Lights Out


Thoughts on a Friday.
Whipping out the crayons to write down my thoughts.
These'll be random.

* I dont' know why, but I always think of edible underwear as being made of strawberry Fruit Roll-ups. I have never actually SEEN a pair of them, in the....flesh, but I always imagine them like that.
* "Naima" by Coltrane is almost exactly the same as the first song in opening scene of Taxi Driver. Coincidence? Orchestral plagarism?

* This week Rufus Wainwright (and friends, including Joan Wasser and Beth Orton) wowed Drew and I at one of the best venues I have ever been in- the Angel Orensanz Foundation, which is a gothic, ornate, dark old church on the LowerEastSide.
He wore an ascot.
There were literally about a thousand tealight candles and it was ethereal and beautiful.
We both laughed at our VIP passes and wondered if churches have a "backstage" or thats sacrilege to even think about.
He played "In a Graveyard" which is one of my favorite songs ever ( I directly associate it with the image posted here).
I love cemetaries.
It was for a good cause, the BlackoutSabbath,
an energy conservation initiative conjured by Rufus himself that proposes a 12-hour blackout on June 21. He made the point that during the last blackout there were probably more people making love in the city than any other day, and thinking about that...is nice.
