Mapquesting the streets in my dream
Current mood: determined
Category: Music
Hi beautiful everyones. We have about five-ish days until the great Christmas morn, isn’t it romantic? Throwing our bones out of their own way just to get the last presents ( of which most I have none) and have them wrapped and ready by 3 am Christmas Eve! Throw some twigs and feathers and kisses on those ribbons and lace up!
I had the angel privilege of playing Christmas songs with Lindsey Melugin to seniors in a Convalescent Hospital last Friday. It was magical and so inspiring. I met Josephine, Carl, Ruth, Dorothy... I held their tiny frail hands in mine and looked into their eyes and smiled and wished them Happy Christmas. At one point I told them to all sing along with us, and they REALLY liked that! It was so much radness, hearing their voices backing mine own up. I have 2 more little shows for the senior folk, one in Placerville and one in Nevada City.
Seriously, life is so ummmmmmmmffhh! of late. Twas the best thing I could ever do to move to NC. It makes the lonely lonely lost and lonely summer all worth it. I love living to give my whole life to transcending bad traditions and making up new ones for to replace any old patriarchal stupid ones. And to break down the fences, man. And to find my other worlds. I gots so many other worlds floating around in my head. Memories from some places I can’t place. Other towns, snowy towns, sledding?, climbing towers with friends, Irish pubs with elevators, little Main Streets by an ocean, a giant Victorian house with a circular driveway around it, industrial avenues, Tom Waits' river house near 24th and the ocean DOWNTOWN, cottages and grocery stores, always with magic and with haunted and beautiful friends who are on adventures with me. Always these places I am so magic and everything can and will happen and it is a good feeling. Like real rock and roll is happening in my veins. They are like gateways in my soul to somewhere… what are those? Can anyone relate? I am talking real, lost, but visual dreams and memories of people and real places that I don’t know where they are. The other day I was for reals, MAPQUESTING this place I dreamed of the night before. We were being driven around by a little capped man in an Oldsmobile from the 70's somewhere round New Orleans, Louisiana. 23rd street Industrial stuff, a huge bridge crossing part of the water...It was maddening but I was obsessed in finding if it really exists! Anyone know psychotherapy?
At least I can tell me from the drugs.
Me-to- you- music- to – food- singing our hearts- I could not forget true love- jaded- or crazy- what’s left but my dark shiny sins- what’s left but my new joy- what’s left here still to employ- music- and food- drink- god
