alpha-beatical order

today john lennon would have been 70. hence the radio station's "alpha-beatical order" marathon of beatles songs. this morning i woke up to my alarm playing somewhere in the "c's" for holiday tunes. go, ringo!

in the retro spirit of the weekend, i'm also planning to attend portland's "wordstock" festival.

incidentally a friend wanted to know if she could set some of my poetry to music. (with all due respect that was very flattering seeing as neither one of us is a dead white guy.)

happy birthday, john. and let's hear it for "live poet's society"!
