In The Land of Seagulls and Gingham
By Lewis Black
From his book, Me Of Little Faith


I haven't had a lot of contact with the Mormon Church, or as they call themselves, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sure, I remember Donny and Marie from their seventies variety show. I knew one of them was a little bit country and the other one was a little bit rock and roll and together they were nothing less than horrifying as they created the musical equivalent...

Where do we begin? A year ago, these cops and lawyers, they wouldn't dare cross any of you. I mean, what happened? What, did your balls drop off? Huh?

Wait, wait, wait. Sorry. I watched TDK last night again. I'm getting close to have viewed it 100 times. And it's barely been out for a year. Anyway. Green Day.

I got there what I was thinking was plenty early to line up for GA. Yeah. Except there was already a line halfway down the block. And then the batteries...

Put your iPod on shuffle, note down the first 25 songs that come up and write a brief thingy about them. Easy. Album is in brackets. Let's go...

1. One - Johnny Cash (American III: Solitary Man)
   Well, I got sick of U2 version right quick, but his version is amazing. Doesn't have the added bonus of Adam Clayton in drag, but you can't have everything.
   
2. We're Not Gonna Take It - The Who (Tommy)
   Ah, the closing song to the Tommy rock opera. The riot. Fun stuff. I've

I'm just going to ramble, because I spent way too much time today watching Adam's ridiculous videos on u2.com. BTW, Edge has Adam's video camera. This tells me that the album will NEVER be finished. Cause they're never going to get that gadget out of his hands ever again. *sigh*

That was not green tea, that was bong water he'd just strained, LOL.

The clip of Adam stalking Dallas was musically amazing. If there's a God in heaven, they'll keep that an instrumental,...

And since I'm so young to be getting these and I get them so often I have to now go see a urologist regularly to make sure I don't go into kidney failure. And staying pregnant would've definitely made that happen. I would've gone on the transplant list and had to have dialysis till...
