Lyrics by Phil Ochs
Scenes of my young years were warm in my mind
Visions of shadows that shine
‘Til one day I returned
And found they were the victims of the vines
Of changes
Brooklyn’s Eifel Tower. The Parachute jump. Oct. 7, 2022
Men’s bathroom, Coney Island, Oct 7, 2022
Filmset for “Imaginary Friends” ….
Moon over tattered red flag on Coney Island Beach, looking south over the Atlantic Ocean.
Still there after all these years! The original Nathan’s. If I still ate hot dogs (gave up eating pigs and cows — let alone horses! — a few decades ago) I’d surely return to my roots here! In the late 1960’s, some creep dropped a LSD into the mustard vats, injuring lots of unsuspecting people. YES to psychedelics when taken voluntarily, NO to imposing them (or ANY drug, mRNA vaxxines included) on people!
Part of set for “Imaginary Friends”, filming here. I remember eating my first 10 cent cotton candy here with my Grandmother in 1955, fascinated by the spinning of sugar into “cotton” and the tricky hand motion of sweeping the cardboard cone around the wheel.
