Someday Soon

0

There are certain moments, or maybe days, that seem to put things in perspective. More often than not, we're not exactly looking or reaching for that moment, but somehow it grabs a hold and we gather something. If we're lucky, we can make some sense of these often fleeting pinches of time. But usually an explanation is lost in the same way that one loses that dream within a moment of opening one's eyes.

Yesterday morning I hopped on the highway and traveled south about three hours down Highway 1. I hadn't been to Big Sur since January 1 of 2005, but this visit was more for the music than for the beautiful scenery, though I was certain that both would play a part. When I arrived at the Henry Miller Library grounds, I was struck by the beauty of this tiny corner of Big Sur. Lying deep below a surrounding mountain, the library is tiny, but rests on a small grassy area that provided the setting for the music.


The first few acts were ok, but as the sun slid behind the mountain wall, on walked Will Oldham and Emmett Kelly, better known as Bonnie "Prince" Billy. The lawn was packed, but everyone appeared to be comfortably situated as the fog rolled in and Bonnie "Prince" Billy began. A few songs into their full set, I began to realize that this was far from your standard collection of songs. The view around us all was absolutely breathtaking and Billy's music was a compliment to the land that left my throat tightening up. And then came "Strange Form of Life" from 2006's The Letting Go. As the verse drifted off and Kelly gradually strummed that beautiful guitar-part, I was there. For a few seconds, I looked to the trees, the sky, the mountain wall, and then closed my eyes altogether. I was literally inside the moment. And then it was gone. It had meaning, but I'm not sure exactly what. But the remnants sat with me for the rest of the day, and will likely provide a trail to somewhere.

Palin with Couric

0
This is just terrifying. Sarah Palin makes George Bush look like Abe Lincoln. Seriously, John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate should immediately and without question end his chances of winning the White House. It baffles my mind that Barack Obama isn't leading every single state by an average of 75% points.

Okkervil River : The Stand Ins
Jagjaguwar, 2008

Treasure Island - Sunday

2
I didn't make it out Saturday, but given Sunday's experience, this festival has taken a major dip in its sophomore year. Not only was the lineup quite weak, but the small touches that made last year so wonderful were absent. Last year's VIP purchase brought you to a backstage area that included pool tables, a long and cozy bar, buckets of fruit and various games. In this year's VIP area you had a bar. Last year's concession stands were chock-full-of vegetarian and locally grown foods. This year my only option was a wrap filled with lettuce and tomatoes.

But there was one major highlight and that was Austin's Okkervil River. I've been a fan of Okkervil for some years, but their latest two records, The Stege Names and The Stand Ins (released last week), have placed this band among the most important acts making music today. And today's set in the middle of a Sunday on a small island in San Francisco, was one of the most inspired sets of music I've seen this year. And just when I thought the magic was over, following their set, I found myself standing next to Okkervil's lead singer Will Shelf at the bar. And just like that moment in 1995 when I found myself alongside Wilco's Jeff Tweedy on the outskirts of Boston, I had to seize the moment. Because regardless of age or circumstance, there's something about music that can turn some of us into starry-eyed kids.

Moments & Music

0
Given the ease of always listening to exactly the music we want to hear, whether it be via our iTunes, iPod, CD or whatever is easily accessible, it's rare that we're hit with true moments of discovery. Sure, we might hear a record for the first time and fall in love, but usually we know the artist and are prepared for what's about to reach our ears.

Tonight, while listening to last.fm on random, a song came on that stopped me in my tracks. Fine, I was sitting down, but still. Oh my sweet jesus was I floored. I knew the artist, and I even knew the song, but what in god's name was this version. The song was "Casino Lights" by Richmond Fontaine, a band I loved in the 90s and early 00s, but have sort of abandoned over the past few years. This appeared to be a live version. Suddenly my throat tightened up and I was completely swept over by something that can't be explained. And I needed to find this song. And I needed to hear it again.

