Review of “Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky: Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child”He is eternally young, eternally a memory. Because he cannot defend himself, he becomes eternally an ideological figure, a figure whose connotations have unavoidably trumped his personality. Dead men tell no tales, so men with agendas do so for them.
America’s ChildThe Sixties were a bend in the river—-a river that seems to be in danger of going the way of the Rio Grande—dried up. Susan Sherman traces the gathering currents of this river at the confluence between some of its major tributaries. For her it begins in Los Angeles in the Forties and Fifties, which was by then the heart of America’s image-making machine. Her transformation follows the larger social trajectory of a country that rose victorious and prosperous from a world war. First are her frustrated early attempts to keep step with the world of toothpaste smiles, tidy lawns, backyard barbeques, martini cocktail hours, and non-filtered cigarettes. With her move to Berkley at nineteen, and the ensuing, age-specific progression of influences, relationships and their resulting liberations and limitations, she begins her five-decade investigation into political and social change and the power and beauty of language.
The Living Hair Do“…Here we are well into fall and there’s so much catching
up to do so let’s begin where I last left off with a brief list of
gigs I witnessed, before getting to the heart of this article.
There was the Zorn – Lou Reed duo which culminated with guest
appearances by Mike Patton, Zeena Parkins and Ikue Mori, followed 2 nights
later by Zorn, Reed, Ribot and Milford Graves who played impeccably and
tastefully throughout the night and who during set two when Reed
joined in, actually seemed to enjoy being “the drummer in the
band”…”

Selection from the short story “We Could Have Been Huge” - By Paul LeeSimon
The more he thought about it, the worse it got.
He couldn’t stop thinking about it.
It kept getting worse.
Simon was lying on his bed in the dark. It was like his brain was accelerating and careening and fishtailing down a greased-up Mobius strip, all pumping and smashing down the brake pedal but the brake pedal is […]
