The Explanation
(for those who require one)
And, of course, that is what all of this is -- all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs -- that song, endlesly reincarnated -- born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 -- same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness."

Julie Christie AND Diana?!?! Now that's a way to kickstart a new week! Thanks Tom! ;-PPP
Ah, Dame Diana...yowsah!
Drool.....
When was that taken? (It looks to be pre-"Avengers," judging from her smiling, youthful face.) And those legs are magnificent! Hail to this long-stemmed English rose.
That would be during The Avengers -- she was a great advocate for the miniskirt.
Happy Tuesday! Woo-wee.
Wowzers. She was such a knock-out. Oh, for a time machine to take me back to the '60s...
Oh Jesus, what a shot
1967, I think
I have another image from this photo shoot that's a bit more, uh, frontal.
I guess I'll hang onto it a bit longer...
You'll do no such thing! Wait for another entry to go by, then post it.
Believe me, no one's gonna complain.
fuck myself, why isn't she naked?
and why on earth am i not on your bloglist you pscyleslut?
There's an excellent reason . . . which I already toldja: Your blog is in espanol. Start publishing it in the Queen's own english and I'll see whut I can do. I can't have our patriotic American visitors traipse unsuspectingly over to some furrin-language presentation. Why, they'd never forgive us!
Hey, Stephen, looky who's here: R'member Sirblob from 'ramp-f'?
I tellya, every day here is a trip down memory lane.
