Hearing the geese high above in the night sky as they fly south for the winter and November draws to its close. Reminds me of one of my favorite songs.

“For here we stand–hand to hand/Fighting for the promised land/Then you try to warn me/That there’s only one combination/One new sling/The same old rock.”

(Belated) Happy Birthday Dr. John. (Nov. 21).
“If you dig jive, pure jive; if you dig dreaming, if you ever order barbecue at 4 AM; if you get stoned to watch TV commercials while eating Colonel Sanders fried chicken and drinking warm Ripple — then you are weird enough for Dr. John. And he is, sure as sin and rain, weird enough for you.”
Below is my favorite song from the Night Tripper, the swirling center of his voodoo masterpiece Gris-Gris (magically recorded in the middle of the night Halloween 1967 at the famous Gold Star Studios in L.A.)

Russian films of the 1960s/1970s (whether masterpieces from the visionaries Paradjanov and Tarkovsky or animated features such as this hidden gem) are stunningly unparalleled in their delicate beauty and haunting depth.
Shine A Light

“When I’m tired and all alone/Lord, shine a light on me/When I’m lonesome as can be/Lord, shine a light on me.”
You Know We Keep Talkin’ ‘Bout A Revolution

“No chains can hold me/No walls confine me/I’m sick/There’s not a thing I want to do about it/I’m tired of it all/I guess that I am through with it all/You know we keep talkin’ ’bout a revolution/But the air’s so thin/And you’re still polluting it.”
