  Across the planet there are bright spots believed to be clouds of methane ice. “Nobody really knows what these things are,” said Patrick Irwin, a planetary physicist at Oxford University. “They seem to come and go, a bit like cirrus clouds on Earth.” https://t.co/ObPORBYFNq — Jack Vaughan (@JackIVaughan) September 27, 2022

IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion ’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth. pic.twitter.com/7bXipPkjWD — NASA (@NASA) September 26, 2022 It will take at least a couple of days to tell if the Deflect Asteroid Redirect Test mission succeeded in changing the course of the cosmos.  Earth-borne telescopes will observe. Flashy Gordon is prepared to visit the space if called on.  

  Alphaville - Godard pic.twitter.com/9Ahom89TJK — Jack Vaughan (@JackIVaughan) September 25, 2022 The assisted passing of director  passing of Jean Luc Godard caused me to revisit his fantastic 1965 film, Alphaville . One of my favorites. A science fiction film that made a better shot at seeing the future than most. It's sometimes slapstick episodic collection of modern architecture, noir film riffs, and poetic dialog - some garnered from the work of Borges - is nowhere else surpassed. Godard considered calling the movie "Tarzan vs. IBM." The world in which I grew up was the future, funnily enough, in retrospect. Alphaville is a city that central figure Lemmy Caution goes to, perhaps to destroy. A technocrat leader has taken over there and human feeling is suppressed. Here is some dialog delivered voice-over in parts drolly in the style of Bogart's Maltese Falcon. Lemmy played by Eddie Constantine is in conversation with skidrower Henri (played by familiar Hollyw...

It proclaimed Benny Goodman as #1, though I beg to differ. Get back in line, Mr. Goodman. Sidney Bechet built that car, detailed that car, and drove that car before you ever polished your commendable licks. Goodman’s gr...

M y brother took me along to see Tom Jones at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston. Not exactly my kind of music – but Tom has been adding gospel and blues greats, as well as songs by Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan to his recordings in recent years, and it was actually a stone groove mostly. As a singer he still has it – he sings from his chest like an opera singer. He really engages the audience with his eyes, and they love him. His band was really an accomplished bunch – basically a rock band, they used accordion and synth to fill in where there might have been a horn or string section, The guitarists could play blues, twang, anything. The opera thing is real for Tom – he draws these little dramas. The centerpiece was “Delilah” which is like a Marty Robbins thing (actually it is also like Dylan’s One More Cup of Coffee. It is pretty corny (I think Mojo Nixon or Horton Heath did a raveup satire of Delilah) but it was great fun to sing along. It’s a murderous tale. Like Hey Joe. But ‘Not for Wor...
