Login HereYou know, Sarah McLachlan doesn't get nearly enough props. She is so clear, all bell-like, pure like ice cold water. She's, like, the Queen of Mentholated.
I kind of forget that she's there, but then you mention her music to some people and they get that look in their eyes that says, "Sarah McLachlan's voice has been with me through so many long lonely nights that I will beat your ass to a bloody pulp if you say anything bad about her."
Just like people make love listening to Sade, people seem to want to listen to Sarah when they cry.

Thanks so much for the last thread TRex.

A giant thicket of emails just crashed into my Inbox. I am going to have to hack through them all later. I need to eat and veg out. Been a long, satisfying day.
Wow TRex. Epic Late Nite.
And until you are in the arena and hear Sarah hit these notes, you have no idea.
Debbie(aussie) @ 8
You’re welcome, you’re all welcome. It was just as much fun for me.
burnspbesq @ 7
Is the new Melissa Etheridge any good? And I had no idea Herbie Hancock had a new disc dropping at all! Sweet!
Two of those I’ve seen on TV in recent days, Steve Earle and Will.I.Am. I’ve always been an Earle fan but was duly impressed by Will.I.Am as well. I have varied taste :)
I wish that I had been able to get into that conversation, but I’ve really enjoyed going back and reading it. I’m just popping my head in quickly. I haven’t been getting enough sleep lately!
Liss @ 13
Good to see you Liss. Hope all is well.
Keep those dialing fingers in shape, ladies and gentlemen.
SCHIP re-authorization passed the House with only 265 votes. We need to find 25 more to override the veto. Even if we get all of the 11 who didn’t vote today, that still means that 14 minds would have to be changed.
So, did y’all enjoy the snack? Sorry if it interrupted the flow of the guest’s conversation.
TRex!
finifinito @ 12
Will.I.Am is waaaay out of my comfort zone; the last rap or hip-hop album I bought was “Straight Outta Compton.” But the 30 second samples sounded good. I may end up going back for that one.
Oh, and I forgot one other notable new release out today: Pat Metheny.
TexBetsy,
Those are the finest looking S’mores I have ever seen.
Now for a real big dose of fear.
What WWIII might look like.

You?
Tonight the series “The War” showed the battle my father fought on Tarawa. He would not talk about his experiences until I was say into my 20’s where he gave me Leon Uris book “Battle Cry” who was stationed in a battalion across the road from my fathers unit.
It is interesting and heart wrenching to see the actual battle my father received his WWII wounds that he deals with to today.
TexBetsy @ 14
Yep! Slowly getting better every day.
Hope all is well with y’all.
TexBetsy @ 16
TB, I’m not one to complain about an offering of free smores and God bless for you that, but that honestly is the most offensive picture of smores I have ever seen. This is more like the ones I make.
Well, friends, I’m saying nite nite. And, y’all were so well behaved and polite and stuff. Almost didn’t recognize the crowd.
tee hee.
TRex, thankyou for the last thread - for arranging it and hosting it.
kudos dood.
finifinito @ 23
Yes, but mine started with graham crackers.
BigMitch @ 20
Did you see the ninth inning of the Mets game? I couldn’t decide whether to cry or puke.
sleep well demi
I want to say thank you to all the pups. Ya’ll were wonderful tonight, staying on topic on a Late Nite thread.
Ya made me proud of ya, every one of ya.
finifinito @ 12
Melissa Etheridge — is her daughter that very talented woman on Saturday Night Live. (Have you noticed, I am bad on names?)
Suzanne @ 29
Even Madame Snack who said good night to people. Sorry Suzanne.
TexBetsy @ 28
Graham crackers!
You one smart pup!
nite.
TexBetsy @ 26
OK I will give you that point. And they are kinda cute. But they need to be a big gooey mess like the ones I found.
As a tangent. . . (What else from me?)
My favorite souvenir from my quick trip to Yellowstone in August:

tex, you were not the first *cough ct cough*
burnspbesq @ 27
Missed it, but the Yankee game was harbreaking enough. The Yankees playoff spot remains in doubt another day.
Dear Mods: please forgive any sense of blogwhoring. This is link is offered in the spirit of the post given. I really just put this sentiument up mere minutes before this post of TRex’s.
I just think past the crying to FLYING:

