In n mexico he saw navajo scourging themselves, their acompanadores dragging heavy crosses stitched from mesquite branches; these were followed by spaniards and the navajo women singing hymns. In a wagon sat death beckoning his penitentes to the churchyard where they would compete to be the chosen crucifixion, good friday.

Hitch Ditch
Fully stocked with Sol beer, Nogales agave, dope weed, weedy dope, inhalers, rebreathers, merc coke, Marlboro reds, Sunny D singlets, organic pork cutlets, Spotify cued to a tight James Gang playlist by an avatar alleging herself a her-self named Juanita, Allen Copatit should have been more engaged with his weekend of tequila sunrises, but no, he was sober, and rabbit holed on YouTube watching Christopher Hitchens decimate true believers; first the rabbi, then the preacher, then the mullah -- there was a joke there somewhere, but for Hitch dead of cancer that only the mullah thinks God cached.

Maysles Stones and GOAT
Albert Maysles died an old man recently. Is it ironic that documentary not only remains vital, but flourishes on Netflix and the like, whereas 'film', er, 'movies', feel like a limp refillable for the greater world, er, Asia?
Narrative is musical chairs. TV is literature, Video Games are movies, Internet is TV; movies? Movies are a fading but lucrative gimmick for the third world. Like Catholicism.
Maysles. Watched Gimme Shelter again, and seeing Richards/Jagger with Tina/Ike reminded me of an old fantasy booking. Suppose the two groups traded singers?
This is not a Jagger critique, but is Tina Turner fronting the Stones on Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street, the greatest fantasy draft rock band of all time?

Music Critic
Early on both Michael Jackson and Prince relied on vocal tics and gimmicks, these squeaks, yelps, and wails had a shelf life for both -- the difference is: at his worst Prince sounds like a ham actor playing Puck if Baz Luhrman envisioned A Midsummer Night's Dream; and Michael Jackson sounds like a child molester.

Love Poem 1
The book says words
are the dead things in your heart
To my love:
Let me speak of old feasts
Of old loves I am far from
So can laugh at
dissect, dissertate,
Wither why, wonder if,
And close those books.
The day will never come
That I will do this with your book
The day will never come
When I will have the words
For you.

The Geomancer
In the low he drew lines through the leaves that sceptered the moonlight as it came from over-down the canyon. From this glowing that looked like a prisoner's calendar he arithmeticed the count of days that would get us to the top, where the Captain promised a town of wonders - (likely a trough of rainwater guarded by tremorous natives).

The Man Who Changed Content
The WWE Network is ten bucks a month. It includes the monthly PPVs that did cost fifty. It includes the tape library of every major wrestling television programming in American history, on demand. It includes every WWE pay per view in history, on demand. It is wrestling Netflix, YouTube, and special event viewer, all in one, streamed via Apple, Playstation, Xbox, Roku, Internet TV, or computer. But not available on television in the old way. Vince is the first content provider to cut the throat of that longstanding middleman. Even as cable kills network, the creators kill them.
One wonders how much credit the carny will get once some Bill Maher or Will Ferrell tries the same thing. Certainly Vinnie Mac is not the guy the New York Times is looking to fete. Fuck'em. Just another dinosaur drowning in the swamp, that turd newspaper.
Progress, comrades!

Devil Motel
the dark ones sing the day is bright
and make specious claims
that the Lamb is Light
while in the copse there is a manse
where the dead are props
for our nightly dance
