Safe from Sorrow Now

I can't believe I've even liked the new John Mayer so much I've let it percolate inside my brain and have even translated that album into a new poem/lyric /song for my own:

Safe from Sorrow Now
My heart was frozen with the river

Man, I probably shouldn’t’ve survived

The propellers fell off my jet plane

Wow, what a nose dive – wild ride

Almost became derailed & went insane

Well, hey, yea, Oh, well, now

I think I’m safe from sorrow

Well, hey, yea, Oh, well, now

Even though there’s nothing left to burrow

Yeah, I’m thinking of a future for tomorrow

So, it was we it became. Sorry I brought you shame.

I was thinking you knew I thought it was only a game

All the blankets in the armoire couldn’t hide my shivers

But now no matter how I feel I know I’m lucky I’m alive

And I’m just grateful to humbly learn how to survive

Well, hey, yea, Oh, well, now

I think I’m safe from sorrow

Well, hey, yea, Oh, well, now

Even though there’s nothing left to burrow

Yeah, I’m thinking of a future for tomorrow

As trains go by along the rails and down the line

River flows and leaves my heart rushing every time

I hear those things – I hear them crying out not knowing

How each way they’ll be thought of by those who see them

Just how their day goes – Whether it was bad or a good one

Well, hey, yea, Oh, well, now

I think I’m safe from sorrow

Well, hey, yea, Oh, well, now

Even though there’s nothing left to burrow

Yeah, I’m thinking of a future for tomorrow

What Jeff Tweedy Said About Dana Perino


Greg, http://theneweverydaymedia.blogspot.com/2012/04/ween-live-in-chicago-big-jilm-what-jeff.html has what Jeff tweedy of Wilco said about Dana Perino = tired of Dana Perino types getting everything handed to them. Yeah, I don't think of this as a "smear campaign." Instead of "smear campaign" I just place Dana Perino's face with the concept & phrase "everything handed to them." I mean, c'mon, obviously, life has toughened-you-up and so you're more deserving of any kind of hand out.

John French 77 posted a link to Greg Gutfeld's Wall: (Fun w/ Dana Perino & Greg Gutfeld)

Unfollow Dana Perino (@danaperino) & Follow Greg Gutfeld (@greggutfeld) Campaign OR Just Follow Greg Gutfeld @greggutfeld if you haven't followed Dana Perino anyway. ..

So, Greg, I have experience with grassroots marketing --- whether it's for business like marketing to fortune 500 companies, Rodale Press (as you know) or helping a musical artist (as you know) or helping someone like Gov Tommy Thompson R WI while attending Marquette Uni....(knocking door-to-door in Ralph Lauren). ...

And I had some dream about this "the new everyday media" where something happened and at one point in the dream I'm w/ a Hollywood Emmy Guy in NYC in a bar after 2a and after a little eye sex this leggy blond woman (we're sure of it) w/ long wavy hair and red lips walks up to me and starts making out w/ me and then I try and relay to Julia Allison (who we were interviewing the next day) why I love NYC because of that woman and she said that was inappropriate to relay to her (WTF?!, Julia was partly your creation, Greg). ...
And now there's been this newer dream about New Media Matters; an everyday art. .. which is going well even w/ out any grass roots marketing or marketing at all.

But Dana has had everything givenand handed to her her whole life (i hate people like that) because she's so damn cute / HOT and blond --- and she has this squeaky clean image the Republican party uses and, well, you squeak all right but your basement is filthy dirty and you're a dog. ... ( we all know). ...

Yet, the dirty underdog Greg Gutfeld @greggutfeld who mentioned John French and mystrawhat.com and the Top Hottest Women of the New Everyday Media on his show Red Eye on Fox News Channel @ 3am needs help... So, in short, I will be your "street team" for Pittsburgh.
 
And I know you will mention the new e-book New Media Matters: an everyday art (with its original poetry and its Top 100 Hottest Women of New Media Matters: an everyday art 2012) on Red Eye when the sneak-peak "all new mystrawhat.com" now up is converted to "go live" status is up and running (soon). ..
 
Henceforth, people, unfollow Dana Perino (@danaperino) & Follow Greg Gutfeld (@greggutfeld) ...
 
p.s. is Bob Beckel real???!!! if so i'd like to have a steak and Manhattan w/ him. ..

You Gotta Move - Live '76



Although I am "OBSESSED" (like an overzealous crusader) w/ Porch Music (yeah, the kind of non amplified music that was played on American porches and was only recorded by smart archivists w/ a hand held mic and tape recorder in remote rural areas for preservation on this "happening") this AMPLIFIED rendition is pretty cool = pretty neat.

"Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.... "



Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.
Don't mind people grinnin' in your face, O Lord,
Just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find.
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

They'll jump you up and down.
They'll carry you all around and 'round.
Just as soon as your back is turned,
they'll be tryin' to cut you down.
But just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find.

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face...

