“I like to distinguish between Christianity and Christendom, and Christendom is the institution that is sort of established, the politics of a church. Christianity is the heart and core of a faith, and is really about service and love and generosity and kind of a yielding of your will for other people, and the Christian Right is really a political organization and I think we should stop associating it with the Church because it’s reduced an entire philosophy and an entire religious consciousness to a set of principles, and to me that is legalization and legality or however you want to describe it, and those ideas are pretty alien to fundamental Christianity.”

Seriously? I definitely called that number after I saw this video and I’m 79% sure that the dude who answered was NOT Jason Segel.

IDK.

“

I am not a music critic. Nor historian, nor archivist. I cannot tell you where Bruce Springsteen falls in the pantheon of the American songbook. I cannot illuminate the context of his work, or its roots in the folk and oral history traditions of our great nations.

But I am from New Jersey.

So, I can tell you what I believe. And what I believe is that Bob Dylan and James Brown had a baby. Yes! And they abandoned this child, as you can imagine at the time…interracial, same sex relationships being what they were…they abandoned this baby by the side of the road between the exit interchanges 8A and 9 on the Jersey Turnpike…that child was Bruce Springsteen…

I believe that Bruce Springsteen is an unprecedented combination of lyrical eloquence, musical mastery and sheer unbridled, unadulterated joy. Exuberance in the act of telling stories so familiar, stories that have never been told so well or so uniquely. And I know he’s hating this right now. He’s a modest man, and he doesn’t like sitting there in that little box, with his little suit, wearing a little rainbow dreamcatcher or whatever they have on there…he doesn’t like it.

He wishes he had his guitar and that I would shut up, but I will not. He is the Boss…But I didn’t understand his music for a long time, until I began to yearn. Until I began to question the things that I was making and doing in my own life. Until I realized that it wasn’t just about the joyful parade on stage and the theatrics.

It was about stories of lives that could be changed. And that the only status that you could fail to achieve is the status quo. The only thing, the only failure in life was not to make the effort to change our station. And it resonated with me because, and I say this truly to him…I would not be here, God knows, not even in this business if it were not for the inspirational words and music of Bruce Springsteen.

funeral:

Marriage equality took a big step forward recently, as our nation’s capital became the latest jurisdiction to legalize same-sex marriage. Mayor Adrian Fenty signed the legislation in an emotional ceremony, one in which he discussed the discrimination his own parents — an interracial couple — had faced in the 1960’s. It was great news for supporters of marriage equality — and supporters of equality, period.

Unfortunately, some members of Congress are trying to veto it. In a slap at equality, and a slap at DC’s right to self-rule, arch-conservatives are plotting ways to end marriage equality in DC before it even begins.

I thought our story was epic, you know? You and me. Spanning years, and continents. Lives ruined. Blood shed. Epic.

AHA. My cousin. It is apparently where all the cool kids shop. Apparently I am not a cool kid. I’ll probably order something from the clearance section online.

Blech.
