UPDATE: There will be a online performance at the Silophone by Lee Rosevere on July 16, with the opportunity for audience participation. Get more datafacts at this internet location.--
After the US pulls out of Iraq, and Iran takes over the Iraqi oil fields maybe we'll all start to realize that the American century is over.
When gasoline is $15 an ounce and the skies are as hot as fire, then maybe all of us in the US will relax a little bit and start to become interesting like our good friends in the nation of France, who have allowed some of their citizens to hook an old grain silo up to the internet so that everyone in the world can play sounds into it and listen to the reverb.
The US version of such a thing could of course be so much more vital.
Or maybe the United States will actually manage to pacify Iraq and turn it into farmland to grow hemp for bio-diesel. The Live Earth concerts got nine million internet streams in one day. That ought to be enough to solve all of our problems. Thanks Mr. Sting, or whoever came up with the stunningly novel idea to have a rock show to stop global warming. Your Live Earth concert gave me something to do while I stayed inside with the air conditioning on full blast.
Speaking of concerts, please allow me to toot my own horn: Hollow Tree's got free music. You don't have to listen to it. You just have to download it.
