********** THE SPARKY CHRONICLES **********
...*** Scene Number Twelve *** .....
Maxy: "…I don't know dear Lord --- I just do not know -- Bushie43's sad Presidency is
collapsing all around him , my beloved Republican Party is in Shatters , SHATTERS --
Congressional Republicans have now confronted the President one - on - one
( like Barry GoldWater's frightful August 1974 meeting with President Nixon in which
the Senior Senator from Arizona aoounced that the ' Game is OVER !!!! ' ) ---
What to Do ?! ….. What to DO ?!?! ***** Maxy curls up in the fetal position
and begins to sob uncontrollably ………… Shiver *************
Please God, I could sure use your help! Right Sparky?!"
Sparky: ***** Sparky stares at the MaxLugar blankly and uncomprehendingly
...like cows in a passing train… Sparky will not dumb down for any mass audience
and CERTAINLY not for the Lugar . Sparky gets up from the bed ,
lifts up his right leg and pees on Maxy . He then walks over and
craps right in the middle of the room -- looks back at the MaxLugar
forlornly , shakes his head in sorrow and pitiful disbelief , and walks out of the house ---
never to be seen again …………….. ( fade to Black ) ……… WHOOF !!!!! " **********

" .....In the past 18 months, since I began recording Endless Wire, until today, I feel I have had very little time to myself. The free time between tour legs has been taken up with all kinds of wonderful affairs - meeting old friends, doing press, chasing financial stuff etc. What I haven't had much time to do is find an emotional connection with myself. I'd forgotten how being on the road ends up being all about the show - the show - the show. It is a gift, for which artists are always grateful, to have a big crowd waiting for their performance, but it generates a pressure we keep in mind every minute of every day - even when we are supposed to be resting.
For that reason I read to distract myself from the distraction of myself. In 18 months I have probably read about 150 books. Many of them were crime novels. Ian Rankin's latest begins with a funeral at which Love Reign O'er Me is played instead of hymns. Ian Rankin - The Naming of the Dead. It took me quite a while to get started on it, but it's a good read as always, set around the time of the G8 summit in Edinburgh, and the Festival at T-In-the-Park gets a mention. I just gave a copy to Roger. He is name-checked a few times.
The book I've just put down is not new. It was first published in 2001. I picked it up in my local bookshop in Richmond (once my own bookshop called Magic Bus now run by some friends of mine) and saw a jacket plug by Michael Chabon (author of Kavalier and Clay), and thought it might be a good read. It is Carter Beats the Devil by Glen David Gold. It is, incredibly, his first novel. Gold writes like an old-timer, but with the energy of a pup. The fictional elaboration of the story of a real-life magician from the '20s called Charles Carter, it is a long book in two or three parts, each part a novel in itself. I was quite depressed when I got to the last page. My world had been enriched and ennobled as I read, and suddenly I was dumped back into the honking horns and heat of Madrid where the Who just played a concert. Madrid is magnificent, but not as glorious as the world Gold had helped me occupy in my imagination.
I think Gold compares to Chabon, Pynchon and Auster in his ability to create fabulous fantasy worlds that are dripping in the absurd wonder of human vulnerability, brilliance and idiocy. He also writes of love and fraternity in a way that is distinctly Californian; occasionally he writes a sentence that is poetically touching.
For an hour, Carter sat amid friends and family. With the music playing, and the wine to drink, and a woman with whom he occasionally held hands under the table, this was his last time tonight to relax. It was well known among magicians that a man awaking to love was vulnerable to deadly mistakes.
In this wonderful book there are pirates, an U.S President assassinated via the theatre stage, the real inventor of television (young farmer Philo Farnsworth), a blind and beautiful heroine of early radical feminism, elephants, lions, dogs and secret service men. There are lots of magic tricks, brilliantly described in real-time; it's like having a seat at the show. There is even a sexy and excitable librarian. It is only my notion, but possibly a safe one, to assume that the wonderfully empathetic treatment of his mistreated female principal characters could be rooted in the fact he is married to the real-life heroine, 'survivor' and author Alice Sebold.
How I missed this book when it was first published I can't explain. The treat is that on July 10th this year he will publish a new book Sunnyside that I will hasten to read. "

