Tangerine Skys

Body

Airstrikes over Libya, Andy Warhol's 15 minutes of fame statement should be corrected to reflect new time measurements of fame. A nanosecond celebrity standard, some come and go pretty quickly. And that's the only way it can be in a world such as ours, a world always in a hurry calling to say they are coming they are on the way. Nanoseconds are tiny millionths of a second divided ever so carefully, as light as sound as the beating heart of the atom a measurement sublime. My oldest son Peter aka PgX and/or Lil'Pete star of The Peter and Frank Radio Show something I think he has mixed emotions about but he knows his way around a microphone. Some short episodes may soon appear in France(as cd included in book MEN BEG or not the diy print world is very mysterious). And of course it's in English (for a French Book on Stu Mead and I) I've dragged Peter into some issues of ,Artpolicecomics where he actually shined. But the radio show was a true nightmare like a film made in countless shoots. Then later the little brothers Max and Sam start to appear on the Peter &  Frank Show, screaming crying asking for the Ninja Turtle themesong, a constant rewinding of tapes. Anyway as usual I digress, I am by nature a digressive person. Everything folds into time somehow time is the great wastebasket where all our activity finally comes to rest. Peter is 42 years old born in Oakland California in 1969, March 16 between the Ides of March and Saint Patrick's  Drunken Day. So Peter came into the world , tiny as I remember. Cried alot, he might have found the world rather harsh. The radio show was what we did after eating tacos, it was a way to relax and tease each other recapture the split family days, once a family splits up it's you never have the same time together. The time you have need be fun and comfortable. But Peter has always been very sensitive and we did have fun.

The reference to Tangerine Skys is to a color , an orange hue very popular in the Hippy Days and in a Beatles Song  Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds  and it was on one of my cd painted discs lost behind another disk on a wall. It's that Dreamsicle orange  color  with a stronger hue in tint. Jim Hayward an abstract painter friend of mine made a case against orange maybe it is too literal almost representation when in a circle. Whatever orange in this slight tint fluorescent is sublimely beautiful in March before the Spring comes and cures us of our rain.

PS One of my favorite songs is Tangerine by Led Zepplin
