I have to agree with Jack. I have heard amazing jazz renditions of Time After Time. It's a really great song. (Tuck & Patti's acoustic version is my favorite vocal performance of the song.)

"I Shall Always Love You" should be eliminated. That song was originally recorded in 1975 by Dolly Parton. Did no one see The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas?

There's nothing worth seeing in the Haight, and I lived there.

Amoeba Records is always worth a visit.

Consider a career change?

Well, I can only think of three jobs for which a shallow, lying whore is truly qualified. Since I already am a lawyer, I either have to be a reality TV contestant, or ...

If you had your hair done up in a nice bob, I would have my company consider you for a position as an altar boy.

I know that my music geek credentials might get revoked for saying this, but I don't like Amoeba Records. In the abstract, I'm in favor of large independent record stores, but when I lived in San Francisco, I rarely bought anything from Amoeba.

If I'm going to shell out money for an album, I'd better like more than one song on it. Amoeba in SF didn't have any listening stations when I lived in San Francisco. Tower and Virgin Megastore did. I don't collect vinyl, so I don't need the import-only, colored vinyl 12" from Paul's Boutique. If I lived in SF now, I'd probably go to the Rasputin's. Better prices, same pale girls with blue/green/purple hair at the counter.

Living on the Westside, it's a pain to get to the Amoeba in Hollywood, you have to pay for parking, they don't take the KCRW member card for a discount on CD's. so I either order off of Amazon or go to Tower or Virgin. Music is too expensive, and I haven't gotten my CD settlement check yet.

you have to pay for parking at the Hollywood Amoeba? I always parked in that free lot next to the store. of course you have to go in the morning to get a space. those music geeks are early risers when it comes to getting their vinyl.

I DID, I DID. There is no movie involving whorehouses that I haven't seen. I was sad to learn that this one wasn't a porno---talk about a misleading title. I agree that Dolly sounded good singing it, but whitney does it better. Maybe it's because I don't like country. But I did give her extra points for having huge TITS!

HA! That was the TITS. That one never gets old....Never! TITS!

Hope she works it out--

My lord, that shit is disgusting. Some of it looks like shitty Pollock imitations, I saw a Rothko on crack and even a couple of revolting imitation Hoffmans--sacrilegious bitch. I think that after kindergarten popsicle sticks are no longer considered art.

Just not for me.

Be not afraid of [fame]. Some are born [famous], some achieve [fame] and others have [fame] thrust upon them.

None is necessary, really. Remember Stacey Stillman.

June 10 — Will Madonna fall into the Gap? Lest it be said that the cutting-edge fashionista is no longer a force in the world of clothes, Madonna is close to signing a deal to do television commercials for the Gap, her spokeswoman tells The Scoop.
THE MATERIAL GIRL — who was once known for her Gautier pointed bras — will appear wearing corduroy jeans alongside rapper Missy Elliott.
She’s already scheduled to shoot the ads in Los Angeles later this month, though her spokeswoman says that there are some last-minute details to work out before the contract is signed.
“We’re moving forward on it,” says Madonna’s rep, Liz Rosenberg, “but it’s not a done deal.”
Madonna's long fall from the top

So it's come to this? Doesn't she have enough money? Why is she doing this? Does she even know where the Gap is?

Apparently, Madonna told her agent, "This Gap guy is hot. I gotta get into him. Make it happen." Sadly, her agent is not too well read or Internet-savvy, and regrettable mistakes followed.

Best parody of Madonna's "Sex": SNL, Phil Hartman dead-on as aging Charlton Heston at a "Books on Tape" recording session and intoning, "I like my vagina...".

Not an example I wish to follow, for purely personal reasons that reflect only my opinion. Despite eating a grub or something similarly disgusting, for which she deserved at least some appreciation, she was, allegedly, not terribly popular with all of her teammates, got (perhaps unfairly)booted from the island, sued CBS, allegedly left her firm by mutual consent because when she got back from Survivor, she allegedly wasn't very focused on her work (who can blame her?), and after all that, is still a lawyer at a firm.

No thanks, by which I mean, going back to work at a firm after spending any amount of time with a scantily clad Richard Hatch under any circumstances is, for me, for my own personal reasons, a recipe for a post-traumatic-stress-disorder meltdown, and given that my constitution is undoubtedly not as strong as Ms. Stillman's, that's a risk I would not want to take.

Edited to hedge because I am also a lawyer and some people, not necessarily those named in this post, are, allegedly, litigious.
