8204. wonkers2 - 5/19/2006 2:51:57 PM From Poetry Magazine:
"Schlessinger, recalling that Viereck, amazingly enough was the great-grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm I, through the Kaiser's mistress, the actress Edwina Viereck, calls him a 'romantic classicist, a poetic constitutionalist, an immoderate moderate, a Bohemian who argues for propriety and restraint.' Viereck himself put it this way: 'Progress is achieved in zig zags, by constant readiness to readjust to reality. A straight line is th longest distance between two points and the bloodiest.'" 8205. wonkers2 - 5/25/2006 1:11:21 PM The Feds in My Head 8206. jexster - 5/26/2006 7:33:13 PM For the ages...

"Chimes Of Freedom (Live Version)" - Bob Dylan
Far between sundown's finish an' midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
An' for each an' ev'ry underdog soldier in the night
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
In the city's melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched
With faces hidden while the walls were tightening
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowin' rain
Dissolved into the bells of the lightning
Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake
Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned an' forsaked
Tolling for the outcast, burnin' constantly at stake
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze
Leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder
Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind
Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind
An' the unpawned painter behind beyond his rightful time
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
For the disrobed faceless forms of no position
Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts
All down in taken-for-granted situations
Tolling for the deaf an' blind, tolling for the mute
Tolling for the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute
For the misdemeanor outlaw, chased an' cheated by pursuit
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
Even though a cloud's white curtain in a far-off corner flashed
An' the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
An' for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
Starry-eyed an' laughing as I recall when we were caught
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
As we listened one last time an' we watched with one last look
Spellbound an' swallowed 'til the tolling ended
Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an' worse
An' for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.

Grandaddy 8208. Ulgine Barrows - 5/27/2006 6:58:47 AM Here comes the chaos
Perfectly on time again
Is it ever gonna end
I feel so far away from home
Always so far away
ooopsie...Grandaddy again....goodnight
demolition can be fun 8209. Ulgine Barrows - 5/27/2006 7:44:03 AM Off on a merry way, Often in a lotta days, Lost on yer merry way
Cause unrevealed and never known...And never known...
Trouble with people like me, Tie 'em down and then they vanish instantly
Let this one fly...
Its really no problem, you see, When the sky ignites and your days crash quietly,
Let this one fly...
Off on a merry way, Often alotta days, Lost on yer merry way
~yeah, I forget: Grandaddy again 8210. Ulgine Barrows - 5/27/2006 8:03:00 AM Mary Anne, doesn't understand,
I wanna be her man, stupid Mary Anne.
Now I must complain, that she lacks a brain,
But my hearts in pain, it's driving me insane.
I think it's funny that Mary's such a dummy
You gotta really love her coz she has a lot of money,
And if she would only marry me,
It would really improve my economy.
Oh, Mary Anne, doesn't understand,
I wanna be her man, oooohhh stupid Mary Anne.
Stupid Mary Anne
I think it's funny that Mary's such a dummy
You gotta really love her coz she has a lot of money,
And if she would only marry me,
It would really improve my economy.
Oh, Mary Anne, doesn't understand,
I wanna be her man, oooohhh stupid Mary Anne.
DEAD MILKMAN......yay
Mary Anne, Mary Anne I wanna be your man,
Mary Anne, I wanna take your hand,
Mary Anne, I wanna see your plans,
Mary Anne, Oh won't you understand,
Mary Anne, I wanna be your man,
Mary Anne, I wanna take your hand,
Mary Anne, Oh won't you understand
OOOhhhhhhh - stupid Mary Anne 8211. Ulgine Barrows - 5/27/2006 8:08:17 AM I won't be the one who's going to let you down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
I won't be the one who's going to let you down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
The trick is to keep breathing
~garbage 8212. Ulgine Barrows - 5/27/2006 8:10:42 AM I helped her out of a jam I guess
But I used a little too much force 8213. Ulgine Barrows - 5/27/2006 8:14:24 AM So now I'm going back again
I got to get her somehow
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives
Don't know how it all got started
I don't what they're doing with their lives
But me I'm still on the road
Heading for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point of view
Tangled up in Blue.
I'm running. 8214. Ulgine Barrows - 5/27/2006 8:19:42 AM head like a hole.
black as your soul.
i'd rather die than give you control.
head like a hole.
black as your soul.
i'd rather die than give you control.
bow down before the one you serve.
you're going to get what you deserve.
bow down before the one you serve.

We've got it goin' on for years 8216. wabbit - 5/28/2006 1:25:39 PM Jexster, please close your tags.8217. alistairconnor - 5/29/2006 10:41:36 AM Some are carpenter's wives
Fancy that. In my head, it was "fishermen's wives". Had it wrong in my head for all those years.
I like my version better. More euphonious.
Some are mathematicians
Some are fishermen's wives 8218. Ulgine Barrows - 6/10/2006 2:36:59 AM eh-there is something cultural here about a fishwife that I'm sure I don't understand. 8219. arkymalarky - 6/10/2006 4:24:17 AM They're known for their vulgar speech. 8220. Ulgine Barrows - 6/10/2006 5:41:08 AM ears perking up, tucking tail
Thanks. 8221. Ulgine Barrows - 6/10/2006 6:11:55 AM "It Came From Nashville", Webb 8222. arkymalarky - 6/11/2006 2:16:56 AM Great New Band 8223. Adam Selene - 6/24/2006 3:24:26 AM Gonna see Nellie McKay (my heartthrob) in tomorrow's Threepenny Opera matinee at Studio 54 off Broadway. Been waiting a couple of months for this with tickets in hand (well.. in will-call, anyway.) Can't wait... probably won't sleep much.
Not that I'm looking forward to a 3-hour Amtrak ride... well, actually I am. Nice chance to spend time with my wife after a week of late-night software patch-parties. Semi-annual delivery schedules are great usually... except about twice a year when they are hell. (DLL-Hell, if you know what I mean.)
Anyway - I hope the show is fully-staffed. This is extension week, who knows if the original cast will all be there. Not that I care about the rest... but I sure hope Nellie is healthy!!
