I'll end my column with a poem, but first this:

It took him 50 albums to do it, but Carlos Nakai

finally got nominations for grammies. You know, the

awards given out like porridge to Muzak Slaves by

National Ass. of Recording mob-Agencies. You know,

the ones that float back and forth between NY and

LA depending on who's cheaper that year, Hit Factory
|

or Record Plant. Yeah, that one.

|
When your creative output is assayed like so many

chunks of granite that might have more than 26%
|
|
gold-ore and assorted other ferrous oxide-type

stuff, it can get pretty spiritually draining,
|
|
I know.

A BIG HUGE CONGRATULATORY PRAISE-BOMBING GOES OUT

APARTHEID AMERIKAN STYLE: It's Not Just For Black Folk Anymore.
|
|
|
|
Last week I watched Tibetan Monks and Lamas creating a Mandala.
|
|
OK the Lama read The Complete Works of Shakespeare paperback he
|
|
bought in Borders, while the Monks made most of the Mandala. I
|
|
stood there for forty minutes or so in full awe. I felt a
|
|
flashback of my mom's father cutting wood in Connecticut half
|
|
way up a black rock mountain where he'd built two homes, and
|
|
me and my sister would haul the wood for 2 cents a log over to
|
|
the house where it was piled for the fireplaces. We were those
|
|
monks and the sand was those logs. My grampa was that Lama and
|
|
his axe was that Shakespeare book. Totally sublime. I can't
|
|
"paint" it here at a keyboard, and fotos wouldn't cut it either.
|
|
However, I can say with all-knowing grin, you had to be there.
|
|
It's surely one of those half-way-up-a-mountain moments.
|
|
Just as soon as it was deemed "there," at it's most beautiful,
|
|
beyond words... they carried it a mile or so to a river that
|
|
feeds a lake that feeds a fjord that feeds the Atlantic Ocean.
|
|
I wasn't there to pray with them or be there, I had to go home
|
|
to my consumergasmic harried hurry. But I could almost feel the
|
|
Pentagon getting its needed dose of help and health! The CIA
|
|
building, and the IRS building. The FBI and the two competing
|
|
Masonic Temple headquarters buildings in all their cut-stone
|
|
splendor, sharing the same cityblock, the Reagan Building and
|
|
the George Bush/Richard Nixxon Library. So, if you heard Baltimore
|
|
or Alexandria shaking, now you know why.
|
|
I'd heard that a Lama walked across the Himalayas to his freedom
|
|
the other day. Near the Mandala I just learned he was one of the four
|
|
highest Lamas under the Dalai Lama. He didn't walk alone, but he
|
|
basically got up one morning took only what he might need and walked
|
|
24 miles a day or so through the Himalayas until he was beyond the sight
|
|
China's tibettan-keeper-inner-there-guarders. Then he found a town where
|
|
he could ask to be brought to India where his boss is hanging out.
|
|
Now THERE'S A HARRY WOO STORY YOU'RE N O T GOING TO BE ABLE TO TURN
|
|
INTO MARKET SHARES!
|
|
This Lama was the leader of the second oldest line (total of four I'm
|
|
told) of "orders" (for lack of a better anglo word.)
|
|
Good walk, good life. Good work!

THE AMAZING RANDI ON CARL SAGAN'S POT SMOKING:
|
|
Snippets Reprinted from Jan00 Skeptic Magazine.
|
|
Carl Sagan was one of my heroes, bigtime...
|
|
And now I have learned that Carl Sagan regularly
|
|
used marijuana... People should be totally free
|
|
to decide what to do with their lives, providing
|
|
that their actions don't interfere with others...
|
|
I'll never use pot...
|
|
It might, as Carl seemed to think, enlarge my
|
|
ability to think and give me great ideas... It was
|
|
Carl's choice, and I have to respect that... I have
|
|
no right to saddle other persons with my mores.

