At the onset, those of you who may have heard me should probably
Turn to those who may have not and calmly reassure them that this
Is in fact what happens when I sit on a stage. Not much more. This
Is about it. You will notice no sudden or dramatic change in either
My instrumental or vocal attack, as it were. This is nonetheless an
American folk song. Did you recognize it as such? Of course you
Would. You folkies. You don't hear 'em much anymore. Don't hear '
Em on your AM radio, huh? Folk singers hardly ever sing 'em. That's '
Cause they're boring. Folk music is boring. Whack fall the dido
Blow ye winds, hi ho hell, that's boring. But I am a folk singer
This is a folk music organization. You are ostensibly the folk
N'est-ce pas? That means we own this song together, right? We have
Thereby incurred certain social obligations
Which we will faithfully discharge, right? We're
Gonna sing this damn song together, boring or not
I'm still in Nevada City, California, up there in the foothills of
The Sierra. I call 'em the foothills 'cause it's spelled like that
Oh, the old gold mining town, I've talked to some of you about that
2,700 People there. One of the 49ers towns. Then I also told you
About the only social life in town being the, the Books of Harmony
New Age Bookstore, where people go down in the evening and channel
Dolphins and, uh, Martians. It's a new age chronosynclastic
Infundibulum, or epicenter, as it were, Nevada City, California
Well, I was gone for a bit, uh, on one of the trips since I saw you
Last, and I got back, and, uh, my wife had bought the, the bookstore
Um, so I am now ostensibly part, part proprietor of a New Age
Bookstore in Nevada City, California. Hehehehe, can you picture that?
Whee! Whee! Well, and I'm open to all those things. If you live in
California, you've got to be open. If you're not, they pry you open
And I read as much as I can, just got all the new men's literature
In there. Uh, most of my, most of my men friends belong to
Men's Robert Blythe men's drumming circles. They do that here
It's healthy. They, they're out in the, in the, in the wilderness
Caterwauling and flailing away at those things and dragging
Their scrotums through the underbrush. It's healthy, I suppose
Uh, we swing in the trees and we steal sheep. We don't have a
A drumming leader, we have a grooming order. Robert Blythe came by
On one of his workshop trips to teach us how to drum. We ate him

Age Rural Professionals (Nevada City, California)
Out cruising the back roads in their old green carry-
Alls with their car stereos blaring meditation music out
Into the wilderness, it's a, it's a caution. Whole place
Lightning-struck by the peripatetic ruminations of the
Tibetan ruling class in exile. Lot of Buddhists around there

Meanwhile, this very minute, old Jesse McVay, the well digger
Nobody knows how old he is, lived in that county all his life
Is sitting at the bar of the National Hotel this very minute
Looking at the freaks out in the street and muttering under his
Breath, "No matter how new age you get, old age gonna kick your ass."
