GRIEVANCES conjured up ...Never too much good stuff!<br />GRIEVANCES conjured up those<br />halcyon college days, those<br />tiny cluttered apartments,<br />the greasy fast food, the moldy<br />pizza boxes, and those mandatory<br />piles of books; some of which<br />we kept for 40 years until now<br />the three volumes of THE HISTORY<br />OF CIVILIZATION seem archaic, <br />almost silly. The lady of the<br />piece for some reason comes<br />off for me petite, Indian,<br />gorgeous, cooking many kinds<br />of exotic dishes loaded with<br />curry and odd smelling spices,<br />with parents from Bombay, whose<br />father wears a turbin and works<br />for the public library, and she<br />has a stray cat that hisses<br />at you when you go over to her<br />place, and her roommate is a<br />heavy black girl with braces<br />who wears red sashes in her<br />dredlocks.<br /><br />MIKE'S ROOM really puts us <br />there. I had a converted room<br />in a garage while in high school<br />and I was the oldest of three<br />kids. It was the early 60's<br />so real rock and roll had not<br />descended upon the planet yet,<br />so there were no posters; comic<br />books and baseball cards, yes.<br />You always make the writing<br />to personable, it is tremendously<br />hard to separate the writer<br />from the person. If you do not<br />have an older brother named<br />Mike, you should've had.Glenn Buttkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680725814199700692noreply@blogger.com
