Tami Peterson, PhD

Rain trickles down Reminding me of that slick night When the whole city wanted to drown Your lips That one damned kiss All we ever really had Outside of the screen Outside of your voice in my ears, always Holding you Myself® In this eternal grief I wish you knew still carry you Every Damned Day Silence the only way To save us both Buried beneath the work Buried beneath violence, insanity Unearthed when pressure weakens When reminded of my weaker self A painting A piece of art A longing sensation in this weary heart Losing track of the years I sit far away Await your voice anew Weeping over the echo Of conversations we never had Always surprised how the nightingale Can rend my heart in two Make me write bad poetry Pretend I once had a songbird as a lover Hold my defeated head in my hands Dampen the world with my sorrow by Tami Peterson

Finished this tome. I am a huge Beevor fan but there’s too much of a pro-White bias. He’s clear they were also bad, but he misses the reasons why so many people were inspired to the side of the Reds. Still, an excellent military history of the battles - 3.5 stars #histbookchat #reading

Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man (Official Live in London 2008) YouTube video by LeonardCohenVEVO

Forty years later the klezmer-noir of Leonard Cohen’s ‘I’m Your Man’ LP remains the most radically successful reinvention of any of the major songwriters from the 1960’s. A moral and geopolitical hellscape staged as Vegas review. One part Rat Pack, one part Leviticus. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZOT...

Received this new David Bowie book and had a lovely brunch with two formidable, incredible women at the Middle Eastern restaurant Kubeh near Union Sq. Irit and Aleksandra were my colleagues at the NYU Center for the Study of Antisemitism last year. Both are experts in law. #musicsky #nyceats #NYU

Dixie Chicks - Long Way Around (AOL Music Sessions 2006) YouTube video by Video Archive

I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish, smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to
No I, I could never follow

Bob Dylan - Gates of Eden (Official Audio) YouTube video by BobDylanVEVO

“At dawn my lover comes to me
And tells me of her dreams
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
Into the ditch of what each one means
At times I think there are no words
But these to tell what's true
And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden”
