Sometimes I'm astounded when there are people in this community unfamiliar with The Power Child.

One WFMU DJ (whom I won't name) played something with a particularly gutteral energetic cookie-monster vocal on his one-minute show, and I posted a comment observing that it sounded a lot like Amanda.

He quietly deleted the comment, to save Amanda Nazario from insult. Because that's apparently the only Amanda he knew of.

That's what's impressed me lately about Glen Jones's program: His music selections mostly bore me; they're not bad, just too common. But starting a while after Burnsy died, Jonesy started talking about the music in ways that made it interesting. I always knew he COULD do that, from listening to his erstwhile interview program, but now I appreciate his actually doing it.

That whole "if you hate it, you must secretly love it" is childish. Does Irwin secretly love Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez? Oh wait, bad example, he probably DOES "love" her. And you know what I mean when I say "love"....

When the dream came
I held my breath with my eyes closed
I went insane, like a smoke ring day when the wind blows
Now, I won't be back till later on
If I do come back at all
But you know me and I miss you now
In a strange game, I saw myself as you knew me
When the change came and you had a chance to see through me
Though the other side is just the same
You can tell my dream is real
Because I love you, can you see me now?
Though we rush ahead to save our time
We are only what we feel
And I love you, can you feel it now? Yes.

The multiple-pledge trick is potentially a lot harder in the fall when you can only pledge with a credit card instead of choosing "bill me later". A pledger's CC company might find lots of small pledges suspicious and flag them. That's why I gave one huge amount to stop Felder instead of several small pledges.
