I overheard him say at intermission that the poets' anger was beating up on the crowd, when we were all in agreement; he said he wanted to change things up a bit. He read The Parachutist, then an absolutely hilarious parody, a sort of erotic Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, entitled Thumbs Up. I managed to memorize large parts of it, but it would be wonderful if anyone had a copy of it in print.zenboychikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542768691744525418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014415529871703586.post-8010563704137935532007-11-12T21:12:00.000-06:002007-11-12T21:12:00.000-06:00Now I want to read more of Anderson's work.Now I want to read more of Anderson's work.Alice C.
