Our great "list god" deemed that I must edit, so hopefully this is short enough to get through... my message from yesterday... I was disturbed yesterday morning... I live in a townhouse complex. Houses identical except for the color paint line both sides of the street that is actually our parking lot. Our apt complex association has some pretty strict guidelines about what we are and are not permitted to have on our front walk-outs and on our rear patio areas, and on more than one occasion we've been asked to trim bushes or remove an offending bucket from the front steps. Despite the restrictions, one thing that has always been permitted on any of the houses is a flag. Many of the residents fly banners associated with the seasons, the holidays, their favorite football teams, their alma maters, etc, etc... Some of the most kitchy things that one could wave have been seen flying in my neighborhood. Sept 12, though, brought a whole new look to things. It was as if someone had issued a new townhouse mandate... every house, it seemed, that had flown a "snoopy celebrates summer" banner before now flew an American flag. The stars and stripes just lined our street. Our house didn't bear a flag... we don't own one.... and I'm not nsure that we would have flown one anyway... me and my two other grad student roommates. I'm not sure it would have felt right for all of us. Anyway.... Our immediate neighbors did have a flag, which brings me back to why I was so disturbed yesterday morning. Sept 12 and following, they flew it proudly, taking it in at night and bringing it out every morning when they went to get their morning paper. But yesterday, Oct 1, when I left the house to go to the office, I noticed that their American flag had been replaced by a Halloween flag sporting a green-faced witch flying on a broomstick with her black cat and jack-o-lantern. Today, Oct 2, I noticed that even more of the American flags were gone... replaced by autumn leaf banners and Virginia Tech pennants... our American flags are gone. Around town it seems that it's the same phenomenon. Here and there you see the red, white, and blue... but it's spotty... the historic area of town is still flying the American colors as opposed to theUnion Jack that is typically seen in Colonial Williamsburg. But the houses where the residents live have changed... gone back to the state of sameness that they had prior to Sept 11. It's hard for me to see this... and it's not really the flags that make it difficult. It's hard because it feels like a message was sent to the city telling us that our mourning time is over. It's difficult because I live in a _place_ that was not directly affected by any of the atrocities, yet a place where many of us were _personally_ affected. I think there's a big difference. Even being just two hours from DC, we still haven't felt the impact, it seems. The patriotic music that was played for two weeks straight in our churches has ceased. While talk of the terrorist acts is still active in many of our conversations, things like the annual Kiwanis shrimp boil and bicycle theft on campus are just as likely to come up. These changes aren't necessarily bad. But... they aren't necessarily good, either. I sat watching part of the John Lennon tribute this evening, and it made me very sad... so sad to see that the speaking out and the candles and the singing... they are delivered to me through television wires and the copy of the NY-Times we get in the mailbox each day. I am not seeing it or feeling it in my community, and it is therefore difficult to grieve... grieve what is indeed a loss... the loss of our sense of invincibility... what is indeed a crime... the rape of our nation. Perhaps I am simply reacting in a different way than are many of the people in my community. Perhaps they, too, have adopted a more private way of handling the emotions that go along with these acts of hatred. However, the sudden change from the Stars and Stripes to the orange and black flying witch next door honestly makes me want to cry. And so cry, I do. I cry for the friends I lost in the WTC. I cry for the coworkers I lost in the Pentagon. I cry for the sense of safety that I find constantly pushed, prodded, and challenged. I cry knowing that my job could have placed me in the Pentagon right along with my lost coworkers. I cry when I hear the "Navy Hymn". I cry when I hear television celebrities and radio announcers who I regularly stream in talk about how we are not the same nation as we were several weeks ago. Because while that is the truth, it feels to me like, in "going on" with our "normal" schedules and such, an element has been lost... perhaps because we are outside that radius of direct effect... perhaps because OUR normality was not challenged in the same way that NY's has been... in the same way DC's has been. Our supermarkets encourage us to "round up" our grocery bills with donations going to the Red Cross. Our churches take collections for the Salvation Army. But I can choose from 5 airports other than DCA... and I can drive to work without considering which roads are still closed... I still have an office building... I went into a department store this past weekend. As I walked to the checkout area, I noticed that the Christmas displays were already up... busy high school aged employees were taking down the special "patriotic" section of goods that had been prominent for the last few weeks and were putting up Christmas trees instead. It was like someone was telling me... stop crying, Libby... the holidays are coming... buy your gifts... sing about Rudolph instead of Yankee Doodle... get back to your life... as it was... before Sept 11. And yes, perhaps it is time for me to accept that things are going to go on. And yes, perhaps it is just that time of year when seasonally things start to go amuck in the stores. But... let me grieve. Warp me to a place where it's OK to admit that I don't understand what's gone on. Take me to a space where I won't be told that my "Can't kill hope with a gun" t-shirt is not appropriate. Let me bring my tissues with me... my home has been challenged, and while I will stand strong in the breeze that now blows Halloween flags instead of American ones. I think I still need to feel the hurt and emotion that I'd venture nearly every American felt on Sept 11. Part of me wishes I could remember what I wore on Sept 10... remember what I ate for breakfast... what appointments and meetings I had... what CD was in the car when I went in to the office. But I can't. And i probably won't. Yes, all of our lives were changed in some way on Sept 11... but I'm not ready to move on so quickly as some. Even if my house didn't sport it, my heart flew an American flag... and it still does... and it still will... Take care... and if you made it this far, thanks for bearing with me on my long and random ramble... Just some stuff that I needed to say.

