  1. I would say John Coltrane and Duke Ellington's "In A Sentimental Mood". The music describes you and your writing. The eloquence and smoothness of your writing, with intricy and detail, like the bridge (Im sure really sure if its called a bridge in a song with no words, but you know what I mean)of the song. The gracefulness of the piano and the roughness of the sax, come together to make beautiful. Just what I think.

  14. T: "EUROPEAN SON" of course for the song.

    Jealous of you too you devil for getting to be with your kids all the time.

    And send me the secret decoder ring, ASAP, PLEEEEEZE! I put too many years between a bad place and today to get it triggered off like that. I'm having trouble deriving the function. CLINTON=REAGAN=DAVIDDUKE, si o no? Because all I'm seeing is despair and my Dad reading me DAS KAPITAL and telling me how fucked the rich are but it was good to get rich.

    No decoder ring needed here. LOW TAXES, GOOD. HIGH TAXES, BAD. ECONOMIC GROWTH, GOOD. RECESSION, BAD. WAR BAD FOR BUSINESS,PEACE GOOD FOR BUSINESS.

    As for what's going on up there, I'm lost. WAR KIND OF GOOD=IGNORANCE IS BLISS=OBEY THE RULING CLASS, but pretend to be ghetto when you're loaded and then PEACE IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS????

    I speak Spanish only now.

  17. I was torn between this song...the Impossible Dream and To Each His Dulcinea (To Every Man His Dream)Each from the Man of La Mancha soundtrack.

    I think for me the Impossible Dream suits you. It has that arthurian quality (smile).

    Impossible Dream (The Quest)
    The Man From La Mancha (Don Quixote)


    ALDONZA
    Why do you do these things?

    DON QUIXOTE
    What things?

    ALDONZA
    These ridiculous... the things you do!

    DON QUIXOTE
    I hope to add some measure of grace to the world.

    ALDONZA
    The world's a dung heap and we are maggots that crawl on it!

    DON QUIXOTE
    My Lady knows better in her heart.

    ALDONZA
    What's in my heart will get me halfway to hell. And you, Señor Don Quixote-you're going to take
    such a beating!

    DON QUIXOTE
    Whether I win or lose does not matter.

    ALDONZA
    What does?

    DON QUIXOTE
    Only that I follow the quest.

    ALDONZA
    (spits)
    That for your Quest!
    (turns, marches away; stops, turns back and asks, awkwardly)
    What does that mean... quest?

    DON QUIXOTE
    It is the mission of each true knight...
    His duty... nay, his privilege!
    To dream the impossible dream,
    To fight the unbeatable foe,
    To bear with unbearable sorrow
    To run where the brave dare not go;
    To right the unrightable wrong.

    To love, pure and chaste, from afar,
    To try, when your arms are too weary,
    To reach the unreachable star!

    This is my Quest to follow that star,
    No matter how hopeless, no matter how far,
    To fight for the right
    Without question or pause,
    To be willing to march into hell
    For a heavenly cause!

    And I know, if I'll only be true
    To this glorious Quest,
    That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
    When I'm laid to my rest.

    And the world will be better for this,
    That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
    Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
    To reach the unreachable stars!

    Uh, one thing 'bout music when it hit you feel no pain
    White folks say it controls yo' brain
    I know better than that, that's game
    And we ready for that - two soldiers head of the pack
    Matter of fact, who got the gat?
    And where my army at? Rather attack and not react
    Back to beats, it don't reflect on how many records get sold
    On sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll
    Whether your project's put on hold
    In the real world; these just people with ideas
    They just like me and you when the smoke and camera disappear
    Against the real world *echos*
    It's bigger than all these fake-ass records
    When po' folks got the millions and my woman's disrespected
    If you check 1-2, my word of advice to you is just relax
    Just do what you got to do; if that don't work, then kick the facts
    If you a fighter, rider, biter, flame-ignitor, crowd-exciter
    Or you wanna jus' get high, then just say it
    But then if you a liar-liar, pants on fire, wolf-crier, agent wit' a wire

  47. BUDDY: You are absolutely right, trust me. I've gone over and over and over all of this in my head.

    I don't HATE anybody, except for a few hours I was hating myself.

    As far as educating and enlightening, I did not fail at that. I gave you a glimpse of story that is not often told in the US. Richler's novels about life in Montreal get at it pretty well, though.

    In the US, there were NOVELISTS who touched on it or told it in allegory, but after HUAC and especially after the end of the USSR (which makes me happy--I didn't like that place because I had a great-great uncle who fought the Tsar in October 1917 and I've read his diary,translated by my great-uncle...nothing good happened in that place to be sure) it will never be mentioned. I have my guesses why but they are only guesses.

