Matthew @ Lena's

Presenting Matthew Loiacono and the Upstate Kentucky Choir, live from Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs. Because it's been, like, 3 minutes since I've posted photos of Mr. Loiacono.

Another amazing night of music in the Five-One-Eight.

George Carlin. 1937-2008.

New York Times:

Although some criticized parts of his later work as too contentious, Mr. Carlin defended the material, insisting that his comedy had always been driven by an intolerance for the shortcomings of humanity and society. "Scratch any cynic," he said, "and you'll find a disappointed idealist."

Still, when pushed to explain the pessimism and overt spleen that had crept into his act, he quickly reaffirmed the zeal that inspired his lists of complaints and grievances. "I don't have pet peeves," he said, correcting the interviewer. And with a mischievous glint in his eyes, he added, "I have major, psychotic hatreds."

Perspective

In spite of the nastiness and venom of the past several months, the uncertainty of now, and the ugliness that is certainly to come, there's nothing like holding your sleeping, two-month-old bi-racial daughter in your arms while witnessing the finale of the historic campaigns of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to put it all in perspective.
