Noise from the Front
For the week of December 27, 2006–January 2, 2007
"Men, Women & Children..." Sister Jack was puzzled and distressed. Perhaps her ears had played her false. Perhaps what he had really said was, "At Night We Like to Fight," or "I Buy the Drugs," or even "Long, Long, Long." Perhaps. But then her ears never did play her false. "Men, Women & Children." The impression was distinct and ineffaceable. "Men, Women..." she was forced to the conclusion, reluctantly, that the Electric Six had indeed pronounced those improbable words. He had deliberately repelled her attempts to open a Heart Like A River. That was horrible. A man who would not talk seriously to Ida just because she was a woman. Oh, impossible! The Black Lips or nothing. Perhaps Hopewell would be more satisfactory. True, James Brown's "Try Me" was a little disquieting; but at least he was a serious worker, and it was with his Spoon that she would associate herself. And Jenny Scheinman? After all, what was 2006? A dilettante, an "Albert," a merry-go-round...
