feelin near as faded as my jeans…
of course, that was a passing line clipped from janis joplin. at passing glance you might’ve thought i was just riding a wave, a ‘zeitgeist’ from someone else, but seems it was just passing through our heads at the same time at different ends of the world. with a voice that drips female sexuality so thickly and powerfully from every song; i was really just trying to understand ‘Get It While You Can’ (another tune of hers...): while i’m all over ‘me and bobby mcgee’, ‘down on me’, ‘ball and chain’, ‘summertime’, ‘move over’, etcetera, i just can’t feel it here. the 70’s must’ve been great, or i must not be the love child i’ve made myself out as, because on this one simple idea, me and janis, we just can’t agree.
inspired by boot’s quoting out of context:
”Another close call,” said Serge, feeling his neck. “I think God is trying to tell me something.”
“Like what?”
“I think I’m going to try going straight.”
“You?” Coleman laughed. “That’s a hoot!”
“We’ve been staying here a few weeks now, and I’ve been watching Jim over there. Talk about living on the edge. Guys like him don’t get any glory. They’ve just quietly put away childish things and faced the relentless adult responsibility of taking care of others.”
Coleman shook with the willies. “That’s some scary shit!”
