Enough About Human Rights!

Moondog's Viking of Sixth Avenue is just brilliant.  His musical aesthetic stands alone in Earth's aural universe.

I'm forever in Jon's debt for introducing me to Moondog some years ago.  He gave me the Viking of Sixth Avenue CD a few year's ago and now I own the double LP.  All is well...

All That Heaven Allows

"...I certainly believe that happiness exists, if only by the simple fact that it can be destroyed."  -- Douglas Sirk


Just watched another excellent Sirk, American Melodrama, All That Heaven Allows - Criterion Collection.  

Poignant scene in which children purchase a TV for their widowed mother after squelching her happiness with another man.  This is not Sirk's best film, but highly recommended for people familiar with his works.
