Your tunnel vision is now a catastrophe.
Birds covered in oil
They can’t fly no more
They can’t breathe no more

The hurricane warnings caused a panic here. Hurricane Felicia was roaring at 160 mph last week in the Pacific. My friend Vicki told me last Saturday, as we were about to go to the theater in Kona to see Nora Ephron’s movie about the iconic Julia Childs, “the reason it’s so still today is because [...]
How ironic that on the same day I was scheduled to make my “encore” video of a song I had sung in my teens that Michael Jackson was being memorialized. 7.7.or July 7, 2009, only a few blocks away from the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, where 16,000 people were peacefully gathered to celebrate [...]
