I doubt any human has had life easier than me — a white, male, heterosexual Canadian born 1957.
Talk about privilege.
Any man calling himself victim to the women’s rights movement is an idiot. And a snowflake. 😀

Sun Valley Sally by Joe Cannon
Back in my University days we bought tickets for Joe Cannon every year.
In fact it was Keith Erhardt and friends who sponsored his trips to Calgary.
So far as I know Joe still lives in Sun Valley.

Bohemian Rhapsody – my review
Loved it.
Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury was terrific.
I’ve been a fan of the band since 1974. Ron Shewchuk rang me up and told me to rush over to his place to listen to Queen II. I was blown away. They were so outrageous. So creative.

I saw it on London’s biggest Imax screen. Great sound!
The film received a mixed critical reception; its direction, screenplay and historical inaccuracies were criticized, but the Live Aid sequence and cast, particularly Malek’s performance as Mercury, received unanimous praise.
Farrokh Bulsara (5 September 1946 – 24 November 1991), known professionally as Freddie Mercury, was born of Parsi descent on Zanzibar, and grew up there and in India before moving with his family to Middlesex, England, in his late teens. He formed Queen in 1970 with guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor.

Iceland is magical. Mystical.
Exotic. Ethereal. Stark. … And very weird.
If you’re looking for inspiration to visit watch Glósóli by Icelandic band Sigur Rós. They are the second most famous band out of Iceland.

Duets (2000 film)
Jane and I both remembered this film fondly. We convinced Brian he should see it.
It was cheesier than I recalled. Paul Giamatti strong as the most important actor.
Duets has some charm. I liked Gwyneth Paltrow back then in films like this and Shallow Hal (2001).
