OUR MAN in COROZAL; dave delacroix: No. 89: "SHEFFIELD."

Across the GIG, Sheffield, across your heart, across the slimey canal, the river DON where U hear splosh, sink, then seem like nothing; that last taste of honey, bubble UP, that renaissance of abstract ART? Or at the GRAVES ART GALLERY, aptly named; Squirrel-squid, encompasses your PRIMITIVE; sez: where WE began? MUM's hands worn to BEATLES music bone? I was PUSHED in thr River D.by a Skin-head/got Typhus for a week? I SEE this punk till the day I die, his ASS is mine! Sheffield promise. I'll kill his kids!?..Brooklyn NYC, no worries. Thought of becoming a Painter?

ACROSS, brutally, slings, bloody Cross-bows, your bloodied INDUSTRIAL heart, awaiting some Skeleton at the factory door? What GRIT romance or vanquished dis-memberment...on 2 legs...can U find JOY at the Sheffield RAG Market, abolished, incorporated...and almost IN SITU, designed, but IS no more? What Sheffield CRETINS, for wealth,  designed it SO? CASTLE MARKET?...Or the outlying Mansions and Manor Houses, demolished by local property predators, sights and scenes, on bicycle I would, in "old England" explore? All seemed polluted or demolished? Archeology in Britain-1960s wasn't valued?....Love to WOKE THAT money trail?

Across the RIVER DON, Student, 1966, clean it UP-Project .The SONS/DAUGHTER thigh-high, pulling out industrial TRASH from the River.  SHEFFIELD. The last English-Industrial "SHITHOLE"; the last "URBAN RE-MODEL". 1960s STUDENTS were ABSOLUTELY COOL.

 Up/commers/wannabe Students would connect out CAMPING-WEEKENDS in the PEAK DISTRICT; they mostly studied PHILOSOPHY and mostly ALL  ended up as Gardeners, Sanitary Workers, "kept-men",  or joining some obscure LUTE band?...They HAD... these Students...the honour of Graffitti-ing the Central Bus Station ARC by X by! No one complained. Upper deck BUS passengers enjoyed the "YA!!!"...Not EASY to have a "YA!" in B/W grimey 1960s England on TOP of the Bus Station? "RAG-65!!!"....For NON-Brits, "Rag-Day", the day University Students collect CHARITY MONEY/Rattle Coin boxes, permitted to have a good time. Mischief, within reason Ok. S-posed.

People LIVED. SHEFFIELD. They had a couple of LYONS TEA SHOPS, JEWISH CAFE, next to the Victorian City Hall... In the CITY HALL? Like Washington D.C., USA, cluttered with MONEY FOLKS, like today, toe-rags. Across the GIG, cheap-ass High rises were built & collapsed, SOCIAL WORKERS invaded to "Fix" whatever good old Hippies were protesting to be done; most of Em got the frick out ASAP . The Hippies/college, buzzed off? The FIRST TV Cable outfit was launched! I played a song or 2 IN a "TV STUDIO!?... SHEFFIELD. The original STEEL TOWN dating back to mention in the "Canterbury Tales.". Me and HUMAN LEAGUE! ...lol.

No worries. Even in MY lifetime; JOE COCKER, Def Leopard, Human League, Metabelious-3, Cabaret Voltaire, Thompson Twins, correct me if I am in err. Every COMMUNITY ejects its "bright sparks"; S-way it is? SHEFFIELD, the INCUBUS: The Pastoral, the INSIDIOUS INDUSTRIAL, the later SOCIAL CANNIBALISM....it lies at a Survivors feet.

WHERE WAS I LAST by HIGHWAY 666, MEANSTREETS, the DEVILS ROAD, that place, LONESOME, meant to BE, where was THE DUDE, yours truly, wallowing in some VACUUM of inert love/POVERTY, hanging out, the GREAT AMERICAN DISSAPOINTMENT -  Photo-ed in Monument Valley mosey-ing in to CORTEZ-Colorado; the 50s DINER with table slot Juke-boxes; buck-a-pop, Everly Bros/song? "Let it be me?": Waitress, old school, pours coffee/re-fills over your head then suggests local motel owned by an EX-Malibu-Cal.-COP, luckily, whose PEOPLE I knew? Old MPD Guy. Retired from Cop shoot-out/his kin owned P.C.H restaurant. Now here! Small World? Anyhow, CORTEZ? It was NAVEJO USA BENEFIT CHECK NIGHT. Dark-thunderhead clouds; Town bars hoppin. Maybe SOME stories, till later, or drag an HOUR worth hanging like family photos, a recipe on a piece of your grandma's Chatellaine, that thing that makes mystery and that IN TIME you too will endorse? Such are Co-incidence/memories when they collide? .......When I was then by CORTEZ just off Highway 666, a devil's highway, in my USA travels, I had memories, like anyone, but IN CORTEZ I let my memories rest.

I QUIT the band when they didn't to know HOW to tune OPEN D, or OPEN G on a 6 string guitar or could spell: "FUCK MAH BRAIN". Education is everything. Back in HENRY VIII's time; Sir Thomas Moore had more MINIMALISM: Truth or Death? I may lose my...creative Head? THIS?

I quit the band when they...ALWAYS....HAD A YOKO. ...EVERY one legged RnR band has a YOKO.; oddly, not even desirable, just REFUSE-able? Every wastrel bass/drum player seems PRONE to a LAMIA? Reptile self-estime? WOG-STUFF!!!. ALIEN-6!

I QUIT the BAND/KICKED-  OUT of the BAND. mostly,  MY SOUL? That GIG still had to explore, the YEARNING that the AUDIENCE, still yearning for, a thing I could not share? Audience: A GHOST-STARE!!!

I quit the baND, i SAID HELLO ON stage. I quit the band. Solo. Forever? My name was David Sylvian.I was in a BAND called  JAPAN.
