Our Man in Europe, dave delacroix in MEXICO: The Cancun-Diaries, No.41: Brigadoon!
WHY DONT THEY COME BACK to BRIGADOON? Why dont they - U Mudthers! - come back to CONEY ISLAND, or Truveille, Biarritz, MONTE- frickin - CARLO, Blackpool-it-s Golden Mile, Heildersheim, those dumb-ass SWISS hang outs: Zurich, boring BERN, Benidorm-OLE! Stupid places where RETARDS used to swarm; why dont they come back to DUNOON!?
Why don-t they come back to DETROIT? Why don-t they come back to Katy-Texas.? Why don-t they GO BACK to that OLD BAR in your CITY, gentrified/NO SMOKING!!!/ No GIG-not COOL, why don-t they go BACK to Dijon-France or Dunoon!?
Why don-t they COME BACK to BRIGADOON, a legendary place, a SEASON in your PSYCHE, a MYTH, a CULT, a Swiss-blade Incision that CUTS through your CONDITION, your "humdrum" to MISS opportunity in the PALM of your hand, the HAND U forgot to extend, Boulogne Sur Mer?
Why don-t they COME BACK to Brigadoon; A MYTH, a DREAM; the Chinese say -dreams R the forgotten Language of the GODS; a SCENE, a scheme for your pysche, a Clyde river run: Why don-t they come back to Stonehaven, why don-t they come back to Dunoon?
WHY don-t they come back to BRIGADOON where Fairies sing, Pipes, Whistles, Fiddles, Gaelic-Joy but ONLY for that one day-to Night-till dawn; a HEARTBEAT; the phenomenon of flashing wisdom.
c.2021, dave delacroix/Apres Billy Connelly-s "Dunoon Song." Just another TAKE on Billy-s idea.
