milan san siro - an amazing roar from the crowd that never abated - an experience. milan though was a mixture of stultifying heat and commerce. so i didn't do anything. from wondering where i would be most inspired i now wonder how much more lethargic - apart from the two hours on stage - i can become. i've written six lines so far on this tour and i can't find three of them. i presume they were of love, lack of it, death and it's occasional temporary avoidance which we describe as life, the immortality or lack of immortality of the soul, money, honour and politics. and i suppose you can guess from the punctuation i was quoting hemingway and blaming the heat. now in berlin. "in berlin by the wall you were five foot ten inches tall it was very nice candlelight and dubonnet on ice." i listened to berlin by lou reed a lot. at first in the 70's & then the 90's. it sent us out into the night in toronto in search of dubonnet. heady days. now then melancholy, reading conversations with ernest hemingway and watching the new war x |

her poetry and stuff

sweltering budapest - looking for culture but i began to melt into my nudie jeans - so i had to take refuge in an air conditional pizzeria - not exactly what was called for - it feels like the soviets have just left and the tourists arrived five minutes later - i didn't realise this was the danube - then i realised i didn't know where i was - or who i was - or what on earth i was doing. so i took some pictures and came back to the hotel. i saw keith allen whilst dining last night - budapest is a long way from supporting dexys midnight runners on the searching for the young soul rebels tour - but i suppose this is what i should expect - tomorrow we play. it was - as always - a pleasure to see christoph in hamburg and stay in lou reeds favourite hotel there - we are hoping lou writes a hotel guide for the world as he obviously has excellent taste - "this is the place where we used to live I paid for it with love and blood and these are the boxes that she kept on the shelf filled with her poetry and stuff" x |
