the most aro book i have ever read

on a total whim, I borrowed and read The New I Do by Vicki Larson and Susan Pease Gadoua.

Does this story have an aromantic character?

This is nonfiction, so no: it's not a story with characters. It was also published in 2014; polyamory makes an appearance, but the authors do not seem to be aware of the aromantic nor asexual communities.

Was it a good read?

Absolutely fascinating. I wonder how much bias is in the presented data ("infidelity" is consistently quoted at 70% until the Open Marriages chapter, where studies show it at 60-70% or others find it as low as 25%. THAT'S A HUGE RANGE.) But, since the statistics are sort of beside the point... it's a solid discussion of marriage for reasons other than "love."

I mean, listen to these chapter titles:

Starter Marriage: Trying On Marriage to See if it Fits

Companionship Marriage: You've Got a Friend

Parenting Marriage: Truly Planned Parenthood

Living Alone Together: Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

Covenant Marriage: Extreme Marriage Makeovers

Safety Marriage: Money Can Buy You Love and Happiness

Open Marriage: Why Monogamy?

Also consider the blurb that sells it:

If half of all cars bought in America each year broke down, there would be a national uproar. But when people suggest that maybe every single marriage doesn’t look like the next and isn’t meant to last until death, there’s nothing but a rash of proposed laws trying to force it to do just that.

It has so many aro vibes.

Anything else?

This isn't a story; it's a list of some possible marriage arrangements, with added stories from (a few) people who have tried them, and things to consider... both in making the marriage work, and deciding if it's right for you.

And it's just full of aro quotes like "A purpose-driven marriage is less precarious than one that's emotion-based." Here's another:

Amazingly enough, a 1950s model of family persists today even though so few of us live in those sorts of families, even though we have so many more options than men and women had back then, as sociologist Stephanie Coontz has so exhaustively detailed in her books, including Marriage, a History and [another title] The Way We Never Were.

Wow. I can't really argue with that.

Special mention: the book cover has a yellow heart motif, the color of friendship. Absolutely beautiful.

Today LIVE! James Lee Stanley has been my guest numerous times over the last decade-plus (including the Michael Nesmith-produced Women Who Write in  Big Sur), as a performer and in conversation. And, we’re good friends. Always crazy fun, James is a big man with huge talent. We’ll be chatting and he’ll be singing. Win/Win! 

James Lee’s shared the stage with everyone from Bonnie Raitt to Robin Williams, Dionne Warwick to Steven Wright, Art Garfunkel to Robin Trower; sometimes spending as much as 300 days a year on the road.

He’s released 35 CD’s, recording the 36th, and 37, an instrumental, is in the works;  three are duet CD’s with Peter Tork; A Beachwood Christmas with Tom Paxton, Peter Tork, and Pamala Stanley; All Wood and Stones-a duet CD with John Batdorf; All Wood and Doors-a duet CD with Cliff Eberhardt, All Wood and Stones II with John Batdorf, and All Wood and Led with Dan Navarro, as well as the original cast recording of Straight From the Heart - The Musical, which he produced, performed in and wrote the book, lyrics, and music.

James Lee wrote the Top Five hit, Coming Out of Hiding, as well as the hits I Don’t Want To Talk About It; Plenty of Reason; All I Ever Wanted; and Make It Tonight.; scored the Emmy Award Winning CATHY Specials for Prime Time CBS-TV, the Cable Ace Award-Winning Tom Parks HBO Special, and the Award-Winning Tom Parks Diabetes Documentary; has produced the artists' Mike Pinder/Moody Blues, Nicolette Larson, and Peter Tork, amongst many others.

He also spent five and a half years on the TV Show, StarTrek Deep Space Nine, as various aliens including the singing Klingon.

The documentary, The Opening Act – The Extraordinary Journey of James Lee Stanley directed by documentarian Gary J Katz (Badfinger, Humble Pie, Steve Marriott, Manassas), received a Peoples Choice Award,  was in the London Lift Off Film Festival, and was accepted into the LA, Chicago, and Atlanta Film Festivals, awaiting judging. 

Last October, just after our last visit,  James Lee Fell off his roof, broke 9 ribs and  2 vertebrae, had a concussion, and then spinal fusion surgery.  He did a concert two weeks after the surgery.  WHAT? His,  Another Radio Show on Folkmusicnotebook.com is in its third year. 

I adore this man and his music… he wants you to know, his hair still hasn’t grown back. I’ll happily take him as is. He’s got “it” with or without it.

Any movie that stars at least two Marvel characters is officially one of the many alternate universes Doctor Strange had mentioned.

Here are just a few examples:

[kristinstoked]

1. who’s your celebrity crush?

I have so many! But umm.... Kristin Stokes, obviously, comes first. I also really really really love Brie Larson and I guess my not-so celebrity but still a slightly well-known person crush is Vicki Manser, who understudies at Six the Musical on West End.

Oh, and Duncan Laurence. Because who doesn’t love Duncan Laurence? Especially if he wins ESC 2019 for your country for the first time in 45 years

Unusual asks!
