Watched Resnais's "Night and Fog" last night. Just over 30 min., dense with memory and import. There is a track in history that leads to Auschwitz just as surely and directly as the iron tracks that delivered victims to its gates. The US is now at a station along this track. Not the first either.

Sad news for Hawkwind fans - Simon House, whose amazing keyboard and violin playing was a defining part of the band's post-Space Ritual sound, has died. Let's also remember his first band, the terrific High Tide, and his time in David Bowie's live band (pic - Yuji Kaida)
