What is the path of Christ? or the Spanish empire, or the U.S. J: I'm not referring to the need for change. There is a need for change. It is opposite to the path of Christ in that the path of Christ is the path of no power. There is a need for power, but it is a spiritual power not economic or political power. Here's an example. A woman - the mother of two of his disciples - came to see Jesus. She asked Jesus for a promise th.it when his kingdom came and he became king would he promise to seat her two sons at his right and left. She was asking him to place them in positions of power second only to his. Jesus replied that he couldn't give that, but the one who wants to be in the highest position should serve others. If we all have that spirit there is no need for a Left because that is in itself a change. R: And this is of more value than what a person could gain through the rewards of power and wealth? J: Of course. Because it liberates him or her from his or her ambitions and dreams of power. Because that person becomes rooted in reality. And because that person becomes ready to receive whatever honours come their way, while continuing to be a servant, without believing himself or herself to be a god. And that person can gain the hearts of other people; not to dominate them, but just because of love. Not to manipulate them, but to help them find that path. R: In The Bible it says he who gives up his life shall find it. So I take that to mean that if we give up our our individual ambitiom such as wealth and power- in doing that we discover life? J:Yes. We discover the true life. R: And this is what it means to inherit the Earth? J:Not only to inherit the Earth, but to make Earth into heaven. That is why they they are blessed. That is the meaning of the Beatitudes. R: We spoke earlier about the system. And I think we were in agreement that it seems the purpose of the system is to destroy life. J:Yes.This system including and from empire, or the empire of trans-national corporations. R: I've been thinking of the conditiom of the indigenous people in Guatemala. They suffer the worst comequences of this system. And I was also thinking that in North America, despite our wealth and privilege, there is alsoa kind ofsuffering. What do you think of that? J:In the end, the final consequence of this system is death. This system kills the poor and the rich. It kills everyone. '· It kills them in very different ways. The poor of the Third World die of poverty, of violent repression, and starvation. The middle class are killed by their ambitions. Their life is not life. They live in fear. They are always afraid that what they have will be taken away from them. And for the rich the system kills their soul. It makes them brutal human beings and enslaves them. They live in hell, really. And in the end the rich kill each other. So the system is a death machine. The path ofJ esus is completely different. It is important to not allow ourselves to be enslaved by the system. R: In one of your poems you talk about forgiveness. How can you speak of forgiveness to the people of Guatemala who have suffered umpeakable atrocities? J:They have a need to forgive in order to heal. So not to be terrorized by the ghosts of the past to be at peace. If we compare the one who forgives to the one who is forgiven the one who wins more is the one who forgives. Because he or she heals. To heal means to be liberated from evil. Revenge will not heal. The main need is to heal our wounds. R: In one ofyour poems you speak of the God with the cold, metallic heart. You call this the White God. Why do you call this the White God? J: I am talking about the God of money. This is the White God. They may put up crossesand build churches, but what they really worship is the God of money. This is not the message of Christ. What they worship is the God with the cold, metallic heart - the God of money - the White God OPEN EVERYDAY• 1247 GRANVILLE ST• 682-3019 ~ CFML ~CABLE 'ID4.6 FM mt,, . ....

I wake up and look outside and there are golden heaps of leaves covering the ', CORNERSHOP/HELIUM/SYRUP U.S.A. November 6 Starfish Room By Duncan J. Williams Cornershop's Tjinder Singhmay just be the very first indie-rock/lndy pop superstar in the world. lndie rock being the all-encompassing term for any rock seen as vaguely different (sort of like back in the days when Tom Petty was in the 'new wave' category) and Indy pop referring to pop music created by East Indians. In his grown-out Beade haircut and rock 'n' roll threads, Singh is more Liam Gallagher than Ravi Shankar, but he brings to the Brit-pop party his own unique cultural perspective. Cornershop draws from modern dance music, hip-hop and British pop aswell astraditional East Indian music to come up with a unique sound all their own. Unlike the Eastern borrowings of the '60s-obsessed Kula Shaker, Cornershop uses real Indian instruments like sitars and tablas on stage and features traditional Easternsingingon some songs.The addictively catchy single Brimful of Asha (about a famous Indian movie actress) with its instandy unforgettable catchphrase: "Everyone needs a bosom for a pillow", is a classic pop moment in the tradition of Roadrunnerby The Modern Lovers or SweetJane by the Velvet Underground. Other songs like Butter the Soul and Candymanhaveelements of hip-hop and '60s psychedelia mixed up in their diverse stew. While Cornershop is a better band listened to than watched (Tjinder Singh perhaps was none-too-thrilled