    I need no further proof than how SANITIZED the story of the Prohibition years is. I wish the real story of Bronfmann could be told with the amazing thoroughness and clarity that the Nicky Barnes story was told in a recent documentary. I feel the same way about both men. Mostly thugs, not evil by any means, it was what it was -- a product of an era, if not them somebody else -- and there's no ethnic shame or pride in it.

    Envogue, "This Is Your Life"
    This is your life
    Live it your own way
    (Repeat)

    I lived part of my life
    Being scared of my dreams
    Everytime someone asks
    What I'm shooting for in life
    I would hide my true feelings
    And when I spoke up to my friends
    They made fun of my dreams
    So shen times got too rough
    I would think back on one thing
    My momma would say to me

    This is your life
    You got to live it your own way
    (Repeat)

    Forces of evil struck back and forth
    Throughout my younger days
    Because I would listen
    And care what other people would say
    Like a four letter word
    I ignored that whole world
    And built my own tiny world with respect
    But it took time to relate
    What my momma would say time after time again, she said

    This is your life
    You got to live it your own way(Repeat)

    This is your life
    You've got to live it your own way

  50. MARCUS:

    At the risk of re-starting a really dumb argument, I have long been a student of large municipal poltical history.

    For my money, the three best mayors in the US over the last 15 years or so have all been African-American: Kurt Schmoke of Baltimore, Norm Rice of Seattle and Wellington Webb of Denver.

    I invite anybody to compare pro-rata crime figures of the sainted Giuliani hijoputa with those of Webb and Rice and tell me that the latter two didn't achieve better results WITH NO CIVIL RIGHTS LAWSUITS AGAINST EITHER DENVER OR SEATTLE. Giuliani's 8 years cost the city close to $1 bn in settling brutality and civil rights suits.

    Schmoke had tougher economic times to deal with than any of Webb, Rice or Giuliani but by all fiscal and civil rights measures and as an international advocate for civil rights you'll find no better American mayor.

    That said, politics costs money and favors. No cracker, no mayoralty. End of story. And I'm assuming that European immigrants count as crackers in your paradigm.

    That's the business community and the organized labor community. Without them, ferget it. In the Western cities especially the numbers aren't there for a non-cracker City Hall. You cannot sell enough incense and FINAL CALL subscriptions to make it happen.

    And in Seattle for Rice to get it meant he also had to establish firm ties with the Asian-American elite. In Denver, Webb needed to do the same with the Mexican-American elite. Are Asians and Mexicans "semi" crackers? I don't know. Not for me to say.

    I speak New York and I speak Spanish. I don't speak American. There is no word "cracker" in the variant of English spoken in New York City. I've know "ofay," "peckerwood," and "honky," but never "cracker." It's not in the New York dictionary, I don't think.

    Sure, Monrovia, Liberia's a lay-down hand, of course. No problem. Monrovia or Seattle, hmmm? That's pretty tough choice to make as a place to raise your family, si o no?

  55. Torrance: Did LOVEBABZ mention this; it being US Open weekend I came up with the perfect sports analogy about your "vaina" (that's a Spanish word that in this context means "your shit" or "your schtick" or "your thing" or "your essence"--hard to explain but it's a very useful word--very much the equivalent of "shit")?

    I wrote to her that you had all 16 clubs in the bag and are playing RDB with only a 6-iron and it's that eclectic and tight, which is a little scary.

    And I know you've followed N Rice, W Webb and Schmoke's careers. Fascinating guys. Schmoke especially.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I think I know why one never hears the word "cracker" in NYC but the more estoteric "ofay" and "peckerwood" are pretty common and not taken in offense. The latter part is simple. You have to be able to joke like that in NY because everybody's all jammed in together and everybody's waking up angry. So, small things like funny ethnic names mean nothing.

    But "cracker" has no meaning in NYC because it's so associated with White Southern Baptists. There are NO White Baptists in NYC. White Protestants in NYC are pretty rare now and they are only Espiscopalian, Presbyterian, Congregationalist or Unitarian. There are more Russian and Greek Orthodox than White Protestants in NY. I don't even know if the High Church still uses "Jesus" in the liturgy in New York! Those sects are super-liberal.

    So, "ofay" and "peckerwood" just fit better with the way we speak. Because, I guess, they're clever and funny names.

  57. Around The Corner by Paul Taylor

    Layed back but not taken lightly. Deep. Touches you with each note. Before you know it you're into it, bouncing your head, hooked on each note, feelin' the groove. Always leaves you lookin' forward to what is "Around the Corner" because the notes, its the notes that get you.

    You've got great notes in the tune that is only you and all of these people here feel it too.