Donna ------------------------------ Date: 3 Oct 2001 08:25:02 -0700 From: "Roxanne D.Finch" Subject: Re: [lucy-list] It's hard to mourn when santa's in the way... I understand what you mean Libby. I was outraged when I found out that they had begun curbside luggage check in again. Did the lessons of Sept 11 mean nothing? Have no lasting impact? (And I won't start on my feelings about Logan Airport in Boston.) However, I think it is important to move on. Difficult as it may be we have to. It's our best defense against those who want to destroy our way of life. It's odd because the Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays are always so tense...family getting on your nerves, too many shoppers at the mall, too much to do in too little time. Maybe for the first time in a very long time we, as a society, will slow down a bit during the season and really reflect on what we all have been through and take stock of how lucky we are that we're alive and live in this country. I'm usually fairly cynical but deep down I truly hope that by preparing for Christmas even earlier than usual this year is a sign of healing and not economic greed. I am curious though why you're upset about the U.S. flags coming down when you said you wouldn't have flown it even if you had owned one. I just don't understand where that comes from and am just looking for clarification. Personally, I'm not much of a flag waver myself because I believe that patriotism is not shown in how high you fly your flag but in your everyday actions. It's funny but someone on another listserv I'm on was hawking t-shirts with pictures from Sept. 11 on them. I asked her if she had permission to reproduce those pictures for sale otherwise she was breaking copyright law. She said that if she had to break the law to show her patriotism and give others the opportunity to show their support for the U.S., so be it. The irony of breaking U.S. law and basically stealing someone else's work for your own profit in the name of patriotism was completely lost on her. It was all very strange. I never understood why my grandmother would get choked up when the subject of Pearl Harbor came up. To me, someone born nearly three decades later, it was just an event in history. Now I understand. Eventually Sept 11 will move into the realm of fiction, just like every other historical event. It will be part of history that is used as a backdrop for plot device, just like the Pearl Harbor movie. 50 years from now, the Steven Spielberg of that generation will make a movie recounting the horrors of Sept 11. If I'm lucky enough to be alive 50 years from now I wonder how I will react. Having been a History major and a complete book worm, I keep thinking about when the true historical books about this event will begin to appear. Just think about it...if some historican gathered all the stories of people killed on Sept 11 and told their lives in just half a page it would still be a book too heavy for any of us to pick up. And then there are all the stories of those that survived. Those in office buildings near the WTC who had no idea if their building was next. Those people that for some reason or another missed their flight that morning. Volumes of stories. The stories of those who lost someone in the attacks, whether it was in NYC, DC or PA. All those stories. And just when I become completely baffled at the numbers, I think of the 6 million who died just because they were born Jewish. And the nightmares of history engulf me. > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of > the overcoming of it." - Helen Keller > ---------------------------------------------------------------- And then I see a quote like this one and I have to smile and feel a renewed faith in us pitiful creatures called humans.

