The Cosmos . . .


oho
[ oh-hoh ]
interjection
(used as an exclamation to express surprise, taunting, exultation, etc.


OHO? Aha! That's a name that rings bells. Baltimore's answer to Pink Floyd, an American underground icon, a band that came out of nowhere playing music the chroniclers swore was years ahead of its time. OHO sneaks around the musical conventions that have mummified so many others, unleashing sliders where you'd expect curve balls, fast balls where you'd expect change-ups. Part of its their sense of humor, part of it their unerring humanity.  Definitely, one of a kind and all in good fun...its got to be.

Not only has the album AHORA finally been released, OHO continues to imagine and create new music, as evidenced by the single Cosmos of the Soul, also now available from most on-line music-sellers.

Always . . .

. . . you

You've always been ahead of me;
One fact that I,
In my infinite wisdom,
Could not always see.
But in the end you always convinced me
Things aren't always
What they appear;
The things I've always looked for.

Once long ago, before we met,
I thought I could 
Singlehandedly make the
Spinning world go away;
Just like some king 
from back in those bygone days.
But I was wrong. 
I don't belong 
Inside this category.

Seemed to be,
At the time to me,
To my advantage.
Missing why,
Not knowing 
When to try 
To start believing
In my very own
Self determination.

Sometimes at night when I'm alone,
The solitude
And the quiet can bring out
All the worst in my head.
But now it seems that isn't so big or bad.
I've learned a thing, 
Or maybe two, 
And just ahead there’s always you.

Diversions . . .

 

Sitting in this happy place
With diversionary options galore.
For some strange reason, I declare
I want to read the news some more.
Xi's in China, he's so wily,
But his goals are plainly clear.
Trump is here, he's just himself,
He's done so many things, I hear.
Elections are right on our doorstep,
Putin's mercilessness reigns. 
Immersion, instead, in music's
What I need to ease this pain.

Mangoes . . .

. . . etc. 

Dancing, I've heard, is good exercise,
And I'm sure that it's true, still I try and I try.
But my feet, I can tell you just don't follow through.
The music, as always, makes the party - like glue.
On occasions, which rare, 
It works fairly well.
My score may be 'FAIR'
Still it's early to tell.
But, assured, may you rest,
Though I may not be graceful,
I think music's the best,
And the better when tasteful.
It's pure joy, I would posit,
Like eating a mango,
Please excuse these bad rhymes
Here's my song called T-Tango.

True . . .

. . . colors, and some serious issues


(from The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021, by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser)
". . . (Lindsay) Graham seemed intoxicated. "He let me into his world," he enthused. The access and constant consultations thrilled him. "I have never been called by a president this much in my life," he said.  His fealty flipped, he now expressed outrage that anyone would have the effrontery to denigrate Trump, even going on CNN to berate the media for labeling the president "some kind of kook not fit to be president" - the same words Graham himself had once used. . . McCain was disgusted and let Graham know it. . . Graham's main contribution to the day of (MaCain's) mourning was to invite Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. McCain's grieving daughter Meghan said)  . . . "Funeral crashers . . . 'I hope this is the most uncomfortable moment of your life.' " . . . "We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness," Meghan said as Graham sat stone-faced in the audience, "the real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served." . . . "The American of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great." . . . "
