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?
cant watch it
If you ever even been near that situation, it will tear your heart out. Two hearts broken, two lives wasted.
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.
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.
I miss the way that things used to be.

the intelligence of songwriters

well, there's a superior intelligence at work in that video.... i'm like a caveman that's just figured out how to scratch a hole in the ground and plant a bean, stumbling onto an airconditioned tractor and an eight-bottom plow. i dont understand it the intelligence of songwriters

i knew better, the road was too narrow to turn around, but i tried anyhow, and the front wheels of the van wound up in the ditch... i thought i could probably back out of it, but the van kept going, slowly, and dislodged a log from the retaining wall in front of the house where the store was. the woman said, "get those surveyors' stakes and put tape up around the scene." and we did that... she moved the store to its winter quarters in the mall and did a land-office business. the group session was a failure, the shrink disgraced, and the group left and scattered in relief, except she stayed with me... i told her to take her mask off, a boutique thing, custom designed in red, white and blue, over her forehead and eyes, expensive....she peeled it off and started crying, and said, "i'm not wrecked! ...i want you, stephen!" as if that proved something, and my heart sank. the storekeeper said, "it's good fishing in that riffle below johnoson's hole." and i woke up

i'd sit in the car all night, watching the city disintegrate and thinking about the eight or ten airliners cued up for landing. tons of urea, unguarded except for me, in one of those gravity-feed tanks on stilts... and enough spilled on the ground to blow up... whatever. searching the airwaves for "dont leave home", trying to figure it out.

there's a celtic tune called "road to lisdoonvarna"... i cant find a decent version of it. it's a powerful tune when it's not being played by college pansies in suits, and you got to wonder why it's being ignored... probably one of those "jews vs druids" things. at least the druids have had enough sense to hide out until the oily dust settles.

That is good, it has real soul. Strange though seeing some Asians playing an Irish melody. there's a jig called "road to lisoonvarna"

i was standing on the platform, waiting for a train, dressed in a cheap white shirt, cheap black pants and a black tophat. the kind of clothes worn by temp food service workers in las vegas. the engine had a ledge on the front, narrow, but you could stand on it... no handholds, and the ledge was so narrow that center of gravity was a problem... the train wasnt moving that fast, but as it went around a corner, i could feel the centrifugal force pulling at me, and i was afraid of falling off. then i woke up, and wondered why, in the dream, i wasnt afraid of a sudden stop, that would have pitched me off onto the tracks, where i'd be run over by the engine.
