can someone find something else for the old people to do?

Yes, but at our age it wouldn't be as cool as sitting in front of a monitor and tickling a keyboard - all while pretending you're still alive.

as i took in the somewhat strange spectacle of sonic youth on letterman last night i was reminded of a conversation i had in grad school with an ultra-cool older student (who i've since lamentably lost all contact with). laurie anderson had just performed at usc and she (my friend, not laurie anderson) opined that there could not possibly be a cooler couple than laurie anderson and lou reed. i thought john and yoko trump them, but, of course, only one of them is still alive. kim gordon and thurston moore must be up there in the pantheon, however. extending out of music, bogart and bacall are near the top. perce and mary shelley probably top the literary list.

Patti and Fred (Sonic) Smith.

that's the ticket.

I thought Baez majorly de-cooled Dylan.

Not in the beginning. Later.

No no.

Baez was uncool from Day 1.

"You're such a good audience, I think I'm going to take my shoes off."

Gimme a fucking break.

And this at a time when Sam Cooke was alive and charting. There was no excuse to be listening to that prettified deracinated drivel.

I'd like to go back in time and bop her early-60s self on the head with a weighty vinyl set of Anthology of American Folk Music.

Um, did you ever hear her do "Copper Kettle" or "East Virginia"? Or even, "Farewell, Angelina"?

marilyn monroe: huge tracts of land, yes, but cool, no. but freezing compared to arthur miller.

Apparently not. Hefner has paid a bunch of money to get the drawer next to Monroe in Westwood for his remains.
