Peace, Love, and Understanding
Jesus & Einstein
Late at night, I would listen to the voices of the American masters: Toni Tenille, Debby Boone, Anne Murray-- who was actually a Canadian, working in the American idiom. And then there were the crypto-homo rockers: Lou Reed, lggy Pop, David Bowie-- who was actually an idiom working in America and Canada. These artists, they left as deep an impression on me as that oven rack did on my face. To be a young American in muskrat love, soft as an easy chair, not even the chair, "I am," I said, "Have I never been mellow?" And the coloured girls sing... Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do Do, do-do, do-do Do, do-do, do, do-do, do-do... But never with the melody. How could I do it better than Toni or Lou? "Hey, boy... take a walk on the wild side!"
