A Girl And Her Belated Earth Day, 4/24

But what, of all things, has brought down our emissions, says the New York Times? The recession.

the proverbial sliver lining:)

I'm celebrating Earth Day on Friday (yes, the 24th) to celebrate a great People's Endeavor. I'm part of an Earth Day lineup outside Grand Central Station where my train line, Metro North, runs. A train line is not what this Earth Day concert is about, but it's why I'm doing it. A year ago, I called Metro North and said I was helping an 11-year-old (not a total lie. I have one...within) write a report about Metro North's fuel consumption. I got a great call with statistics that I, an actual busy grown-up, lost. But Metro North carries 80 million passengers a year, and I did figure out that each of these people used, on average, half a gallon of gas and a few kilowatt hours of electricity per ride. On top of this, millions of cars don't need new parking lots, parking meters, pavement, and basic infrastructure that exceeds that of train stations. It takes me 3 gallons of gas to get to the city in a car that gets 44 mpg (stalkers, get out those calculators!).

ahh metro north. i used to take it every day. i hope to take it again soon. there is a new initiative to connect mass to new york thru new haven and so i wont have to drive half way to catch the train. now if they can only do something about the lack of security id be taking it every day. i must say it was disconcerting to get on that train every day and never be searched or asked a question. and then there were the grenades they found on the fence next to the train. ive driven since then. not one for explosive incidents in any form:)

I say, hoorah for trains. They are the least subsidized, most fuel efficient form of public transportation. Please join me in NYC on Friday. I'm through with thinking I'm going to read about the impact that our actions have. I'll just approach things sacramentally, starting with my wonderful, local commuter rail, Metro North.

Best Wishes,
Dar

PS: Also excited about celebrating The Progressive's 100th Anniversary in Wisconsin and Pete Seeger's birthday at Madison Square Garden. More on that later. Also did a STELLAR tour with the amazingly and multi-talented Melissa Ferrick in California. I love her, on stage and off.

i love melissa too! lol

Footnote: what a silly girl, I already know where she live ;) Ps, she's picking the tour right back up and going through the end of 09. Besides a couple of little junkets in NE she has a Chicago gig 8/23. I don't know what happened in Oregon, but those shows cancelled.
im looking forward to a dar concert of two. the concert season is upon us! yay!

Trains: I love the trains of NY. Rode it in and out of the city throughout middle and hs. After midnight it was like a gigantic party bus. I was on a train ride into the city with a much older friend the day John Lennon was shot down. Met Donna Karan that day too. It was a strange day. My friend was a Parsons instructor and her friend was a protege at some designer house, who went on to be known as DKNY.

I {heart} trains. And teachers. And still feel the loss of John Lennon. With the exception of Reagan winning that election year the assassination of JL really kicked off a decade of unbelievable weirdness. And the only tie-in there is the news came while on a train. Ok? I'm still tired from last nights post-a-thon.

ok shes cute. i feel a need to wash all of that makeup off

Lipstick's too dark.

wow. you two are a rough crowd. why don't we wipe the lipstick off, shave her head, tie her down until she confesses to enjoying it slap a big fat rainbow on her ass before we send her running home with her tool belt crying like a little boi? For starters. Maybe I'll invite her to be a MYSPACE friend and then shun her. lol

:) Sorry. I REALLY WAS saying it from a professional point of view, if that helps at all.
IN MY OPINION the dark lipstick ages her a good five years, at LEAST, and detracts from her beauty.

If I were her agent, or show director, or makeup artist, I would opt for something in a lighter shade.

You know? I'm going to have to "process" this P/A stuff. I'll be back. She's not my "type". Well, she's got the whole field hockey part down, but I can't see her in a dress down to her knees. lolol.

