Bowie & Eno!
Did a search on youtube and got this snippet of a performance from 1978...if you blink you will miss Eno. Or Bowie for that matter. Don't know who the guy with glasses is that they show the most of. Not much is brought up doing an Eno search. did a search on Roxy Music and found mostly things we already have, but I'll have to check through them again later when I have time. A Pink Floyd search brings up a lot, but a lot of awful fanmade masturbatory stuff ("here's a video of me tying my shoes with Pink Floyd in the background" "here's a video of me covering 'Money'" on my guitar) you have to sort through, but that's fairly easy to do.

Stan, Set the Controls...
...for the Heart of the Sun. From the same tv performance as Flaming. Still audio vs. video is unsynched, but cool nonetheless! I love these old vids!

More Old Pink
Stan, here's a better version of "Flaming" (from 1968). Our version on vhs is b&w and crap and won't play all the way through. At least this one is in color, and although it still has some digital glitches and the audio isn't synced with the video, it's much better. Too bad I can't figure out how to compile these.

Madison County
We lost two members of our cactus family Friday, two that we're really going to miss. We got them at a greenhouse in Janesville several years ago that is no longer in business. I told Stan we should go to Janesville anyway to look at some other greenhouses as well as stop by the Edgerton greenhouse. Amazingly, Stan found the same species of cactus at the Edgerton greenhouse yesterday. He still can't get over that I was so psychic about that. I've done that before with cactii...one dies, I say, "we should go take a look here" and whaddya know, the same species is there. We also decided next weekend we'll go to Adel, Iowa to take a look a Harvey's Greenhouse, where I am pretty sure I've seen the same kind of cactus at the various times we've been there. Harvey's has become a mandatory stop on our way home from Colorado these past few years. It's like a dreamgreenhouse. They have lots of greenhouses, greenhouses for bedding plants, greenhouses for succulents, greenhouses for this and that. Sometimes when it's warm, the succuIent greenhouse, full of furry Stapeliad flowers, stinks like old socks and death. It takes some getting used to, after all, it's not *really* unwashed socks and dead bodies, it's really a floral scent, albeit a stinky floral scent. It's sort of amusing when you're travelling with the carrion flowers tucked away in the back of the van and you take a turn and the wafting scent catches up with you in front. Stan and I will look at eachother with strange expressions, and then smile when we remember it's just the Stapeliads. Adel is a day's drive from Madison. And speaking of Madison, if you take the road south from Adel across the interstate, you'll end up in Madison County, Iowa, the place made famous by the book and movie, "The Bridges of Madison County" (which I have never seen despite it starring Clint Eastwood). We've been there before, once in 2001 when we were headed to Kansas City to meet Stan's half-sister. It was still tornado season, and we decided to take a side trip off the interstate. For the ironic heck of it, we took the road that said "to John Wayne's birthplace." I really can't stand John Wayne, but he's this odd motif in our life. We got married in front of a statue at him in the judge's chambers. Somewhere in stacks of pictures I never sort out is a photo of me standing in front of John Wayne's birthplace in 2001. And probably in some other stacks of photos somewhere else is a picture of me and Stan in front of a bust of John Wayne in 1988. Weird.
