Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago.


Today is February 4th, 2025. So today marks 42 years since Karen Carpenter passed away. This is a sad time, but a very good time to listen to her most beautiful voice and look at some of your favorite pictures of Karen. Personally, I look at Karen's eyes, they melt my heart!

The best I’ve got to tell about is meeting a Lucinda Williams on four occasions, and the first time I was unfortunately coming off like Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now when he was going off on how great Marlon Brando was. And to my dismay, the last time or maybe the second to the last time that  I met her, like it was at least a couple of years if not more later, she remembered me from the first time.

I was thinking, "Of all the things I’d rather were not remembered about me."

@unclewilbur that's what I thought too. Although I have a degree, I am dumb as a rock when it comes to plants.

@immatthewj oh you had to show off. At least I made bad first impressions on zero celebrities

Well, @grislybutter , if nothing else, I guess I was able to accomplish that during the days of which  I was trying to party like a rock star.  

ok, I dug one up (in the biggest loser category):

I got arrested at the Queen's Budapest concert when I climbed a 20 foot wall to get inside the stadium. Not only I didn't see the Queen (how cool that would have been) but I was embarrassed to ashes in front of my date. A german sheppard dragged me down and placed me in front of the cops like a frail bird in a split second. It was impressive.
