I made a demo for a song I wrote; if any musicians out there feel like covering it you can do so for free and make any changes you like. It's called "Alien". Lyrics: I am an alien A stranger in a strange land My skin blisters in the sun The air rejects my lungs
You never know what you'll find in the latest Caitlin post. Usually it's a narrative dismantling essay, though it might be a tale of a physicist talking with an extra-terrestrial or a touching poem/song of how alienating the dominant culture can feel.
In her willingness to share what and wherever her creative nature leads, she is modeling how the powers-that-be will be ushered into retirement: from all directions and every angle. Their think tanks are no doubt crafting strategies for defeating the resistance they know is coming. But as Sun Tzu said 2,500 years ago, "Preparedness everywhere means lack everywhere."
Thank you Ms. Johnstone. It is a highlight of my mornings, discovering your next helpful, and so often surprising, offering.
Perfect, except for the unnecessary slander against vultures. I'm a member of the Vulture anti-defamation league and I object to the slur on vultures, who are the "custodians of the land" that you say we should be listening to. When we listen to the land, we realize what benefits the vultures bring. The vulture is considered a "bird of prey" but it does not kill, it cleans up what others have killed or what has dies by other causes. The vulture is my totem bird and is the black robed, bald headed, zen monk of the airways surfing the thermal waves of the empty sky.
You targeted how I feel every single day in this one song. Going to talk to my friend and see if we can do a version of it. Thank you so much for sharing your art with us. It’s truth and beauty and I cried.
"My culture is a vulture" says a ton about our values. Well said! Thanks. Yet in the midst of this despair, workers (so-called "essential" for a year) continue to struggle for meaning and a tiny slice of cake (let them eat). Here's my "song, a no-CEO Swing tribute to those workers upon whose backs the society is actually supported.

I've been selected to become rogue, in vogue, with filtered silence as a backdrop..
It resonates, it resonates!
