and found it at this site when looking for information about liner notes. it seems this spoken word event has been running for a few years now, i'm not sure how i've missed it. a poetic tribute to a classic album, last year's was thriller, but in the past has included david bowie's hunky dory and madonna's like a virgin. oh sorry, in explanation, each performer is given a song to interpret from the album. anyway, sean whelan is the co-creator of of the series and i came across this poem when googling for answers.
*****
everything we ever changed our minds about
you told me
you loved it when the trees changed their minds
and covered the ground
with a million veined post-it notes
carefully detailing every reason why
you called it
the transparent government of nature
I called it
one more reason to love you
the trees had no strong opinion
either way
- sean whelan -
