Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Speaking of The Who, I watched most of 'Tommy' again the other night on either Ecore or Starz. Wow. If I could delete a section from an American history book, and I had to choose between Japanese internment during WWII and the psychadelic 70's, I'd choose the 70's. Actually, maybe I'd rather delete the entire disco movement.

Let me clarify: I'm not bashing 70's music. Just the ridiculousness of it all.

That disco is garbage. The Who are definite fun, even though they are before my time.
