Jack Kerouac's "Poetry for the Beat Generation"
06/Sep/2008 |
spoken word
| permalinkage
"A beautifully vivid set from Jack Kerouac -- one that has him reading his own music set to spare piano accompaniment by Steve Allen -- most of which was improvised for the set. The pairing of Kerouac and Allen seems an unlikely one, but it really works well here -- as Jack's quite relaxed in the studio, and really reads with a bit more feeling than usual -- really put at ease by Allen's surprisingly great piano lines, which never try to dominate, and mostly just tinkle lightly behind Kerouac's recitations."

The Day the Music Died II : A Tribute to Jerry Garcia
09/Aug/2008 |
tribute
| permalinkage
Jerry passed on thirteen years ago today. As a way to mark the occasion, I'm posting an old cassette tape, recently digitized, that I recorded from a tribute hosted on KLCC 89.7 FM in Eugene following the tragic news. It is a mix of people calling in and expressing pretty raw emotions with a fine selection of tunes from Garcia's vast repertoire. Listening to it now brings back that sad day in August 1995, though I think it is important to feel joy for his time here on Earth and the gifts that he gave us and not get bogged down in the feelings of loss.
Happy listening, and keep on truckin'!

Dalai Lama on Compassion * 4.12.08 * Seattle
19/May/2008 |
teachings
| permalinkage
The Dalai Lama's keynote address to 50,000 people in Seattle's Qwest Field, the largest event of the 5-day Seeds of Compassion conference. I was fortunate to be there and found it, not surprisingly, to be very moving and inspirational. The recording isn't the greatest, but still I believe His Holiness' message gets transmitted. Hope it inspires compassion in all who hear it...

The Dalai Lama, appearing onstage at BC Place in Vancouver, B.c. on May 18, 2004, delivered a talk on "Universal Responsibilities." He was joined by fellow Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu (his interpreter is on the left). This special transmission from Radio Free Fundi is a recording of his talk from that day, inspired by His Holiness' recent visit to Seattle. Stay tuned to RFF for his "Seeds of Compassion" address from Seattle's Qwest Field in a future episode...

I attended this address, and later wrote a story for the local weekly newspaper about my experiences with the Dalai Lama in Canada:
"Whatever the specific qualities that attracts people of all faiths to him may be—tolerance, strength, love—thousands gathered at a hockey stadium in Vancouver B.B. on an overcast day shot through with sunbreaks to hear him speak. Outside, the cherry trees were in full bloom as Buddhist monks with shaved heads and saffron robes, skate punks, gaggles of school girls, businessmen, long-bearded rabbis, dreadlocked hippies, priests wearing stiff white collars, Asian émigrés of distant countries, bright-eyed students and suburban families gathered at the Pacific Coliseum by way of car, foot, bus, bike and skateboard."