A few searches around (errr, the Richmond Fontaine site), and there it was. The band released a live record entitled Live at the Doug Fir Lounge in 2007 on the tiny El Cortez Records, and it's available for sale via Richmond Fontaine's site for a mere ten bucks.

And in a week it should drop in my mailbox.

Land of Hopes and Dreams

0

In addition to the lies and deception and John McCain's ties to the most despicable folks in government, let's not forget that John McCain's done everything imaginable to strip away our hope. Oh, I know that he's a politician and his role as republican nominee is to bury his opponent, but as I sit here listening to Bruce Springsteen wail on "This Land Is Your Land" I can't help but want to scream at McCain for doing everything imaginable to strip this country of the hope that Barack Obama has instilled in many of us.

Say what you will about Senator Obama, but there's no question that he's uplifted this country in a time when dreams were so desperately needed. Was John McCain doing his job by ripping down Obama? Sure. But I won't soon forget his disgusting and uninhibited attempts to pry hope from all of us. As hard as he tries, I won't stop dreaming. And regardless of the outcome in November, it was John McCain who did everything imaginable to pry my patriotism away, and it was Barack Obama who made me believe in the country that I call home.

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
words and music by Woody Guthrie

Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

Chorus

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

Chorus (2x)

Shows Past: Bruce Springsteen @ Nassau Coliseum, 12.31.80

0

As I sit listening to this show, I can't recall the last time that rock n' roll sounded this massive, this inspiring, this raw. Every song elicits not only full-body chills, but evokes dreams, community, hope and everything that sometimes only music can do.

Lately I've felt parts of me tearing apart as I watch in horror as the republican party once again utilizes lies, fear and manipulation to make every effort to continue leading this country into the abyss. All that hope and spirit that the Obama campaign injected into this country is being hacked at by McCain and his big business crooks. Yet this Springsteen show makes me believe. It makes me want everyone else to believe. It makes it all feel possible.

Liberal

Why does this word carry such a negative connotation? And why does the word conservative not? Well, it really comes down to marketing, and it would be impossible to argue that the right hasn't destroyed the dems on this front. Since when do caring for the poor, a reasonable minimum wage, health care, civil rights and so forth equate to elitism and against the people? It's really almost laughable how the republicans have buried the left on this front, especially when it is SO apparent that it's the democratic party that represents the core values and desires of the American people.

Until the left overtake this ludicrous battle and dominate the PR battle (ie, truth) on this front, they shouldn't expect to win the White House. The New York Times' Bob Herbert spoke of this in today's New York Times. And instead of just giving you the damn link, given its importance, I'm copying the text here.

Hold Your Heads Up
by Bob Herbert

Ignorance must really be bliss. How else, over so many years, could the G.O.P. get away with ridiculing all things liberal?

Troglodytes on the right are no respecters of reality. They say the most absurd things and hardly anyone calls them on it. Evolution? Don’t you believe it. Global warming? A figment of the liberal imagination.

Liberals have been so cowed by the pummeling they’ve taken from the right that they’ve tried to shed their own identity, calling themselves everything but liberal and hoping to pass conservative muster by presenting themselves as hyper-religious and lifelong lovers of rifles, handguns, whatever.

So there was Hillary Clinton, of all people, sponsoring legislation to ban flag-burning; and Barack Obama, who once opposed the death penalty, morphing into someone who not only supports it, but supports it in cases that don’t even involve a homicide.

Anyway, the Republicans were back at it last week at their convention. Mitt Romney wasn’t content to insist that he personally knows that “liberals don’t have a clue.” He complained loudly that the federal government right now is too liberal.

“We need change, all right,” he said. “Change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington.”

Why liberals don’t stand up to this garbage, I don’t know. Without the extraordinary contribution of liberals — from the mightiest presidents to the most unheralded protesters and organizers — the United States would be a much, much worse place than it is today.

There would be absolutely no chance that a Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin could make a credible run for the highest offices in the land. Conservatives would never have allowed it.

