audio review : Killer Wants To Go To College ( song ) … Paul Simon
This, the second Killer Wants To Go To College of two from Paul Simon’s Capeman; he did a similar thing on the Hearts And Bones album; should’ve been titled Killer Wants To Go On TV as there are no direct school references here. It’s the better version though. Simon’s vocal melodies; he’s playing the role of Salvador Agron; sound stellar over the 1950s honky-tonk groove.

video review : Jéssica Andrade versus Mackenzie Dern at UFC 295
I don’t know about some of these stoppages. Mackenzie Dern was still in this bout when the referee decided to call it. Granted she’d been knocked down four times and was probably on her way to unconsciousness, but she should’ve been given the chance to go out on her shield. Both fighters are going thru divorce; I’d like to think I’m the reason for Dern’s; but, based on her fists of fury, Andrade is more scorn.

Van Leeuwen French Ice Cream : Cranberry Crumble
This “limited edition” (fall) Ice Cream, deemed French because it’s made with “twice as many egg yolks as standard ice cream”, is surprisingly delicious at the start. That assumes your first spoonful doesn’t include any Cranberry; the main ingredient it would be better without. This could be a Crumble classic, in other words, if it were swirled with a better-tasting fruit like strawberries or peaches.

audio review : Trailways Bus ( song ) … Paul Simon ( featuring Sara Ramirez )
This isn’t just the best song from Paul Simon’s Capeman play and companion album, it’s one of the best he’s ever made. It’s sang mostly from the perspective of character (Saint) Lazarus; Simon also covers the roles of Sal and a “border patrol” officer while guest Sara Ramirez plays Wahzinak; and the vocals are wonderful.
That goes for both the melodies and the lyrics, apparently co-authored by poet Derek Walcott. “He can’t leave his fears behind; he recalls each fatal thrust,” one line goes in reference to Salvador Agron, who was convicted as a youth for killing two peers with a knife; “Screams carried by the wind; phantom figures in the dust.”
