    I think they made no secret of being white. Especially in concert when people saw them. I'm glad they didn't pretend like so many others. The oft-praised soulless others.....

    Since the sentence you were responding to was like a triple negative, I just want to make clear (in case it wasn't) that I agree with you completely.

    This morning my social feed delivered a clip of them playing “Good Times, Bad Times” at a recent concert and I had that in my head for a couple of hours until I gave up and played the album.

    Also reels of the thing they do now where Carlotta sits on Ana’s shoulders to play a guitar solo. Ana is physically imposing. I need to ask her how tall she is as I can’t see that online.

    You know, for the first time in ages -- I have no idea why -- I pulled out the first Zep album.

    And you know what?  First the first time ever in my life, I kind of enjoyed it.

    It did get kind of tiresome before it ended, though.

  3. Sky Pavilion is an unprepossessing storefront Chinese place across 42nd Street from Port Authority.

    It's also one of the very best Sichuan restaurants in New York.  It needn't bow to anyplace on 39th Street or in Flushing.  In fact, I'd rate it above any of the 39th Street places.

    At least when it opened last year, it had a Famous Sichuan Chef (not famous to me, of course -- I'm only going by what I read).  I don't know if he's still there.  But his effect is still there.

    The cooking is amazingly precise.  If this isn't the very best frying in New York, for example, it's some of the best.  All the technical stuff is like that:  right on point.

    And the menu is interesting:  not all stuff you see coming and going.  There are not one but two pig brains dishes (the spicy sizzling one is fabulous) (and you can bet I'm going back for the grilled one).

    Be warned, though:  they're not shy with the peppers.  Even things you think wouldn't be that spicy are very spicy.

    I think this place is sensational.
