Here's an example of what's going in music:

1. Austin, Texas: Texas = Lone Star State. The Sun is a Star.
   
2. Morrissey: I said 3/10/2006 about the Local Video Store that was playimg Morrissey, which is for Scott who listens to that stuff
   
3. Smith:
   1. I said 3/19/2006 about the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"
      
   2. I said 3/12/2006 that Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is a Davis movie
4. Johnny Marr wanted to end it:
   1. Jo-H/NN-y has that NN-y for the Valentine(NN/2x14) Male(Y)
      
   2. Ma/RR = Mother(Ma) Rod Rodillon(RR)
      
   3. M/ARR = 5/29(M/13/Rhode Island) IRR(ARR)
5. "Politically the world is ridiculous," he said. "But there's still a lot of beautiful things ... Nature saves us, nature calms us down": I'm Mother Nature
   

The first book I read out of order was Book #5 of the Incarnations of Immortality, which was "Being a Green Mother" by Piers Anthony. Scott lent me the rest of the books.

The Smiths turned down $5 million reunion offer
By Barry A. Jeckell



AUSTIN, Texas (Billboard) - Pioneering U.K. modern rock band the Smiths turned down a $5 million offer to reunite at the upcoming Coachella Valley Arts & Music Festival in southern California, former frontman Morrissey said Thursday.

His revelation, during a public interview at the South By Southwest Music & Media Conference in Austin, triggered gasps from the audience. When journalist David Fricke asked if he had considered it, Morrissey replied, "No, because money doesn't come into it," a response that drew applause from the crowd.

Of the critically adored act, which broke up in the late 1980s, Morrissey said, "It was a fantastic journey. And then it ended. I didn't feel we should have ended. I wanted to continue. (Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr) wanted to end it. And that was that."

Discussing his forthcoming album, "Ringleader of the Tormentors," due April 4 via Attack/Sanctuary, the notoriously gloomy singer/songwriter admitted that he's writing songs from a good place these days.

"I'm just seeing lots of joyful things in life, which I didn't in the past," he said, adding slyly, "Which maybe you noticed.

"Politically the world is ridiculous," he said. "But there's still a lot of beautiful things ... Nature saves us, nature calms us down."

Morrissey will first support the album with a European tour that includes a six-week run of sold-out shows in the United Kingdom. A North American leg is also expected.

Coachella, which takes place April 29-30 about 120 miles east of Los Angeles, will feature such acts as Depeche Mode, Tool and Madonna.
