I saw this 1966 British comedy when I was a freshman in college and thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. Thirty years or so later, I saw it again (on VHS?–I can't remember) and was a little disappointed. It didn't seem as funny as I remembered. Recently, now forty-five years on, on…

The time will come when you will encounter, more or less unexpectedly, the shock of hearing our doctrines contradicted. Even if the shock is not violent, you will, nevertheless, be aware of the intellectual atmosphere of our times, and perhaps unconsciously you will breath in the air that surrounds young men of the present day,…

Weekend Music Last week's bit of Asleep at the Wheel made me want to hear more. Here's a nice bit from a live show. This is not the same lineup I saw, at least in that the steel guitar player was a blonde woman (who seemed to be having a great time). I think the…

Weekend Music I was having trouble finding what I wanted on YouTube (maybe next week) and this appeared in the sidebar. I like it better than what I was looking for. The Wheel, as their fans call them, as you may or may not know, are a Western swing (sort of country-jazz hybrid) group…

Last word from me, I mean. I could go on and on about this, and it's mainly the fact that there aren't that many people who read this blog, and of those the majority probably more or less agree with me, that holds me back. So I'll get this off my chest and move on…