to be playing the rather intimate confines of the Starfish Room), their laid back presentation rather suited their trippy, marijuanahazed music. It's hard to be cool and dance the hippie, but many tried and were rewarded with a benevolent smile from the mosdy sober-faced Singh. Helium opened the show, and if Tjinder Singh seemed a bit depressed, lead singer and guitarist Mary Timony looked like she'd rather be anywhere else but on the Starfish stage. Mostly staring off into space, Timony led her four-piece band (including an excellent, if comatose, female keyboardist) through the sombre material from The Dirt of Luck and the newest CD, The Magic City. Musically, Helium playswithin Matador label-mates, Pavement and Sonic Youth's musical spectrum, but has a distinctive sound all their own. While Mary Timony definitely owes as much of her sing-speak vocal style to the Youth's Kim Gordon or Lou R.eed,she also has the capacity to soar higher and sweetly above the stratosphere on songs like Silver Angel. But where she really makes her mark is in her experimental and primal guitar playing. Endingtheir set with a pulsating drone-like number, Timony wrested both sweet and chilling sounds from her instrument while the rest of the band rode the wave. This is what people should mean when they say alternative rock. First opening band Syrup U.S.A. were mighty impressive if somewhat generically Alternative looking. Strong catchy songs and great stage presence from this female-fronted group made for a triple-header this night. They will likely be heard from again. •;,.:--~ ·",.;·•,. • a-~~-~ - . ., . . ' ROBERT DAYTON dayton@terminalcity.com Here is a recent memory that I have chosen to recover for the all of youse to read. Perhaps one of my fave shows of recent late would have to be the one that occurred on the weekend of Nov. I -2 during the day time. It was Customer Appreciation Day at The Salad Market (E. I st Ave. near Commercial). Was this really done to make customers feel appreciated/ I am not certain for. I felt so, tho. Everything was in plain viewfor those GERALDINE FIBBERS/MISS MURGATROID Starfish Room November 9 . By Robert Dayton Opener Miss Murgatroid was hard to notice at first: it was just her .on stageplaying accordion through various effects boxes, et al. Her sound was one of slow, spooky show music that could work well as pure atmosphere getting into one's neck hairs. Other times it could be cloyingly mundane especiallywhen she sang in her monotone voice. I always treated The Geraldine Fibbers as a band I could very easily hate. In turn, I love them. It is much more difficult for me to love their new material asthey havetaken the beautiful swoopy country melodies out making it much more dissonant and difficult to get to. More modern rock. The first half of their set was mostly new stuff. The band didn't seem very into it, as well. Oh, fuck, I was tired, too! Prognosis: not good especiallyafter a show of their's that blew me away last year. Did I say the band wasn't as into it1 Well, exception of one: long time experimental guitar pro Nels Cline seems to be the type who would always be into it. He was all over that thing without making out to be guitar god. Last year he was just tour guitarist, this year he is a fully integrated member and it shows. outside nearby to see. This all happened right in front of the store. To the left was a large bear. Not a real bear. It was a person in a bear costume. I don't know who wore such a mascot outfit but they sure acted giddy. The expression on the bear's face was giddy, too. It was a baby blue bear. No, wait it was brown. Or was it baby blue1 Brown1 Baby blue1 Nope, it was brown. That's right, cuz it was a light golden brown like cinnamon. I lifted off the bear head. There was nothing in there so, I put it back on and pretended that nothing happened. And that bear was dancing and waving. That bear was dancing to a prerecorded tape of Traditional Mexican music. Singing over top of this tape of Traditional Mexican music was a man dressed in Traditional Mexican regalia; you know like, um, with that kind of hat they call a sombrero and that red tie thingy and that black suit watchamacallit (Rule # 12: Writers always should have research as a strong backup tool.. Your Public Library has a wealth of information on Traditional Mexican regalia). This man was slightly rotund with a thick black moustache. He was singing into two microphones and was clearly audible from over SOfeet away, To the man's right Just cuz you is experimental doesn't mean you can't play. He can play any style and make it interesting and while exercising control, go freeform. Ah, and I liked the new violinist more than the old one. The lights were too bright for the band so they were turned down. Lead singer Carla seemed persnickety about that. You couldn't even see the drummer, much to his preference. When they pulled out an old George Jones chestnut that's when it became it a good show. Quite funny that, cuz it was such a pure country gem coming after several songs of their less country new stuff. Of course, they then started playing a lot of old material. They shoulda mixed it up more. No matter and no "Dragon Lady" - somebody requested it but they hadn't played it in over a year. Shame, it's a great one. They still played a lot of great ones from set midpoint on. When they gots to YouDo RightI wondered, "What Southern rock song are they covering/" I paused for a second then exclaimed, "It's a song