Powerful lines from the movie The Exorcist:

Father Karras: I think it would be helpful if I gave you some background on the different personalities Regan has manifested. So far, I’d say there seem to be three…..

Father Merrin interrupts: “There is only one.”

Nice mash up between Greenspan and Yellen WB7; I suppose she has Bernanke's dick?

The FED is so pathetic; risk arbiter for Wall Street, punisher of Main Street.

Nope, Bernanke has Yellen's dick, it was bigger.

As a young "assistant recording engineer", I worked on a project called 'Harlow' that included Steve "Doc" Kupka. It was mixed in NYC so when I visited NYC in '85, I took the album with me and went looking. Knew I was close when I spotted the Hendrix poster in the second floor window. Buzzed the door and she said there wasn't anyone home, come back later. Was headed out Monday so went back first thing Monday morning and she said "you're the guy that was here Saturday? Hang on." The door released and I walked down a long hallway to the circular reception area. Had a quick chat, asked me if I brought a resume!!! 

To stand there and look at those walls covered with gold and platinum... 

Yes, I have been to Electric Ladyland.

The mix engineer was Brad Samuelsson and his assistant was Edward Garcia. We recorded it in '81 but the mix/lacquering etc dragged on many months.

"Play of light, a photograph, the way I used to be

 some half-forgotten stranger, doesn't mean that much to me..." lol

 

WB7, thanks for being "Available Light":

 

oh the light can carry

all the visions of the sea

oh the light can carry

all the images to me

 

Presto recorded June-August 1989, Le Studio, Morin Heights, Quebec, produced by Rupert Hine, Mastered by Bob Ludwig, Masterdisk NYC

 

(and happy 40th RUSH!)

"Available Light" is one of my all time favorite Rush songs.  Too bad it came from probably their WORST album ever.  It was a transition album from their heavily produced synthesizer days to their stripped down more hard rock albums of the 90's and 2000's.

Very poignant.  I think Neil Peart was beginning to get to the age where one starts to look back a little and realize his youth was fading and the road ahead needed to be met with more comtemplation and circumspection.  A sort of "take more careful stock" of things.....like your time and your relationships.  You heard that also in this song from the album Hold Your Fire which came before Presto from which "Available Light" came from

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0YwbAmCwz8

I saw them live in 1987 during the time of Hold Your Fire which later became the live album "A Show of Hands".  Stunning....simply stunning.  Best concert I have ever seen.  Paid $20 dollars to see them front row.  Now.....I have to take a second mortagage on the house to see one of their concerts and take the kids....who really need to see them before they retire.

I  usually slow down in July. But this time I also have an extra incentive. Health and happiness ;-)

Burning the candle on one end instead of both, in a manner of speaking...

He was detained by the TPTB for telling too much truth.

That is what I feared. I thought that they might have "disappeared him". I thought that he was MIA.

 

You were AWOL WB7...Don't do that again. ;- )

I was thinking more Liberace and Madeleine Albright, which must have been one hell of a party.
