"CRAZY"
3-5-06 "Crazy" by Patsy Cline
Last night I heard Patsy Cline sing "Crazy" at Starbucks in Calle Real in Goleta, CA & I'm telling you that song went through me like the hand of The Goddess. Patsy Cline died at age 29 in a plane crash but she did sing "Crazy" first. And she left that song behind for us. Plus a few other irresistible love songs. And a few losers. But "Crazy" is a great song. It sticks in the craw. And it won't let you go. It busts the chain of logic that has us all hemmed in most of the time. THAT is what a great song or poem or story or movie can do: it smashes the frozen sea within us. And for one hour I am a New Man. I am a Transfigured Being. Amen, Patsy. Amen.
