Famous People Blogs

Now that I've entered the blogosphere, I'm fascinated by other peoples' blogs, and intrigued by famous people who blog. I was startled to discover that David Byrne, from the Talking Heads, keeps a blog, and I get to see what movies he goes to (apparently he was quite taken by Q'oriana Kilcher in The New World, and that he recently visited San Francisco. It's interesting reading his musings.

I wonder then if other qualities besides selfhood that we think of as being unique to ourselves and to human being in general are also present in the animal kingdom? If animals and even insects have “personalities” then do they also have morality? A sense of right and wrong? It’s not so crazy. Right and wrong could be notions that lend an evolutionary advantage and foster social well-being, and therefore survival of the group. So why shouldn’t animals have these principles too?

I was thrilled to find a "blog" by Jeff Bridges (whom I've loved ever since "Starman")which is, wildly, all scribbles and colors and drawings. It's cool to look at.

Rosie O'Donnell has a fantastic blog that is written in this great, haiku-esque form.
