"Cheese is at once a testament to the Creator's ingenuity in providing enzymes and bacteria that will do fearful and wonderful things for milk and to man's audacity in the face of some pretty forbidding stuff. The blander varieties, of course, are hardly more alarming than milk itself; but the farther reaches of the subject put even brave men to the test. There are cow's-milk cheeses that will convince you that someone has dragged the whole barnyard indoors, and goat's milk cheeses which taste as if the goat sat in them . . . The first man is of the earth, earthy. If I had only a single temporal blessing to wish you, I would not hesitate a moment: May you be spared long enough to know at least one long evening of old friends, dark bread, good wine, and strong cheese. If even exile be so full, what must not our fullness be?" (Robert Farrar Capon, The Supper of the Lamb, p. 148).

Bob Dylan- Blind Willie McTell
One of my favorites from Dylan! The lyrics perfectly match the music and it's raised the hackles on my neck before.

The Band- I Shall Be Released
Richard Manuel 1943-1986
Richard Manuel may have been the most soulful singer in all of rock and roll. He's one of my favorite vocalists and knowing how tragic his life was only lends to the sadness of this tune.

Michael Jackson at 50
Computer experts tell us this is what Michael Jackson would've looked like at 50 without plastic surgery. The picture on the right is what Diana Ross would've looked like if she were a man.
