Speaking of Pearl Jam and rock opera, their cover of the Who's "Love Reign O'er Me" from the amazing rock opera, Quadrophenia, and covered for the movie of a similar title, is absolutely fantastic.JD Mathewsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01013387350010957440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-86399623226320694202007-03-26T10:12:00.000-06:002007-03-26T10:12:00.000-06:00I say go for it.Many a year ago I was in a band th...I say go for it.<BR/><BR/>Many a year ago I was in a band that wrote a rock opera called "The Illumination of Marshall Mcluan". The plot revolved around how Mcluan was abducted by aliens, becomes one with the univesrse, fights with the demon/god Cuthulu, takes over the world, gets encoded in to a vat of nano-computers and is utimately revealed as some kind of second coming. It even had a "Northern" component as Canada became a superpower and the ruling political party was The Baffin Island Party. You'd think such a thing would never get staged, and you'd be thinking wrong.<BR/><BR/>We did a 10 day run at a local theater and even came out ahead finanacially. Not much ahead, I made 28 cents an hour but it was really fun.<BR/><BR/>If we could get <I>that</I> staged I'm sure yours would be a hit.Coelecanthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886124862805759520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-9517897140298703872007-03-25T02:53:00.000-06:002007-03-25T02:53:00.000-06:00Hi Brian,Thanks for commenting. To answer your que...Hi Brian,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting. To answer your questions, I'm a full-time working drone just like everyone else. The only difference is I work a late shift, so I usually have several hours in the morning free to ride. But when you're out partying at night, I'm working.<BR/><BR/>Photography for the sake of photography really isn't a hobby of mine. But I am into journaling - as you can probably tell - and I see photography as an important extension of that. Most of my post-December pictures are taken on a Canon PowerShot S70 that was graciously given to me by a blogging friend whom I have never even met. Before that, I had some embarassingly outdated Fuji digital camera - about 2 megapixels. My pictures looked fine on screen, but terrible in print. The PowerShot is a huge upgrade, but it's still not what I'd consider "gobs of camera equipment." <BR/><BR/>Also, I don't have any photo editing software at home and no formal background in photography ... although I did work at a one-hour photo shop for about three months in college ... before they fired me. But I do live in a beautiful and unique place, and that alone makes for an endless source of cool photographs. Thank you for the compliment.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-75042121641437048162007-03-24T23:29:00.000-06:002007-03-24T23:29:00.000-06:00I enjoy your posts immensly.

I have two questions that may have been answered in previous posts, so please forgive me for not combing the archives: First, what job do you have that allows you so much time to ride and write? Second, since I haven't read you write about photography as a hobby or profession, and since your photos are so good, and since you surely are not carrying gobs of camera equipment on your treks, I am wondering what you use to capture/edit photos and what is your background in photography?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-33324323533245189292007-03-24T09:49:00.000-06:002007-03-24T09:49:00.000-06:00i'm thinking pearl jam. go for it, and let me kno...i'm thinking pearl jam. go for it, and let me know when it opens! <BR/><BR/>peace out, yo!bluecolnagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134285478201494323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-78587748340096708992007-03-24T09:25:00.000-06:002007-03-24T09:25:00.000-06:00I think you have been couped up to long Jill.
