Beginnings
-
I remember the first night I heard "Mama" all the way through on the radio, in a friend's basement, with the bass all the way up. And I remember when I I realized that the shrieking anthem "And the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" was the same band that scored teen flicks.
Light Falls The Same

True enough. One might just as well argue against the demolition of the hotel lobbies and diners he immortalized.
White Box With White String
-
In Richmond, it was all about Sally Belle. I always went for the caramel one in the box first. WOW that was good. And the chocolate one, and the vanilla ones, and somebody had to eat the strawberry one.

Very little has ever tasted so good.

“We are two different nations, an artificial state created as a buffer between big powers, and we have nothing in common except a king, chocolate and beer,” said Filip Dewinter, the leader of Vlaams Belang, or Flemish Bloc, the extreme-right, xenophobic Flemish party, in an interview. “It’s ‘bye-bye, Belgium’ time.”
Utopia

Recommended by a professional acquaintance as a place to visit if I get to go to Arizona next fall.
