Friend Material

My name is Sarah.
I was named after a Hall and Oates song.
I live in Music City, U.S.A.
You would think I would have a sense of rhythm.
You would be wrong.

» "I've been doing martial arts for 40 years, so you can look at me as Steven Seagal, he's a movie star, or you can look at me and say Steven Seagal, he can save my life."

Oh. My.

I’m pretty sure Katie’s text message “Google Steven Seagal Lawman right now” might have been the best one I’ve ever recieved.

If I ever got a tattoo of cartoon characters, it would look something like this.

Not that I ever would, because that would totally detract from the Wiley Coyote inked on my lower back.

The Belcourt is also showing Road House this weekend.

And that reminded Katie of this video, wherein so many things I love collide at once it makes my head hurt.

Video from Brooke’s previous album “Heal for the Honey”

You can buy both albums on the ITUNES.

Tonight I’ll be at the Belcourt Theater at the album release for my friend Brooke Waggoner’s new album “Go Easy Little Doves”

If Kate Bush and Cole Porter transcended time, had a love child, then that child was raised by Philip Glass and listened to A LOT of ELO that would just about sum her up.

She’s one of my oldest friends and everyone should listen to her all the time. I’ve already gotten her booked to sing at my wedding (date unknown) and my funeral (2012-ish).

Also, good Nashville fact. If you are a local, you only go to your friends’ shows. Then you spend the rest of your time complaining about how “nobody good ever plays here.”

Except for the Ryman of course, everything is good at the Ryman.

With no one to foist my opinions upon, I return shamefacedly to tumblr.

I’m pretty sure I have “left/given up/gotten lazy” about blogging about 6 or 7 times now. Don’t call it a comeback friendos.

“ We Americans are not usually thought to be a submissive people, but of course we are. Why else would we allow our country to be destroyed? Why else would we be rewarding its destroyers? Why else would we all— by proxies we have given to greedy corporations and corrupt politicians— be participating in its destruction? Most of us are still too sane to piss in our own cistern, but we allow others to do so and we reward them for it. We reward them so well, in fact, that those who piss in our cistern are wealthier than the rest of us.

“ Much protest is naive; it expects quick, visible improvement and despairs and gives up when such improvement does not come. Protesters who hold out for longer have perhaps understood that success is not the proper goal. If protest depended on success, there would be little protest of any durability or significance. History simply affords too little evidence that anyone’s individual protest is of any use. Protest that endures, I think, is moved by a hope far more modest than that of public success: namely, the hope of preserving qualities in one’s own heart and spirit that would be destroyed by acquiescence.

Vague Over-Emotional Facebook Status of the Day

”____________” wanted to change something in her life but can not, and yet making another small, unrelated change still lifted her spirits. Maybe more change is to come.

What does this even mean? Is this some Obama reference I’m just not getting?
