Sunday 1/17 @4PM The Chrysalis #37: ANGELS
"No one has so far succeeded in singing an epic of peace. What is wrong with peace that its inspiration doesn't endure... and that its story is hardly told?" - Wings of Desire, Which I Have To Confess I Still Have Never Seen But It's About Angels Right
Hey Hartlist,
You knew this one was coming right? After last week's theme?
This week on The Chrysalis, Episode 37: ANGELS. 4PM Sunday over on the FB and posted on insta or YouTube thereafter. Songs of serendipity, synchronicity, benevolence, exalted states of being, and the 'thousand unseen helping hands' Joseph Campbell talks about in that book I also have not yet actually read.
Hey speaking of angels: my friend Perry Serpa's pop-culture-and-climate-awareness website Climate Control Projects is currently featuring my song "Horses" as the 'Hottest On Record' pick of the week. I will also be appearing on their livestream series The SOS Sessions; more on this very soon. Yes education-via-art. Yes saving the planet. There's a lot going on over there, check it out.
Hey, speaking of saving planets... you ever see the movie "Barbarella"? It's 1968, Jane Fonda wears leotards and works as an intergalactic Sex Ambassador, and the villain's name is Duran Duran (and yes that's where it's from)? When I was in college the movie theatre down the street did a midnight showing of this insanity which OF COURSE we all went to and for various reasons I remember very little of it except A) Duran Duran tries to kill Barbarella by putting her in a giant piano and playing her * and B) Barbarella is accompanied everywhere by a blind angel named Pygar. Pygar is, of course, hot/blond/ripped and sporting enormous white wings (natch) while clad only in what I'm pretty sure is a diaper?
No?
Anyway, I mention this (mostly) so that you have a good idea of what I'm *not* talking about when I use the word "angels".
In all seriousness, I've been reminding myself a lot this week (/month/year) that the more often I look for and expect the message, the assistance, the guidance, the intergalactic ambassador... the more often I find it. Calling all angels, see you Sunday at 4PM.
"Love." **
Rebecca
* it doesn't work, whereupon he utters the immortal line "But you should have died of pleasure before now!"
** This is Barbarella's standard greeting.
