SUMMER'S SOUL SMACK


Here we are, at the center of this hot summer. What marks your summer so far? For me, its Joni Mitchell's Blue or LCD Soundsystem's Home, Matisse and his vivid colors that smack of the soul - no, they smack THE soul, peach cobbler with friends (the sure way to the heart of anyone) - and when real life gets sweaty and feels unbearable, cool off and get your light turned on with the hilarious, and unforgettable new film 'The Kids Are All Right'

This is a call of arms to live and love and sleep together

We could flood the streets with love or light or heat whatever

Lock the parents out, cut a rug, twist and shout

Wave your hands

Make it rain

For stars will rise again


The youth is starting to change

Are you starting to change?

Are you?

Together

- from MGMT's The Youth - a riff on all things Allen Ginsberg