Civil rights? Women’s rights? Liberals went to the mat for them time and again against ugly, vicious and sometimes murderous opposition. They should be forever proud.

The liberals who didn’t have a clue gave us Social Security and unemployment insurance, both of which were contained in the original Social Security Act. Most conservatives despised the very idea of this assistance to struggling Americans. Republicans hated Social Security, but most were afraid to give full throat to their opposition in public at the height of the Depression.

“In the procedural motions that preceded final passage,” wrote historian Jean Edward Smith in his biography, “FDR,” “House Republicans voted almost unanimously against Social Security. But when the final up-or-down vote came on April 19 [1935], fewer than half were prepared to go on record against.”

Liberals who didn’t have a clue gave us Medicare and Medicaid. Quick, how many of you (or your loved ones) are benefiting mightily from these programs, even as we speak. The idea that Republicans are proud of Ronald Reagan, who saw Medicare as “the advance wave of socialism,” while Democrats are ashamed of Lyndon Johnson, whose legislative genius made this wonderful, life-saving concept real, is insane.

When Johnson signed the Medicare bill into law in the presence of Harry Truman in 1965, he said: “No longer will older Americans be denied the healing miracle of modern medicine.”

Reagan, on the other hand, according to Johnson biographer Robert Dallek, “predicted that Medicare would compel Americans to spend their ‘sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was like in America when men were free.’ ”

Scary.

Without the many great and noble deeds of liberals over the past six or seven decades, America would hardly be recognizable to today’s young people. Liberals (including liberal Republicans, who have since been mostly drummed out of the party) ended legalized racial segregation and gender discrimination.

Humiliation imposed by custom and enforced by government had been the order of the day for blacks and women before men and women of good will and liberal persuasion stepped up their long (and not yet ended) campaign to change things. Liberals gave this country Head Start and legal services and the food stamp program. They fought for cleaner air (there was a time when you could barely see Los Angeles) and cleaner water (there were rivers in America that actually caught fire).

Liberals. Your food is safer because of them, and so are your children’s clothing and toys. Your workplace is safer. Your ability (or that of your children or grandchildren) to go to college is manifestly easier.

It would take volumes to adequately cover the enhancements to the quality of American lives and the greatness of American society that have been wrought by people whose politics were unabashedly liberal. It is a track record that deserves to be celebrated, not ridiculed or scorned.

Self-hatred is a terrible thing. Just ask that arch-conservative Clarence Thomas.

Liberals need to get over it.

McCain 54% Obama 44%

0
These numbers are correct. According to the latest USA Today/Gallup Poll conducted Friday through Sunday, and the first poll to reveal the impact of the RNC, John McCain has not only erased Obama's lead, but he's taken a substantial lead.

What's caused such a huge shift? I can attribute this 15+ swing to one thing: The public's reaction to Sarah Palin being vetted not by John McCain, but by the American media. When this virtual unknown was named as McCain's running mate, the media scrambled to find out anything about her, and given that a large part of the reporting was negative, this set the perfect stage for the comeback at the RNC. In the days following the announcement of Palin as his running mate, and the onslaught of criticism that followed, I was certain that this would ultimately play to the Republican's benefit. This was American Idol of campaign moments. Americans love a comeback story, and this is exactly what Sarah Palin represented. What were her qualifications? Eh, who cares. What does she stand for? Oh, what does it matter, she's got cool glasses!

My anger at the prospect of a McCain/Palin executive office seems to be subsiding of late. In the end, there's very little that I can do about this. I live in a country that elected George W. Bush, not once but twice. Why in the world should I expect that we'll elect an articulate, curious, altruistic and charismatic black man over a lying, hawkish, wealthy, white panderer. Fine, that's a bit of a biased take, but I can't for a second agree with an individual who can honestly claim that John McCain is better suited for the presidency right now than Barack Obama. It's not even close. But I am but one of about 110 million Americans likely to vote. And in the end, if the United States elects McCain, my passion for national politics will likely end, and I can move to causes that I can actually impact. Oh, I will continue to vote democratic for the long haul, but my obsession with the need for us to elect a democratic president will drift. When Al Gore opted to concentrate on the climate crisis in favor of chasing the presidency again, I didn't fully understand. I now do.

