Yet Another Historical Hunk

So, it feels like these guys are all I have been posting lately. I promise hunks are not all I think about. (Maybe they are.)

But I couldn't pass up this opportunity to beautify the blog. BEHOLD, Bruce Springsteen.

Watch these both, okay? It would be a good use of your time, because the music is excellent as well.
Also, I am pretty sure I am going to purchase this poster so that it will hang in our room next year, right beside Bob Dylan and his rainbow hair. Whaddya say.

I've been researching things you can do in Scotland, and this is stop # 1 you should take. Remember on the way home from Provo earlier this year I was trying to tell your family about how the FATHER OF GEOLOGY is from Scotland? I was right. His name was James Hutton.  Here is a nice little excerpt from a website (emphasis added):

Accorded Site of Special Scientific Interest status in 1961, the Siccar Point unconformity (known as Hutton’s Unconformity) is an internationally famous place of geological pilgrimage. It is of great historical importance in the development of the science of geology.
In 1788, James Hutton first understood the significance of the geological structure at Siccar Point. Although not the first unconformity he had observed, it is certainly the most spectacular. The near vertical Llandovery (Silurian) age greywackes and shales are covered unconformably by gently dipping Upper Devonian or Lower Carboniferous red breccia and sandstones. (Wow! Upper devonian and Lower carboniferous red breccia!!)

Stop number 2: I heard about this on NPR while driving to Moab.

Will and Grace would love this!!

Historical Hunk, Third (Fourth?) Edition

I know you don't agree, but I'm posting his face all up in here anyway:

Pete Townshend. He's not really attractive, but there's something just very interesting about his face. I can't explain (Ha ha).If you're not into huge noses, perhaps you'd go for the baby-faced, puppy dog-eyed likes of Keith Moon:

Or the ordinary but undeniable good looks of Roger Daltrey:

I'm afraid John Entwistle just doesn't have much going for him, but I'll include him just so he doesn't feel left out.

Band Names

Ok. We already know that I have a hard time staying...focused during church. I used to read the chapter headings to the Old Testament, but my selected activity this week was to search for band names in the Bible Dictionary. Here are a few that I have been thinking about.

Mt. Sinai
Solomon's Porch
Son of Man
Abner
Advocate (can you tell I looked at the s's and a's?)

Side note: the Apocrypha is chalkful (CHALKFUL!) of great band names. For example
Bel and the Dragon (I feel like this is already a band name and that is why I think it is so cool). The purpose of this story is to ridicule idolatry.
Book of Tobit
Book of Judith. Describes the murder of the Assyrian general Holofernes by Judith, a rich and beautiful widow of Betulia.
Book of Baruch
The History of Susanna: Daniel vindicates a young woman names Susanna against false charges.


So what do you think? My personal favorite is Bel and the Dragon.

Ali. needs. to. go. to. open. mic. night.
