Just arrived about three hours ago.

You’ve got to love the grey head in the foreground of the picture. (From my parents’ timeshare, where we’ll be spending a good portion of the week.

Looking forward to the low 80s.

Arcade Fire – Windowsill

A haunting commentary on current events as only they can tell…

America has its share of problems, and suffers under the weight of trying to solve problems that cannot be solved socio-politically.

May we have the courage to heed warnings aptly given…

I Don’t wanna hear the noises on TV
I Don’t want the salesmen coming after me
I Don’t wanna live in my father’s house no more
I Don’t want it faster, I don’t want it free
I Don’t wanna show you what they done to me
I Don’t wanna live in my father’s house no more
I Don’t wanna choose black or blue
I Don’t wanna see what they done to you
I Don’t wanna live in my father’s house no more

Because the tide is high
And it’s rising still
And I don’t wanna see it at my windowsill

I Don’t wanna give ‘em my name and address
I Don’t wanna see what happens next
I Don’t wanna live in my father’s house no more
I Don’t wanna live with my father’s debt
You can’t forgive what you can’t forget
I Don’t wanna live in my father’s house no more
I Don’t wanna fight in a holy war
I Don’t want the salesmen knocking at my door
I don’t wanna live in America no more

Because the tide is high
And it’s rising still
And I don’t wanna see it at my windowsill
I don’t wanna see it at my windowsill
I don’t wanna see it at my windowsill
I don’t wanna see it at my windowsill

MTV, what have you done to me?
Save my soul, set me free!
Set me free! What have you done to me?
I can’t breathe! I can’t see!
World War III, when are you coming for me?
Been kicking up sparks, we set the flames free
The windows are locked now so what’ll it be?
A house on fire or a rising sea?

Why is the night so still?
Why did I take the pill?
Because I don’t wanna see it at my windowsill

I Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill
I Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill
I Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill

From Shane Bertou‘s blog, with a nod to Dave Ferrier, but most especially to Bob Dylan & I’s shared hero

Bob Dylan – In the Garden

When they came for Him in the garden, did they know ?
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know ?
Did they know He was the Son of God, did they know that He was Lord ?
Did they hear when He told Peter, “Peter, put up your sword” ?
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know ?
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know ?

When He spoke to them in the city, did they hear ?
When He spoke to them in the city, did they hear ?
Nicodemus came at night so he wouldn’t be seen by men
Saying, ?Master, tell me why a man must be born again?
When He spoke to them in the city, did they hear ?
When He spoke to them in the city, did they hear ?

When He healed the blind and crippled, did they see ?
When He healed the blind and crippled, did they see ?
When He said, “Pick up your bed and walk, why must you criticize ?
Same thing My Father do, I can do likewise”
When He healed the blind and crippled, did they see ?
When He healed the blind and crippled, did they see ?

Did they speak out against Him, did they dare ?
Did they speak out against Him, did they dare ?
The multitude wanted to make Him king, put a crown upon His head
Why did He slip away to a quiet place instead ?
Did they speak out against Him, did they dare ?
Did they speak out against Him, did they dare ?

When He rose from the dead, did they believe ?
When He rose from the dead, did they believe ?
He said, “All power is given to Me in heaven and on earth”
Did they know right then and there what that power was worth ?
When He rose from the dead, did they believe ?
When He rose from the dead, did they believe ?
