heard it through the grapevine
the night they drove old dixie down
artist Okna Tsahan Zam song title unknown thanks to gengis gandhi
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.

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"

in the best of all neil young dreams, we'd be able to trash earth, and still have enough energy left to ship billions of people to new worlds. aint gonna happen i was lyin; in a burnt out basement with the full moon in my eyes

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.

it used to be that maybe one line in a song would convince you that the songwriter knew what was going on, but they had to disguise the song... it had to be a love song the songwriters, in those days, were as young as taylor swift is now. i dont want to jump to any conclusions, but . if we're terminally hitched to jewish philosophy, we're losers seems unlikely that thoughtful songwriters are unaware of that.
#171. To: All (#170)
it's always the same old thing, though. a songwriter doesnt really know what a song is about... ever
#172. To: All (#171) (Edited)
i guess the problem is this: whatever taylor swift is saying, you tend to believe her. is it one of those voices, or is it the intelligence behind the voice? but then you dont know what she's saying . what if she's thought about all this? what if she's put one over on the record componies? or worse, what if the record companies know what a bad idea israel was?
#173. To: All (#172) (Edited)
of course, if you expect to lose, if you need to lose to validate your philosophy...
#174. To: All (#173) (Edited)
it's all denaiable, of course "hey, i'm only a kid, i dont know about this stuff... i couldnt possibly write a song about the 'never again'"
