Contributor Notes
Excerpt: Window Fishing: The night we caught Beatlemania (edited by John Lee)
P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt">SPAN lang=EN-US>FONT face=Calibri>We were born in an age of assassins. Our childhood martyred almost all the heroes that we’d had. Forbidden means to desperate ends have stolen every voice we’d loved as best. When petty monsters took up guns and shot the poets of our youth, the papers mourned an old romance. Who knew a time would come to name the sudden dead as ours. I was but a callow baseball-playing lad when Miss Myrtle Downie closed the classroom door to tell us that America had murdered hope. And then we saw the film. We witnessed television horror come on Sunday to a Dallas basement jail. That was the wincing day when I turned twelve. Then Memphis woke us weeping with the news of fatal balconies. We’d grieved, we thought, enough, until we fell like kitchen dishes dropped from shock too great to bear. The brilliant brother broke upon the floor as well. The list is overlong. It will not end. My younger heart surrounds a tragic hour. I talk of fallen names. I nudge at corpses and am saddened by a private grief for public shame. Who killed these men killed innocence. I remember J.F.K. I remember Martin Luther King. I remember Robert F. Kennedy. I remember them all alive when lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed. I remember them well and fond and lost my adolescence blinking in their funeral smoke. That was the time the Beatles sang my life awake. Imagine that, this death of dream, with unanticipated mourning yet to come. ?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt">SPAN lang=EN-US>FONT face=Calibri>Editor - John B.