Here.

|
|
The American investment banker was at the pier of a
|
|
small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with
|
|
just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat
|
|
were several large yellow fin tuna. The American
|
|
complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish
|
|
and asked how long they took to catch. The man
|
|
replied it had taken only a little while. He then
|
|
asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more
|
|
fish. The man said he had enough to support his
|
|
family's immediate needs. He then asked the man,
|
|
"But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
|
|
The fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little,
|
|
play with my children, take siesta with my wife,
|
|
Maria, stroll into the village each evening where
|
|
I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos. A full
|
|
and busy life I have."
|
|
The American scoffed, "I'm from Harvard and can
|
|
help you. You should spend more time fishing and
|
|
earn enough to buy a bigger boat. From the bigger
|
|
boat's earnings you could buy more boats; eventually
|
|
having a whole fleet. Instead of selling your catch
|
|
to middlemen you can sell directly to processors,
|
|
eventually opening your own cannery. You can control
|
|
the product, processing and distribution. Of course
|
|
you'd need to leave this small coastal fishing village
|
|
and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where
|
|
you'll run your expanding enterprise." The father asked,
|
|
"But, how long will this all take?" To which the grad
|
|
replied, "15-20 years."
|
|
"But what then?" The grad laughed, "That's the best part.
|
|
When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell
|
|
your company publicly becoming rich, you would make millions."
|
|
"Millions.. Then what?" The grad said, "Then you would retire.
|
|
Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep
|
|
late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your
|
|
wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you'd sip wine
|
|
and play guitar with your amigos."

as i write this, dumb pop song has been on q101
|

for two days; both times it's been in the top nine
|
|
at nine. and it's certainly not because me and adam
|
|
and ryan and jason and kaustubh are calling the radio
|
|
station fifty times a day. no, it's because we have
|
|
one of the coolest bunch of people helping us out.
|
|
you folks rock.
|
|
i know i said this a couple months ago when we tried to
|
|
get the q to play fred astaire, but i'm saying it again.
|
|
This is your chance to show corporate radio and corporate
|
|
rock that YOU HAVE A VOICE. call them up and say "i want
|
|
my lucky boys". the number is 591-8300, so let's spread
|
|
out the calls and see if we can keep dumb pop song in the
|
|
top 9 for as long as possible!
|
|
and remember, still, that there's every possibility this
|
|
could all blow over and nothing could happen. we'll still
|
|
be making music; hopefully you'll still listen to it. we
|
|
started off writing songs for you guys; we're going to
|
|
continue writing for you. nothing will change that.

NEW YORK (AP) -- An Empire State Building elevator plunged 40
|
|
stories when a cable snapped, but the two inside were saved
|
|
by an emergency braking system.
|
|
"I was scared, terrified," Shamika Peterson, 20, said Tuesday.
|
|
"I thought I was going to die." She and Joe Masoraca, who work
|
|
in different offices on the 44th floor, boarded the elevator
|
|
Monday afternoon and pressed a button for the lobby.
|
|
"We were on our way down when all of a sudden the elevator
|
|
dropped, like a bungee jump," Peterson said at a news
|
|
conference. The elevator dropped about 400 feet before a
|
|
safety system stopped it at the fourth floor. Maintenance
|
|
workers used another elevator to guide Peterson and Masoraca
|
|
to safety.
|
|
Peterson was treated at a hospital for neck and shoulder
|
|
pain and released. Masoraca refused medical treatment. The
|
|
elevator plunge was caused by a sheared compensating cable,
|
|
the wire that adjusts the weight of the car, building spokesman
|
|
Howard Rubenstein said. The elevator passed inspection May 19,
|
|
he said.
|

We end with a poem by R.T.
|
|
|
|
you slum your way through old downtown
|
|
what once was hip, now is down
|
|
find some time to rock around
|
|
in bullet proof ballroom gowns
|
|
|
|
what kind of world
|
|
are we living in ...
|
|
|
|
shuffle like cards priorities
|
|
rearranging the truth with ease
|
|
sinking down to the bottom line
|
|
internalize the demented mind
|
|
|
|
scruples are commodities
|
|
whenever they exist at all
|
|
so keep draining the earth
|
|
consume, pollute, so the economy doesn't stall
|
|
|
|
what kind of world ...
|
|
|
|
voting for starched good looks
|
|
whose lightest deeds embarass crooks
|
|
and celebrate the misery
|
|
of life in our dependencies
|
|
|
|
you villify the terrorists
|
|
which you can't see, but know exist
|
|
so kill the poor if you don't find
|
|
what lives inside of your mind
|
|
|
|
what kind ...
