If we were floating in a space capsule,
I’d look at you,
And perhaps you’ll smile at me,
Loving my kaleidescope world.
The stars and planets just glide on by,
…… like a white gods eyes,
We smiled a lot,
Loving our kaleidescope world.
It gets a bit cold so we turn on the heater,
Things break but that makes it neater,
We’ll never die,
In our kaleidescope...

So, what's up with Hamtramck, anyway?
People are always asking me about what it’s like in Hamtramck. I wonder why they don’t visit and find out for themselves. It’s not like I dislike talking about the 48212, but you’ve really got to see it to get the big picture. I will post stories about Hamtramck from time to time here.

David Byrne just "gets" Detroit. →
I was lucky enough to have been one of the extras in “This Must Be The Place” which stars Sean Penn. David Byrne is scoring the soundtrack. I was dancing with a fake beer while Mr. Byrne and his band dressed to the nines (in all white) with string section performed the title song.
His journal entry is stellar and everyone should read it RIGHT NOW! I love it when wide-eyed...
