Just finished reading a biography of Marianne Faithfull, the singer and one time lover of Mick Jagger.  Talk about sex, drugs and alcohol and hedonism.  It's from 1994 and she is still alive after finally getting clean.  Now, I'm reading about the archeological digging at the site of Megiddo, aka, the supposed site of Armageddon. In the 1920's and 30's leading up till WW2.  A lot of Scholastic intrigue, back biting, skulldudgery, and assorted shenanigans from that era.

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Not reading anything at the moment. Too scatter-brained. :(

A book about the Talking Heads band.  By the drummer and bass player, husband and wife combo.  Very interesting.

A book about the origins of the star spangled banner, how it became our national anthem and the politics of the time period that let up to that point.
