Ain't Too Proud To Beg: Make A Donation

I really should've gotten around to these two items earlier, but things just haven't worked out:

First, it's DONATION TIME again!

Look, kids, it seems to me that if Americans can donate millions to Hillary, Barack, McCain, and Palin, then they can throw a few bucks to influence the direction of online cultural thought, too. (Doing even a semi-popular one-man blog ain't easy, Folks.)

TMR's influence is growing by leaps and bounds since it's "authority" was only 26 a few months ago - there's even talk of a book deal! - but the other plans I want to roll out (an anti-cult band, another blog, an online videoblog, etc.) all take moolah - which I ain't got yet. (Heck, I just lost a job because I was being sexually harassed! Don't ask how that happens: just assume I was working for San Francisco Bay Area liberals and look away,...)

Anyhow, if you've got some cash you can throw this way, it would be greatly appreciated - and will lead directly to a far superior "product," on so many fronts, it'll (eventually) blow your mind like I was Sarah Palin. Take this, for instance:

Diddly's Weblog was inspired by this blog, which shouldn't be too surprising since it's founder, William Chase, is one of my favorite readers - he's even tried to help TMR (and it's constant barrage of swear words) get sponsors.

William (above, with his beautiful new daughter) is a therapist (this blog, to my everlasting shame, can attract a very-credentialed and high-minded readership) and he's been the inspiration for several great posts since we've met. The guy's a big brain so, of course, I'll be quoting his posts in the future but, in the meantime, go pay Diddly's a visit for yourself: Mr. Chase (MSW) has got a lot of insightful thoughts on modern cultism to share.

O.K. - that's it - but just so we're clear:

1) Give the crazy black guy money.

2) Visit a therapist.

See? Proof you don't have to be an NPR listener for those two things to go together!

Bo Diddley Is Dead: Long Live Bo Diddley

The very idea of such a visionary artist, today, is unheard of. His last album, fittingly, was called "A Man Amongst Men."

“I tell musicians, ‘Don’t trust nobody but your mama,’ and even then, look at her real good.”

-- As quoted in Rolling Stone Magazine
