"Guys, listen up, I just got a memo saying that every floor in the building has to designate a floor emergency marshal for fires, terrorist attacks, Cloverfield monsters. I can't do it, because my head is too big for the helmet. Any volunteers?" - "30 Rock", "Gavin Volure" episode ("Kenny" street performing in his neighborhood was my personal favorite.) Good Afternoon, my lovelies, It's Friday, we made it. I'm sure we all deserve some R&R. Then again, here at the "House of Love" we believe in R&R 24-7… This is the "House of Love" after all. It's good to see you, my lovelies. Without further ado, let's begin… AFTERNOON QUOTES: "All of us are freaks in one way or another. Try being born a male Russian Countess into a white, middle class, Baptist family in Mississippi, and you'll see what I mean." - "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" (1993) DAWNY'S 2-CENTS- The movie is good, the book by Tom Robbins is great. Next… BOOK CORNER: Check out the following books by Tom Robbins… 1. "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" 2. "Jitterbug Perfume" DAWNY 2-CENTS- More books to come… L.A. MOMENTS/coolest thing I saw while stuck in traffic on Sunset Blvd.: A little old lady driving a cherry red Buick with the license plate "B-Fly". Next… You know what its time for? Yeah, you do… MUSIC CORNER/more songs for your Autumn Soundtrack: (I've got some oldies for ya' today, my lovelies…) 1. "You Wreck Me" by Tom Petty 2. "Turn my camera on" by Spoon (We've been digging this song lately at the "House of Love") 3. "Superstitious" by Stevie Wonder 4. "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood (A little '80s New Wave for ya'. J) 5. "Brass Monkey" by The Beastie Boys 6. "Redemption Song" by Bob Marley 7. "Never Say Never" by Romeo Void (We're feeling this song today, my lovelies.) 8. "Once in a lifetime" by Talking Heads MOVIE CORNER/something better than "VH-1: Behind the Music": The Peter Bogdanovich directed documentary "Runnin' Down a Dream: Tom Petty" DAWNY'S 2-CENTS- Warning, it's LONG. It covers three decades in the history of the rock band. Eddie Vedder, Dave Grohl, Stevie Nicks, Jackson Browne, George Harrison, and Johnny Depp—among others---all have a say about Tom and his crew. Next… RANDOM MUSINGS: Coming up on the "Love": holiday recipes (love that stuffing and Egg Nog), more music, more books, more movies, more "Hollywood Moments", and of course…more of the adventures of "Baby Trig" and "Baby Leon". Until next time…
