gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.

you know i’ve often thought that being at a really good grindcore show had the unexplicable feeling of being at easter mass…i think you just captured that feeling.

i just broke a long spell of not seeing live music by going to the robeson theater which is actually a converted gothic-ish church. we saw butch morris conducting the nublu orchestra and the arkestra. i wasn’t expecting much from the arkestra because the guys are like 80 years old now. i always loved john gilmore and was wondering what they would sound like without him because those are some of my favorite recordings. then i hear a piercing squeal followed by duck calls and a low melody- and there he was- marshal allen! music in churches is good. i think son of ravyn’s brother is subbing for me on monday ’cause i have to work all weekend.

the music of your catholic school days sounds better than mine. I'm remembering Pat Benatar, Super Freak, Huey Lewis and an "up with people" type band that played our gymnasium.

Oh wait I just remembered the dances which were pretty square affairs but inevitably infiltrated by break dancers. That was really cool. I remember really liking Kraftwerk's Tour de France. I had parachute pants...for about a week.

Anyway this was great.

Now I have Zappa lyrics in my head...

Damn. I really just wanted to share this Vonnegut quote and not rabble rouse patriots. I so devolve daily, away from acceptable behavior.

"But no matter how bad things may get for me, the music will still be wonderful. My epitaph, should I ever need one, God forbid: ''The only proof he ever needed of the existence of God was music.''

"when someone holds your arms down tight against the sides of your body for a few minutes while you push them out and then they let go and your arms feel like feathers."

Life would appear to be quite inspiring when you put it to pen and paper. I felt like I visited one of the many services I always wanted to be a part of but never came close, when I read this.
