Convincing

i have a strange connection to sex and the city. when 9/11 happened, i was in toronto, recording with nojo. i can remember that morning, michael occhipiniti was supposed to get another musician at the airport, then pick me up at my hotel. i sat in the lobby waiting. he was hours late. mysteriously, i would occasionally hear people talking about something, but i couldn’t figure out what. finally, i went back to my room, turned on the set, and there it was: a tape loop of the same grisly scene on every channel that would last until i left toronto. we did record something, but i for one was completely distracted, and then with all flights cancelled i was stuck there for a week after that. i was unsure whether going home was prudent (there was already talk of anthrax), but i’d just moved into my new home. entertainment was hard to come by on cable. i did something i’ve never done: i went to sam the record man and bought a boxed set of sex and the city, a show i’d never sat and watched, just so i wouldn’t hafta watch the news. it’s a perfectly good show, but i bonded with it because i had to. the show is like valium for me. i think it should be on somewhere every day, on a channel with i love lucy and the original warner brothers cartoons, shows that are culturally basic to our identity and are sadly missing from my cable schedule.

I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

“What kind of things?”
“Little things.”

But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You’re gonna have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
