Racing in the Trees
Saw Bruce the other evening. It's definitely hard for artist and audience to communicate in stadium setting. Remember BOOMERS, BOOMERANG!'s venue is akin to the little corner general store. When Bruce Springsteen was a teen, his focus was “racing in the streets.” Singing that song he seemed to recognize just how much he and his songs had changed. Just like Bruce was first delivered into this culture as a street musician spouting poetry, BOOMERANG!'s original raison d’etre was simply the creative presentation of ideas. Content took care of itself. I mean history, geography, current events, science – cut and dry, right? It sure seemed like that when I was growing up. But when a writer digs deep into material on John Brown and Corinth, Mississippi, and trade, and Sitting Bull, and the Civil War, the “cut and dry” becomes more like our everyday lives – rich… textured…murky.
