seeking love, wild abandon, living life to the fullest...

We did a show last night. Before our set we did a reading from Roberto Bolano's "Amulet," (1999).

From our introduction: “Roberto Bolano often wrote about human beings living under a heavy boot. Sort of an echo, a foreshadowing of our new American Dystopia. He emerged as a writer at a time when people no longer believed in utopias, when paradise had become a sort of living hell. People disappeared off the streets, mothers and fathers taken away in the dark of night, children left to fend themselves. Of course, as an antidote and response to the cruelty and horror of the authoritarians, there are always the artists, the poets, the storytellers, the musicians, all of us seeking love, wild abandon, living life to the fullest. Truth-seekers. Truth tellers. Always searching, & remembering.”
