Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Please trip them gently / They don’t like to fall (Oh by jingo) / There’s no room for anger / We’re all very small (Oh by jingo)
We’re painting our faces and dressing in thoughts from the skies, from paradise / But they think that we’re holding a secretive ball / Won’t someone invite them / They’re just taller children / That’s all, after all
Man is an obstacle / Sad as the clown (Oh by jingo) / So hold on to nothing / And he won’t let you down (Oh by jingo)
Per my Friday tradition, I start my lil “Idelic” column with a song lyric. In many ways it’s been a great way to take up space. If you know me, it’s not that I have little to say, but writing has always been a chore. AI is all the talk, and who knows, maybe next, a Google Gemini will address the weather in Laurel Canyon.
On second thought, do we really think a computer program can write a lyric as cool as a young David Bowie? “Oh by jingo!” Yeah, god fucking help us.
The LA Dodgers got some help, mom turned 90 last weekend, and this week’s playlist is still sounding as cool as the last. “Oh by jingo, oh!”
Old rockers on bicycles—see ya CicLAvia Sunday.
