Oh Please Not That Again

Just watch this. It’s only 48 seconds long. He says he didn’t say these things, but how much more explicit can you get? I get people knocking me all the time because I went so sappy over Obama last year. You know, telling me I was a fool to believe anything he said, because they [...]

Could it be any more bizarre? What did we do to deserve this?? Oh yeah, right… Be that as it may, I say keep your eyes on McCain. Whenever I see a video of the guy, I can’t believe how warped he is from the pressure of all the lying. He needs a new career [...]

Here, try this: Well, that was a night, all right. That’s “John-John” by the original Zoo Pilots at our one and only paid gig — funded by a Kent County, MD Arts Council grant, if you can believe that — at Washington College in, uh… [ponder] 1984? ’85?? It says right here at my audio [...]

Oh, what a grand few days… We look at another place I know I won’t like — I’m one of those who know — and I’m not overwhelmed. Expecting the deal to crumble in the end regardless, I stay on my best behavior and pretty much keep silent. (Mistake!) But right away, in the absence [...]

I know, I know, but we have to call it something. I was having the usual midweek ZoukFest freak-out. All that exposure to transcendental musicianship, wow! Or oy… On the one hand it was like swallowing holy razor blades, while on the other hand, the antidote for same. At first I started auguring in, like [...]

in Obama, Oh Please Not That Again, Personal, Spirit

That’s what I can’t stand. As soon as someone comes along who offers to do things differently, who speaks to me like I’m a grownup, who’s tapped into a universal desire for positive change, then come the killers of hope. Every so-called “realist” comes out of the woodwork, saying things like: It’s a dream! You’re [...]

I can hardly believe it: my wife and I have a chance to get away. People tell me you have to get out of Taos every so often, for reasons that would never be apparent to you unless you stayed here over an extended period of time, and they’re right. This is Taos, and everything [...]

A few days back I wrote in the comments: Before this election season, I was in a psychological/spiritual space where those things didn’t affect me in the same way, and then I got sucked in again! Damn, damn, damn. Now I have to go back and do it all over again, just so I can [...]

in Oh Please Not That Again, Taos

This may become a series. I sure as hell hope not. Right now the number one priority is finding a studio for my wife’s two pianos. We might even rent a place just for them, instead of making this an all-in-one affair. We’re reading ads, hitting Craigslist all the time, driving by at least two [...]

Posting will be light to non-existent until the metaphysics improve. Indeed, saying anything at all would be stupid and dangerous. I’m sure you understand.
