Fee Fi Fo Fum / Americana (Painting On A Car Hood By Keith Greco)

I have cobbled together the similitude of the live performance of Fee Fi Fo Fum for a benefit for 23 Press. 23 Press was an underground L.A. magazine that published vanguard poetry. Unfortunately nothing exists of that publication now.

Fee Fi Fo Fum was:
Donald Johnson / Keys and Vocals
Javier Hernandez-Miyares / Guitar and Vocals
Alberto Hernandez-Miyares / Bass
John Millspaugh / Drums

All songs were written by Donald Johnson and Javier Hernandez-Miyares

Michael Parenti is an American intellectual that you have probably never heard of. If you watched the video, you will know why.

The video was shot at Cats Paw recording studio in NYC, and the tracks were recorded at Spectrum Studios in Mineola. Most of this song was recorded on new years eve in the hours that arced between 1985 and 1986.
The song was written by Lou Reed and this version was arranged and produced by Javier Hernandez-Miyares

This is the High Fidelity version:

Very moving it is to be in an audience, where it is the custom to sing with the master.

Silvio Rodriguez Is the Walt Whitman of the Cuban revolution. His songs are deeply rooted in the humanism which was described by Che Guevara in El Socialismo Y El Hombre En Cuba
Our utopia is still very far away, but its music has always been with us.
It is better to be Brechtian than Manichean.

This is a data dump of Palimpstar, and some of this material will be used in the video, which goes into production next month.

Everybody wants to jump a little higher.
Split your skull, and put your brain into the fire.
Tumble all around like a baby in a dryer.
Your rose is a rosebud; it’s a radio flyer.

Everybody wants to jump a little higher…
Rushing down a water fall
and sprouting out a fountain…
