Sure, you say R.I.P. to these celebrities, but are you going to say the same

thing is, why do we honor the death' of celebrities? I've never known a
celebrity. I once got within a hundred yards of Elvis, but he didn't
acknowledge me. Tupelo Asshole! Here's my point just in case you'r
wondering what the hell it is -- it is this....... Oh, Christ, now I can't
remember what I was going to say. It had something to do with envy and
resentment and jealousy and feeling unappreciated and all that stuff. --
It'll come back to me in a minute. Meanwhile let's talk about our
President. This is all I have to say: Get the fuck out of Iraq, out of
Afghanistan, out of Pakistan. For God's sake, Hussein, we didn't elect a
socialist-Marxist-Muslim-terrorist-Kenyan President to continue the policies
of George W. Bush (i.e. Dick Cheney). We want jihad against the Republican
demons. Do it now!!!
Ach! I'm worn out. Maybe tomorrow I'll continue my rant.

Dame Joan Sutherland passed away on Oct. 10, 2010
Bio: "A Prima Donna's Progress"
From online source:
"Sutherland was born on November 7, 1926, in Sydney, Australia, to William
and Muriel (Alston) Sutherland. Her father, a Scottish immigrant and
tailor, died of a heart attack on Sutherland's sixth birthday. Joan and
her elder
sister Barbara were raised by their mother, an amateur singer and music
teacher, and members of her family.
Early Musical Education
While attending St. Catherine's Girls' School in Waverly, Sutherland
received her first education in music, primarily piano, from her mother.
Muriel
Sutherland had been taught in the bel canto tradition which her daughter
would later help revive interest in."

Signora granda, testa che massa
massa ne passa, che quasi schissa,
Dia dei sostegni de cese e palassi
Dia de le taje che su ne tien fissi
Dia de le onde che le ne fa grassi,
ne ingrassa de ogni grassia, Dia Venessia -
aàh Venessia aàh Venàssia aàh Venùsia
