Feist - Graveyard

I'm thinking of Dottie and her daughter, Becca.  They used to go to meetings on Henry Street.  Becca wove her program of recovery into her Christian religion.  Or the other way around.  I remember that she suffered terribly from mental health issues.  During one meeting, she reminded herself of advice she had elicited from one of her church members:  "when times get tough, visualize the cross."

Not long after that, she jumped from a bluff and smashed her face into the rocks.  Her mother, Dottie, was choked to death by Becca's father soon after.  

Feist - The Bad In Each Other

Feist - How Come You Never Go There

Belated discovery of a new artist, who sings and even dances her way into the emotional sweet spot of this aesthete.  Her name is Leslie Feist, pronounced "Fiyst."  Outstanding artist.

Feist - Century

Feist - I Feel It All

I heard this wonderful song being piped through the Big Lots muzak system yesterday. Leslie Feist would cringe. I did. But the garish venue did not attenuate the quality of her art not one little bit.

Aristotle's Modes of Persuasion in the Age of Donald Trump and "Fake News."

Chairman Trump exploits pathos, ignores logos, and eviscerates the ethos by ad hominem attacks on those who would question his actions.  His adversary's credibility is dispensed with terms like "Crazy Bernie," "Little Marco," and the like.  He then proceeds by corroborating his own credibility by appealing to morons, who accept the bait, especially when he waves the flag and conjoins God with his presidency, lifting a bible into the air in a sectarian photo op.  This is the pathos.  Logos is drowned out by the first two modes and is effectively neutralized because of his declaration that any argument that disparages him or his administration is "fake news."  It's the god damndest thing I've ever witnessed.
