Songs in the Key of Z

Outsider musicians can be the product of damaged DNA, alien abduction, drug fry, demonic possession, or simply sheer obliviousness. This book profiles dozens of outsider musicians, both prominent and obscure—figures such as The Shaggs, Syd Barrett, Tiny Tim, Jandek, Captain Beefheart, Daniel Johnston, Harry Partch, and The Legendary Stardust Cowboy—and presents their strange life stories along with photographs, interviews, cartoons, and discographies. About the only things these self-taught artists have in common are an utter lack of conventional tunefulness and an overabundance of earnestness and passion. But, believe it or not, they’re worth listening to, often outmatching all contenders for inventiveness and originality. A CD featuring songs by artists profiled in the book is also available.

“Bravo to Dr. Sydney Walker. He has written a masterful book for current and prospective mental health consumers.

Cher rages against Benghazi ‘witch hunt’; Sneers at Rep. Chaffetz

http://twitter.com/#!/cher/status/333820678526615552

Sigh. Seeking truth and justice is a “witch hunt,” according to noted expert Cher.

Cher once again took to Twitter to offer up her oh-so-insightful political commentary. By insightful, we of course mean incomprehensible and delusional. Cher tossed out that gem in response to this:

@cher there four sad moms lost sons in Benghazi,Obama, Clinton, allies keep lying. CNN/ABC/CBS heads have relatives at White Hs #thoughts?

— Peace&JusticeLady (@PeaceLibLady) May 13, 2013

Bingo. Perhaps Cher should talk to Pat Smith, mom of the late Sean Smith, who was killed in Benghazi. As Twitchy reported, Pat Smith recently wished Hillary Clinton a happy Mother’s Day by saying, “She has her child and I don’t have mine. Because of her.“

But, you know, truth doesn’t matter to Cher. Reality, it’s so hard.

R-UTAH,WHICH PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE,4 CUTTING FUNDS 2 SAFEGUARD EMBASSY SECURITY !The PARTY Who Cut Meals 4 ppl,Who Only Get 1 MEAL A DAY

— Cher(@cher) May 13, 2013

Ah, she has Rep. Chaffetz (R-Utah) in her unintelligible sights now. Maybe he’ll soon warrant being called a “creature from the nether regions,” like Sen. Cruz.

Twitter users graciously help Cher with some reality lessons.