by those early '70s experimental Kraut-rockers Can!" They ended that off with a slow sweeping instrumental that was absolutely beautiful! With grace and dignity we were given an encore. Then another. All of the band left excepting for just Carla and Nels. The duo played that bedriggled durge "Outside of Town and they did a real longhand version playing off of each other in waltz charms like the flowers on a gingham dress that have gotten so faded that they resemble skulls. Good show. was a table set up with scrawnier men selling hot dogs and pop for a dollar. To the man's left was another table that sold nachos for a dollar, aswell. I chose the nachos.Was the singing man a promotional tie-in for the nachos1I don't know. I didn't venture to ask and they didn't seem too talkative. Inside The Salad Market was a contest one could enter if they bought groceries. There was a variety of prizes to be won. I did not win. A giddy bear is a decent mascot but one that street and the grass. It wasn't even a windy night. Golden snow drifts to the ground. It's a bright day with patches of blue, but mostly grey clouds that look like they have lightbulbs inside, they are so bright. Last year some leaves on the outer branches of two huge maple trees outside my window had blazing tips of reds and oranges. Some whole leaves were orange like ripe oranges still on the tree, some were apple red, most were apple green (strange how the craving for apples begins now, an orange seems a repelling fruit when months ago it was the apple that repelled) or dark green. Some are yellow. Then, days ago, most were yellow with brownish streaks. Now they are off the tree and the sidewalks all look like mysterious enchanting paths that go to magic places while really they just go to the drugstore and the supermarket and the bus stop. I sit and smoke and think about this season. I think about rotting and death because these things are on my mind, and because the seasons are changing and the change courses through me like the sap that courses through the trunk of the tree but will soon freeze. This is the best time to think about death. This is the only season you can bare thinking about death without feeling devastated. We all look at trees snowing golden and there is a balancethere. For brief seconds it is possible to feel balanced about death. I can hear kids singing outside. Then I can see them. Two girls singand walk and hold hands.They reach the curb where there's a man holding a baby. They sing and hold hands and continue walking out on the street. The man yells and yanks one·of the girl's hands even if it is a crosswalk and she jerks back towards the curb never letting go of the other girl's hand. The man sayssome more words and both girls are back on the curb, hands still holding. They wait for the man's hand to remove itself from the girl's shoulder before they re-enter the street. Immediately, they start singing again and their clasped hands swing back and forth. In some ways I wish I could follow those girls through their lives. I wish I were psychic but then I don't becausewhat if something terrible happened/ I decide I'd rather not know. Is there destiny1 Are we born knowing1 Do we feel our betrayal of that knowledge because chances are we would betray what we know1 I think we like to con ourselves away from whatever truths we know. On Remembrance Day I will try to remember the things I'm pretending to forget. I won't even look in the classifiedsthat day. I won't read a thing. I'm still looking for a job. I went on an interview today. I went to two last week. A guy wanted me to sign a contract with him before he'd tell me what his company was all about. The contract told me I couldn't work with any other companies like his. I said I couldn't sign until I knew what his company was like. He wanted me to write stuff for his company but I re-crossed my legsand said I write about lots of stuff. I can't sign this. He wouldn't tell _meand he wouldn't let me take the contract with me. Anothe·r interview was at an art gallery. She asked me if I like to vacuum and clean. I kinda like vacuuming if I don't have to do it and if the carpet is plush. I don't like cleaning. Most people don't. Would she expect a person to be enthusistid I said, "I don't mind." The week before that I had an interview as a receptionist for an escort agency. I was thinking novel and lots of other things. I wondered why working asa receptionist for a mining company repelled me like the orange does when servicing the prostitution 'trade' doesn't. I didn't get that job either so I didn't have to question it for long. She was younger than me and had a fax machine and a computer. She had a key chain with car keys and a cell phone and long, golden hair that kept coming out on her rings when she combed her hand through her hair. She shook the strands out and they fell to the black carpet. She never called me back. Another was a talent agent hiring a talent agent. I had pictured jugglers and body contortionist in mind but children's faces lined her wall. She threw a pen across the desk and told me to sell it to her. Shegot right into the role playing. Psychotically so: can I get all colours or just blue1 What is your payment plan1 Give me a deal! I fantasized about telling her where to stick the pen but instead I'll tell you that if you are reduced to selling cereal for a living - I mean acting, don't go to Com- mercial Connections/International Artist Mgmt/Moo-view Kidz, 50-850 W.
