Rapture-Torment, A New Orleans Snippet

And how in the hell do we as a city, as a collective, as a hodgepodgery of unique and mystical and striving and mythical entities, cope with a geographic location as corporeal and presence-laden as our lady New Orleans? In a town full of rationalizers, addicts and self-deluded artists overflowing with creative juices yet stagnant in their execution, how does Johnny Twelvepack maintain control over his life-path? How does Jenny Eightball keep her mental and physical hygiene up to par?

And the true sizzler is this: the rapture-torment allure of this palpable beast may be shunted to the bottom of the list of tasks to be accomplished, but the more she is put off, the more viscious her vengeance will be when she slams full-bore into your awareness.

No matter what month, day, or hour the man-made calendars and timepieces proclaim, there is always the most balls-out not-to-be-missed happening pulsating somewhere in the immediate 50 square miles. The experienced and self-realized being may not bat a metaphysical eye at this, but adventurous monkies with only 18 years of living under their belts can be masticated and digested by the greedy lady before they experience the overwhelming and very necessary self-realization they may otherwise have attained without the welcoming arms of our mistress beckoning from every drive-through daiquiri shop and 24-hour bar.

BlairBush - Ballsy Baltimore Band Blog Begins, Buckos!

So this is the new lineup! BlairBush rides again, as the alliterative title of this 1st new blog suggests. We're comprised of yours truly, Nikki Smith on lead, Jay Blass on drums, and Chris Hicks on bass. We're pumped, and with the addition of this blog site which unfetters me from the limits of twitter and Facebook word limits, I am here to declare that I now have an outlet for my wordsmithery and plan to use it well! Keep an eye out for posts as I hope to be here a lot! Now to plug stuff...
