notes

It's the 4th of the july and there are gunshots in the streets and sirens

and people yelling in the streets, hardly american or not american at all. 

tomorrow is my birthday and for my birthday I want a time machine to 1984

for a smiths concert or to 1954 for Miles Davis. 

I want to see Tommy Dorsey with Frank Sinatra in the 30's when he was young,

I want see the big bands, white musicians, black musicians, and tito puente.
