Because the "T'" in HTML stands for "tedium,"
this page is updated rather
fitfully. Rome wasn't burnt in a day, don'cha'
kno' now, bay-bee.
LOVE THOSE BOBS!
My two biggest living influences as a lyricist are
Bob Dylan and Robert Plant (RIP "Bill Lee").
What? You don't see the connection between the Zimmer
and the Zepper?
Didn't they both do a cover of "In My Time Of Dying?"
I can't be the only person alive who
bought Time Out Of Mind
and Led Zeppelin: The BBC Sessions on the
very same day.
Anyway. . .For those of you who are fans of either
or both, check out:
-
COLUMBIA RECORDS'
DYLAN SITE
-
A Bob-o-phile's dream. Archives, lyrics, and video,
including the exquisite video for "Not Dark Yet."
-
TIGHT
BUT LOOSE
-
A witty, well-written page from England, full of
Plantations past and present.
-
KASHMIR:
SYMPHONIC LED ZEPPELIN
-
This album was scored and produced by Jaz Coleman,
who clearly understands that a symphonic
-
interpretation of a band's oevure need not
sound like muzak. Imagine Holst and Saint-Säens on
-
Sunset Boulevard. This site is devoted largely to
the artwork, so even if you're not a Zep Head,
-
it's still a feast for the eyes.
FRUITY, FLAKY GOODNESS IN
EVERY BITE!
-
POP TARTS
-
White-trash pastry of the gods. Filling, tasty and
only 200 calories and 5 grams of fat per tart.
-
Check out the interactive game show goodness! Mmm
. . . Shockwave!
-
STRAWBERRY
POP-TART BLOW TORCHES!
-
Dear God! How can something so sweet'n'tasty become
so dreadfully lethal? See a pop-tart explode!
IT'S BETTER WITH BUTTER! IT'S BETTER WITH BUTTER!
-
BUTTER IS BEST!
-
Remember when you were a kid, and you went out to eat with your parents,
and they told you
-
not to "fill up on bread?" And remember what those little golden packets of
dairy goodness said?
-
Find out from Land O'Lakes and Friends why it's true!
THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE
. . .
-
ELIGHT
-
Coming out is a bitch,especially when you're
a teenager. This really is a most empowering site,
-
full of gay kids' heartfelt spew. Oh, I forgot . . . it's a "choice." Like kids would really choose
-
to have adolescence hurt even more.
-
BEAUTIFUL
BOY
-
Then again, who sez you have to even hurt at all?
Here's a really snappy site, full of queer-boy attitude
-
and too-cool graphics, for teens and like-minded young
dudes in their twenties, and thirties too.
-
This is not a cruising site, BTW.
If that's your deal, then you've wandered into The Hänser Show
-
by mistake. I ain't Colonel Sanders.
-
CHILDREN
OF THE NIGHT
-
An LA-based organization, dedicated to rescuing teenagers
-- girls and boys -- from the jackals
-
of the street, and lives of prostitution and pornography. Another most empowering site,
-
and one most deserving of contributions, if you're so inclinded -- as you should be.
PARADISE FOUND
-
ARGENTINA
-
The Pampas and the Rio de la Plata and (dare I say)
the Peròns have called out my name since
-
high school. Why? Well, why the hell not? Let Lonely
Planet take you there.
-
VARIG BRAZILIAN AIRLINES
-
Or you could let Varig fly you there, or to Brazil,
for that matter. Y'know, they grow an awful lot
-
of coffee in Brazil. At least that's what Sinatra told us. I wonder if he'd like this site as much as I do.
PARADISE LOST
-
THE KINGDOM
OF HAWAI'I
-
Was the annexation of Hawai'i by the USA in 1898
really any different than the USSR's annexation
-
of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in 1940? Or China's
of Tibet in 1950? Decide for yourself.
-
A most provocative and disturbing web site.
-
THE TIBETAN GOVERNMENT-IN-EXILE
-
Speaking of which . . . visit the Land of Snows itself,
via this artful and official web site
-
dedicated to the preservation and eventual restoration
of the Tibetan nation.
TAKE BACK THE NIGHT THEY MURDERED ART
-
FRIENDS OF DRESDEN
-
Churchill and Roosevelt saved Western civilization. Unfortunately,
instead of bombing the rail lines to
-
Auschwitz, they chose to fire-bomb one of the most beautiful cities on the planet near the war's end,
- killing 135,000 people, the Hänsers amongst them.
-
You can help to restore the Frauenkirche to its former baroque splendor, and give Dresden back the
-
skyline that captivated artists for centuries. You can also help to rebuild the Synagogue, destroyed
-
by the Nazis on Kristallnacht, and give Dresden's growing Jewish community a needed new home.
-
Because my ancestors were both Christian and Jewish, these are projects close to my heart.
