Life Is A Mystery

David Lynch & Laura Dern

 "In a darkness, And the mysteries, Of love, Come clear" - Mysteries Of Love, Julee Cruise

Laura Dern dropped out of college because UCLA would not allow her to take a leave of absence to film "Blue Velvet." She gave David Lynch's script to the head of the film department in order to convince him, but he fired back at her: “First of all, if you make this choice, you are no longer welcome at UCLA. You’ll be out. But secondly, having read this script, that you would give up your college education for this is insane.” Dern says that "today, if you want to get a masters in film at that school, when you write a thesis there are three movies you are required to study. And you know what one of them is? Pisses me off."

"Easy Listening"

Sandra Bernhard

New York - Performer, actress, compelling storyteller Sandra Bernhard is back on the road in 2024 with her "Easy Listening" live extravaganza.  

Ride along with Sandy as she takes you on a tour of her musical influences. From the first time she heard the Supremes on AM radio on a snowy night in Flint, Michigan, to her first concert, Simon and Garfunkel… these are the songs you love and remember. The strumming guitars, the singalongs… from Peter Paul & Mary to the Stones – with Slaughter On Tenth Avenue playing on the Fisher HiFi (“Absolutely no one can touch this, do you hear me!” screamed her father) – as Ravel & Debussy drifted up from the basement where her mother just wanted to take a small break. The sounds of home that we all remember… jazz from your brother’s bedroom, your sister shouting along to Janis as she plotted her escape. The cross-country move to Arizona opened new musical vistas, as the ‘60s gave way to the ‘70s and the women of the era acted as our spiritual guides… Tina, Joni, Dusty, Aretha, Laura, Carole… Climb into the Pontiac station wagon and get ready to hit the road.

 

"The holiday vibes floating in the desert, Christmas carols hanging on a Saguaro. We’ll be bringing you old memories and new, just the way you like it:  groovy, cool and cozy." says Sandra

 

Be it on-screen (“American Horror Story,” “POSE” - HERE), radio (Sandyland on Sirius XM’s Radio Andy Channel 102) or on stages across the globe, Sandra Bernhard has been one of the most exhilarating performers for the past five decades.  

A pioneer of the one-woman show, Sandra’s trailblazing style has won her a loyal following and critical praise as she continues to tackle difficult subjects head on with sincerity and her whip smart insight. 


"Bernhard teaches the children – all those burgeoning spoken-word artists and monologists how to perform observational comedy with style, and right on the political edge."  - The New Yorker

Michael's Musings

The Ministry Of Love
Michael Shinafelt

Well this past week has been quite the interesting one, no? With Joe Biden exiting the Presidential Race and Kamala Harris now the Democratic Nominee for the position. 

There's an electricity in the air that has accompanyed this Historic moment. Me? I'll mind my own business with what I'm doing and that's all you need to know...love for sale!

Every time we leave our homes we should get a participation trophy

We don't have more patience when we get older. We just don't give a f#ck about pointless drama anymore

Went and saw Lonlegs this past weekend, really creepy horror flick that gets under your skin

God gave you free will so that you have the choice to worship him or go to Hell

Just wait until Beyonce and Taylor Swift endorse Kamala Harris, you'll find out

FYI I call my toilet the situation room, the more you know...

It will be just like in the movies

The trailer for Joker: Folie a Deux looks amazing!!!


Woman Crush of the Week - Halle Berry posing topless with cats to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her notorious flop Catwoman!

98 days until Halloween, the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, Woot! 

I'm sure I'll be the odd man out this weekend since I will not be seeing, nor do I have the desire to see the Deadpool & Wolverine movie

Lynda Carter truly is Wonder Woman

Reminder: Find your joy! It can be done!

Now where did I put my Joy Toy???

Help me find it here -
