This Week in Limerick!

This weekend, I’ll attend the Big Range Dance Festival here in Austin. It’s a collection of contemporary dance, and sweet Maggie will perform as part of Spank Dance. Ellen Bartel is the producer/director, and she knows how to put together a wonderful show for the arts lover and the layman alike. Southpawjones.com is an official sponsor. Check it out!

Southpawlitics

All is right with the world, friends, which is to say all is left. One is white, one is black, and both candidates for president are left-handed, representing my race in their quest to lead the nation. After 2 decades of prosperity and relative peace with lefties Reagan, Bush Sr., and Clinton in the White House, we’ve now suffered through eight years of disaster with right-handed Bush Jr. (It doesn’t help that he’s also dumb, arrogant, and hard-headed.) Let’s get a left-handed American back in there to see what we can do about all this.

What I mean by the Muse is that unimpeded clearness of the intuitive powers, which a perfectly truthful adherence to every admonition of the higher instincts would bring to a finely organized human being. It may appear as prophecy or as poesy. … should these faculties have free play, I believe they will open new, deeper and purer sources of joyous inspiration than have as yet refreshed the earth.

Moon Board

Sometimes people give me things at shows. Tips, e-mail addresses, drinks, advice, mononucleosis, etc. I dig it. Last week, at Flipnotics @ the Triangle, Bruce McCormick gave me a picture of a chalkboard. Lo, this was no ordinary chalkboard, mind you, because on it, his wife Rebecca had created a work of art inspired by my song Moon Whore. (Available on Matt the Electrician & Southpaw Jones, Playing: Live @ Café Mundi.) I absolutely love it. It was a complete surprise, it’s beautiful, and it contains two heavenly bodies! Rebecca is a Chalkboard Artist here in Austin, the kind of town where art inspires art which in turn inspires art, then we all lay in the sun for a while before making more art. Thanks for sharing, Bruce & Rebecca!
