Kenny if you don't think Kylie is sexy I am really worried about your mental health, or have you switched teams?
(this was meant to be a joke)

P.S. Let's don't start with the TV/TS jokes! Just DON'T. Those people have suffered enough already, thank you very much, gentlemen!  I am really pissed to see that we have even sunk to this pathetic bigotted level of non-humour so drop it now. |

Vicki I've deleted what you found offensive, but bloody hell it's a bit rich when you've just finished serving it up to me! |

I hardly think that as a white-hetero-male you have suffered from much bias during your life Kenny, I also thank you very much for removing that comment now if we can just convince 'me'.  |

I'm curious about your exchange with Kenny, Vicki. I haven't seen the post that Kenny deleted in response to you so I'm flying blind here. I mean no disrespect to your views, it's just that you always seemed to me someone who, though she had strong political committments, was not PC on humour. Acid test for that? I understood you are a South Park fan, where humour at the expense of groups who have "suffered enough" (disabled, gays, jews, blacks) is rampant. It surprises me that Kenny could have crossed the line with you with what I gathered was humour at the expense of transvestites and transsexuals who I would say have suffered far less bigotry than the aforementioned groups. Just curious as to precisely where you stand, I thought I knew: that humour transcends PC.

Yeah, well this place has become a drag.
It seems to me like a case of "Do as I say, not do as I do" and PC madness. My comment was actually pretty mild, but I gracefully deleted no probs. But - judge and jury - Vicki deemed her own efforts A OK.

uh, yeah, I know Tina Brooks was male........it was kind of a joke, Joyce.
re the Kenny/Vicki exchange : just think how much discrimination he has copped (deservedly !) for being a Murdoch journo ; and a rugby-loving Kiwi !
re True Blue : not an earth-shaking, innovative, very best of Blue Note album, but a very satisfying one.
re Jackie Mac : I've always been a big fan, love his full-on attack. I think Let Freedom Ring & Destination Out were his very best recordings.

My goodness are some of you boys ganging up on me? Oh dear, should I fuck off out of here then and leave you to it?
Now that I have thought about it, nnnnnnnnnnnnah.
Seriously now...
South Park - written by Jewish gay males, I believe. Astute social satire that does more to counteract discrimination
than add to it. They raise awarenesss of gender and diversity issues more so than show like 4 Corners ever could,
for example. We call that "popular campaigning" in the worthy aid world that I inhabit.
Admittedly some of the social satire could easily be missed by some of the people who watch it.
Sorry Kenny is finding this discussion such a drag. I am finding it rather lively myself, always enjoy a good feisty debate.
Mark: if you want to know what Kenny wrote why don't you just ask him off line?
AJ: I don't recall bagging Kenny for his taste in sport.
I do remember openly drooling over Melbourne Storm boys,
which is a basic human right in my book, especially when they jog past me on training runs on my early morning walks.
I do recall teasing Kenny about being a hack.
He is a big man I am sure he can cope with that one.
Every journalist I have worked with whether ABC/SBS/BBC/Newslimited or
even good old Fairfax gets the same treatment from me regardless. We are all hacks in one way or another.
Shall we move on now?
I still think Kylie is sexy and I know lots of boys and girls who would gladly ... I'm
amazed that anyone wouldn't her physically attractive, apparently I have that wrong. Whoops, so sue me already

No probs, Vicki. As Mark has guessed - after I told him what I had deleted - it was the vehemance of your protestations that were unsettling.
But I deleted without hesitation, despite the words in question being pretty benign and concerning a bit of jazz goss that is well known. Not that I named the person in question. I don't support it, or even necessarily believe it. I couldn't give a damn.
So I think the likes of "I am really pissed to see that we have even sunk to this pathetic bigotted level of non-humour so drop it now" is an extreme reaction. Especially from someone who professes to "enjoy a good feisty debate".
How about answering Mark's query about what is acceptable by way of humor?

Hank Mobley - Hi Voltage. hey, this is starting to sound pretty good, despite the presence of Jackie McLean.
Jerome Sabbagh - North. Tenor, guitar (Ben Monder), bass, drums outfit from NY. OK, but nothing real flash.
William Parker Quartet - O'Neal's Porch
Art Farmer - A Sleeping Bee
Maria Schneider Orchestra - A Concert In The Garden. Sounding better as time goes by ...

Kenny sorry, forgot to agree with you: yep it is true I AM an Extreme kind of woman, just ask Joe Chindamo (laughing out loud) or any of my Senior Management.
I feel sorry for anyone who has to 'manage' me and to be fair I always tell them I'm sorry after they burst into tears when I am mean to them for not being perfect.
Must be that Mediterranean steamy temper of mine.
Anyway I am very much into Extreme Posting these days: it is the latest cyber sport and surely much more fun than cyber sex. I'm so over internet porn, it is just so boring! All those tits look so fake, yuck!
(humming)
nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah sigh....

So I front up for another Wednesday From Hell, a CD page to clean up, reviewers to hassle, a review to write - and then there is manna from the record company gods: A double CD of demented rock from Texas loony Roky Erickson and a Bear Family CD called Hammond Heroes. No, not Jimmy Smith but Brian Auger, Steve Winwood, Georgie Fame, Keith Emerson etc etc.
Blimey: Two Headed Dog, Bermuda, I Think Of demons. Don't Shake Me Lucifer, It's A Cold Night For Alligators.
Argfhhhh!!!! There's only one way to play this stuff - with the volume knob on 12 and upheld fist pumping the air. ;D

Found these gems at the library .
Samuel Barber's Essays for Orchestra ( I love it - can't believe this were written such along time ago).
Nick McBride with Carl Dewhurst and a few others can't really tell who cos the cover notes are stuck together and the rest is covered by Port Phillip library stickers. Released in 2001.
Fantastic recordings both of them.
