These tunes in memory of my cat Zeno and the 'cat' he was named after, Zeno of Elea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sammy Davis, Jr., I Can't Get Started<\/a> Bunny Berigan, 1937<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Little Eva, Locomotion<\/a> Eva was Carole King's housekeeper. Carole<\/a> wrote her a song . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

Sir Douglas Quintet, She's about a Mover<\/a> (She's a body mover.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Electric Flag, Groovin' is Easy<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

A contender for the greatest, tightest band of the '60s, featuring Mike Bloomfield on guitar, my second guitar hero. I saw him play<\/a> at the Monterey Pop Festival in '67.

From Dylan's Down in the Groove<\/em> album, Ugliest Girl in the World<\/a>.  From racism to sexism. But it can't be sexist if it's true. For any X, it can't be X-ist if it is true.  Is it speciesist to say that man is the crown of creation, or to prefer human beings to robots? Humanity first!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
