chanson d'amour

prenez-vous du cafe? oh, oui oui merci! avec lait!!

so I go to the French Festival at lovely Oak Park a little early to check out the vibe...new owners mean some changes maybe...well, the festival got off to a sloooow start with a goofy kid from Lompoc as the new emcee and old dude and his young wife doing some tango dances....more like shuffling because the guy kept running out of breath..and did more talking than dancing...I didn't get it...and why can't I get a young chick?? why???

ok so the next act is a beat up looking old bleach blonde chick singer and her guitarist...this chick was weird...she stopped and said she couldn't do the show because her MP3s weren't available..I guess she needed some pre-recorded accompaniment to help her out...then she throws a little tantrum and finally the crowd coaxes a few songs out of her..then she stops again and says the guitarist is going too fast and she can't keep up....then she starts singing a slower song...actually she wasn't bad but the attitiude was nutty..then she tells everyone where she'll be singing next..then she says she needs a drink! who does she think she is..Edith Piaff???

Laura Weinbach

whew...the morning was saved by a young singer named Laura Weinbach wearing a lovely yellow summer dress...she sang and played a nice jazzy guitar and the smoke from the BBQs were drifting over the stage and the music mixed with the aroma and the laughter of the little children and the dogs barking....it was delightful!


pour les chiens
dogs..speaking of dogs ... before I left for the festival, I see on the front page of the News-Press that Wendy gave more divorce money to the Santa Maria Humane Society for their new dog hotel! hey Wendy who the French fuck cares..I certainly don't..it's pathetic you have to buy you influence and your friends..and the Santa Maria Humane Society should be ashamed, I say ashamed of themselves, for accepting such blood money from a criminal such as Wendy P....

and then we have a story about Joe Armendariz who is soon to begin "house arrest" for alcohol related crimes..Joe belongs to the cult Carp Reality church and the Cavalry church in Santa Barbara...apparently Joe, having burned all his bridges in Carp, will move to Santa Barbara and become a minister...

the only possible way I can make any sense of all this is to re-read the I Ching...I think I missed something!

Joe Armendariz moving to Santa Barbara? Where there are already enough cultist alcoholics. Upstanding sloppy wet and despicable dry drunks abound. You should beg him to stay and minister to the brotherhoods in Carpinteria. Please.

Wendy builds a doggie motel? Front page, indeed. What is it about these childless, misenthropes who turn their affections so fiercely on our furry friends? I suppose it's a positive sign that some where inside her deep, dark anger perverted heart there lingers a small light of love that say "I want to love something." With these small acts, at least that love tries to shine it way out of the chasm of hatred she's built around herself, from her fear of having become only a walking checkbook that others will take advantage of, stripping her of her loot and leaving her, well, ordinary again. In my heart of hearts, I hope that perhaps someday she will let that light deep within her blaze with hope and love for all and let it shine its warmth upon all people. Oh, wait, she's the one who fired working fathers and wives from her paper because she could bring in interns cheaper. Naw....
