Our skies are so orange. A word that does not rhyme. Orange is a sky that does not sleep. Life passes though another full moon and, this one, eclipsed. If you are reading this know that you have passed through some heavy duty stuff and that all is well on the rocky road ahead. Tuesday, June 25, 2002
Here are the lyrics to another song I just can't get enough of recently: covered by The Corrs and Bono it is a Ryan Adams' song called :
"When The Stars Go Blue" Dancin' where the stars go blue Dancin' where the evening fell Dancin' in your wooden shoes In a wedding gown Dancin' out on 7th street Dancin' through the underground Dancin' little marionette Are you happy now? Where do you go when you're lonely Where do you go when you're blue Where do you go when you're lonely I'll follow you When the stars go blue Laughing with your pretty mouth Laughing with your broken eyes Laughing with your lover's tongue In a lullaby Where do you go when you're lonely Where do you go when you're blue Where do you go when you're lonely I'll follow you When the stars go blue The stars go blue, stars go blue [ www.azlyrics.com ]
Earth Mother
I can not hear this song enough lately. It is from the Paul Kantner/Grace Slick album entitled, SUNFIGHTER. Tonight I dedicate it to the firefighters hard at work all over the West . Earth Mother Earth mother your children are here High and feeling dandy Earth mother your children are here Ripped on coke and candy Once the earth was a garden It gave us all we need Then it grew so barren All because of greed Once the air was for breathing And clouds caused rain to fall Then it filled with poisons Strangling us all Chorus Water was once for drinking And giving life to the land Then it was used for cooling The machinery of man Chorus It's not your fault you're ill now It's the men who went before Your children are at your side now Don't worry anymore Your children are your salvation They see your life as their own They recognize no nation They dance around your throne Dancing in the meadows To the sound of a living tree In and out of the shadows Laughing with the breeze And here is a great place for Jefferson Airplane lyrics!
The sun goes down like a big red ball...the old Laurie Anderson line hits hard these past few weeks in New Mexico as fires rage all around. We've had daily hits of LA haze and asthmatic air. Not the usual blue, blue skies.
Tonight, five episodes of Scrubs play one after the other. It is a silly doktor show but one which we caught toward the season's end...If you missed it on FREETV during its season...catch it on the re-runs. I really enjoyed watching the taped GERMANY/USA soccer match. Couldn't get up at five a.m but on tape just as good. The USA team did really well . Germany goes on to beat Korea. Soccer is a great game for short fast people like myself. I played in High School and for one year in College with a man named Kyle Rote, Jr. Friday, June 21, 2002
Two dear friends lost their thirteen year old good dog named,Franny this week.
It is the time of loss. Be it pets or parents. The time of loss is at hand... Hellbound Train by Savoy Brown is playing on a cd I downloaded illegally out there on the internet on this program called Limewire. The weird thing about that song is that it can end at any second. I was a dj when it first came out. You'd hike up the vinyl and suddenly after 7 or 8 minutes the song would just stop. It was tough with vinyl back inthe dayz... Limewire is a Mac thing. Apple Stock took a HUGE dive this week btw...and most other stocks too took a spin in the here's looking at you kid in the basement sort of approach to life MY favorite song of the moment is THE CORRS and BONEHEADE doing When the Stars turn blue...That and Mister Tambourine Man.

Summer in the City
Greatest phone message of summer came in this week from a friend on a journey with his spousal unit across the states...it went : We just saw a bear go through our campground...we are outside Lake Tahoe...listen to the snap, crackle of our campfire...Thanks for the call Wayne. As we approach the Summer Solstice, a heavy cloud of pale orange smoke hangs in the sky over our Seven Sisters volcanos on the westwern mesas of Albuquerque. The entire Southwest is ablaze at one place or another with little sign of rain . Our only 'moisture' in three months was a blast of truly golf ball size hail that blasted all the trees and fresh tomato plants in yards across town . It was strange listening to the hail as it marched across the city environs. My big head was pelted hard as I threw blankets over our recently painted truck. Sunday, June 16, 2002
Happy Father's Day...
Here are two shots of me and my Dad, Joe: He was a Marine Corps pilot in WW II ; played on the Notre Dame Varsity football team under Frank Leahey. A self-made man, he left the planet in 1999. Thursday, June 13, 2002
Tonight, Albuquerque's western sky
shows a toe nail moon and a very bright venus high over the seven sisters' volcano mesa. For a moment I think of Palestine and maybe those Alanis concert photos with the cool flags. Today's earth spins freshly chaotic and I am glad that we have passed through another dark side of the moon without exploding. I don't know about you but I have been depressed of late.

I saw the movie SLAM starring Saul Williams as Ray Joshua tonight on IFCtv. What an amazing movie.
I enjoyed it as a poet and as someone trying to make a difference in a world of by-the-book establishments . The setting is Washington , DC. Topics: feeling like the odd man out on the way to finding freedom through the endless possibility of poetry and self-expression. Unlike the main character, Ray Joshua, I am a white guy and have never been in prison. Like many though, I have visited prisons of my own making. For me, writing is my best means of escapefrom them. I have had little published success as a writer ; moreso as a poet . If you write an unpublished short story, novel or poem, does it matter that no one but you hears it? There are many prisons of my own making that I would have died in long ago, if not for self-expression through the written/spoken/performed word. And by the way, if there is anything at all totally great about Direct Tv, it is the Independent Film Channel. Came out today...It is a heavy duty Bowie Meistered cd for sure Girls and Boys. There's even a trippy cover of Neil's I've Been Waiting For You on it. A great tune from Neil's very first Album: I've been looking for a woman to save my life Not to beg or to borrow A woman with the feeling of losing once or twice Who knows how could it be tomorrow? I've been waiting for you And you've been coming to me For such a long time now Such a long time now. I've been waiting for you And you've been coming to me For such a long time now Such a long time now. Bowie does this song justice and more... Fact is I like HEATHEN a lot on a 'first listening basis' and Bowie usually takes me a bit of time to warm up to in a fully digging it fashion. Monday, June 10, 2002
omagod...there's a wildly eclipsed Sunset a happenin'
live and in color here in Nuevo Mexico right now. Undoubtedly , this same phenomena is visible in other states as well. Ya Think? Saturday, June 08, 2002
So if today or tomorrow you feel a bit lighter,
blame the astrologists who say MERCURY is out of RETROGRADE, And let me say, this Saturday night, "Hooray,dudes and dudettes!"
