Gotta run out and view a play tonight - but I will be back and visiting all of you before I call it a night! Have a great CRAWL and see you when I return.
NOTE: In addition to the Tom Waits performance, I am prepping The Fantasticks too. The music is starting to grow on me. See you all soon!
Ahhh! A much needed moment with the Stream! Hear that Streamers? The accordians are calling again. My inner gypsy is whispering to me of a simplier time. Why? Because I have been working with my sister for the last week to locate her birth family. Yep - that's right we are both adopted from separate families and she has had quite the ride this past week... so I am reaching back into the vault of doggie pictures and pulling out the ol'time family collection. Plus, I am working on a show called "Warm Beer, Cold Women" - a tribute production of Tom Waits music presented at the internationally acclaimed Guthrie Theatre here in Minneapolis... So RAIN DOGS it is! I found this quote to describe what the idea of RAIN DOGS means to Waits...
Lyrics: Rolling Stone magazine called Rain Dogs Waits' "finest portrait of the tragic kingdom of the streets" [9]. The album's title comes from an expression which also suggests this tragic kingdom of the streets; "Rain dogs" are dogs which became lost after the rain washed away the scent of home, thus barring their return. Waits cast further light on the metaphor by stating that the album was about "People who live outdoors. You know how after the rain you see all these dogs that seem lost, wandering around. The rain washes away all their scent, all their direction. So all the people on the album are knit together, by some corporeal way of sharing pain and discomfort."
This song is also foreshadowing next weeks Majordanes Theme - which will be a collection of Stray Dog Photos from around the world. The Rain Dogs of the world all knit together in the same way.
For more on Tom Waits check out this link and enjoy! The video posted below is a promo video for the show at the Guthrie! Good stuff!
And now... on to the dogs!
This is one of my favorite "old" pictures of the Majordanes... And a new favorite of Luna caught in the act of his baby-hoarding-habit!