Grief is a funny thing, there's no standard measure. A person doesn't have any idea for whom or what they will grieve or HOW. It's really very weird. I hope your friend has a swift and healthy mourning process.
i hope so. right now shes caught up in the will drama. now that sucks. money divides at a time when the lives of the loved ones should bring people together
Alix AND Wendy will be both be there. As a matter of fact, (name escapes me) CEO President, some such with an ovarian cancer diagnosis, treatment and RECOVERY, she was/is with Columbia Sportswear. I am a huge fan, love the hats and fleece jackets. It will be a great event. It'll at least introduce me, open my mind to the "spoken art" form as is Alix. ;) (RAP) lol.

A Girl And Her Belated Earth Day, 4/24

Are you feeling as demoralized as I am never hearing the impact that our collective transit-over-car miles, solar panels, cloth bags, green roofs, local food movements, tree plantings, tree plantings by Disney, wind farms, donations towards solar cookers over dung ovens and compact fluorescent lightbulbs are having on global warming? I was a real nerd for a long time when it came to the environment. Now, instead of pretending I'm an eccentric lady with sticks in her hair who's CRAZILY passing on a pile of napkins and double cups at the cafe, I say no thanks and get smiles of approval and understanding. I see smaller cars and daring town initiatives. I know the world is changing. I travel everywhere, and I see it EVERYWHERE. But what, of all things, has brought down our emissions, says the New York Times? The recession.

I'm a coffee house listener mostly ... # 30 on sirius radio. Its a mix of just about everything ... but all acoustic. That's not to say I don't listen to other stuff .. really, there's a lot of stations available .. but I find myself drawn back to that one station most often.

Maybe that's why the label of "oldie" caught me so off guard ... it's all just music when I'm hearing it .....

I listen to the current music a few times out of the month to see whats new and who's new. A lot of it is laced with "oldie" and, some re do's less appealing than the original. MY favorite station while driving plays a mix of old and new. I love all music but, the lesser liked I have to be in a special mood to tolerate. Classical is only for naps and, house cleaning. I'm not sure if I go back to a particular period of time in my life by the choice of music (which is mostly oldies)but, I do know that some songs come on and, evoke the past and, hauntingly I am there as if it was only yesterday.

I think I'm gonna pick up the book and go prepared .. just in case.

i haven't read it. will the speakers have tables set up for book sales? if so im sure she wouldn't mind giving you an autograph if you've purchased the book.

Carry the book around with you boldly and, just maybe beforehand without having to brave a long line the two of you will happen upon each other. I have not read her new book. I go look at your link to her. Gator

Maya Angelou will be a speaker at this years nj governors conference for women .. which I just happen to be attending in may (w00t) and I was thinking (as is everyone else probably) how nice it would be to get one of her works autographed .. and just so happens she has a new one out titled ... "Letter to my Daughter", which after listening to her talk about it here http://www.mayaangelou.com/april15.html seems darn near perfect. Has anyone read it yet ???

There'll probably be a line of seekers in front of her right? Or do you think I would come off as a putz asking her ??

I think I'm gonna pick up the book and go prepared .. just in case.

cool beans ... thanks! and the /light bulb/windchime thingie ... looks like ikea, the early years ... lol

This blast from the past reminds me of what happened last week. So I'm getting my hair done and there's three of us in the salon, me the woman doing my hair and a shampoo girl. Radio is up, tunes blasting .. good stuff ... fleetwood mac, the stones, bon jovi ... and we're chatting it up .. laughing and having a fine time when all of a sudden there's a lull in the conversation and at that exact moment the radio station identifies itself .....

as the oldie station !!!

oldies?? ... can't be ... no way. So I say to no one in particular .. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? When did Stevie Nicks and Cher turn into the oldies ???

