"latituuuude...good
attituuuude! and our gratitude...for your platituuudes...oh
latituuuuuude!"
guy
garvey's words, sumptuously sung to a silently expectant crowd of
thousands...spoken like a carefree soul, drunkenly pondering the mind's
innermost musings...a musical mantra for the magnificent masses...
and the
man himself; a softly spoken saint, sent forth to save so many hurried and
unsmiling souls from one more rushing, racing, raging day without the movement
of music in their minds...
freeing
us all from worry, with the understanding that "one day like this a year
will see us right..."
and he
and him and they moved earth and heaven to make that day the day to see us
right...to sustain our hopeful and artistic souls through the corporate
calendar...
and they
delivered their message with delicious deftness and daring dexterity...leading
and moving with the crowd with consummate ease...offering a king's serving of ambitiously
atmospheric artistry and a worldly feast, thrumming and humming with a wealth
of wonderfully wild words...rich man, poor man, beggar man, suit...one and all under
guy's omniscient opera...
the crowd
were sent soaring and adoring...we stood sighing and shuffling and shifting and
whispering as words winged their windy way from front to back, from saint to
sinner, from heaven to hell...
guy
garvey; a more humble hero there is not...