Your mother, she'll talk about you.
Your brothers and your sisters, too.
Yes, don't care how you're trying to live,
They'll talk about you still.
But just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find.

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face....

Holy Alibi


"Where is that?"
I'm not sure
But I'll take you
Down the road
I heard there's
A midnite buying
Seats for the dawn
The sun king's in
A claw foot tub
Then a breakfast
Alone to be NEWS
"Are you sure the
Fire hall is by the
Train tracks?" Yes.
Smokestacks, and
Train tracks, rivers
And a chalk sky on
A clean slate; quivers.
Easter's this Sunday.

Sarah Palin 'Today' Show Appearance: Matt Lauer Asks If She's Reading Newspapers To Prepare (VIDEO)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/02/sarah-palin-today-show-matt-lauer-newspapers_n_1396161.html?ref=media&ref=media

Sarah Palin called into the "Today" show on Monday to preview her Tuesday co-hosting appearance. The conversation was mostly pleasant, but Matt Lauer managed to get in a dig at Palin's notorious interview with Katie Couric.

It was a busy morning on "Today" as former host Meredith Vieira alsoreturned to the broadcast to make an announcement.

The NBC morning show announced that Palin will guest host the 8:00 a.m. hour after news broke that former "Today" host Katie Couric was filling in over at ABC rival "Good Morning America" for the week. The news of Palin's appearing up against her arch-nemesis was so big that it got the full front page of the New York Daily News.

"How nervous should you all be?" Palin joked, referring to her guest-hosting the program. "What are you doing to prepare?" Lauer asked. "Are you reading some newspapers?"

"Ohhh," Palin said, sounding jokingly insulted. "Here we go."

Lauer was referring to one of the more infamous moments from the Couric chat, where Palin couldn't name a specific newspaper she read.

"There are a few things you should know," Vieira said to Palin. "Matt will deface your property...and if Al asks to show you his neck of the woods, run."

Palin laughed and said that she appreciated "NBC's boldness for having [her] on." She said, "I think it reflects the diversity of opinions and I heard that you all espoused so I appreciate it." Palin will also participate on the "Today's Professionals" segment along with Dr. Nancy Snyderman.

The Two Elite Audiences by French Poet Max Jacob + The Rolling Stones (w/ Bianca) and Bob Dylan


The Two Elite Audiences
The day of the great steeplechase, the queen-mother
wore blue velvet stockings. One of the king's mis-
tresses came up to him at the grandstand: "Prince, that
woman is not your mother; she has no right to the
throne whose prerogatives she usurps!" In a long
speech, the king praised prostitution then married the
mistress, a prostitute. A servant wearing glasses who
slept in the kitchen on the top of an ornamented
porcelain stove was pleased with the marriage. What do the elites think?
The audience of first-nighters thought the speech on prostitution was too long,
while the other elite audience applauded it warmly.

Nouvelle Vague - Heart of glass - Live de la semaine french tv 2006.avi



"Quand le front de l'enfant, plein de rouges tourmentes,Implore l'essaim blanc des rêves indistincts,Il vient près de son lit deux grandes soeurs charmantesAvec de frêles doigts aux ongles argentins.Elles assoient l'enfant auprès d'une croiséeGrande ouverte où l'air bleu baigne un fouillis de fleurs,Et dans ses lourds cheveux où tombe la roséePromènent leurs doigts fins, terribles et charmeurs.Il écoute chanter leurs haleines craintivesQui fleurent de longs miels végétaux et rosésEt qu'interrompt parfois un sifflement, salivesReprises sur la lèvre ou désirs de baisers.Il entend leurs cils noirs battant sous les silencesParfumés ; et leurs doigts électriques et douxFont crépiter parmi ses grises indolencesSous leurs ongles royaux la mort des petits poux.Voilà que monte en lui le vin de la Paresse,Soupirs d'harmonica qui pourrait délirer ;L'enfant se sent, selon la lenteur des caresses,Sourdre et mourir sans cesse un désir de pleurer."Les Chercheuses de poux

Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld are on the money here w/ Andrew bringing moderate republicans into a platform that would amplify their thoughts, lives and ideas that are, well, OK, and just as deserving to be heard in arenas that have the eyes of the world upon them whether in Georgetown, West L.A., Austin, TX, Pittsburgh, PA or NYC. And all the while "just doing it" for the more right conservatives and not asking for permission before they really even could realize the counter culture (swimming salmon) affect taking place and percolating --- new media like that of the spirit of "taxation w/ out representation" . ..Agree or disagree w/ the politics I believe his new media path and contributions negate paltry politics of a Georgetown cocktail party. This "is" something way bigger ablaze. ..No shutting the dooR now that it's been blown open wide.Greg articulated it all so well in Americasnewsroom w/ Martha this a.m. ... "He has a powerful legacy and will be remembered as a legend."And while lighting candles as I do @ dusk everyday aware of the energy around, I remembered Andrew, an illuminating figure agree or disagree w/ the point of view of politics.
