Cleophone Show Tonight

Allies of the wicked and wonderful night: a reminder of the Cleophone presence at Acadia tomorrow evening (Tuesday Jan. 16). Nine-ish. Three dollars. http://www.acadiacafe.com/

The desire of your presence is exceeded in intensity only by the following:

• The beauty of Dazed and Confused's bass line, in spite of the ridiculous lyrics---e.g.: if the "soul of a woman is created below" then one could just as easily purport that the soul of a man is right there in tow. However, rather than being an emperical truth, it's more likely Robert Plant was just carelessly rhyming like I just did. And you can see how shameless that is.
• The sense of bewilderment that would occur if all nails were ripped from the floorboards of Love, then surreptitiously mixed into one's birthday cake and served with a look of ambivalence.
• Admission that if you are so bold to Let Love In you should maybe give it a chair to sit on and offer it some freaking tea.
• The youthful redemption of Lennon's "Starting Over"
• The overcoming and beautiful silence of snow
• My desire for you to be well

Dave.