Suzanne @ 29
Yup. Smart, well-informed, interested. Doubtless also handsome and dressed in their very best jammies and slippers.
burnspbesq @ 7
I bet ya didn’t even bat an eyelash…! Ooh, Herbie, that’s a blast from the past…!!! ;-)
Fern @ 38
Don’t wear slippers to bed. Otherwise, yes.
BigMitch @ 36
Mets were down seven going to the bottom of the ninth, and ended up leaving the tying run on third.
BigMitch @ 36
That solo jack in the tenth, was Navarro’s second HR in the game wasn’t it? *g*
finifinito @ 33
Smores were the best thing about going to summer camp - actually the only good thing about going to summer camp - but first you toast those marshmallows over the fire and then you assemble them with you chocolate and - yes - graham crackers. And they truly are a gooey mess.
Tonight I went to a meeting of a peace group I belong to. It is newly organized. I have been on the fence for some time about the effectiveness of it. They are a grassroots organization that is working for long term, lasting peace. I was originally concerned that joining a new group now was unrealistic and counterproductive. Tonight I suggested that we support the possible strike on election day written about in Harpers. The leader said that was too reactive and they didn’t believe it would be effective and, anyway, how who people get to the pols if the bus drivers were not working. Almost went running from the room pulling my hair out and screaming. I emailed my resignation in tonight.
Now I feel depressed. I am also reading “The Shock Doctrine” and feeling depressed about that. And I get depressed after giving talks about health care reform. Shouldn’t that make me feel productive? Or is it just one of those days?
Suzanne @ 35
Uhoh, what did I do this time, Mommy? ;-)
{{katymine]}
I’ve been really wishing I could have watched this series with my dad.
marymccurnin @ 44
Would a good night’s sleep or a weekend help?
Is that series The War online?
marymccurnin @ 44
Bless you for making the effort!
And now, the sleep calls. Night all.
Hey, Bungle O’Bill…Why do you shill, Bungle O’Bill?
;>)
TexBetsy @ 47
Gawd I hope so. Maybe Mr. Ron and I should go to the mountains tomorrow. We could take Wally The Best Dog Ever who turns into Wally The Mountain Goat when we get there.
One more thing,
You guys just crack the shit of of me.
The Very Minute our guest shut the door, I could see everyone: Food Fight.
The music got turned up (America, Fuck Yeah!) and the guys start talkin’ baseball crap.
I just Love. This. Place.
I do.
Liss @ 50
G’night Liss.
marymccurnin @ 51
Well you can always get depressed or give up on Thursday. Hang in there tonight and tomorrow.
Nite, Liss!
demi @ 52
That made me feel better.
Mommybrain!
You’re here.
I never got your e-mail. (crazy thing, I know)
Can you tell me where and when on Thursday night?
marymccurnin @ 46
See me at 37. Paying the price is worth it IMO.
demi @ 52
Ain’t it Grand?!!! *g*
demi @ 52
I like to think of myself as the loudest Firepup around these parts. So thanks!
Fern @ 43
No, the best thing about summer camp was pointing out a nice soft looking buncha 3 pointed green leafy vegitative shrub leaves to my little sister as a good place for her to put her sleeping bag to cushion the hard ground. She fell for it every time and i had the most innocent look when confronted by a parental unit because her being highly allergic to poison oak - was that what that was?
Mary,
I’m glad.
Home is where the heart is.
G’evening, FirePups. I lurked during the prev. post. Thank you, TRex for arranging and hosting Patrick Graham. And thank you, pups, for intelligent questions.
demi @ 57
It’s in Monrovia somewhere. Wish I could go, but I will be getting on a plane at LAX right around the time it’s getting cranked up.
demi - i keep getting my email to you thrown back, too. Four times so far. where art thou coming from?
finifinito @ 48
Sorry, fini! I could only find a link to purchase it from…!!!
CTuttle @ 66
Wanna buy it for me? J/k
demi @ 63
I need more dancing time!!!!!
Mommybrain @ 65
???
I get the ones I sent to Both you addys bounced back too.
But, I got the receipt from my contribution to BA. So, wtf?
Where in Monrovia? Or should I email BA tomorrow?
I wish I could watch The War with my dad - he was retired navy with service in ww2, korea and viet nam.
marymccurnin @ 68
Did you know I am a retired DJ? Tell me what you want to dance to and I’ll serve it up pronto!
My dad says he flew a typewriter in Korea.
oops
finifinito @ 12
I’m six tracks into the ME album, and it’s a BIG departure from her past work (quiet, contemplative, spare instrumentation), but I reallly like it so far.
Oops — track 7 is a little louder. And way out there lyrically. Could have been written by Brad Paisley.
I love Sarah!
finifinito @ 72
Benny Spellman. Irma Thomas. Ernie Kado
You gals keep talking about watching the War with your dads and now I’m starting to tear up.
(It’s been almost exactly two months.)
demi @ 78
((((((Demi))))))
and a kiss, too.
….and hold my hand?
Suzanne @ 61
That was truly nasty. No wonder my admiration for you just keeps growing.
demi @ 80
Yes indeedie.
Oh Demi, I am so sorry.
Do you know Monrovia at all? Take the 210 to Myrtle avenue (east or west, depending on where you start) go north on myrtle (toward mountains, under freeway across Huntington to Colorado. Turn right, park in the second lot on your right, turn left on the sidewalk to The Peach Cafe at 141 E. Colorado. 626-599-9092.
Maya Rudolph is the daughter of Minnie Ripperton. That’s what I was trying to think of, earlier.
Thanks, TB.
Everyone at church is still asking how I’m doing and how mom is holding and, well, telling me that you never really get all the way over it.
He loved me the bestest of anyone. Ever.
persiflage @ 80
I knew she had an evil streak in her…!!! ;-)
hey mitch - doncha just hate it when you know you know it and can’t think of it? drives me nuts
demi @ 85
Making me smile my friend.
CTuttle @ 87
you had doubts?
Thanks mommybrain.
Got it.
See ya there.
Two long days in a row. Sleep might be helpful. Night all.
Uh-oh. NPR is about to get the MoveOn treatment.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....id=artslot
Suzanne @ 89
You’ve dispelled ‘em…!!! :P
See you Thursday, demi.
Demi,
My dad died in 1972 of a WWII related injury. His funeral was on my 21st birthday. Nary a day passes when I don’t think about him. Wish he coulda knowed his grandson. He would have been so proud. Not to mention his grand-daughters.
marymccurnin @ 44
This whole revolution thing is like giving birth. It’s an emotional roller-coaster. You go from exhilerated to deflated, from elation to depression and then you realize the work of growing this hungry, squalling, pooping creature you love so much is just beginning. *sigh*
marymccurnin @ 76
I found some Irma Thomas, got any other artists?
burnspbesq @ 93
Doesn’t NPR know that what Georgie wants Georgie gets?
Yup. I bet you that!

NPR deserves to take a hit on this, but not from Faux.
