) by Penny Arcade so I had to check them out. There is a fair bit on YouTube which I REALLY LIKED some from 2024 and more recently so this recent effort is for The Sealyman!
