Lost in the Flood

Hey kid, you think that’s oil?
Man, that ain’t oil, that’s blood.

I didn’t make it down the shore this weekend, but I did manage to listen to lots of Bruce. I sat there on the orange couch with the sun coming through the windows, coffee and a newspaper at my side, listening to Greetings From Asbury Park, reading about the Gulf of Mexico and feeling a little helpless.

The hi-fi sounded great and the music made me feel better. But the music couldn’t do a thing about the oil.

The paper says the oil is spewing into our ocean at a rate of one Exxon Valdez disaster every ten days&#151one Exxon Valdez disaster every ten days&#151and it’s going to keep on flowing until August, at least.

What are we going to do?
