I don't know about very good songs nor very long ones but I do know a Very Cellular Song by an incredible string band.
Carym, I did go through a brief Prog Phase in the Fall of 1977 but it didnt stick...all I retain from it is a love of Robert Wyatt and Hatfield & The North.

You think YOU are Walter White? My friend John lent me the 1st season DVDs early this year (please don't spoil the rest), and I told him, "I am soooo that guy!" Seriously, I'm an unemployed biochemist with heart disease, and I have no scruples. I make my own fireworks at home, and I've helped someone else make GHB.
Plus, I tried very hard to find "Malcolm in the Middle" amusing but couldn't, so now I get to see the guy in a role I really enjoy.

Yay for Susan's b'day!
10:11am
Robert:
The GHB was back when it was still legal, and I couldn't help much because I was sneezing a ton from the cats Linda Twigg had down there, and she died the next year from a heroin OD that wouldn't've killed her had she not gotten off methadone in favor of GHB. NaGHB is silly to make anyway, when the GBL it's made from is slightly more potent, and without all that sodium.
I dont know Robert, maybe you do win. I haven't mixed chemicals in a long time. Not since I destroyed the lawns in my neighborhood with hydrochloric gas.
10:13am
Robert:
I also make a great bubble bath, and have gallons of it slowly going bad (getting harder to mix & pour) in a warehouse in Allentown.
10:14am
The GB Kid:
@ Robert / @ Ken - You two should trade meth recipes
OK Robert you win. But not because of the bubble bath. Because of the warehouse in Allentown.
10:17am
Caryn:
And now, Ken, feeling vengeful after being bested, will take revenge by playing Billy Joel's "Allentown" on a loop for the rest of the show...
Please don't.

Okapi is so damn good!
10:18am
Robert:
When "Malcolm in the Middle: came on, it really was in the middle between shows I liked. I gathered that they were trying very hard for the type of humor that's just my taste, so I gave them a good shot, a really good one, and they just couldn't make me laugh. I would see scenes and think, yeah, I see where this is SUPPOSED to be funny to someone like me.
But as desperate as I've been lately for money, I can really get into the Walter White character.
10:20am
Susan:
Aw thanks FOFO and Caryn! You're swell!
BTW, I've been to warehouses in Allentown. They are less depressing than Billy Joel.
Please don't.

The warehouse is that of FMI--Fragrance Mfg. Inc., although there's no fragrance in my bubble mixture, it's supremely non-irritating. Meth I've never made, although I did have some KClO4 a friend had left over from a failed meth-making attempt that I turned into firework material. I've also tried making an analog of my friend's U4Euh. Unfortunately my organic synthesis skill is less like Walter White and more like that of his student to whom he said, "Your shit IS shit!"

He didn't mention a very practical objection they had to Indo-Arabic numerals: they were more easily changed to greater effect than Roman or written-out numbers (think '3'-->'8', '1'-->'7' before they figured out ways to make them more different, or '0'-->anything back when '0' was written as a dot.... The Chinese traditionally have used different forms for numbers in legal documents because their standard such also could too easily be changed ('1'-->'2' or '3', '2'-->'3').

Although I've seen only season 1 so far (no spoilers, please), another thing apparently I have in common with Walter White was that I got fired from the R&D dept. of a medical device co. for not getting with their crooked program. A yr. later they were under a grand jury probe, and the year after that they were acquired by their supplier and broken up.

Robert, Cranston was wonderful in that role, but the kids were such brats and the great Jane Kaczmarek was given such a shrill, unlikeable part to play. I still dont' want to see Breaking Bad. My extended family has had some horrible fallout from meth.
10:41am
Robert:
Yeah, Cecile, that's about the same as my complaints about that show. Mr. Cranston was good, but then I was trying to figure out how we were supposed to sympathize with a mother who seemed disrespectful to everyone for no good reason, and the kids just weren't funny. The guy who soliloquized to the audience was not the guy I wanted to hear from.
What kind of horrible fallout, Cecile?

Cecile:
Hub's cousin's ex-husband was a dealer and also illegally sold weapons and went to jail(he was scum, but the cousin was really nice and didn't deserve it).
Another of his cousins accepted a package of shall we say components for a friend who was under surveillance, but didn't know what was in it. State tried to get him to turn in his friend, but he wouldn't. So his friend lied and cousin did jail time.
And my B-I-L is on SSI because he self-medicated with meth to control his bipolar disorder before people took it seriously.

jojo:
i prefer peter pan, the inna jungle is always playing
Interesting & sad, Cecile. Looks like all those stories concern meth not so much in its pharmacologic effects but its legal status -- that the people in the biz are crooks and legal investig'ns embroil them, and that your BIL couldn't have a free choice in self-medic'n (probably would've used something other than meth).

But the arms/drug dealer was a real dirtball. He sold to middle school kids! I hope he is still rotting in jail. Sorry.

What I meant was the the legal investig'ns embroil "them" meaning innocents who get sacrificed like that.

I think I'll take a bath with my bubble mixture now. It's made of lauryl and laureth sulfosuccinates and lauramidopropyl betaine. If I'd been able to afford it I would've liked a little palmitamidopropyl betaine in the mix too, experimental samples with that were creamier, but I'm sure it would've separated faster.
I invented this stuff for people who couldn't use other bubble baths because of urogenital irrit'n, and it turned out my formulas also made denser foam, more like soap lather in consistency, hence more fun for kids to play with. See US pat. 5,336,446.
The foam laying on top of the water is also excellent to masturbate with, as I discovered while trying to think of another test vs. urinary or genital irrit'n.

Yes, Dan B, I wouldn't want to mess up the station that works in practice though not in theory. I once posed Ken a hypothetic about that. Suppose WFMU DJs, in something like a joint venture with the Foundation, started streaming on a pay service on the side...would he worry that that would affect their programming choices?

Ken...You should play the sexy gun tape under this....it would be so hot....
11:58am

Actually the full hypothetic was, what if the foundation started simulcasting on a station somewhere that put in commercial breaks, and the DJs might be tempted to alter their programming to fit the commercial breaks, i.e. putting on less interesting stuff during times when that station would be in commercials? Would Ken try to put counter-pressure against that?
