Amazing Rhythm Aces were formed in Memphis in 1974 by bassist Jeff Davis and drummer Butch McDade, who had earlier recorded and toured with the great singer/songwriter Jesse Winchester. After striking out on their own, Davis and McDade enlisted vocalist/guitarist Russell Smith, keyboardist Billy Earheart, Dobro player Barry Burton, and pianist James Hooker to develop a sound composed of equal parts pop, country, and blue-eyed soul.
my knees hurt. the arthritis foundation wants money. the surgeons. recommend i get a new job.

one morning
my knees hurt
dreadful
my moans dont wake the wife
i call the mental health clinic
its too early
i push 1..1 is the suicide button
the rest is a blur
i am in my first psychiatric ward
i cry cry cry
i cant see thru the tears
5 days 5 days 5 days
what happened to 72 hour observation?
i make friend. i love mentally ill people.
i demand to be released when a homicidal maniac enters the ward and takes my room
i have to share a room with an apnea blast furnace
i demand freedom.
i wind up in the senior ward and i am medicated enough to hijack karaoke night for two hours.
i am singing ” white wedding” by billy idol when they pull the plug.
retreat to my room with diaper man and a great wall of concrete feces
all the smells the accompany white wedding diaper blocks of the great block of the senior ward and a mattress that smells like urine.
i’m not bagging on seniors. one day i hope to make a psychiatric ward smell that way.
the next day i demand to see the authorities and they are dismayed by the way i can weave facts and fiction into the kinds of headlines the might snatch some attention.
i am returned to the ward from which i came.
the whole ordeal was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life.
i need pills and booze and i am much better at talking the talk with mental patients that i meet here and there.
i have a new audience.
of course this is an outline

Juhu! Die schwierigste Zeit ist vorbeigezogen
und die Wolken auch,
die Campingsachen fertig gepackt…
Meine Damen und Herren, wir fahren in den Urlaub! Vor mir ein ganzer, langer Monat der Sorglosigkeit, Freiheit und das beste
… die lang erwartete Haltestelle Woodstock!!!
Ich habe die Freude euch mitteilen zu können, dass die Abstimmung um den “WINNER OF THE GOLDEN SPINNING TOP”
…Achtung! Achtung!…
Clawfinger gewonnen hat!!! Es ist etwas Besonderes, weil erstens: Es wurde zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der Haltestelle eine nicht-polnische Band ausgewählt und zweitens: Mein Wunsch ist in Erfüllung gegangen! Vielen Dank für eure 11 108 Stimmen. Ich hoffe wir treffen uns am 2. 08 an der großen Bühne!
Inzwischen werde ich die Natur, weit weit im Osten, genießen und mit meinem vierbeinigen Freund zeit im Garten verbringen…
Da ich jetzt stolzer Besitzer eines Camcorders der Firma Aiptek bin, wird es hier schon bald einen Videobericht von mir geben!
So…ich mache mich aus dem Staub und wüsche allen einen tollen Sommerurlaub! …ab in den Osten!

innocent fidelity

As many of my readers are aware, I am a Nutritional Supervisor for the school district in which I live. By Nutritional Supervisor, I really mean to say that I am the fucking lunch lady.
Four years ago, I transferred from the high school to the middle school, and this year, I accepted an additional position, breakfast hour, at one of the three district elementary schools. Among the three elementaries, this particular school educates the poorest students in the district, with 40% of them receiving free or reduced meals. The percentage of students who have special needs or require primary before moving on from kindergarten to first grade is also higher at this elementary school. Read the rest of this entry »
"The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that Dickens loved to paint ... but is conceived and ordered ( moved, seconded carried and minuted ) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices"
-- C.S. Lewis [1898-1963]

"You are talking to a leftist. I believe in the redistribution of wealth and power in the world. I believe in universal hospital care for everyone. I believe that we should not have a single homeless person in the richest country in the world. And I believe that we should not have a C.I.A. that goes around overwhelming governments and assassinating political leaders, working for tight oligarchies around the world to protect the tight oligarchy here at home."
