“A Simple Twist of Fate”*
<p>Photo credit: selfie</p><p></p><p>“A Simple Twist of Fate”*</p><p>Getting ready to play Dylan’s “A Simple Twist of Fate,” I thought of the folk and rock heroes from my generation of baby boomers who made astronomically big bucks, were showered in a constant spotlight of celebrity, and went on to become multimillionaires. It takes no more than a simple click and search of Google to find their net worth.</p><p>A few years ago, I wrote about the comments Joni Mitchell made about the generation of baby boomers at Woodstock. Read “<a target="_blank" href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/03/29/woodstock-at-50/">Woodstock at 50</a>,” (March 29, 2019) at CounterPunch. Her observations were fairly earthshaking given the revenue the song “Woodstock” must have made for her. Of interest is the fact that Mitchell didn’t attend that massive gathering of the youth movement in August 1969. She was on a major TV interview program soon after with Crosby, Stills, and Nash. They most certainly were there.</p><p>I love playing Neil Young songs on my acoustic guitar, with the footnote that the consensus is that my folk voice is reportedly pretty bad. I’ll keep on singing as if no one is watching or listening to me. Following the 2001 terror attacks, Young wrote a song, “Let’s Roll,” and spoke out for the Patriot Act. Many know what that law has done to individual rights. Here was a guy that I also wrote about in “Woodstock at 50,” who wrote “Ohio,” about the May 4, 1970 massacre of students by the Ohio National Guard at Kent State University. Go figure?</p><p>Early on in the hapless and hopeless presidential campaign of Kamala Harris, a celebrity, another great singer-songwriter, performed at a local venue. I am not saying the celebrity’s motivation was bad, as he’s supported some pretty liberal candidates. What I am saying is that celebrities, such as this particular celebrity, enhance their images and perhaps bottom line with such appearances. Some less generous commentators, who I can’t name offhand, have called fame in support of political personages a kind of grifting. I don’t think if I had been called up to the stage at that local Harris rally to perform a cover, I would have accepted. I was saved by not being there, and of course, I never would have been called on since I’m an unknown.</p><p>Celebrity is a result of the notoriety of many of the greats that I named above. After all, isn’t separating the art from the artist part of the equation, whether or not they become multimillionaires and unaccessible because of our support and adoration?</p><p>A few years ago, my wife and I were ushering at a local theater around the holiday season, when the play was held up for about 15 minutes because a celebrity and his family were coming to watch the performance. A year or two later, that same celebrity had a leading role in the same play that had been postponed a few years earlier to wait for that performer’s arrival. This is an expected outcome of celebrity and influence.</p><p>My collection of writing from 2008-2026 is at Amazon in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GT49GCXZ">Writing On The Left For a Better World</a>. Help a writer and buy a volume or two or three.</p><p>* Bob Dylan</p> <br/><br/>Thank you for subscribing. <a href="https://howielisnoff2024.substack.com/p/a-simple-twist-of-fate?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=share&action=share&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoxNDkyMTQyMTEsInBvc3RfaWQiOjIwNjIyNDExMSwiaWF0IjoxNzgzNzU3MjQ4LCJleHAiOjE3ODYzNDkyNDgsImlzcyI6InB1Yi0yMzcyNzQ1Iiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.gUZ174mllapwNl41f4j7DziORSmuHHQh4USTyonI92s&utm_campaign=CTA_3">Share this episode</a>.

Covering Lightfoot
<p></p><p>Covering Lightfoot</p><p>I lift my acoustic guitar from its cradle with great reverence. Recently restrung and tuned, I Travis pick the notes and sometimes melody interspersed of a Canadian folksinger. I heard him once in a field at Brown University in a long-ago spring, then missed him in Torrington, Connecticut after his name appeared on a theater marquee I saw while canvassing for Bernie in ’16. I once carried a guitar on the streets of Providence in a different epoch, but I was not mature enough to stick with lessons at the music store. Now I play the plaintive chords and notes under a gray sky in the fullness of early summer of that balladeer now gone. It is beautiful in a sad way.</p> <br/><br/>Thank you for subscribing. <a href="https://howielisnoff2024.substack.com/p/covering-lightfoot?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=share&action=share&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoxNDkyMTQyMTEsInBvc3RfaWQiOjIwNTY4MzM2OCwiaWF0IjoxNzgzNzU3MjQ4LCJleHAiOjE3ODYzNDkyNDgsImlzcyI6InB1Yi0yMzcyNzQ1Iiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.YAM46EimEw-EZbo17q6nJ0sftxjLwu1P_OIzhEWLHH0&utm_campaign=CTA_3">Share this episode</a>.

Less Than a Penny for Your Thoughts
<p></p><p>Less Than a Penny for Your Thoughts</p><p>It’s been decades since I dealt with a publication that paid for articles. Even though I was not crazy about dealing with a then-editor of the Providence Journal, at least they paid and they paid the industry rate that freelancers earned at that time. The Palm Beach Post didn’t pay me for an article I wrote about gun violence and added a complaint involving the article’s conclusion about the National Rifle Association, and that final paragraph was excised from the final piece. The “best” issue related to nonpayment was in connection with an article on a specific issue related to the Kent State massacre of May 4, 1970, which I wrote at the suggestion or behest of an editor at the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The forensic sound analysis of a student’s recording at the time of the massacre was what that article explored. It took months to complete the article, which involved interviews and lots of preparation in the way of sources. As an anniversary of the massacre approached, and the editor I interacted with about the article failed to respond to my then-latest edit of the piece, I dumped that article down into the online political site at which I had contributed for years, also without pay.</p><p>The conclusion is that many publications don’t pay for the work of the writer or journalist. In other words, we’re expected to write to inform and perhaps for our health, the latter not being a reason at all. In my opinion, the Internet has accelerated that change with writers certain to need a day job to stay afloat.</p><p>Adding insult to the injury of not paying for the labor of writers is when publications tout the large, in my estimation, donations that come their way. How insulting it is to write repeatedly for a publication, have that publication tout large donations, and not receive the proverbial 25¢.</p><p>At least writing on my own on Substack, I can keep some measure of dignity.</p> <br/><br/>Thank you for subscribing. <a href="https://howielisnoff2024.substack.com/p/less-than-a-penny-for-your-thoughts?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=share&action=share&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoxNDkyMTQyMTEsInBvc3RfaWQiOjIwNDQ2NTYxNSwiaWF0IjoxNzgyOTUxNjEyLCJleHAiOjE3ODU1NDM2MTIsImlzcyI6InB1Yi0yMzcyNzQ1Iiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.b5o5RPX42_Ctwp7jqDaly5QjVZLckoRN2hiVlnPex9w&utm_campaign=CTA_3">Share this episode</a>.
