"If Drinking don't kill me/Her memory will"
"Time Don't mean a thing to me/I've got life to go"
country writers have perfected this genre of writing--it's become
a time honored trope--
just saw/heard a reading & talk by sherman alexie here--he uses
country and western to write his books by--said INDIAN KILLER was written
to a two CD set of Hank Williams
(if you haven't read the book, an Indian kills white people--so
who knows--what role Hank played in all this?--alexie said it was because
of the sadness in the songs)
also sd what a role tv seen on the rez played in his work--his
main connection to milwaukee had been via HAppy DAYs--story he read is abt
an old Indian Pow wow dancer being interviewed by cultural
anthropolgist--she claims to have had affair with john wayne though she
found jeffrey hunter more beautiful--during the filming of the SEARCHERS--
someone in the audience pointed out that jeffrey hunter was from
Milwaukee--
only connection with fluxus i can make out here, my apologies, is
that yet the zillionith example of the breaking down of the so call
barriers between art and life--or media and life--intermedia and life--
