Aswon Farenji (JAH Poet)

EMPRESS, LOVE IS A MOMENT AND A LIVITY TIME. IT IS LOOKING AT YOU. ACROSS A ROOM AND FEELING THAT IF I DON’T SPEND THE REST OF I LIVITY WITH YOU, I WLL HAVE MISSED JAH BOAT. EMPRESS LOVE IS WORKING TOGETHER, LAUGHING TOGETHER, GROWING TOGETHER. IT IS RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER AND THE PEOPLE EACH CARES ABOUT, LOVE IS WANTING TO SHOUT FROM THE ROOFTOPS, LOVE IS WANTING TO WIPE AWAY THE TEARS WHEN FAILURE COMES, LOVE IS LIKING THE FEEL OF EACH OTHER. IT IS WANTING TO HAVE CHILDREN TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY ARE THE EXCLAMATION POINT OF LOVE. LOVE IS LAUGHTER IN THE MIDDLE OD A QUARREL. CRY YOUR SELF A RIVER I AM CLOSE BY


WHEN INI WALK THROUGH A DARK VALLEY, NO FEAR SHALL GRIP INI SOUL. WHEN INI CLIMB A STEEP MOUNTAIN, HIS HAND WILL NOT LET GO, RASTA WHEN THERE IS A DEEP NEED IN INI LIVITY….THERE IS GRACE. WHEN THERE IS A GREAT NEED….THERE IS GREAT GRACE. RASTA WHEN THERE IS NEED, UPON NEED, UPON NEED…..THERE IS GRACE, UPON GRACE, UPON GRACE

RASTA EDUCATE YOUR SOUL, ANCHOR YOUR SOUL, ENLARGE YOUR SOUL YOU DECIDE IT’S TIME TO MAKE THE DECISION TO MOVE ON FROM YOUR HANG-UPS. NO MORE EXCUSES, REFUSE TO TRANSFER BLAME OR TO DENY PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY, BUILD YOUR HOPE INTO YOUR LIVITY AND ANCHOR YOUR SOUL, STOP LOOKING FOR EXCUSES FOR WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU ARE. YOUR FUTURE IS IN YOUR OWN HANDS, REMEMBER YOUR DREAM WILL SET THE STAGE FOR YOUR LIVITY

My Convertible and the Violent Femmes

Its almost amazing that wikipedia still notes the biggest band ever to come from Wisconsin as the Violent Femmes, that was 30 years ago.

In October Many years back I drove in my convertible from Appleton Wisconsin to a Milwaukee recording studio with my husband Tim Dorsey. It was so warm that day that I had the top down. I will never forget spendin the whole day hangin on a couch with Violent Femmes and the Talking Heads. I Was sucked into the waitin room by cosmic energy from Talkin heads guitar player who sat next to me practicing for his session. I could hear echoes escaping from studio doors opening. And guess who popped out the door? My eyes followed the Violent Femmes bare feet on wood floors rushin to get dressed in their costumes to perform at an annual Halloween festival. I loved their show of spooky attire. Next I hopped into my convertible with someone from the band Talking Heads to get cigs and drinks. When I got back I checked up on Tim he was recording vocals for Darrell Stuermer from Milwaukee, who was Phil Collins Guitar player from Genisis. When I opened the studio door to join the party they were cooken up a spicy tune.
