That's right! Your deductible donation to the performing arts goes straight
into the hat, and one hundred percent of administration fees are not enough
to keep the magic alive. If you have ever giggled silly from too much fun
or taken an idea to heart then now is the season to put something
back. If you have enjoyed the show or merely walked by, even if you didn't
have a penny in your pocket at the time, please pledge your support of
starving artists now. The magic can only be kept alive by donations from
viewers like you.
Is There Life After
Tower Records Sunset?
— a poem by Rod McKuen and
read by Mark Turner.
This is eclectic esoterica. It is o.k. if you don't get it.
I had never before read the poem, you witness a frigidly a cold reading.
I wasn't expecting so many names of classical composers, where I stumbled.
The real point of this was one big joke - reading a famous poem about the great cosmic question "Is There Life After Tower Sunset?" on the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Horn, in front of the Sunset Tower Records in it's final death throes of discounts.
It turned out to be not very funny, in four sections.
Poignant though it is, The question does not remain unanswered.
The answer IS both yes and no.
No. There is no life after Tower. There is a cold lifeless shell where once there was vivacious vibrancy.
Yes. There is life after Tower. There is a cold glow in a flow of gold. Napster sells MP3's displayed on iPad screens and iPhones screen iTunes for iPods.
Sick and Goiter is the brick and mortar. Price is king, good musical advice from a music store clerk seems less valuable than online transaction efficiency.
Folks will still purchase music, just not Sunday, Sunday, Sunday where Rock and Roll and classical COLLIDE!
If you still don't get it, just think of it as an arts piece, and know that deep down in my heart, neither do I.
