Hey everybody,
It's that time of the month again. July Like a dog…
I sit here at 2 am in my new apartment. My beloved Jen is a sleep – we take off in the morning for the high Sierra's 20th Anniversary. We will tour together this summer playing shows with Paul from Santa Cruz to Victoria. The tour starts tomorrow and I suddenly realize it's the first – Anne Feeney's birthday, and I have not written the Whirled Retort….
Holy Cow – there is soooo much to write about in the world. Right now but I have to leave early in the morning for a tour that is not yet complete.
So have a look at the dates below and if you can fill in any open date with a house concert or get us into your local watering hole we would love to do it.
As for the whirled retort – I offer you this older piece that seems very appropriate considering the way the far right in this country is moving farther and farther right – beating each other up in their own primaries. I love it. Well I would if it didn't scare me so.
Do you think it would mean more or less oil drilling regulation? Hmmm….
I mean… what if they win?!
Well this one seems appropriate as my counter to the growing libertarian bent this country.
Here ya have it
THE MUSE AND WHIRLED RETORT
Vol. XI issue x
July 2010
Oakland, CA
So I was listening to classic rock on the radio, driving along the Pennsylvania Turn Pike in mid summer towards Pittsburgh I found myself driving through a sea of fire flies blinking in unison with the orange construction hazards
I think back to the last time I was in Pittsburgh back in March…. Going to visit Anne Feeney. Out of wrought, I walked down to my favorite little Irish bar to sit and write.
Usually this is a quiet Irish bar where I drink Jameson's and scribble silently until I have hallucinations of being Dylan Thomas.
But on this - St Patrick's Day weekend - my sweet little retreat has hired of all things a Karaoke DJ. A sign on the door announces that "ladies drink for free."
The funny thing about fireflies is that it is only the male that flickers.
They do this in the hopes of attracting a female.
If no female firefly can be found males will join forces and begin to blink in unison in hopes that their combined brilliance will pierce the sultry southern air and reach the heart (or at least the thorax) of their beloved.
At the bar in Pittsburgh, barflies are garnished in blinking green
shamrocks and unbearable green paper hats, yet I cannot break from my
own tradition. After all, I came here to write and this is what is
happening.
I order a green beer, accept my own blinking shamrock, and
find the only open table. Familiar acoustic guitar chords leak from the sound system as the Karaoke DJ rummages for a potential participant.
A single firefly escapes the windshield of my car and burns in a rhythm all his own.
I wonder, what do fireflies think ..
…as they enliven their luminous bodies, captive in a giant mayonnaise jar.
Do they dream of trying to pick them selves up by their tiny little bootstraps as
they slide down the glass?
At the bar I get into an argument with a libertarian saying the poor deserve what they get and they should pull themselves up by their boot straps as one lone brave soul steps to the karaoke microphone to intone the
ubiquitous.
Some unseen force makes two lightening bugs blink together -- just
once. As someone at the table next to me mutters beneath his breath
Once-hollow eyes gleam like fireflies piercing a once sullen darkness.
Strangers saunter in and join in the chorus.
"Stand by Me Ohooo Stand by me. Oh Darlin' won't you Please… Stand by me."
Strangers clink glasses - and swear undying friendship - bound by
lyrics inscribed upon our psyche by the tattoo needles of elevators,
and grocery store ambiance.
The libertarian fumbles for change to buy another green beer
I pick up his tab saying, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
He continues his argument citing Rosa Parks as an example of the individual being at the heart of settling the worlds tribulations. I say if you think a middle aged cleaning woman from Montgomery Alabama single handedly started the civil rights movement – than you probably think Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
It occurs to me that the reason some people want us poor folks to
pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps is to get us to bend over.
The highway looks as if it were webbed by a single strand of
Christmas lights -- dazzling in harmony, blinking as one - while a
thousand car radios are tuned to Rush Limbaugh - ironically
spewing "The poor should pull themselves up by their bootstraps."
The whole bar sings together.
"Stand by me... Ohooo Stand by me."
Aware of my own awkwardness in accepting the fact that such an absurd
pop song has captured the zeitgeist of my generation; too wrapped up
in the group experience to care….
…I strike my cigarette lighter and hold it in the air.
Others follow suit.
Cigarette lighters twinkle in the darkness and I realize that we, like fireflies, are greater as a collective, as a whole - as a union - than we could ever be alone.
I, as a child, unlock the mayonnaise jar prison and the captive fantastic are set free.
The song ends. The applause erupts – a spontaneous cacophony
quickly evolves into uniform blasts of simultaneous rhythmic rifle
fire.
Its pace quickens.
Soon everyone in the room is clapping in unison - and then – they begin to sway in concert.
Strangers link arms.
Some go home together.
Darkness descends…
….as one by one each solitary sparkle is extinguished.
But in that darkness a new generation of fireflies is created....

Hey everybody,
It's that time of the month again. July Like a dog…
