Dancetime Day

A Russian Rendering..Ivan Bilibin..beautiful for today..(image Wikipedia)

Times good rhymes, fairy tales, some hold for true and free..with babes, family animals round a fine fir tree..one grown on the hillside..seems just for you and me..special is the timeride..let’s swim the yuletide sea..

The tree speaks of the air and clouds snow no carried dirt..good dog he smiles naturally no harm, foul or hurt..children laugh excitement..learn to play the toys..that hid inside packages called expected joys..

Horse whinny on road where it passes round the bend..behind the hill next to the path goes to the home of Ben..who married Bobbies sister..saw them just yesterday..spoke of  who may visit..come here..come all this way..

‘Distance can be a challenge’..I said to build a thought on how things are traveled..given sensed or caught..the sky may change a mood..sunlight or sudden dark..but where I’ve been and where I go love will make a mark..

Amiable warm feeling..walk across the yard..the horse is getting closer..did I send that card?..The sun is shining beautifully on ‘by the road hill’..clear holiday is my way..do recieve or will..

To say ‘I love you’..so easy to say..the feel what people gag on..such a hobbled way..open is the answer..feel, understand to do..a key for any dancer..a Christmas gift for you.

MERRY CHRISTMAS..Peace Tony

Quilted Time

Over here look..Blue..red and then some gold..emotions thoughts Captain Hooke..safe there in the fold..of the fine linen..knit by Grandma’s hand..to cover all her children..with dreams they understand..change in life’s toy store..the wagon is a car..best to drive..storm, sun survive sleet and ice what’s more..power smooth gets you there..so pretty you could cry..with family safe and warm..under Grandma’s eye.

LOVE HAS NO BORDERS..Leningrad 1925

Apples green or red..tart or sweet it goes..fools will be fooled still..smell onion by the nose..do you bite the apple..taste just has to show..Onion or an apple pie..one really has to know..speak of blundered history..hero legends long..story, witness poem for true..rendered in a song..set stone in smiling faces..children, women saved..by hero’s past..time so vast..Hero Leiutenant Dave..

Long time plans smashed by the violent..evil on the rise..the same now..as in the past..under Grandma’s eyes..the sky filled with examples..of beauty sight and sound..some do evil some do good..folks will come around..some taint what is not tainted..some paint or write a poem..elfin faces laughing..flipped off by a gnome..time is honor love and faith..I know the reason why..this day different by some the same..as under Grandma’s Sky..

Time passes..mankind must grow..in continual holiday..Peace Tony

Relief Tree

“]

As Friends Gathered they Gather for All Time..[via wikipedia

Mirror reflect back the sea image true natural of me..combine friends, loves of the past..acquainted by the cosmic vast..sparkle sea around my head..my heart and mind love what was said..

In the forest mountains alleys..city country the last valley..There are things to help be grown..stars to see..not ever known..sit the log..put on the earth..express grief to leaf  the worth..

Down the path sun shade to see..speckle sun..pond and there be..glowing growing ever right relief tree both day and night..I have climbed the branch and bough..just alive not asking how..

With a girl a friend a dog..running on rocks moss and log..fall no pain for grassy be..the rich soil and the relief tree..flowers for a moment there..past the thicket beauty stares..at the sparkle of life free..calm peace love the relief tree..

In times of decoration..the ultimate decorator..always gives..Peace Tony

Await..promised..

 

 

 

One artist calls this wrath..I see this 'presentation' as an opportunity to act...

Promise was given nought by the traveled man who took the time to watch the drama just to understand..the child so  full of dreams..sitting in his fate..the promise in his mind..he sits just to wait..

Promises to those who trust..hope, love and believe..sometimes given in convenience..just to relieve..anxious in believers..for what they know could be..promises that come so easy mean ‘don’t bother me’..

Mother she is watching..does the child not see?..eye for an eye mother thought most angrily..her brother always saying..things he cannot do..a broken promise to a child can make old moms a shrew..the child awaits the due..

Letters off to Santa Clause in his North Pole home..child sees him at Macy’s then reads a poem..about the telescope with Santa at the other end..Santa will bring gifts and  Mom and Dad just must pretend..