As we creep closer and closer to 11/4, it seems that my stomach tightens more and more as each day passes. Tonight I went to see a band that I'd waited years to see in San Francisco, yet I was distracted more than half of the show. As hard as I tried, I couldn't push this election out of my mind, even for 90 minutes. I kept checking my phone to see the reactions to Sarah Palin's speech. And almost all seemed positive. And my stomach tightened a bit more.

I have said this time and again, and I honestly feel that there's little argument on this point: If the American public, as a whole, were even moderately educated on the positions of democrats and republicans, I can't imagine that the democrats would have much trouble winning every election over the next century. But the American public has been duped. The right has used wedge issues such as religion, abortion, capital punishment and immigration to literally freeze the country. People never ask this, but do George Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, etc. really think strongly about the "right to life" or the church? Sorry folks, but the answer is no. They have used these issues to solidify their bases and that's it. They are big business chumps who thirst for power and align themselves with the Enron, ExxonMobil and Fox's of the country to strengthen their power and in return, repay those debts to the elite in this country. That is it. Republican agenda. End of story.

Do I think that democratic party is awash in altruism? Well, no. But I certainly think that they are the party of curiosity, intelligence, fairness and opportunity. They champion the causes of 95% of those who call this country home, causes such as fair health care, a reasonable minimum wage, a better education for ALL children, a managed and tempered foreign policy, and so on.

After eight years of the most disastrous administration in United States history, I simply can not fathom electing John McCain to the presidency, especially when we've been delivered one of the greatest potential leaders in this country's long history. The republicans will continue to label Barack Obama a celebrity, a dream, a phony, an elitist, a Muslim, and whatever else they think will catch on, but the truth is, he IS something out of the ordinary. His ability to put this country back in my heart is something I didn't think possible so soon after the Bush era. His ability to bring people together is remarkable. His ability to cause this entire planet to look on in awe is almost beyond comprehension.

Lately, I have felt like my passion for public policy could come to a halt on 11/4. If we make the unforgiveable mistake of electing McCain, I will witness a deflated nation at a standstill. We will see the rest of the world not only scoff at us, but lose any remaining respect that we still garner. On the flipside, if Barack Obama is elected president, I simply can not imagine the joy. I can not imagine what we can do for this country both at home and abroad. And I can't imagine what pride I will feel for the place that I've called home for almost 35 years.

We need to get this one right. For ourselves, for our children, for our neighbors, for our future and for 95% of this country, whose causes will finally be paid heed.

Sarah Palin at the RNC

0
There's no question that the republicans have gathered the greatest living nutjob speechwriters to put together Governor Palin's speech. Knowing this, one can only expect a speech that energizes the right like no other. The dems need to be aware of this likely outcome and handle it with care.

I am skipping this utter garbage to go see South San Gabriel and Centro-matic, otherwise known as the show of the century.

Sarah Palin = Harriet Miers

0

Barring the greatest speech ever delivered before this country, my guess is that Sarah Palin steps down within a week following the RNC. Of course, she'll say that she's doing so to "focus on her family and that she can no longer put the strain on her family, blah, blah, crap, blah." McCain and Co. will pin it all on her, despite the fact that it was their lack of research that led to this utter debacle. If she does get kicked to the curb, I bet Johnny Boy goes with creepy Lieberman.

Beck Covering Daniel Johnston

After witnessing the show of the year last night, Beck at the Independent, I've spent most of this lazy day off listening to Modern Guilt and The Information, the two Beck records that I've never given enough time.

After making it through the two, I searched the iTunes folder for more obscure Beck tracks. The first song I found was Beck's beautiful cover of Daniel Johnston's "True Love Will Find You In the End".
