Of course, for the males, genitals would also make them less streamlined and perhaps tempt the fishies to nibble. Now I understand why Aquaman wears tights.

It's mostly a piece on soft vs hard sci-fi, with Morrison falling mostly on the soft side.

There are lots of people collecting antique, vintage, and found photography. A lot of it has historical or nostalgic value, but in the hands of the right "curator," it becomes poetry.

Not quite Kitsch-Wave, but close. People then and now seemed to love them, but they were never very popular outside their "Mexican Radio" one-hit.

Sweet videos of music visually processed, that makes my iTunes visualizer look like some sad gimp.

You would hear some band from overseas, on college radio, "Rock Over London." or some such, and it would take months, sometimes a year, before the music would hit our shores. An eternity it seemed.
