THE BOB CATS NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 20, 2015. CELEBRATING THE ART AND THE MANY LIVES OF . ESTABLISHED 2006 BY PETER HOLST • 9th year and running. HTTPS://THEBOBCATSNEWSLETTER.WORDPRESS.COM

Welcome to another edition of the Bob Cats Newsletter. It's night time in the big city and the wind blows a piece of wrapping paper down Main Street. The lights are on in The Black Swan, guests sharing dinner in silence. In the piano bar inside The Saint James Hotel Dominic Prizzi, middle aged Juilliard alumni and beach bum, slouches by the baby grand absently plunking Lara’s Theme back and forth. The bartender, red waistcoat, shining ironed white shirt, Egyptian cotton, backslick and a goatee, polishes wine glasses. Outside in a cobblestone alley, the kid and the black dog rifle around in trash cans for something to eat. A street car named Darwin rolls up to the Hotel packed with refuges from the waste land and inside the Mai Thai beauty parlor moonlit faces peering out. NEWS FLASH.

FLASHES FROM THE PAST As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden I'll avenge my father's death then I'll step back The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines The suffering is unending I was passing by yon cool and crystal fountain Every nook and cranny has its tears Someone hit me from behind I'm not playing, I'm not pretending I'm not nursing any superfluous fears They say prayer has the power to help So pray from the mother As I walked out in the mystic garden In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell On a hot summer day, hot summer lawn I'm trying to love my neighbor and do good Excuse me, ma'am I beg your pardon unto others There's no one here, the gardener is gone But oh, mother, things ain't going well Ain't talkin', just walkin' They will crush you with wealth and power Up the road around the bend Every waking moment you could crack Heart burnin', still yearnin' I'll make the most of one last extra hour In the last outback, at the world's end.
