Tasty Morsels
Even rock n roll rebels are vulnerable to PC. The Rolling Stones removed the classic Brown Sugar from their set list. Fans noticed. “How come you taste so good?”
I’m familiar with his name, but I don’t believe I’ve seen any of Dave Chappelle’s work, as I’m not a fan of stand up. A few minutes of it at a time is all I can take. Still, kudos to him and Netflix for refusing to kowtow to the know-it-alls who police pop culture.
Headline from nypost.com: “Record 4.3 million Americans quit their jobs in August.” Most of the losses came in the restaurant and hotel industries.

The outgoing were a little more than the incoming, continuing the much needed reduction of inventory. Here’s what sold: DVDs of ten seasons of The Big Bang Theory, Punch Drunk Love (2002)and Scary Movie 3 (2003); Rogue, a thriller by Mark Sullivan; Run for Your Life by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge; a paperback in Russian, eight Harlequin romances and four volumes of Jack London translated into that language.
