1. For Brian Wilson it will always be 1964, and the thought of that reassures me far more than all the sayings of Jesus and the Apostles combined and compiled religiously (so to speak) on audiobook and read devotedly by Kirk Cameron. 2. The quality of the afternoon light in New Orleans's Garden District on July 27th, 2005 will never again be duplicated. I can't remember why we were there, maybe high on too much powdered sugar and deep-fried beignets. Either way, we were newly married, just arrived, alive to the languid, tragic, sexy green world we'd plunged into like a swimming pool in a Cheever story. We knew that time did not truly exist but were still aware that we had yet to hit the cemetery where Billy and Captain America dropped acid in that movie. So, instead of stopping and getting out, I took the pictures through the car window. Once developed, the light would be a shadow of itself and the reflections on the glass would look just like ghosts. |
