And the Cliques Keep on Cliquing
6/4/06
Noam Chomsky is on WBUR right now. This reminds me of Pierre Joris's blog entry about his poem about Chomsky. "http://pjoris.blogspot.com/2006/04/chomskyana-linguica.html"
I love Chomsky, but that's usually uncouth for the poetry people, isn't it? It's like in high school when the uberactivist hippie kids thought the drama geeks were too self-absorbed and the drama kids thought the activists were too fantatical about ephemeral issues.
In high school I was in both groups, so that allows me to do what I please. Actually, I do what I please because it's what pleases me. Like I'll go to a Pierre Joris reading at 6, a Howard Zinn documentary (featuring Noam Chomsky!) at 7 and a cocktail party for Pierre Joris at 9. This actually happened in April up in Orono.
What would have been truly uncouth would've been going to a College Republican's meeting after that or something. Then buying an Escalade and driving through a wetland reserve while listening to Bill O'Reilly on the radio.
