ALICE COOPER - "Clones (We're All)"

From the great Alice Cooper's early-'80s "New Wave" period:



And yes, I had the album... FLUSH THE FASHION. Oh, and I still have a button that says

ONE
LONE
CLONE

on a hot pink background. I keep it with my leather ties.

747 landing at St Martins

That would scare the tan right off me.

And here's the cockpit view:

Camera on a sushi bar conveyor

This is just the coolest. Someone placed their video camera on a Tokyo (?) sushi bar's conveyor late one night... it's an incredibly fascinating slice of Japanese night life... check out all the different types of night owls:

And of course, now I'm hungry.
