The Monday Morning Memo

To Set the Record Straight:
The guys who “don’t give a damn about any trumpet-playin’ band” in Sultans of Swing (1978) were “dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles,” an affliction from which the wizard and I have never suffered. Having never been thus attired at any time in our lives, we are free to love both Sultans of Swing and “trumpet playin’ bands.” I’m sharing this with you just to avoid any confusion. – Indy

Random Quote:

“When these islands were discovered the population was about 400,000, but the white man came and brought various complicated diseases, and education, and civilization, and all sorts of calamities, and consequently the population began to drop off with commendable activity. Forty years ago they were reduced to 200,000, and the educational and civilizing facilities being increased they dwindled down to 55,000, and it is proposed to send a few more missionaries and finish them. It isn’t the education or civilization that has settled them; it is the imported diseases, and they have all got the consumption and other reliable distempers, and to speak figuratively, they are retiring from business pretty fast. When they pick up and leave we will take possession as lawful heirs.”

- Mark Twain, speaking of the proposed US annexation of the Sandwich Islands in 1866
