Emptiness King

1967 - NYC
Greenwich Village  
Paul Simon's kid brother, Eddie... 
A dead ringer for Paul 
Heard me play 'Alison' at a 'Hoot Nite' (Open Mic) 
At Gerde's Folk City  
And outside the club, after the show, offered me $100 
To buy the song outright 
Both guys who'd accompanied me, Doug & his pal, Don  
Were shaking their heads, 'No' 
Eddie 'presented' as a hustler... 
And I didn't take him seriously 
On the train back to New Rochelle  
I asked Don & Doug if they'd noticed Janis Ian waiting to chat... 
Don had - Don had graduated New Rochelle High School 
A few years earlier & was playing Hudson River Folk Concerts 
With #peteseeger & although not yet a 'somebody' 
Don Maclean was on his way & acted 'as if' 
On the train into the city... 
Don & Doug Meyer (A great guitarist who preferred accordion in 1967)
Had talked guitar gear stuff...and ignored me  
But on the way home I was the center of attention  
I'm sure I went on too much about dylan, the beatles & the kinks... 
Eventually Don blurted out that the beatles were overrated   
& had ruined Rock & Roll - He particularly hated the Stones 
Who 'stole everyone else's styles & sold sex' 
& Dylan who'd 'betrayed folk music' 
I'd never encountered quite such a lucid-adjacent 
Takedown of the 60's music scene  
And definitely underestimated the resentment 
felt by folkies back in the 60s  
Were the 1950s really simpler times? 
Or was it because everything was hidden & not talked about?  
I think the only people who really yearn for the past 
Are the ones who weren't there...
