July 2 and July 4

JULY 2

Letters to my mother, written by me (and my girlfriend Gail), in 1970-1971, bundled up and hung at the Temple at Burning Man in 2017. They were burned along with the Temple at the end of the event. Gail (1954-1982) would have been 70 today.

Musical Interlude

Masters of War - Bob Dylan (1963)
(Avener Rework)(2018)



You fasten all the triggers / For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch / When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion / While the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies / And is buried in the mud.
