As previously mentioned this series of images won’t always be chronological. So here back on the August 14th is Jeb we sat and talked for a couple hours. A man with many experiences we shared thoughts on culture, politics and art, the state of humanity. Over the din of laughter and beer from behind us and the accusing soccer mom. He demonstrated a quality of conversation somewhat rare these days he listened with his eyes wide open. enjoy pjc

Faces of America from either side of the tracks.

Almost to Minneapolis late at night

Arriving for College


As I travel the rails this time my focus is the face of America, or the many faces of America is perhaps more appropriate. My Eyes are their eyes as we share time, stories some in conversation some with just eyes speaking volumes. “All the Usual Subjects”
reappear eight years after my first book. All the usual themes and then some, perception is reality. As I read this morning news not on one of the provdaish mainstream networks is the Story of Amy Goodman of Democracy Now and two of her co-workers along with an AP Photographer were arrested outside the Grand Old Party coronation of the new front man for The New Empire. Forty years ago a true democrat and voice for the people stood and defended the right to protest and the freedom of the press as Mayor Daly’s Gestapos clubbed and beat everyone in sight. Meanwhile back in St. Paul Connecticut’s poor excuse for a Senator sang along to the beat of a nightstick, bomb, bomb,bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. Hey Joe look up the footage of Abe Ribicoff in 1968 and see what being a true Democrat supporting a free press and freedom was back when there was a difference between the two parties. “Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose”
[Kris Kristofferson] Re-elect Abe. Joe’s only in it for the money! enjoy pjc