The woman doing my hair was like ... I know !!! Can you believe it ..and we started to do the math ... letseehere .. it's 2009 ... this was 1974 .. maybe '75 .... that's ah ... like what .. omfg .. that's like 35 years !!! Now the shampool girl/child looking at us and rolling her eyes .. (I'm sure she was born in like 1990 or something)

so silly as it seems it was a moment for me ... which, as you can see, I'm still working through ...lol

-----------------

OK, see that next to the last icon thingie above the body of a text when replying, that looks like a film strip? Click it. When I do that, another box appears and "undefined" appears in it. I backspace out the word undefined, making the space blank and then insert from You Tube (on the right hand side of the page) NOT the thing that says "embed" but the other one with the www.http://... thing in that newly emptied box, and then ... I can't remember what. LOL. Click "Yew Betcha!" or something. (It's "OK") At that point, a bracketed phrase will appear in the body of your text.

I tend to then do a preview and check to see that it's actually shown up before clicking "submit"

My hand to Gawd, I had the YOU TUBE of her singin' Big Yellow Taxi all cued up, and RTG, and then remembered you sorta had dibs on it! LOL.

omg, that's kinda coolcreepy. Lemme ask this, do internet friends start looking like each other after time? You know, like pets, and old couples?

LOL. Well, before you boot John Edwards and replace him with me, you DID use the phrase "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot" at least once in the last .... oy ... time frames are sorta difficult for me right now ... three months?

THE SOUL IS THE ROCK
(Lightfoot)
Gordon Lightfoot - 1975

"The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved.
Nothing is disputed, yet nothing is disproved.
And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago.
Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow.
Say what you like to do what you do.
Everyone's sleeping now, two by two.
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall.
Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall.

Big rain comin'; Big rain comin' this way.
Rain on the rock; Rain on the rock; Rain on the rock.

The sea is the space which the rock has displaced.
The mind is some stranger that the soul has embraced.
And somewhere between, in a no-man's land of dreams,
The heart becomes the soldier yet the rock is not redeemed.
Say what you like to do what you can,
Live like a sheep, die like a lamb.
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall.
Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall.

Big rain comin'; Big rain comin' this way.
Rain on the rock; Rain on the rock; Rain on the rock.

The soul is the rock and the rock will always roll,
In circles 'round the sun doing rings around the pole.
When the mind is not sure what the heart will do next.
The rock becomes the master and the road becomes what's left.
Late one night when the moon shone down.
We went to the mill on the edge of the town.
She wore white, I wore black.
The town was sleeping when we got back.

Big rain comin'; Big rain comin' this way.
Rain on the rock; Rain on the rock; Rain on the rock.

The soul is the rock and the rock will not be harmed.
Though man must be cheated just as women must be charmed.
And the mind is the light for the heart which cannot see.
The soul becomes the stranger but the rock will always be.
Say what you like to do what you do.
Everyone's sleeping now two by two.
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall.
Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall,

Oh Big rain comin'; Big rain comin' this way.
Rain on the rock; Rain on the rock; Rain on the rock.

The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved.
Nothing is disputed yet nothing is disproved.
And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago.
Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow.
And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago.
Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow."

great songs ... love the beatles and Joni (just saying in case a body had a mind to g'head and post some of her loverly music)

My most favorite Earth Day song ...

You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

How high will the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

I love the words. Who's song?

Can't believe I didn't include this info with the original post, sorry.

Stephen Schwatz wrote the lyrics

Alan Menken wrote the music

Written for the Disney movie Pocahontas

I love the words. Who's song? I love Marvin Gaye " Mercy Mercy Me". I like saying that too. lol I also like "Air" from Hair. Gator

Mercy Mercy Me
Marvin Gaye

Verse 1:
Emaj7 Emaj7
Ah, mercy, mercy me,
C#m7 C#m7 F#m7
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no.
F#m7
Where did all the blue skies go?
Amaj7 Amaj7
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east.

Verse 2:
Mercy, mercy me,
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no.
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon
our seas fish full of mercury,

Verse 3:
Oh, mercy, mercy me.
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no, no.
Radiation underground and in the sky;
animals and birds who live near by are dying.

Verse 4:
Oh, mercy, mercy me.
Ah, things ain't what they used to be.
What about this over crowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
