gwydion* There's a thing in the extras on the Cavet Dvds where he's being interviewed by a friend. Cavet expresses his continuing astonishment that so many musicians came on his show and that they genuinely seemed to like him, inviting him out places and the like, when he knew next to nothing about popular music and was just generally rather square. His friend points out that when he had Janis Joplin on, he treated her like a lady, and that's not how most people treated her. I think he put his finger on something there. There is something old fashioned courtly about him no matter who the woman is. What fascinates me, is that this is a revelation to Cavet himself. All these little out of style polite gestures are so second nature to him, that it never occurs to him that he's doing something unusual. Things like the lighting of Bette Davis' cigarette for her are a contrast to the bits of 1970's sex and drug references in the shows, and it is part of his appeal. He's a little bit out of step with his time in a completely unselfconscious sort of way. No wonder he was able to lure in so many hard to get interviewees from the golden era of Hollywood.

* Young Avengers is really growing on me. The art is still blowing me away.
* Now that il_volpe mentioned the gunslinger thing, I'm seriously considering wearing the vests for Orycon. My worry is, it'll be too warm, especially with the rifle coat.
* It's officially a pathogen. OMG. I do not need this.
* I had a long talk with Uncle John. He's in better spirits than he's been in a long time. she's taking good care of him and it's comforting to him to be helping someone out as sort of the last thing he's going to do in this world. I made sure he knew we supported him and that what mattered to us is that he's happy.

* I got polled for the forth time in as many days today. This one appeared to be marketting research for several different ballot measures than last time. They asked me outright if I was a teabagger. I was well into the poll, when it dawned on me that while the voice i woke up with was familiar, it wasn't actually mine. By the time I'd finished, I'd realized whose it was: Robert Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes. I have no idea what I was dreaming, what with the sudden wake up and political grilling, but it must have been interesting. I remember something about grey seas and spies....
