With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy - I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
I enjoy paying taxes. With them I buy civilization.

This should be an easy entry to write. What did I do yesterday? I wrote two entries of Wise Madness. If you missed them go back and read them now. Yes that means you. Don't you want to read about my fun weekend filled with musicians and friends and musicians that are friends?
Now I could write about politics today but I won't. I’m going to show you pretty pictures instead. Yes I figured out how to coax the pictures out of my camera. All I needed to do was reboot my computer. I think the problem is that I physically disconnected the camera before the software was finished working with it.
So lets go back to Saturday.
Obigatory establishing shot
Abbie and Anthony's big shot playing on Broadway.
Part of what makes the concerts in the park is the visual setting.
The Little Red Abbie and the Big Beige Building
Obligatory shot of Anthony looking intense
Obligatory shot of Abbie looking cute
Her hair my friend is blowin' in the wind
l to r: Sharon, Chris, Viki, Richard, and Dennis
In the back there are a few more of my friends. The woman between Chris and Viki in the white dress with blue dots is Erika. The dark-haired woman behind and to the left of Dennis is Susan.
Cephus and Wiggins – Cephus on the guitar and Wiggins on harmonica
Nora manning the WFUV booth
You can see the rest of the album here.
Now on to Sunday and the house concert. I should have taken pictures of the preconcert dinner but I was too busy eating and socializing then. I can't believe I didn't take one shot of the audience. Bad Horvendile! No Cookie!
Iain and Peter arranged for some very dramatic lighting for the concert.
Penelope Swales and Iain Campbell Smith
The Slideshow Begins
You too can learn pidgen
Someone changes your capo for you when you play. Now that's class.
We all sang along
Penelope got that shirt from SONiA
Here are the rest of the photos: Web Album.
The point of a concert is the music that you hear. It isn't about what you see. Does that make taking concert pictures stupid? Not that I'd let that stop me.
Today is John Lennon's Birthday. I already alluded to one of his songs. I'll give the lyrics to another that is unfortunately is still relevant.
Gimme Some Truth
Im sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
