Not me... on my dad's side the families were 2 or 3 kids for a few generations back. Mom had 4 siblings, which was a small family by the standards of the time. The families used to be bigger because kids used to die young so much more often-- it's freaky how often you find out that people in their 80's lost siblings in childhood. No more kids for me.

Possibly, though Hillary (who I don't particularly like) isn't the cheerleader for Bush that Lieberman is (then again, just about no one of the GOP side is as enthusiastic about Bush's abandonment of the War on Terror as Joe is either). Shit, Hillary even seems to understand she is part of the opposition party, at least sometimes. > I am proud of my Senator Carl Levin being > against Iraq War from the get go, however he has one > of the worse comb-overs of all time!

Yep on both counts. There's a shmaltzy '80s hit ballad that steals a melodic line directly from I think it's "Here There & Everywhere" by them Buutles - can't think of the title. And there were 379 hits in the wake of the Doobie Brothers' "What a Fool Believes" that stole that keyboard riff and rhythm pretty much wholesale. (Does Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" count?) Of course, sometimes there's direct acknowledgement of the lift - as with Neil Young's "Borrowed Tune" ("Lady Jane" by the Stolen Bones) or, less well-known, Oranger's "Sorry Paul" (love the title...) whose main verse melody is the "ooh-ooh-ooh" bit from McCartney's "Every Night." And speaking of - had I mentioned that some musicologist claims to have discovered which song McCartney was thinking of when he worried that he actually hadn't written "Yesterday" but borrowed it? Ray Charles' arrangement of "Georgia On My Mind": chord sequence and feel are pretty close! - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 13:53:38 -0500 From: "Brian Nupp" Subject: RE: reap, once and for all >>Showtime and Mitch Hurwitz were unable to reach an >>agreement; Arrested Development will not be unreaped. >> >> Subject: reap WASHINGTON -- Caspar Weinberger, who played key roles in the shaping of the so-called Star Wars missile defense program and the Iran-Contra affair during the Reagan administration, has died.

Pickup follows earlier renewals for "American Idol," "Bones," "The Simpsons," "King of the Hill" and "Family Guy." In its two Monday 8 p.m. airings, "Prison Break" has increased Fox's season-to-date ratings in the slot 57% among adults 18-49, averaging a 4.4/12. Skein's perf is even more boffo among adults 18-34, improving Fox's numbers by 81%.

He was 71. Landy died March 22 in Honolulu of respiratory complications of lung cancer, said William Flaxman, a longtime colleague. A pioneer of what he called "24-hour therapy," Landy was known for a show-business clientele that at one time included rocker Alice Cooper and actors Richard Harris and Rod Steiger. He earned notoriety in the late 1970s after he began treating Wilson, the songwriting genius behind the iconic California band, whose career had disintegrated in a haze of drugs and phobias after a decade at the top of the musical charts. Hired in 1975 by Wilson's wife, Landy took control of the rock star's life, monitoring him 24 hours a day with a team of assistants to keep him off drugs and junk food; Wilson's weight by then had ballooned to more than 300 pounds. Landy grew so close to Wilson that he participated in Wilson's comeback as his manager and artistic collaborator - an ethical breach that eventually caused the psychologist to give up his license to practice in California. Born in Pittsburgh, Landy was the only child of Jules, a physician, and Frieda, a psychology professor. He claimed to have dropped out of school after the sixth grade because of severe dyslexia and worked odd jobs, eventually winding up in radio as producer of a program aimed at teenagers. He later became a record promoter. He moved to Los Angeles in the early 1960s and shifted career goals. He studied chemistry at Los Angeles City College before earning a bachelor's degree in psychology at Cal State L.A. in 1964. By 1968 he had a master's degree and a doctorate in psychology from the University of Oklahoma. He did postdoctoral work in marathon group therapy in Rancho Santa Fe with the movement's co-founder, psychologist Frederick Stoller. Stoller's brand of group psychotherapy lasting a day or more inspired Landy's "24-hour therapy," developed at Gateways Hospital and Mental Health Center in Echo Park, where he ran a program for teenage drug abusers. By the time he met Wilson, he had a Beverly Hills clinic and a celebrity clientele. Dr. Solon D. Samuels, a former director of Gateways, told The Times in 1988 that Landy was a maverick who did "things that no other psychologist has done in treating the psychotic and the drug addict." Wilson seemed to fit the clinical profile to a distressing degree. He rarely got out of bed or talked to anyone. He went weeks without brushing his teeth or taking a shower, believing that "blood would gush out of the sink faucet and snakes would spring out of the shower head," he wrote in his 1991 memoir "Wouldn't It Be Nice." His mind was so wasted on drugs - including cocaine, LSD and heroin - - that he even tried to give them to his two young daughters. Landy insisted that he have total control of Wilson and his environment. He also was adamant that Wilson had to request treatment himself. According to Wilson's autobiography, the musician caved in after a two-month campaign - orchestrated by Landy - in which his then-wife, Marilyn, and eventually many of his close friends, pretended to be in therapy with the psychologist and told Wilson how much they enjoyed it. His first session with Landy took place in Wilson's bedroom closet, the only place Wilson said he felt safe. Landy gradually gained his trust and helped him regain enough physical and mental health that the pop idol performed at the Beach Boys' 15th anniversary concert Dec. 31, 1976. Landy, however, had been fired earlier that month by Beach Boys manager Steve Love, largely in a dispute over fees. He was rehired six years later, after Wilson had regressed again into drugs and obesity. The 24-hour therapy was resumed from 1983 to 1986. During that time, Landy said, he was paid $35,000 a month. In 1987, Landy entered a business and creative partnership with Wilson called Brains and Genius to share profits from such ventures as recordings, films, soundtracks and books. In 1988, Wilson released his first solo album, called simply "Brian Wilson." Its success was tinged by controversy over Landy, however, who that year became the subject of an investigation by the California Board of Medical Quality Assurance. The state board accused Landy of "grossly negligent conduct," including the sexual abuse of a female patient. Most of the accusations concerned his relationship with Wilson, alleging that his multiple business entanglements had caused the singer "severe emotional damage, psychological dependence and financial exploitation." Landy was listed as executive producer of Wilson's solo album and was credited as a co-writer of several tracks. One of the sources in the state's investigation was songwriter Gary Usher, who worked with Landy and Wilson for 10 months on the album and described Wilson as a virtual captive, manipulated by a man who frightened and intimidated him. Landy denied the charges. Wilson issued a statement defending Landy, attributing his new solo career to his successful treatment. "Dr. Landy saved my life," he said. In 1989, however, Landy admitted to a single charge of unlawfully prescribing drugs and surrendered his license to practice psychology in the state for at least two years. Landy continued to work with Wilson on his music, and he contributed to a 1991 album called "Sweet Insanity." Although they had formally ended their therapeutic relationship, they remained so close that Wilson's family brought legal action in 1991 to appoint an independent conservator in an effort to stop Landy from unduly influencing him in personal and financial matters. The action was dropped when Landy agreed to stop seeing or talking to Wilson for 90 days. In his book, Wilson suggested that they both understood the split to be permanent. Landy eventually moved to Hawaii. The book was discredited by many close to Wilson who thought its content had been guided by Landy; he shared in the book's profits. Wilson had dedicated the memoir to his former psychologist, writing: "without you there'd be no music." ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V15 #70 *******************************
