Midnight Train to Georgia




When you study montage there is always the scene of the train coming and the maiden on the tracks--which is sexist btw. Why not make it a man? Then there is Philippa Foot's "trolley problem." Should the engineer veer off one way to kill one soul and avoid the crowd? Plainly there are two trains bearing down now, one in Ukraine, the other Israel. The election train has yet to leave the station. If Trump loses he is likely to be a train wreck--if Jack Smith has his say. "Midnight Train to Georgia" is a famous Gladys Knight song. Georgia is also a train wreck. You have Jeff Duncan, the former lieutenant governor, Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia election commission who is doing everything in its power to create chaos, and then the governor, Jack Kemp. Quantum entanglement is a better description of these goings on.

read an "Incident of Defenestration" by Francis Levy, Vol. 1 Brooklyn

and listen "Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight and the Pips
