The Holy Gospel according to the Prairie Messiah

Like a myth you rode in from the west. From the go you had my button pressed. Did the tea-time of your soul Make you long for wilder days? Did you never let Jack Kerouac Wash over you in waves?

We'll be living from sin, and we can really begin. Please Savior, save Your shores. Hear me, I'm graphically Yours.

I had forgotten for a moment what a genius Bowie is. David Bowie, this is. I recall how much Bowie looked exactly like my Dad's third ex-wife on the cover of Pin-ups. She sported the same dyed red mullet and wore the came color rouge. Their facial qualities were very similiar. I don't think that she was trying to channel Pin-ups Bowie, but you never know. She just might have been trying to be the Rebel Rebel Hot Tramp. I thought she was more barfly than anything.

Speaking of Bowies, Jim this time, I showed David the Relay Station web site and he was really grooving on the idea of taking the kids there one night while they are visiting here. This Saturday, they are having some performer that sings Johnny Cash & Charley Pride songs. I wonder if this performer is black and most importantly will Kaw-Liga be sung? This guy must absolutely sing Kaw-Liga. How much universal appeal did a black old school country singer have? Well, one was invited to perform Kaw-Liga on of all things The Lawrence Welk Show many moons ago, kemosabe. Maybe that isn't really saying much these days, but I really don't care. I was always impressed by the social boundaries Charley Pride was able to cross and still phsycially able to participate in MLB spring training every year. I wish I could have had a wonderful life like that by my 68th birthday.
