Electionyearing Minus Prednisone
Chief Kale warns of Copyright Issues
American Lit, my full-time gig, is mired in 1984, when the Octopi’s B actor extraordinaire was still not dead by Hinckley, unfortunately. Poppi would have to win one for the Gipper by his Skull and Bones lonesome.
As the powder was being airlifted into LA’s outskirts, Iran Contra was in full swing. I am not going to pretend to have memorized the timeline. And now, here I am again, getting sucked back in, only off the roids this time, for certain.
Don’t get me wrong. I read Russell Means version of the thing. I can hardly make sense of New Jersey history.
The problem is Chief Kale, the anchor of this mission, wondered if we even could use Godzilla in the title, for copyright reasons. We met on Saturday in Princeton, where I did a brief presentation, and then I was off to Barnegat for a two pm matinee produced by a local theatre company. Eventually we are going to at least pretend to make a movie, where some creature will destroy Atlantic City, more than legalized gambling has, I mean. I must admit that the casino implosion inspired me.
We have Act one Scene one, imagined on prednisone during the covid lock down of 2000. Iran was in the picture then too, go figure. Now Iran is making drones for the Russians, and I have yet to make a single batch of noodles on my own.
Well, there you are, and here you are welcome. All positions remain open, except for the anchor…Kale has nailed that on. Tuck in here to survive electionyearing. All input is welcome. We are not just making a “making of” version of a story yet to be written here, we are history in the making.