Wow, this was a lot longer than I intended.

Libby: I am with you wholeheartedly! My flag will not come down. Yes the house will be decorated for the holidays, but the stars and stripes will be prominently displayed along with the pumpkins, turkeys and Santas throughout the year. I don't want to forget. Our lives may return to normal, but the families of the 6000 or so victims of this tragedy will never be able to do so.

I > just don't understand where that comes from and am just looking for > clarification. > I wish I could give you better clarification than I can... but... I think it's a couple of things. #1... I know that the people that I share the house with would not have wanted to fly a flag, and I have to respect the roommates wishes and give in in some cases to keep the peace at home. #2... this isn't so clear... but I'll try! I grew up in a house where my father flew a flag on every national holiday. I spent my sixth grade year taking down the flag from the school flagpole, folding it every night with my flag-folding partner. Early on, the American flag was very present in my life... Around about the time I was in high school, there were a lot of the debates going on about flag burning. Now... I don't want to get into any of that... but I do recall one young woman standing up at a rally/convention/type event... and stating that she would rather see a flag defaced than the things that it stood for (i.e. freedom of speech) trampled on... Now... I wasn't sure how I felt about that statement then... and I'm not sure how I feel about it now... and I don't necessarily have to take a side. But... it started to change the way I felt about things. And... part of me thinks... if it's not something I'm going to do on a regular basis, then it's a bit hypocritical of me to do it in just a time of National crisis. If I don't want to show my "solidarity" (oooh... spooky word, I think) all the time... then why just show it now. Perhaps thats a very Gen-X way of thinking of it... but like you said... I think that the true patriotism is "within"... and we'll show it as we each choose to. As far as being upset about the other flags coming down... it's because I feel like a message is being sent that says... it's time to be "done" with these feelings... and I'm just not ready... Hope that clarifies... at least a little! Enough space taken up on this, though... I'd love to email you off-list if you have anything else on this to chat about... Take care, all....

My friends and I saw her open up for barenakedladies this summer at an outdoor venue with three other bandmates. Her songs have upbeat tempos but the lyrics are usually dark, kind of a contradiction.

They were opening for Kevin So. Claudia is wonderful. She has a lovely, clear voice. I think she only did one song that she wrote, but it was excellent. That night she did a lot of more traditional American folk stuff, but it could have been because her husband was playing mandolin. Since I'm not that familiar with her, I don't know what a typical show is like. She has a warm, genuine personality, as does her husband. She was a treat and I'm glad she is LA based as I plan on seeing her again. I would recommend her to anyone who enjoys folk music. That being said, I don't know if she is the best person to have Freshmen cut their teeth on. I always thought that someone like Christine Lavin is good for that. Humor can charm people into folk music. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Steffen" To: Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 8:55 PM Subject: [lucy-list] Claudia Russell > Does anyone on list have any familiarity with the work of Claudia Russell? > She's appearing at a local coffee house in a week or so, and I'm taking a > group of freshmen students from my college in a (hopefully not vain) > attempt to show them that there's music beyond Britney and Rage ATM worth > listening to. > > According to the claudiarussell.com Web site, "Claudia is an outstanding > singer/songwriter who has shared stages with Dave Carter and Tracy > Grammer, Steve Forbert, Tish Hinojosa, Kris Kristoffersen, Bill Morrisey, > Willie Nelson, Daryl Purpose, Peter Rowan, Kevin So, Rosalie Sorrels and > Bill Staines, among others.
