Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
In every dream home a heartache / And every step I take / Takes me further from heaven / Is there a heaven? / I’d like to think so / Standards of living / They’re rising daily / But home oh sweet home / It’s only a saying
Now that we’ve said hello to 2017, let say hello to today—full moon Friday. Mercury in retrograde! Greetings from Laurel Canyon—oh, and by the way, this here canyon is closed. Yes, and in addition to the bittersweet farewell to our lovable and funky prez, it poured and rained and poured. Then a house slid into Laurel Canyon. Talk about your morning drive becoming a metaphor for the future…
Our canyon is closed. Were not cut off from the rest of the world or the city, but maybe that might not be such a bad thing.
In the meantime The Idelic Hour carries on. This week’s episode comes in two parts. The first half of the set is my last of several dedications I’ve made to Barack over the years. In truth I have never saluted a US president before this guy.
So, this hour is my small way of publicly saying, “Thank you man.” Now as warm and sentimental as we all want to be about the “Obama departure,” the taste we are left with is one of a modern tragedy. Accordingly I dug up a bleak ending to this week’s show.
This canyon is closed until further notice. Deal with it.
