  4. I hope this is the right forum for this. Anyway I'm a little burned out on my ipod selection and am looking for a little help from the enotalone comunity to point me in the direction of some new tunes. I'll give you a list of my favorite artists and if you could name a couple newer bands or individual musicians who are on par let me know. Here it is: Beck Bob Dylan Leonard Cohen Peter Gabriel Neil Young Elliot Smith Wilco All right those are the top 7 I could think of. But I also like rap, classical and Jazz., Charlie Parker Miles Davis you know. For rap I used to love Ice-T, Tribe called Quest etc. Any suggestions are appreciated. I mean who do you guys think is a true innovator these days. My vote would be for Beck. Is there anyone out there that is as dynamic and creative as someone like that but maybe in a different genre? Thanks!
  5. The last stanza is just another reference to the movie "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf" in which Elizabeth Taylor plays the daughter of the president of a university and she and her husband, played by Richard Burton, do nothing but drink and degrade one another. They needle one anothers insecurities without remorse or restraint while getting hammered. The point of the poem was just me coming to the conclusion that the "best" and "brightest" in our culture also often don't have a friggin' clue. About love life or anything else.Taylors appearance symbolized (to me) the rock bottom of the upper classes and the intellectual elite. They too have the ability to disconnect themselves from everything and just drink drink drink and are often lost lost lost all the while maintaining an attitude of superiority. Thanks for reading it and asking.
  6. Since I see there are other poets around this site...here's a poem I wrote when I was feelin' a bit cynical about school. The House of Academia Its got a high end paint job that’s for sure lines laser cut colors expertly chosen earth tones for the liberal arts black and white for the sciences behind the colors within the rooms words are prudently picked and spoken to the proper audience in the living room the undergrads speak excited words to everyone in the kitchen the grad students eat chinese take-out and speak serious words to the undergrads that drift in to cook Ramen the PhD candidates lock themselves in private rooms and mumble to themselves In the windowless attic The professors rehearse Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf? Over and over and over again as Elizabeth Taylor moves from room to room observes refuses to say i love you and pours herself another drink
