A band member's intelligent,
sensitive Q&A Benefit.

I gave a statement that's all.

by Joe B.

Ok, I another foul up on Greek God’s. Before God’s when Titan’s roam new, pristine earth.

Uranus (his father has been raping his wife (Cronos’s) Mother Oceana, Mother Earth.

She complains to her son about Uranus continuous ravaging of her making, she loves her children created from her but Uranus is rapidly killing her, she has no rest from his eternal procreating lust.

Guess there is no alternative for the kid than castrating his father throwing his phallus into the sea.

Later Chrono’s swallows all his children soon as their born except for Zeus who later beats the Titan’s trapping them below earth.

Whew, must read up on them an other mythical figures and relearn lessons taught by these flawed God’s from ages long gone but remembered.

Sunday was a combo birthday party and benefit for POOR Magazine.

It was held inside the Woman’s Building at 18 and Valencia Street in San Francisco, $3 at the door.

The main question & answer man was by Mr. Ian Mackaye (pronounced Ky, think of eye with a K).

He is a song writer, guitarist, singer in the band named Fugazi and co-owner of Dischord Records and also
(long time main driver) of the group in their early days when going to and from gigs.

He was on vacation visiting relatives when other people and he decide to give a benefit Q&A session with much of the proceeds going to POOR Magazine.

Me, with my clean brain, good ears, was thing lots of screaming guys, women in skimpy, giggling outfits…
(So I’m wrong about yelling guys but young girls in skimpy outfits true enough for some of ‘em.")

For the first time in years I’m a guest to watch proceedings like every one while Ms. Ashley, and Dharma two of POOR Magazines shining spoken word poets explained about POOR and were able to enjoy the goings on at the same time.

After a time Dee and Tiny show up for a few micro seconds then depart.

I finally was having enough fun listing to Mr. Ian talk that I better relieve one of the women or some angry Goddess will be pissed off and I never wish to anger any Goddess its not a healthy thing for males to do.

There was a point after Mr. Mackaye recounted inside happenings of being the road, stupid things happening, and personal revelations other people began answering questions so short and simple, others so complex the original questions had gotten lost but Mr. Mackaye always got it back on track to essential basics – improvement of the human condition.

Mr. Mackaye said "he wanted to still do not write about what’s past.

"All I said, raising my hand is "You write songs?"
"Yes."

"Play guitar and sing?"
"Yes."

"When you write your book… and you will, it’s a verb-something you do, it’s a solitary verb but your doing something.

"I don’t know if I sounded that eloquent probably not but I didn’t want him feeling he was ending something because he was writing of his life and times.

But its more him and people will read even if he thinks they won’t.

People are mostly curious and they’ll read what he’s written.

After closing up, we shake hands both saying thanks before Ashley and I drove the precious money to its intended destination.

Ashley and I hug, I wave bye, she drives off in her car.

It’s a warm night its good walking home late at night most times I’m already home reading a book or sometimes across the bay in another bed sleeping.

I didn’t make it tonight, I’m feelin’, it’s a good day. ….Bye.
