When I woke up this morning, it looked as if a large fog bank had rolled in off the Gulf. But by the time I got down to my car and saw the fine blanket of dirt covering it, I knew it was just what we like to call “dusty”. Many days so far have [...]
Now I’ve think I’ve emptied the whole country of every decent cassette of non-Arabic music. Black Crowes – “Amorica” Pearl Jam – “Vitalogy” Simon & Garfunkel – “Essential” Cat Stevens – “Very Best of” Good collection. Dixie Chicks – “Take The Long Way Home” Genesis – “Lamb Lies Down On Broadway” Kronos Quartet – “Released: [...]
Speaking of his Popeness and his recent American tour– Last Friday, I did indeed find one of three Catholic Churches in the vicinity and I attended mass. And it was just as dull and uninspiring as any other Catholic Church. Only this one was crowded! Packed to the walls. There were speakers outside so the [...]
So, I’m driving down the Gulf Street – off to find the local Catholic church (which I did). Traffic was pretty light. Suddenly, these two cars start playing cat-and-mouse with each other. One moves behind the other. Then that one switches lanes. The other double switches lanes. One moves in front, then behind. Then for [...]

I AM PAINFULLY CLOSE TO 10,000 SONGS! painfully, I tell you…. Nine Inch Nails – “Ghosts I-IV” Thanks, T. This is perfect. Not only that, but Adrian Belew is all over it. Rod Stewart – “Every Picture Tells A Story” The only Rod album I like. Barenaked Ladies – Just the five songs I like, [...]
I found a community theatre. The Kuwait Little Theatre is a local, amateur theatre that has open auditions and seems pretty active. It is located south of here is the town of Ahmadi. I don’t know where that is, how to get there or how long it would take. So my mission Friday was to [...]
Let’s talk about summer music. I know it’s only April, but here in Kuwait it is about 80-85 in the afternoon and the dragon flies are out in the evening. So – summer. Mother’s Heaven by Texas came out in 1991 and was all over most alterna-stations (amidst Pearl Jam and Nirvana) for a period [...]
