ponderosa




I created the remix "Ponderosa" in my mind immediately after seeing the cement hiway divider on Albany in the South End of Boston near Pine Street Inn. The sight of the Big Dig raised hiway with all the assorted concrete paraphenalia and junk underneath it seized my imagination in conjunction with the parylized landscape, artificialized and statically frozen in waste and grime as a dark waste land typical of the metrolandscape in the clutches of the materialistic centrufuge called investments. Not that this was all intentional or a planned lack of consideration, there's no conscience at all to the thrust of business and profitability and the insult to the environment and its current demise/lost in the shuffle status is but a too bad at most , another toast to the ozone layer! As someone who worships the natural world, the sight of Ponderosa Pine Street Inn is the ultimate letdown when considering the original sight three hundred years ago when cows likely grazed here, far away in time from the crepping crud.
