Willie Nelson lent his cred, which is virtually unheard of for a corporate campaign.<br />
<br />

Chipotle released this statement about the <a href="http://ir.chipotle.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=194775&p=irol-newsArticle&id=1659494" target="_blank">sustainability video</a>. Chipotle also has a <a href="http://www.cultivatefoundation.org/" target="_blank">foundation</a> to support the cause, and food personality <a href="http://www.jamieoliver.com/about/jamie-oliver-biog" target="_blank">Jamie Oliver</a> seems to be on board, who was recently recognized by <a href="http://www.ted.com/" target="_blank">TED</a>.<br />
<br />
If they manage be a true and enduring thought leader on transforming greed and consumption into sustainability and responsibility, I'd be a customer for life. And if past is prologue, the actual patience and benevolence exhibited by investors in lieu of profits will limit the success of any such effort.<br />
<br />
At least they are keeping good company in the meantime.<br />

<br />
The list is not new since DJ AM is no longer with us, but let it be known that many of these Jams do, in fact, stand. --I say that as a DJ who plays them and witnesses the smiles, shouting, and booty shaking.<br />
<br />
Go to it, folks. Follow Prince.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<a href="http://christopherbaer.com/music/Crisp_Air_Chung_King.mp3" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="blank"><img border="0" height="148" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FEb8RrQSpoI/Tv5Xt8MtpQI/AAAAAAAAAOw/o7hWGGKSKGs/s200/chun-king.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />

<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The gist was to take synthy rock/dance/indie tracks pumped out of who knows where, and mix them into something cohesive: the beats range from 92 to 184 bpm, and are influenced by everything from post-punk, syrupy pop, to dub step, and nu disco. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you get jangled by the faster tracks in the beginning, the last half is a slower ride, with some sentimental cheese thrown in.</span></div>

It was up there with Terminator II, except it was parasitic, acid-blooded monsters against lead-slinging US Marines and Sigourney Weaver on some distant galactic rock.<br />
<br />
Adult Swim's stop-action series <i>Robot Chicken</i> supposes how an alien's acid-blood might be not be a helpful defense tactic.<br />

<blockquote>
IF you can keep your head when all about you<br />
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,<br />
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,<br />
But make allowance for their doubting too;<br />
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,<br />
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,<br />
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,<br />
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: </blockquote>
<blockquote>
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;<br />
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;<br />
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster<br />
And treat those two impostors just the same;<br />
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken<br />
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,<br />
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,<br />
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: </blockquote>
<blockquote>
If you can make one heap of all your winnings<br />
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,<br />
And lose, and start again at your beginnings<br />
And never breathe a word about your loss;<br />
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew<br />
To serve your turn long after they are gone,<br />
And so hold on when there is nothing in you<br />
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!' </blockquote>
<blockquote>
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,<br />
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,<br />
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,<br />
If all men count with you, but none too much;<br />
If you can fill the unforgiving minute<br />
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,<br />
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,<br />
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!</blockquote>

<br />
The woman below appeared to be heading off to work around 8:50am this morning on Newton Street. Nothing about her stood out at first. But then I thought, "Is she missing her pants? A skirt maybe?"<br />
<br />

<br />
Upon closer inspection, something was indeed out of place. I was speaking with my friend, Jonah on the phone and said, "Uh man, I need a second opinion on something I'm seeing here. I'm going to SMS you an image right now and give me your honest point of view." --which he did.<br />
<br />

He concurred that this woman appeared to have on no pants. I checked my rear view mirror from about 1/2 half a block away, and yes, that pink polka dot pattern was indeed showing in the front too.ChrisBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06716835269763639830noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071541551426744562.post-74709462561557609622011-09-27T18:25:00.002-04:002011-09-27T18:26:13.789-04:00Dude...always stoked by the New Yorker cartoons. <br />
