We'd have 33 seasons of DS9 if we had kept our eye on the ball. Over 850 episodes at a staggering 26 episodes a season. You could do an entire season just on Garak and Bashir's kids. As a society, it's clear where we've failed

Day 15 A song that starts with O George Michael - Outside #DavidsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge A glorious two-finger salute from a mensch.

Tony Kushner writes masterpieces like THE FABELMANS, stands up to bigots on trains, and needlepoints SHINING pillows. This is what people mean when they say "renaissance man"

The brilliant thing about Withnail & I is that it’s a black comedy until Withnail is left all alone. He delivers this piercingly melancholy monologue to an audience of wolves & we see that this vain & insecure fool is actually deeply talented & will never be able to show it: youtu.be/4WnNL67PEKU?...

Day 10 A song that starts with J Kitchens Of Distinction - Japan To Jupiter #DavidsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge "Jonesy says it how it could be His sun machine, his starry man His Major Tom, his Berlin hands"
