Paul McCartney and Billy Joel at Shea's close
The other night Billy Joel played a concert at the soon to be demolished Shea Stadium, in New York. Three hours into the concert Joel announced the presence of guest artist Paul McCartney who played with the Beatles at Shea in the 6o’s. He'd flown in from London to be there with Joel. The packed to over-flowing crowd exploded. When McCartney strode onto the stage to join up with Joel, by reports it was orgasmic.
These artists are legitimizers of humankinds’ presence on this planet. That is our observation as we've witnessed and paid attention to their prolific birthing phenomena, their songs and lyrics washing over the world and cleansing it, pointing to righted trajectories, to smallest and greatest loves exulted.
It was said that no right-wing conservative ever wrote a good folk song. What keeps us in the ranks of these creators if only to listen over and over…….and over, and hanker for lost connections with truth, and searching endlessly for Joel and McCartney (et al) “wire endings” to twist together, is the sure knowledge that the Light is out there. They help to assure it.
