LYRICS:
Your eyes looked so tired
That’s what I thought first
You were greatly admired
But you were dying of thirst
There were comebacks
Felt like thumbtacks
On your fingertips so fine
You belonged to the many
Never yours never mine
Weren’t we lonely
Weren’t we sad
Weren’t we beautiful
Weren’t we bad
Funny man
Turn and ran
In the sun
Golden one
Funny man
I’m your fan
When you died
Oh how we cried
I was just a kid
You were just a king
Everything you did
A prayer and a wing
You always got my name wrong
Apologies the same song
That you sang to me
Words that set me free
Weren’t we lonely
Weren’t we sad
Weren’t we beautiful
Weren’t we bad
Weren’t we lonely
Weren’t we sad
Weren’t we beautiful
Weren’t we bad
I can’t forgive you
I can’t relive you
I can’t revive you
But I survive you
Funny man
Turn and ran
In the sun
Golden one
Funny man
I’m your fan
When you died
Oh how we cried
Funny man
Morbid plan
Hearts you wrung
Gone and done
Funny man
How you ran
Always mine
Never die
Funny man
We all do the best that we can
Funny man
We all do the best that we can
Margaret previously announced she will release a brand new album via her Clownery Records label on February 14, 2025 with the first single and title track, “Lucky Gift” HERE out now. The full album of Lucky Gift is also available to pre-order HERE
On “Lucky Gift,” (which was written by Margaret and produced by Garrison Starr here ) Margaret sings in a sultry-pop tone while playing her double neck mandolin-guitar, “The Mandotar.” “This is my power pop anthem and the first song I wrote on my mandotar. It is definitely giving gay pop in the best way and it’s my favorite song I’ve ever written.” states Margaret.
Click here to view the “Lucky Gift” lyric video!!!
It’s been 8 years since Margaret released her 2016 Grammy nominated American Myth album HERE
which featured the standout track “Anna Nicole” here written about her friendship with Anna Nicole-Smith.
Margaret says of the forthcoming Lucky Gift album – “I am thrilled to share this album which has been many years in the making. There’s tributes to Robin Williams, lost love, found love and anthems to non- binary and gender non-conforming folx. I collaborated with Garrison Starr and Roger Rocha in different cities at different times but it all feels like it comes from the same place and the same heart.”

Michael's Musings

| Michael Shinafelt |
I suppose one could qualify the above quote straight outta Dorothy Parker as a "Current Mood" type of thing given the climate. Hey, one always has to be ready for a take down these days and honestly it's not that hard to do given the mindset of most people.
Yeah, I was born ready baby! Hi ho, hi ho, it's time for the more one knows...
Please do not feed the pigs, that's all
These days I watch serial killer documentaries to relax, discuss
Why is gay bashing considered free speech but saying Happy Holidays is religious persecution?!
Plant City here I come!!!
Did you ever think you'd see the day when eggs were like contraband
Cardi B got her butt crack pierced, and aren't you happy???
How can you defund cancer research and claim you are pro life
Pee Wee Herman comes out posthumously in his documentary. Uh, I never thought he was in.
Woman Crush of the Week - Reese Witherspoon as Bradley Jackson on The Morning Show.
Her portrayal of this multi faceted character is pitch perfect!
Josh Lucas is so hot on Palm Royale!!!
Have you seen the commercial Cher did for Uber Eats? Epic!
It's Thursday, or as I refer to it Law & Order: SVU day, so there!
So if my friends lose rights and you are okay with that or celebrate it, get the F#ck out of my life!!!
Now for some peace of mind, "Yes" I mean yoga at the cemetery
Hang with me here -

Hump Day & Chill
After a long year let's Hump Day & Chill to some pussy, as in Catherine Deneuve with her cat that is (I know what you were thinking...)
Some of you out there are cool, but no one will ever be Catherine Deneuve cool.
While I am a admirer of her work my most favorite film she did was Luis Bunuel's Belle de Jour. Where she played a bored housewife who turns tricks at a local brothel during the day.
Actually I can not in good conscience fail to mention my other favorite film she has done. She was cast to perfection as Miriam Blaylock in The Hunger. Where she was so chic, and "yes" cool as as a centuries old vampire.
See I told you none of you could ever be Catherine Deneuve cool...
Hump Day & Chill!

And The Oscar Goes To...
Congratulations to first time Oscar Nominee Demi Moore for The Substance.
The Substance is my favorite film of 2024! Demi Moore's performance was also my favorite of this past year. So glad she, the film, director and screenplay received Oscar nominations.
With nominations in the other three key categories I'm predicting it's going to be Demi for the win!

Alice, Sweet Alice
On February 11, Arrow Video takes you to church with the cult classic Alice Sweet, Alice, which receives its global premiere on 4K UHD. Director Alfred Sole (Pandemonium) tapped a then-unknown Brooke Shields for her film debut in this bloody tale of religion and a dysfunctional family. The Limited Edition release features a brand new 4K restoration from the original camera negative in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) and hours of special features.
The two Spages sisters are not getting along after their parents split. Karen (Brooke Shields, Pretty Baby) is the sweet younger sister who is always obedient for her recently divorced mother (Linda Miller, One Summer Love), and older sister Alice (Paula Sheppard, Liquid Sky) is not coping well in the aftermath of the divorce. She acts out by tormenting her younger sister, and scares Karen by wearing a yellow raincoat and a creepy translucent mask. The mother takes comfort in the nearby Catholic church and the guidance of Father Tom (Rudoph Willrich, 9 ½ Weeks). Right before Karen’s First Communion ceremony at the Catholic Church, something terrible happens. The suspect appears to be Alice in her raincoat and mask. Could she have done something this drastic to ruin her sister’s special day?
The special features include presentations of three versions via seamless branching: Communion (original), Alice, Sweet Alice (theatrical) and Holy Terror (re-release); a new audio commentary with Richard Harland Smith; a vintage audio commentary with co-writer/director Alfred Sole and editor M. Edward Salier; video interviews with Alfred Sole, composer Stephen Lawrence and actor Niles McMaster; a tour of the locations from the movie; deleted scenes; an image gallery; a reversible sleeve; an illustrated collector’s booklet; a TV spot; and trailer.
