I just sat here while watching the telethon, typing and typing something about this past week's American Catastrophe. I've just decided to junk it.
What could I say and what would it matter?
I guess words that now fail will fill future entries, for - as we know - an America "changed forever" after the terrorists hit New York has not really changed one fucking bit. Why would this time be different, and why would I be?
Well, it's hard to argue with Kanye West, actually. And I don't think I'd have said anything like that a week ago.
Since I cannot comprehend the tears, corpses, thuggery, heartbreak, betrayal and fear, I'll simply consider the great Allen Toussaint reduced to a wandering refugee while the treasures of Sea-Saint Studio lie lost below an ocean of sewage... that's bad enough for now.
Wrong word, "reduced" ...it's not the refugees who've been "reduced" here.
