Like The King Of Pop????
Amazingly, Pavarotti died with massive debt— around $25,000,000, they say. Assets,pls? The media always goes for the most sensational headlines.

Malibu Is Burning…..
The Santa Ana devil winds were blowing in the nite. No rain last winter–never rain in the summer–the parched chaparral in the hills along PCH is tinder.
So Much To Think About……
1. WOW–the bombing & riots in Pakistan! Benazir Bhutto has real guts-you know her father & brother were assassinated. A big majority supports this WOMAN & her pro-Western, anti-terrorist views!!!!
2. A RECENT TEST AT LAX: 75% of the screeners involved PASSED DECOYS thru security–carrying faux bomb-making materials. THIS DOESN’T SHOCK ME !!!!
3.Went to the great Paul Smith store on Melrose (down the street from TOMMY PERSE’S notable emporium!) where talented Bryan Rabin transformed the parking lot into a deluxe tree-lined screening room. We couldn’t resist shopping. A beautiful men’s velvet jacket was purchased & I got a giant green plastic cactus, an art piece created from Gufram from 1971 (I had been dreaming of it for years & about blue Yves Kleins, too). I love the delicious Paul Smith Rose scent–my new fave.
The movie Smith hosted was the outrageous Brit cult fick, Withnail & I, (1987). I had never seen it, but heard about the legendary performance of Richard E. Grant. It was really something & so was Bruce Robinson’s terrific work as writer & director. Many thanks, Paul Smith!
Mulholland Drive….
took my car for a spin on Sat. There was almost no traffic on the winding mountain road.The day was perfect for me: 66 degrees, dull blue sky w/ patches of storm clouds. Sealed in the tiny cockpit-like cabin w/ the incredible Mark Levinson sound system blaring the late, great Luciano Pavarotti was, ah, sublime.
What?
…this country.
Our once great nation has sunk to unprecedented lows. Under the “guidance” of Geo. W Bush: we have a tanking economy; upcoming space missions will be ON A RUSSIAN SPACECRAFT (we can’t afford our own: we are at war, remember); crumbling infrastructure & a television character—Hannah Montana–played by Miley Cyrus, cute and talented young daughter of achy-breaky Billy Ray Cyrus is the nation’s top concert draw.
UPDATE YEARS LATER: My take on the real Miley’s so-called “scandalous and controversial” VMA performance all these years later in 2013: she’s funny, can sing and I like her a lot. If her act had been on SNL no one would have objected, or paid much attention. I think she’s an original.
