WORDS FROM KRISTIN:
""Palm" is
an itchy kid. Twitchy, fidgety, changing outfits so many times you wonder if maybe the problem is with his bone structure.
I haven;t yet been able to make him work. "Palm" is a slacker, I guess. He's a California song, which may explain why he's
never been happy in New England or New Orleans. I lengthened him, shortened him, rearranged him, picked up his tempo, then
slowed it down, and still he refuses to shine.
But I figure, if anybody can help a wayward child, it's the Muses,
so I'm sending him to Dave and Bernie camp. Most of the other kids at Dave and Bernie camp are happy, well-adjusted success
stories. I'm very proud of them. But "Palm," as much as I like him, well... I'm just hoping he doesn't get sent home.
On the phone
the other day, I warned Bernie that he was gonna hate me soon. "How soon?" he asked.
"Well...in, like, a minute."
Bernie laughed.
"Kris, I could never hate you."
"Ok. The Muses record has 40 songs on it."
Bernie sighed. "I hate you."
I sighed,
too. "I know."
It
could be that there's no room on this record for a troubled song. Or it could be that summer camp magic will turn "Palm" around,
show it a good tough-love time, teach it to play nice. "Palm" is a good kid, I think, just a little prickly. And I've seen
prickly beasts turn around before. I've seen 'em fall flat, too, but I always give 'em a chance.
Love, Kristin"
