Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter

Kaufman Stadium and Verizon Wireless

Hey... You remember
Sandstone? That big outdoor
place under the stars where all
the big names used to come by
and play.

Remember how we
always said it was the perfect
title for such a venue, how it
sounded like some blend, a native
whisp of herb and smoke, like
sandalwood that made it legendary
far, far into the future in the way
of Callanish.

Wow... and remember how one
or several rich sponsorships
somehow made off with it one day?
Yeah, when their pencil dashing,
bid acommodating, corporate
changing, suit wearing apostles
waved their briefcases over
each seat and merch table
like contract-filled magic wands,
and thus ransomed the legend Sandstone.

Awesome. So you do remember.

When I returned, I always did
miss that place.
