- Inspiration
------------------------------------ There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.
----------------------------------- Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 614 playsWitchita Lineman - Glen Campbell - 1968
mmmm… psychedelic country - My mom used to play this record when I was a little kid.
This song fascinated me. The singer sung that he could hear someone in the powerlines and he sang about how he loved them. So I listened to the powerlines too and if you listen, they all have a kinda buzz/hum to them - it sounds very alien - so then whenever I would hear the the song, it felt like a love song to the aliens.
It made me intensely happy and still does to this day.