Inchoate Longings ..............
You all remember Inchoate Longings .......those incipient yearnings of yore when an individual could write with the purest of magic and fire the reader with crisp , compact musings whilst offering definitive evidence that burning out and rusting are by no means the only alternatives left to superannuated Stones' Message Board Posters .
Well , www.Maxlugar.com is as far away from what message board posting must surely be as it is possible to get . Indeed , over at www.MaxLugar.com , I could sense shadows and taunting remnants of times when Max was striking , angry and exploring . But this new showcase of Maxy's is a deeply depressing and an unashamed rite of irrelevant , empty nostalgia and its unsatisfying , predictable triumph relying on past feats , the regressive belief of his flock and , most pathetically , props , gimmicks and his standard poses .
If readers were once inspired by what those old posts of Maxy's once meant , it really does NOT mean anything now . The new website of the MaxLugar's is unnecessary nostalgia : Unforgivably clinging to the past ; a damning diversion of spirit -- anything but fine posting -- such a static , stagnant waste of energy leaves one frustrated close to tears , and when the darkness falls and the effects hit home , cynical close to hateful . Pity is probably the only true reaction to www.MaxLugar.com . Maxy does not need to flop back -- He's already done EVERYTHING that he needs to -- indeed , the challenges went a long time ago .... all that's left are revival posts .
The www.MaxLugar.com is an appalling exhibition of complacency . So Sad . So Unnecessary .

TAN SON NHUT AIRBASE
1500 hours
" One of the last departing Sea Stallions, Swift 22, hovers over the landing zone at the DAO compound. Most of the Americans and Vietnamese have gone. Colonel Gray turns to me and yells, "Let's get out of here." The Marines who dug in around the compound grab their weapons, and we dash to the ramp of the helicopter. Scott Butterfield of The New York Times, and Mal Browne help a Vietnamese woman and a child onto the helo, as it begins a rapid climb away from the airbase. We are very conscious that once the evacuation started, incoming North Vietnamese fire virtually ceased. Unfortunately, I also vividly recall the C-119 I saw shot down this morning. What is happening with those SAM batteries?
The noise in the helicopter is incredible. These are combat birds, with little acoustic padding. The whine of the engines, running at full pitch, assaults my eardrums. I look across at an American holding a child. The child is crying, but I can't hear a thing. I look out the window and see a Navy F-4 flying escort, skimming over the outskirts of Saigon. Our helo pulls into a sharp 90-degree turn, and heads across the city toward the coast. I look down, and watch as the city that has been so much a part of my life slips over the horizon. The bends of the Mekong lie before me. I realize that I?m feeling as though a vital part of my life is coming to a close. Having first experienced this place in my early 30s, it had become the thing that meant the most to me. I could leave it for months or years, but each time I came back, it was a grounding experience. How can it be that in a place of war, I found the happiest times I had ever known? How could I possibly explain to someone whom didn?t experience it, how much more alive you felt just returning to Saigon at the end of a day - living and enduring in a place you weren?t even sure you would survive? Now I was losing it...and I knew a part of my life was coming to an end. "

over in Iraq is spiraling out of control -- If we put in more troops we get more killin' ….if we take out troops
we get more killin' … anything we do from here - on - out results in more killin' ………..."

Maxy : " Is the Joey right ?! … Why do I continue , CONTINUE to live in a State - of - Denial ?! "
Sparky : *** Growls at the Lugar and becomes a tad ferocious ***
Maxy : " …. I mean , perhaps I SHOULD move my family away from New York City
and rid our lives of the constant threat of terrorism -- Joey DID
major in Psychology so I guess he knows what he is talking about when he brays
about my lacking a ' virtue of clarity ' ……I do not know !!!! ...……… I do not know what to do !!! "
Sparky : **** Sparky can not take it anymore --- he lunges at the MaxLugar and
goes straight for the Jugular ---- the screams are incredible . Interestingly , nobody
else in the household seems to notice or even give a 'rats ass ' . Hours pass……
……and then …complete silence . ****
***** Cut to Scene *****
**** Sparky walks out of the house and into the backyard --- thrity pounds
heavier and belly bulging --like a young woman in her eighth month of pregnancy.
Sparky sprawls his massive body on a LawnChair and burps whilst neighbors string
A " Mission Accomplished " banner across the Lugar backyard ……fade to black ... " WHOOF !!!!! " ****

I continue to suffer from flank pain, chronic IBS, benign fasciculation, and other stress related conditions. This includes rectal irritation, burning sensations upon urination, swollen glands, loose skin, and a very painful bile duct. Lately, this stress has caused scalp twitching, which I fear is a symptom of a major, terminal ailment.
