the kiev trip: paul mcCartney

Saturday, June 28, 2008





We were hanging out in downtown Kiev with Alan for the afternoon and the police cleared everyone out of the area while they ran sound checks on the stage. Everyone was out and about all day just waiting for the show, and everywhere we went, the name "paul mccartney" could be heard whispered among the crowds. Unfortunately we didn't get any video of the actual concert, but there are some great clips posted on youtube from that night. The show was absolutely phenomenal and could not have been better (read about it here). As the Ukrainians say, "molodets Paul."

confusion, causes célèbres, and spinning apologia

To be nothing in the self-effacement of humility, yet, for the sake of the task, to embody its whole weight and importance in your bearing, as the one who has been called to undertake it. To give to people, works, poetry, art, what the self can contribute, and to take, simply and freely, what belongs to it by reason of its identity. Praise and blame, the winds of success and adversity, blow over such a life without leaving a trace or upsetting its balance. 
Towards this, so help me, God--
[Dag Hammarskjold]
if my thought-dreams could be seen, they'd probably put my head in a guillotine. 
but it's alright, ma, it's life and life only...
