On a recent trip back to Southern Ohio, I met this fella on the street in a small and  very old river town named Gallipolis (in all probability where my French ancestors settled in far West Ohio circa 1790). Seeing my camera, he wanted me to take his picture, but didn’t understand that I couldn’t give him a copy right there on the spot. So I promised I’d publish it on my famous weblog (haha) and paid him a fin for the privilege. Didn’t catch his name, but for pushing a lawn mower around downtown in 98 degree heat, wearing 3 wristwatches, 2 pair of suspenders, and various other trinkets, crosses, and talismans, plus a necktie – he’s pretty hard to miss.

Hi Ho.

Last year I followed the story of Jamaican drug kingpin Dudus Coke, who was finally arrested after a big shoot-out in Kingston and extradited to the U.S. for trial. The trial date according to Jamaica Salt is September 12 in New York City this year.

Linda Ronstandt, 1976 in Offenbach Germany.

Was a big fan of L.R. way back in 1966, and kept up with her all along her career and… Now arguably the best American female vocalist of the last 50 years, here doing justice to one of the best preceding her. A really beautiful piece of understated music video as well.
