Let's see...there was Hazel, Doris, Bill, Eloise, Marcus, Doug, Ronald and my dad. That's something resembling the order of birth. At least I know Ronald and my dad were the last two born, and the last two to go. Of the siblings, I never had more than passing familiarity with anyone except Doris (the only other west-coaster), Doug and Ronald. And Ronald was the only one I had any feelings for. I think I met Bill and Hazel a couple of times when I was superduperyoung. Eloise died in a car crash in her teens, and Marcus died young of cancer or some such. Long before I was born. The premature (?) departures may have something to do with growing up as a *very* poor family in rural Northern Florida, and not having good childhood medical care. Also, I think just about all of them were smokers (my formerly chain-smoking dad developed heart problems as a twentysomething, and quit smoking around the time he got married). Additionally, there's a good chance my father's leukemia was caused by seeing a poorly safeguarded A-bomb test while in the Navy -- there's even a chance the government owes my family financial compensation for this (heaven knows when *that* will get worked out). Ironically, the brood's mother (my grandmother) doddered to an older age than any of her children. I think she was 89 when she died? Random starf*cking note: Doris was the private nurse of Vivien Leigh, at some point in the distant past. Gosh, this may be my reap-iest post EVER.

Bands North American Tour Kicks off September 22nd in Hartford, CT New York, NY- August 15, 2005- The multi-platinum and Billboard charting rock band Stryper releases Reborn TOMORROW, August 16th via Big3 Records. Reborn marks the bands first complete studio release of original material in over a decade, since 1990s Against The Law, and features 10 original tracks marked by Strypers trademark blend of melodic vocals, heavy guitar licks and pounding drums. After writing and recording some songs in April 2004, Michael Sweet approached the band about reuniting and recording the material as a Stryper record. The album was recorded in Massachussetts at Blue Jay Studio, Mixed Emotions, and Sweets home studio. Said Stryper frontman Michael Sweet of the new record, Our fans have said they would like to hear Stryper with more edge, but I didnt want to do something so heavy that it would limit us. We were able to deliver the edge yet still keep the melody and catchy guitar riffs. As for the title Reborn, Sweet remarks, I wrote the song Reborn before we decided to reunite as a band, and once we came together it was natural to make this notion the essence of the album as we feel we are being reborn. We truly feel like a new band. The release of Reborn begins a remarkable new chapter in Strypers career. With 8 albums released and more than 8 million albums sold worldwide, the band has been a pioneering force in the Christian metal music scene, and one of the most exciting forces in American rock music. Reborn encapsulates the bands signature sound, yet includes a modern twist that will not only speak to Strypers loyal fan base worldwide, but also to hard rock fans everywhere. On this album particularly, Michael Sweet and the band have pushed the envelope while still understanding the delicate balance between heaviness and melody. Reborn was written, produced and arranged by Michael Sweet (with additional production by Kenny Lewis). Original Stryper members Michael Sweet (lead vocals, guitar), Oz Fox (lead guitar), Robert Sweet (drums) welcomed Tracy Ferrie (bass) to the band for the new record and tour. Stryper will embark on a North American tour in support of the record this fall, kicking off September 22nd in Hartford, CT.

Because it has nothing to do with grammar. It has to do with getting the title of a record right. It's closer to level of calling that song by the Who "Teenage Wasteland" than it is to quibbling over serial commas.

Well, unless you imagine that sloppy copy-editing is rampant, and that the use of the apostrophe causes lots of problems. And "cheapie import cassettes" aren't known as a haven for careful copyediting...I'd trust the artwork, which stands a better chance of having been carefully paid attention to. Of course, the title as printed in the artwork was an accident waiting to happen - kinda like the Sam Phillips song "Entertainmen" or T-Bone Burnett's "Having a Wonderful Time, Wish You Were Her." (Incidentally, I thought "Odessey" was some sort of in-joke - or did they just claim that to cover up the mistake? Maybe they shoulda called it _Rat Pfink a Boo Boo_...) You know, if we wanted to, we could talk about the music on that very album. Just a thought...sorry I brought it up... > > But hey.

I actually think she was better looking on Home Improvement, before most of her surgeries. The two "good" lines (so you don't have to bother watching it) were Courtney saying that even though she and Pam have their differences they are great friends: Pam falls in love with musicians; she falls in love with good musicians. And Tommy Lee said that he had to come honor his beautiful, passionate, caring, blonde ex-wife -- but since Heather Locklear was unavailable.... > And please: tell me she hasn't really written a novel - > strike that: hasn't really had a novel published under > her name... It's semi-autobiographical. Bea Arthur describing the book's basic plot and then reading from it was actually genuinely funny.
