"Gin Lane" by William Hogarth

I was looking around the waiting room at the methadone clinic the other day, and I thought it reminded me of something...

William Hogarth, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

This poem by reverend James Townley accompanied the original print

Gin, cursed Fiend, with Fury fraught,
Makes human Race a Prey.
It enters by a deadly Draught
And steals our Life away.

Virtue and Truth, driv'n to Despair
Its Rage compells to fly,
But cherishes with hellish Care
Theft, Murder, Perjury.

Damned Cup! that on the Vitals preys
That liquid Fire contains,
Which Madness to the heart conveys,
And rolls it thro' the Veins.

Sorry Seroquel

Cake Soundcheck at Art & Soul

Cake Soundcheck at Art & Soul
Originally uploaded by dumbeast

Mary went to Pilates this morning, even though the dreaded Oakland Art & Soul festival was going on. She figured out how to circumvent the madness & get to her gym, and off she went.

15 minutes after she left, she called home. "I think Cake is playing right now. You might want to get down here. Listen!" She held her phone up to some low-fi noise.

I couldn't hear what the hell she was talking about, but I was pretty sure that Cake (co-headlining with MC Hammer) wouldn't be playing at 10:45 on Saturday morning. Hah! That's a laugh. I hope it's something really embarrassing. A kid playing the Jonas Brothers on a boombox. Polysonic Spree. An ironic Austrian Cake cover band named Pfannkuchen. Whatevs. I got on my bike and headed down there. This should be good.

It was Cake, doing a sound check, and they were good. A few other early birds and I got a free private miniconcert, just off stage left. Thanks for the heads-up, Babe. Sorry I thought of you as "Old Tin-Ear."
