KNUCKLE

                                       December 15, 2005


        One of my favorite
        plays is "Knuckle".                One of the odd
                                           things about the
            There's a really good          era I grew up
            scene in it where              in is that it
            this slimey punk of            was possible
            a main character               to see some
            starts rummaging               really good
            around in his pockets          productions
            showing off the                of plays on PBS.
            things he's carrying                 
            with him: flask of             "Knuckle" 
            booze, pack of                 "The Lady's        BURNING_LADY 
            cigarettes, bunch of            Not For Burning" 
            condoms.                       "Nourish the 
                                            Beast" 
            He says: "I don't use                     
            *any* of these.                    Just a few        
            You know why?                      years later        
            Because *the essence               these had        
            of pleasure is                     evaporated,        
            self-denial*."                     replaced by        
                                               ballet and        
                                               symphony        
                                               orchestras.     
                        CONCRETE_MUSIC              
                                                      Evidently,                  
                                                      oil companies
                                                      find these
                                                      less threatening.