The stranger he just chuckles..uncle was a fool..not romantic just a child who never finished school..about the harmless stories..then the vicious lie..one promotes a dream and love..the other makes kids cry..

 

A person awaiting a promised thing..building a dream on the moment that thing comes..waits in vain..then in vain..must  pretend it does not matter..again, avoiding the truth..learning to lie..Peace Tony

Altamont..Realization Again

Image via Wikipedia

   

On Christmas Day 1969 I made a decision not to go to the second ‘Stones’ concert in three weeks.  Altamont on Dec. 6th maybe..I don’t know what made it that way..but I can tell you..it was no Woodstock.  Though only a few months later…it was as if the love and peace..the good feeling of the sixties was being launched into the disco plastics of the seventies all at once..   

and  everyone was fighting like hell to keep that from happening.     

(This  is a stream of consciousness writing..true to feeling..to my fingers)    

The Rolling Stones performed a free concert..as a ‘Christmas Present to the United States of America‘..no one would touch them after that.less they were crazy. (touch=harm)      

It is wierd..almost physical when I watch the opening number and attendant dances..Knowing some of the players..it is like being someplace I wasn’t once again..and feeling everything.  I will say I am a blues man.        

The security at Altamont was reportedly arranged by the Grateful Dead.  The President of the Walnut Creek Chapter of the Hells Angels..Sonny Barger agreed to do this..so the HA’s were security..might say they had good security for Altamont..      

This and the times changed history..ended a life..and changed minds..hearts..and lives of those who went on.      

There were four hundred thousand people attending that Alatamont concert.  Four died there.  Four were born there.      

As Jagger and Stones started the Sympathy for the Devil..a skirmish broke out..the first words from those who where close enough..have varied.  I have heard it repeated in four different versions of what was said.      

The incident was fast..less than 45 seconds.  A member of the HA’s got into an argument with a black man..the black man pulled a gun and was stabbed to death for his impertinence, fear and stupidity.  I am not judging the man..it is just that is probably why he was killed.      

In 1969 the resident number of Hells Angels in California was twenty five thousand charter members.  (members of charter HA clubhouses)  The Walnut Creek chapter was sizeable.  It was a 1% club..their colors are red and white..they were formed after WWII by members of the famed Flying Tigers.        

China Marines.      

It is the only time I know of that Mick Jagger has ever stopped a perfomance for anything..much less a concert of that size.  If one has not seen this particular video..although some of the scenes are fuzzed over..from the original film..shot from the stage..it is clear how confusing it was..and how much pressure was on.  He told everyone to cool out..cool out..as folks involved were ducking..getting away..      

another crowd may have run in panic..      

Shortly after the incident..Jagger said..’every time we start that song something funny happens’..one HA on the stage turned and looked at him..like ‘yeah this is a real panic’..Jagger started the song once more..The Stones were playing..there were peace freaks and hippies looking at Jagger with beseeching eyes and shaking their heads..everyone went into a role and every one of them believed it.  The older club members had the attitude of the man who turned to look at the icon of rock..the young ones were all being tough as Clint Eastwood..but let me tell you..sarcasm..jokes or not..I knew some of those fellas..they were serious..down to it..for the record let me say..if a frightened man..or anyone pulled a gun on one close to me..to hell with them..no one was charged with that killing..I do not say murder because it was not..it was a security guard force defending a life of a member of that force.  Jagger saw the beseeching eyes..he remembered words said to him by one of the club members..      

he turned..began to move with the music..his music..his band..and he shook and shimmied..and got down..got funky and tough..he did not belong to anyone..he had killed no one..he was giving a free concert..it is seen as it was..      

I am glad I missed Altamont..I am equally glad of the video..it renders the times..each of the faces is returning from the sixties..and looking..I have not been to a Stones concert for a long time..Maybe it was Altamont..I love that song..’Angie’ and ’Miss You’ always put me in rhythm..I do Jagger-Richards songs..it is not that..just..that time…      

Peace Tony
