Callas-fan-in-chief

November 4, 2008 has been the happiest day of my life so far. I did not think that the United States would elect a black President in my lifetime.

(While I know that it makes for bad karma, I take joy in the purple rage that President Barack Obama—cool, intelligent, magnanimous—stirs up in racists and mouth-breathers. And it’s true: Pretty much all of the people vexed by President Obama are filthy racist cockroaches.)

Along with his many other virtues, President Obama is a Maria Callas fan. He said of his iPod:

I’ve got Jay-Z on there. I’ve got Frank Sinatra on there. I’ve got Maria Callas on there…

Hail to the Chief!

Re-visioning Callas and word of mouth

One of my favorite bloggers is the best-selling author Gretchen Rubin. In the past, I might have been envious of her success in a really toxic way, but now my attitude is: Why not learn from the best?

So, going forward, I will celebrate word-of-mouth day once a month and ask, with gratitude and humility, that you help spread the word about Re-visioning Callas. You might:

• Forward the link to this blog (http://www.revisioningcallas.com/blog) to a fellow Callas lover
• Follow me on Twitter (@revisioncallas)
• Link to a Twitter update
• Link to this site in your Facebook status update
• Become a fan on Facebook!

In the meantime, I need to acquire a leopardskin cloche just like the one Maria Callas is wearing in the photo!
