88 Lines About 44 Women lyrics

~   
Deborah was a Catholic girl
she held out till the bitter end
Carla was a different type
she's the one who put it in
Mary was a black girl
I was afraid of a girl like that
Suzen painted pictures
sitting down like a Buddha sat



Reno was a nameless girl
a geographic memory
Cathy was a Jesus freak
she liked that kind of misery
Vicki had a special way
of turning sex into a song

Kamala, who couldn't sing,
kept the beat and kept it strong



Zilla was an archetype
the voodoo queen, the queen of wrath
Joan thought men were second best
to masturbating in a bath
Sherry was a feminist
she really had that gift of gab
Kathleen's point of view was this
take whatever you can grab



Seattle was another girl
who left her mark upon the map
Karen liked to tie me up
and left me hanging by a strap
Jeannie had a nightclub walk
that made grown men feel underage
Mariella, who had a son,
said I must go, but finally stayed



Gloria, the last taboo
was shattered by her tongue one night
Mimi brought the taboo back
and held it up before the light
Marilyn, who knew no shame,
was never ever satisfied
Julie came and went so fast
she didn't even say goodbye



Rhonda had a house in Venice
lived on brown rice and cocaine
Patty had a house in Houston
shot cough syrup in her veins
Linda thought her life was empty
filled it up with alcohol
Katherine was much too pretty
she didn't do that shit at all



Pauline thought that love was simple
turn it on and turn it off
Jean-Marie was complicated
like some French filmmaker's plot
Gina was the perfect lady
always had her stockings straight
Jackie was a rich punk rocker
silver spoon and a paper plate



Sarah was a modern dancer
lean pristine transparency
Janet wrote bad poetry
in a crazy kind of urgency
Tanya Turkish liked to fuck
while wearing leather biker boots
Brenda's strange obsession
was for certain vegetables and fruit



Rowena was an artist's daughter
the deeper image shook her up
Dee Dee's mother left her father
took his money and his truck
Debbie Rae had no such problems
perfect Norman Rockwell home


Nina, 16, had a baby
left her parents, lived alone
Bobbi joined a New Wave band
changed her name to Bobbi Sox
Eloise, who played guitar,
sang songs about whales and cops
Terri didn't give a shit
was just a nihilist


Ronnie was much more my style
cause she wrote songs just like this
Jezebel went forty days
drinking nothing but Perrier


Dinah drove her Chevrolet
into the San Francisco Bay
Judy came from Ohio
she's a Scientologist


Amaranta, here's a kiss
I chose you to end this list.

David wrote most of the music, Marc came up with the melody line and George helped with the drum programming and atmosphere of the "RCA" version.

Larry Harvey ~ The Burning Man

Larry Harvey - January 11, 2009 
photo by Tony Deifell 

       
The founder of Burning Man, Larry Harvey, died today. I only went to the event once, in 2003 (link below) but that one time had a profound impact on my life.     

It wasn't as big as it is today but it was gigantic back then. Incredibly exciting and unearthly, it is something everyone should experience at least once in his or her lifetime.

He was born on January 11, 1948. He died today on April 28, 2018, from complications of a stroke he suffered earlier in the month,

Melissa Panages aka Famous Melissa ~ computer chip fashion

One of the most innovative fashion designers of the 80's was Melissa Panages aka Famous Melissa. Her fashions were designed and composed of computer chips. I have one of her computer chip neckties (link below) as well as several computer chip cuff links.

Melissa Panages (Famous Melissa) ~ computer chip necktie

~
During my fashion show production career I was fortunate to work with many brilliant designers, one of which was Melissa Panages, aka Famous Melissa was one of them. Her fashions were composed of computer chips (link below).         

There were several events I was involve with in which her fashions were featured, one of which was Retro To Neo; it was a promotional fashon show held during the Computer Faire, at the Los Angeles County Fair Grounds, Los Angeles, CA.
         
During one of the shows I worked on with her she gave me one of her neckties, also fashioned from computer chips.

Tchaikovsky ~ 1812 Overture flash mob

~




screenshot by 


       
     

I have always loved viewing flash mob videos. It is delightful to watch the reaction of the people present; the surprised looks at first then the realization of something unexpectedly new, uplifting and even educational happening in their lives.  

The first flash mob video I saw was in 2010. It was a performance of the song Do-Re-Mi sung by Julie Andrews from the of the 1965 film version of Sound of Music. It was performed in a train station in Antwerp, Belgium (link below).   

When I was 18 the very first classical music album I bought was the Arthur Fiedler version of the Tchaikovsky, 1812 Overture (link below); it was and will always remain my favorite piece of "pop" classical music. I still get chills listening to the climax of the work even without cannons.   

It is interesting that Tchaikovsky actually hated the Overture even though it won him fans all over the world and made him a household name.  
   
Last week I saw a flash mob video from September 3rd, 2016, at Algemesí (Spain); the Banda Simfònica d'Algemesí, performed the Tchaikovsky, 1812 Overture in a Flash Mob. It is a delight to watch the gradual "growth" of the orchestra and the reactions of the people as it does (link below).
