I apologize. Mea culpa. In just 10 days–while I was in Seattle and in a remote part of Alaska–my co-writers at WAC? turned this blog for the most part into a wank-fest of bad posts and poorly-planned re-postings of old posts (I deleted most of them). I was bored, disappointed, by what I saw. We all deserve better. But at this site, when things go wrong or get mediocre, it’s all my fault. Totally.
Save the country. Save the children. Up in heaven, the late Laura Nyro hated WAC? this past week, too. I saw Nyro on my 18th birthday. She thought you could be angry and happy at the same time; I agree, and feel that every day. Laura got really angry at you if you had “no gospel, no guts, no brain”. Because you are missing life, work, relationships, ideas, growth, old verities and joy. Be inspired–or hang it up, folks. Or at least don’t blog that week.
Save the country. Save the children. Get a chip on your shoulder. Get angry and happy about something. Stretch big. Talk hard. And do something. If you don’t feel that way, keep/get away from Laura and me. We deserve better. Hey, we’re working hard at something here.
Laura Nyro (1947-1997) wanted you to have fury in your soul.
