We should show our individuality not only across the style of dressing ourselves, but also by our head-dresses.
According to latest tendencies, head-dresses have to be as most natural. - We turn already to natural slaughter-houses, to the natural texture of hair. Such which can be blow-dried, does not it is necessary them to press with the iron, does not it is necessary them to turn on brushes, absolutely not to comb back, rolls on the head also already are not necessarily timely - Philip Galas speaks. - We found that these natural head-dresses, completely free, completely loose, this this is, what to wear will be. |

This song probably isn't about Leonard Cohen, but it could be... Does anybody know who it's really about?<< Hrmm... Maybe you'll change your mind concerning the possibility it's about LC when you learn it's actually _base_d on someone Ochs never met but whom he came to know quite well because, during the time he lived in the Village, all sorts of really interesting, unusual, and downright weird ppl kept knocking on his door asking for someone named Lenny. Turns out the guy who'd rented the apartment before him was named Sylvester .... Nah, j/k. He was named Lenny and, after meeting several of Lenny's acquaintances, etc, Ochs began to get a sense of him and Lenny took on a life of his own in Ochs's mind, thanks to the friends and various other signs of the former tenant so, rather than tell the parade to his door over and over that Lenny didn't live there anymore, he wrote Lenny's obituary in song (since it's a tune somewhat related thematically to LC's Dress Rehearsal Rag). There may be an element of Lenny Bruce to it (since Ochs was involved with Jerry Rubin at one point in the mid-sixties) but, the above true story is the most likely. Ochs wrote Changes, The Power And The Glory, Draft Dodgers Rag, and I Ain't Marchin' Anymore. He's often grouped with Ian & Sylvia, David Bromberg, Tim Hardin, Randy Newman, Eric Anderson, John Prine, Steve Goodman, et. al. and was always considered Dylan's second-best competition. Apparently, Dylan physically threw him out of a taxi in NY one time and as he did so, he cursed him for being a singing journalist. I liked Ochs quite a bit but he was serially anti-drug use and that didn't endear him to many during the sixties. He offed himself in Far Rockaway, though, and a Canadian band, Blue Rodeo, made a sort of Ochsian tribute out of one its tunes on Casino (which I think I sent you, right?). HTH. Bo

Somewhat related - There is: The Best Of Broadside 1962-1988:... [BOX SET] Various Artists - Folk that just came out a couple of months ago. (- i haven't got i - yet)<< It was dis_gus_ted who was wondering about the song so he deserves the thanks, ~greg. I wasn't aware of the set you mention above; but, I would think it would be a worthy investment/acquisition, especially since it contains the best (IMO) version of Little Boxes <ahem ever recorded (Malvina Reynolds).

Bo ++ It was good to hear Little Boxes again. ( There's a wav of it here: http://monkfish.com/boxes/ - it's only a minute long -) but she says here: http://www.sisterschoice.com/sporadic-2.html that she was thinking of adding a verse: Monster atom plants by the riverside, Monster atom plants made of ticky-tacky, Monster atom plants by the seaside, Monster atom plants all the same, In New York state and Michigan, Oklahoma and California, And they're all made out of ticky-tacky And they leak death all the same. which reminded me of Dylan's 'I will not go down under the ground' - a code i'd like to think i'm know to sign by. I mean in reference to monster atom - - it's sad that its leaking could still be able to bother you - and me, but now I try to see it as road-kill - and don't feed the road-kill. ~greg ps: I just cut and pasted the _title_ (and play-list) from amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004VWX0/qid=974392964/sr=1-... pps: - very glad you're back. - although it means I gotta think harder!
