VL-IV 1: Christ on Parade/gratuitous aside

[Henry]

Wow, Moondog! Thanks for the reminder, Laura.  I hadn't seen him for years before his passing.  Now I know why!

Viking! (Good name for a publisher.)  

I also flashed on remembering Moondog's poem "All is Loneliness," as recorded by Janice Joplin.

Speaking of music from street performers, how about that Wild Man Fischer?  Ihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Man_Fischer

I have "Evening with Wild Man Fischer" on vinyl, and I play "I'm a Christmas Tree" on my station during the "Holiday Season".  http://www.urdomain.us/kcuf.htm

OK, since you've mentioned Moondoggie, that gives me a gratuitous opening to reference Moondog, a cultural fixture on the NYC streets in the '60s, someone who surely should have been referenced in V.  He stood silently on the street in mid-town Manhattan, dressed like a viking, selling his poetry.  Later he resumed his jazz musician career in Germany.  There's a brief glimpse of him in the opening documentary footage in the Dylan bio-pic, I'm Not There.
