Gonna go see the boyo

[mucker]

Funny, I was a Dead-head for years, but at their shows, I always shied away from other Dead-heads, the family-feel was warm, but I always wanted to go away to the space beyond the "Sea-weed" dance....I wanted to jump into the Sea the Dead were creating at that moment in time, and swim with them.

Going to go see the boyo in DC. I'll be with lots of Damien people, but more than likely, I'll pull my cap over my eyes and go sailing along with the boyo, not thinking about anything, not interpreting anything, agenda-free....sailin' on the words and sounds, floating free in his lil ship to songs he's sung a thousand times....

Would I wanna meet him? Nah, it would have to be a Divine Accident of Improbability. I'd just give him a wink. Touring is a wearisome Zombie-Zone. Know this if you never thought about it before.

Sail with the boyo, then take yer heart home, a wee bit softer, a wee bit less complicated, a wee bit gentler, and live a wee bit more lovin' from having bathed in his sea.

Yes, looking at people like Damien and Josh Ritter's touring schedules is enough to give me sweaty palms.. They don't have many days off!

If it's the first one, I'd like some of what he's smoking.

[Bumpman]

I would have guessed both or neither.

People always wonder about the "Stage Presence" and "The Show".
It's when the kids are off the road, and you make 'em breakfast, and watch 'em fly kites, laffin like 4 year olds at ancient magic, or hunkered in front of the fire, and sitting up all night watching a song being born....
It's the 3/4 profile of an Irish wink, it's seeing a seer, all wrapped up in blankets, hair all awry, one sock off, one shoe on passed out on yer couch, snoring like a buzz-saw....therein lies the magic...sometimes high maintenance, sometimes a lil kiddo...
We have to allow them room...art does not come from a sterile place of comfort...that only works in Techno
Eskimo Friends is a funny place to hang....so many real sweethearts!
Walk in Peace.

You know mucker, if there was such thing as a Scottish/Welsh/Irish hybrid, you'd be it!:
- You say a "wee" bit.
- You say "boyo" a lot.
- You seem drunk/stoned, and poetic about it, just like the Irish.

Hmmm..... I like it, interesting combination. =P

Even as my last Bud breathed his last in SF, during the AIDS Plague Years, I roamed the streets of that little city, wondering, "Is there any place this stoner heart, this AIDS orphan will be welcomed?"
It was the Irish kiddo's, more than anyone, who welcomed me into THEIR hearts. I went to their weddings, I held their babies, I met their parents, I sat in their parlors and traded songs and laffs. We knocked back barrels of Guinness and sang and sang and laffed.
Then I moved to the desolate city of my birth on the East Coast. I found a song by an Irish kiddo online one night, about a piano or something. I had to contribute to freeing a Burmese Peace/Democracy Activist to hear a song by a kid I never heard of before. All that Family Love from my Irish Pub came back to me in one song. That's how I found Damien Rice.
An accidental blessing.
And so it is....
I came to Eskimo friends via SF, then Burma and a lyric by Damien with a reference to Syd Barrett (in MY mind, anyway).
Accidently Blessed, once again.
Maniacs for a Peaceful World, Guinness, open loving hearts, poetry & music.....I have no idea what anybody else is talking about in here....
Slainte, Walk in Peace, Calum !
