Got the MP3, Mike--thanks.  I think it's an MSN thing.  I'll try in IE or Mozilla later and see what happens.

Christmas with the Crickets inspired many comments at Ye Olde World of Wisdom yesterday...and I can only assume is happily playing away today as well.

I found out yesterday I was involved in a gift exchange I didn't know about, so I went out to buy a CD today....wasn't too bad.  Tomorrow and Sunday, I will be on the OTHER side of the sales counter.

I am really enjoying it!

Yes, indeed, and the sound mix is DOlby Prologic. It's not even a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix, but the sound is so robust that you'd never know it. I glaned at my receiver while it was running this morning, and I was astonished to see it was just Dolby Surround.

Both my packaging and the Amazon listing say Dolby Digital 5.1

Defense Attorney Says Prosecutors Have Dismissed Rape Charges Against 3 Duke Lacrosse Players
Friday , December 22, 2006
 
DURHAM, N.C. — Prosecutors dropped rape charges Friday against three Duke University lacrosse players accused of attacking a stripper at a team party, but the three still face kidnapping and sexual offense charges, a defense attorney said.

Joseph Cheshire and attorneys for the other players have said for months the woman told several different versions of the alleged assault.

Cheshire said Friday that the accuser now says she does not know if she was penetrated, which he said led District Attorney Mike Nifong to dismiss the rape charges.

As some know, I recorded Mr. Durang's Beyond Therapy.  I like him very much, but was a little disappointed in him when he wasn't supportive during the bad time with a certain record label.  There were still things that remained not quite finished in that recording, but the gentleman who engineered the takeover of the company released it the way it was - certainly quality never mattered to that gentleman - hence his hideous mixing of my Sherman Brothers CD, you know, where he left half the band tracks out of the mix so that one is left with about nine players and half-orchestrations.  BRILLIANT.

In any case, Mr. Durang was not supportive and that is all I need to say about Mr. Durang.

I'm a bit alarmed that for the second day someone has mentioned "too many connections" in the morning hours, but since I wasn't here and don't know how long it lasted, I can't write our host about it.

BK, I loved the BEYOND THERAPY CD--I played it incessantly when I first got it.  

Christopher Durang is one of my favorite playwrights.  I laughed myself silly just reading his last two published plays, MRS CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS FLING (directed last year by DR JRand) and MRS WHITHERSPOON.

HOLLYWOOD VS. AMERICA

Quote
Clint Eastwood as Tokyo Rose?

Clint Eastwood, formerly a Hollywood favorite among American patriots, is taking some heat for fictionalizing scenes in his latest movie "Letters From Iwo Jima" – scenes that made the Japanese soldiers look more humane than their American GI counterparts.

"The astonishing transformation of Clint Eastwood, from his 'Dirty Harry' days, cannot be more forcefully understood than by appreciating the level to which he has gone in order to appease the liberal gods of Hollywood," said Savage. "Tokyo Rose would be more of an American patriot than Clint Eastwood in his new propaganda flick. Almost all of the Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima were shown as courageous, long-suffering, loyal, kindly men dragged into the war against their wishes. Revisionist historians should watch this film simply to learn new techniques."

Savage zeroed in on one of two fictionalized scenes in the movie.

"In one astonishing scene, old Clint has the audacity to show besieged Japanese troops, treating an American prisoner with compassion, giving him their last morphine injections!" he said. "The reality, of course, of Japanese soldiers during World War II, was one of utmost brutality. I kept wanting to scream out, 'Remember the Bataan Death March!' or 'Why don’t you show flashbacks to human experiments on prisoners in Manchuria by the Japanese?' Or, 'Hasn’t Eastwood read the 'Rape of Nan King'?"

In fact, while most of the movie is taken from accounts in letters written by Japanese soldiers, this scene was made up. In addition, in another scene, a Japanese deserter surrenders to the Americans, who shoot the prisoner.

"Eastwood's descent into liberal madness, may be a product of too much success for an overly good looking young actor with no formal education to speak of," added Savage. "The years at Pebble Beach have altered an American icon into an unrecognizable Anti-American propagandist."


WOW - Just wait 'till Savage gets a gander of Sacco & Vanzetti:
