So, Which One Most Needs The Money?

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 12
COMIC BOOK HISTORY: ALOUD at the Central Library presents an awesome-sounding program for comic book nerds, fangirls and boys and history buffs alike in The Secret History of Wonder Woman. Jill Lepore, a Harvard historian and a New Yorker staff writer, discusses the private papers of Wonder Woman’s creator, William Moulton Marston (who also invented the lie detector). Lepore will be in conversation with Alex Cohen, co-host of KPCC's Take Two, on the character’s origins and her place in the annals of 20th century feminism. Of course, there’s already a standby list, so get there super early if you want a chance at snagging a seat. 7:15 pm at the Central Library. Free.

MUSIC TALK: Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page is in conversation with Chris Cornell on Wednesday at 8:30 pm at The Theatre at Ace Hotel to celebrate the publication of Page’s official photographic autobiography (the first one ever by a member of Led Zep). They’ll be revisiting Page’s life, music and untold stories. Tickets are pricey ($125+ fees), but include the book.
Not inspiring, but irksome as hell. If I were half a man I'd get off my lard ass & punch or kick (or both) Page somewhere in his greedy anatomy.

  1. Never a Zep fan, huge Cornell fan - Temple of the Dog is a remarkable work, Superunknown and Down on the Upside are an incredible back-to-back works, full of precious memories. Fuck a bunch o' Jimmy Page, but cool that it's Chris Cornell..

  2. The free one will probably be more interesting.

  3. Free & Not Lecture Editor:
    Always amazed that mikey (who, I s'pect, has a couple yrs. on me) continued to go for new music after (in my humble opinion) everyone ran out of ideas & even semi-popular music turned to poop sometime in the mid-80s.

    Not that I'm a big LZ fan either: They didn't run out of ideas, they straight up stole them, & not just from colored folk.

    Maybe Cornell's getting most of the $$.

    Dr. Wonder Woman was quite kinky; I'm sure that'll be better.
