Poor Al. His luster has certainly faded. Here was the man elected president over the weekend...
What illustrious event was he headlining? Why, none other than the opening of the International Art Exhibition of the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists Worldwide! They opened a new Family Dollar store across from my building last week. It's a shame he was unavailable.
Now, before I get flames, I'm a crip. I understand that organizations like this one are important. My mother dragged me to see Joni when I was a kid. It's moving stuff. Of course, she's now a Republican shill who they trot out to tug on the ol' heartstrings.
It just seems that ol' Al should have better things to do with his time.

like?
he's given up on the one thing he really wanted(from all the things i've read) ... i would imagine it's hard having to rethink your role in life after so many years of working towards one thing.
but then what do i know? i haven't figured out what i want to be when i grow up, much less given up on any lifelong dreams. ;-)

I've never seen Joni but very much liked the more recent King Gimp (http://www.hbo.com/kinggimp/king/), which I thought pretty well avoided cheap heartstring-tugging.
Posted by: Vernam on May 8, 2003 04:28 PMHey, do you remember my friend Melina from K-ville (The one you found to be infinitely dreamy)? She spent a couple years as the personal assistant to some guy out in Tuscon who's a foot-painter. Maybe she was there hangin' with Al?
