Amelia Is Alright. Others Are Not.

Amelia Is Alright. Others Are Not. 02/01/2005 09:56 PM
For the fourth time in less than a month, I'm airborne over the Atlantic, returning from quaint old Europe (as the Torturer General might put it). Contrary to my expectations when I flew east over this spot on January 6, my darling daughter Amelia is not sitting next to me. I've had to leave her behind in Vienna. I'm pretty sure she'll be ok in time, despite the fact that her first doctor in Klagenfurt said she sustained the worst skiing injury he'd seen that didn't kill its victim outright. She has been out of the hospital since New Year's and is mending nicely, all things considered, but her Viennese doctor - the best trauma guy in a city famous for physicians - says she shouldn't get into an airplane until the air bubble still embedded in her left lung is gone. His concern is that it would expand at altitude and blow out the side of her lung, following which each breath would pump air into her chest cavity until the mounting pressure collapsed her lungs. The doctor says that the possibility of this happening is only about five percent, but I have a history of losing my angels in airplanes, and, besides, the mere idea that Amelia could die in such a hideous way is so unendurable that I'd keep her on the ground forever before I'd seriously entertain it. In practical terms though, she shouldn't have to stay out of the stratosphere more than another month. By that time, the clotted blood capsule which encases this dire bubble should be absorbed through the healing process and the air in Amelia's lung will be released back into the atmosphere. But until it has moved, she won't. There are worse places to be stranded. Vienna is a very beautiful city. Say what you will about the Hapsburgs, they had great taste in masonry. It's as though they built their city out of whipped cream. And the Viennese are a trip, their collected minds a rich ecosystem that has supported some of the most sublime and dreadful creatures ever to live on human awareness. (Consider Mozart, Freud, or Wittgenstein. But consider also that Hitler was not in fact German...) Though the Viennese are, withal, a bit on the cerebral side, and one does begin to yearn for any relief from their utter whiteness, their level of discourse should put a higher sheen on Amelia's already polished mind. She is already starting to understand German and may be speaking it by the time she leaves. When she left America in October, she headed for Spain, hoping to be immersed in another culture long enough to learn its language. She's getting her wish, though crazy fate has chosen for her a different one than she had intended. It was hard to leave Amelia behind, but, really, she's going to be fine. She is under doctor's orders to relax, kick back, and go swimming three times a week. (I wish I could get a doctor to impose such a prescription on me.) She's staying with her pal, Stefan, in his rather grand apartment near the center of town and is enough up on her crutches that I was able able to take her shopping for a couple of hours a few days ago. (Though shopping with euros when one's income consists mostly of American pesos can be a crippling experience all by itself.) Amelia is a tough girl, if a little fine-boned and accident-prone. She'd broken her arms five times before she turned 15. She also has a dharma that seems designed to anneal a resolute spirit. In addition to drawing me for a father, she spent a year living with Spalding Gray after he'd lost his joy and recently completed six weeks in a tour bus with my old pal Bobby Weir during one of his more abstract passages. She has tall shock absorbers and they lengthen by the day. Her sense of humor, while a little dark, already provides a lot of the armor she will need against the slings and absurdities of this weird world. Here is Amelia, while she was still in the hospital, holding the 20 pound bouquet that my New York dancemob sent her. She has also been the beneficiary of a great spiritual fountain of global good will. In addition to Stefan's doting family - his wonderful Uncle Walter and Aunt Elizabeth have become so attached to her that it may be necessary for me to kidnap her when the time comes to bring her home - I must have received a hundred and fifty e-mails from folks, from both BarlowFriendz and strangers, who profess to be praying for her. If there's anything at all to this prayer thing, she'll be dancing like JLo before Valentine's Day. If you like to contact her directly in the meantime, here are her particulars: Amelia Rose Barlow c/o Stefan Zaffalon Lammgasse 5/7 1080 Vienna Austria Her mobile:+43 699 1187 1770 Stefan's mobile: +43 699 10 14 46 18 Amelia Rose Barlow <ameliarosebarlow@gmail.com Stefan Zaffalon <stefanzaffalon@gmx.at> Finally, I am very grateful for the spiritual generosity you have focused on Amelia at a time when so many were suffering so much. Our moment of terror seems trivial against the numberless tragedies that rim the Indian Ocean. Luke Scully and Angie Foust before the tsunami. Indeed, the fleeting Christmas terror that I might lose Amelia was placed in stark perspective by the fact that some of my dearest friends did lose a son and brother during that terrible time. When the earth-tossed waters roiled onto the Thai coast, it appears they took Luke Scully with them. Luke was the son of former Grateful Dead road manager Rock Scully, the stepson of my longtime pal and Egyptologist Nicki Scully, and the brother of my sweet friends Sage Scully and Pearl Steinbrecher. I'd known him since he was a kid, and he'd become a kind of shirt-tail nephew to me. I was personally...

What Would Jesus REALLY Do? 11/03/2003 07:03 PM
Remember back during the Republican primary debate in Iowa when the then-candidates were asked, "What political philosopher or thinker do you identify with and why?" Well, our now-president was quick to flaunt his religiosity. He responded, "Christ, because he changed my heart." Now I know this is old news, and it has already been established that Christ wasn't actually a political philosopher, but I think it's still an important issue that needs to be addressed. Although Christ was not a political philosopher, he had a lot to say about morality, and morality is almost inseparable from politics. Throughout his presidency, Bush has left no question that his somewhat peculiar morality has played an immense role in his policy and decision making.

Oh, God - "The Jesus Factor" asks what's behind the president's religious beliefs is a brief Slate review of a new Frontline documentary (premiering tonight) that examines President Bush's religious views. It sounds pretty interesting, if only to get a sense of where he's coming from. But I was surprised to read a pretty astounding figure buried in the article.

[O]f the $100 million so far dispensed to faith-based charities by the Bush administration, not one dollar has gone to a Jewish or Muslim organization.

What?! I've always been irritated by the use of federal money for faith-based charities, but to find that it's only going to Christian charities is even more egregious. Argh!

What would Jesus say about Pete the
Porno Puppet? 05/01/2004 11:49 AM
Newsweek's Brian Braiker says,

This is a story i wrote this week about Pete the Porno Puppet, a truly bizarro PSA campaign that XXXchurch ("the #1 Christian porn site") launched -- it's an ad designed to convince parents to get rid of their porn stash so that children aren't exposed to it. The irony is that the anti-porn ad was filmed by smut peddler Jimmy D. Also, it's creepy as all getout.

Indeed. When I first ran accross the site a month or two ago, I was surprised to see they were (without permission) posting excerpts from an article< /a> about Hustler publisher Larry Flynt that I wrote for Wired News. Seeing your work snipped out of context to promote a political agenda you're not part of is almost as disturbing as... um... a talking, evangelical sock puppet that wants your porn.
