1) Tour Diary for December 2004

What's up with the Yule, anyway? Why do people all around the world
celebrate
and wish each other well on a freezing cold day in the middle of winter?
"Yule" is an old Irish word for "wheel". They saw the cycle of moons,
what we
call
months, as a wheel that finished turning on the winter solstice and, lo
and
behold, started turning again. And a good thing, too. If the cycle didn't
start
over, the days wouldn't get longer, the Sun wouldn't get stronger, the
crops
wouldn't grow, and things would get ugly indeed. In fact, they saw the
Sun as
a source of life itself, and in fact it still is. So life starts over in
the
middle of winter. Candles are lit, trees of life are brought right inside
the
house, and even Scrooges buy turkeys for deserving tiny Tims. Mythology,
our
worldwide language of symbols, has a long family tree of sun gods and
goddesses
who are reborn on the Winter solstice, and they're all life-givers,
bringers
of light, nourishers of the crops and the spirit. Most importantly, they
all
symbolize compassion for all of us on this fragile planet, so dependent
on the
Sun, so dependent on the mysterious moon, and so dependent on each other.
The
end of the month brought a global call for compassion in the wake of the
Tsunami. No holiday turkey could be fat enough to ease the suffering of
the
thousands of tiny Tims in Asia who need us now. As the wealthiest culture
in
history,
we in America are uniquely able to help them, and we've all been reaching
down
deep, not only in our pocketbooks but in our souls, going back to the
well of
compassion that is replenished in midwinter, as the planet comes to life
again after the darkest day of the year. Follow your traditions, to be
sure,
but
this year make our rally to help these people the symbol of a brand new
sun
god.

I'm hoping that someone on this list managed to record The Kennedys'
appearance this week on WUMB. It was an interview and performance (taped
this past December) and aired at noon on Wednesday 1/5/05.

Would like to trade for a copy of it! Please e-mail me directly.

Thanks!

Frank
