Viva Brecht

Blasts from the past in this journal:

1. Hollywood Elegies (Brecht's version of "I Love L.A."
   
   
2. Has the government lost confidence in the people? There's a solution...
   
   
3. From Hal Willner's brilliant Lost in the Stars: Stan Ridgway sings The Cannon Song (2.0M .mp3) and Dagmar Krause does Surabaya Johnny 3.8M, .mp3). Take that damned pipe out of your mouth, you rat!

I was just sitting here freakwatching at Ruba and got the irresistable urge to hear "Scotland the Brave."

Two minutes later, the Gordon Highlanders were providing my soundtrack.

The next pick on random was "Summer of Drugs" which was apropos for the environment.
