Merle, Ah, the Flexible Now. Thanks for being understanding and inclusive.
How about a track *relevant* to now? Thinking here not much beyond our Election Day. Oh, and, OK, about 4 years onward, too, and wondering how it's going to be. This relates to Zen, because the political situation can effect our practice environment. So, we take you back to a release only thirty years ago, to "President Gas", by the Psychedelic Furs. Nice album cover. It's a strong song. It has some memorable, if strange, lines, and goes through interesting changes. The tempo of this track is about twice as fast as the lazy, sleepy-headed stuff that passes for pop music these days, called Hip Hop: neither hip, nor hoppy. And this track has no x-rated lyrics nor misogyny nor gratuitous filthy language. Ah, the good-old days, NOW revisited. I think these guys are more into something besides psychedelia, but I'm not sure what. It's not Punk, really, and it's not latter-day Disco; so, I don't know. I was already tuned-out of the pop music scene pretty much when this was new: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5QLQb2324c --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > hey billlllllllll and joe...let's get NOW and find rock and roll that's NOW ------------------------------------ Current Book Discussion: any Zen book that you recently have read or are reading!
