broken glass

Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread  

this handsome beetle-looking bug is flitting in an uneven six or eight foot circle, low, over the gravel. ...iridescent, pale blue, quick, looking for something, maybe.

chased by a dirt-colored salamander-looking creature with eight legs that branch off into two sets of feet, each... about three times the size of the beetle... following very quickly, very closely... i thought the salmander was trying to catch the beetle to eat him, at first.

but they'd stop and huddle for a few seconds, then go off round the circle again.

then i woke up.

we have elections every so often...

maybe every so often we should have a culling.

what would be a reasonable interval between cullings?

every twenty years?

would an imminent culling keep the assholes in line?

groundresonance  posted on  2010-03-28   17:37:52 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply  

TJ suggested a culling/revolution every twenty years.

We are way, way, way, overdue.

Lod  posted on  2010-03-28   17:43:31 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply  

the judges of the culling would have to be incorruptible.

it always comes back to that... who's gonna be god?

i guess if you let things degenerate far enough, it gets so bad that nobody has to play god.

Dixie
by Daniel Decatur Emmett of Mount Vernon, Ohio

Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten, (Alt Original: Cinnamon seed and sandy bottom,)
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.

In Dixie Land, where I was born in,
early on one frosty mornin',
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.

I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I’ll take my stand
to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie

Optional Verses

Ole Missus marry "Will the weaver"
Willum was a gay deceiver
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land

But when he put his arm around 'er,
He smiled fierce as a forty pounder,
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land

His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But that did not seem to grieve 'er
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land

Ole Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land

Now here's a health to the next ole Missus
An' all the gals that want to kiss us;
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land

But if you want to drive 'way sorrow
Come and hear this song tomorrow
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land

There's buckwheat cakes and Injun batter,
Makes you fat or a little fatter
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land

Then hoe it down and scratch your gravel,
To Dixie's Land I'm bound to travel,
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land

What fun!

This was actually in our 5th grade Michigan song book when I was in elementary school. We used to love to belt it out. 'Course we had to do the obligatory "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" just to keep things on the up & up. Know what I mean??

My favorite lines are

But when he put his arm around 'er,
He smiled fierce as a forty pounder,

That stanza was scrubbed out of our version if I remember correctly.

I see psyops everywhere.

I miss the way that things used to be.

In most all ways.

Not that they were perfect, but they were not so hideously corrupt, and in your face about it.

buckwheat may bring this festering boil to a much needed lancing.

could be things were never the way they used to be.

could be that this country's been so fat, right from the start, that we could afford to overlook the bullshit.

poverty stricken ideas... that's me.

i was so desperate to escape college that i joined the marine corps to go to flight school in 1964.

if i'd had one single lucid moment, i might have, instead of joining the marine corps, moved to someplace where i might have been able to play with people i could have learned from...

then comes the hard part... what obligation do you have to play to entertain people?

is playing itself enough to please whatever it is that gives the impulse to play in the first place?

talking about dixie...

i was on a fire contract in tennessee, and there are so many good players out in the sticks there that apparently have no ambition at all about their music.

maybe the music is the end... maybe that's all you need to do... maybe you dont need recordings or television or anything.

maybe the audience is something unfathomable.

i should have said, "i've watched it, and i wont watch it again. it seems to be commercialization of something that, in any decent society, would not be commercialized."

that's probably why i cant watch or listen to the chicks' "travelin' soldier" anymore.

Not exactly sure what you mean by commercialized.

If song, or any other product or service, is widely liked, bought, and supported by the public, what's wrong with that?

Isn't that what we're (supposed) to be about?

If you recorded, and sold a world-wide hit, what would be wrong with that?

I'd salute you.

that song (immediately above) has started me thinking about the intelligence of songwriters...

the upshot being, i dont think i'm smart enough to write a song like that, and i might not even be smart enough to learn a song like that.

i wish i knew where that song came from.
