Like silence,
I am the sudden entrance
of that feature of the air
among the atmospheres
thathas no voice
butthe whirlwind bringing
the world to its new welcome>
I am the comfort that comes,
that irreproachable and obscure love
the world dies to have
now welcoming
and worth the saving.

Mean Gene Kelton — Image by kenne
Recently, I’ve been going through some of my old videos and found the one below that I had never posted; at least, I thought I had not until I went to my YouTube posts. It’s in a post, “Mean Gene Kelton @ The Corner Pub August 2008. Gene’s cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd song, Free Bird is pretty dam good.

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they’d be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world’s asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won’t you sign up your name, we’d like to feel you’re
acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!
At night, when all the world’s asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

“. . . for such a simple man.” As a young man, I loved the music of Supertramp and the album, “Breakfast In America.” (1979) The album was released about twenty years after the photo on the left was captured. Several decades later, I still love the music, but more importantly, the words, such as those in “The Logical Song.”
The questions continue to run deep, but I’m no longer shackled by being so dependable, clinical, intellectual and cynical. Now I’m free to be more radical, liberal, fanatical and even criminal. In a way, the song is a story of innocence and idealism lost — it’s time to regain it!
