Cultural Attache Senno with Special Editorial to Fun in Fresno.

So, just in case anyone thinks nothing cultural is going on in Fresno I will cover a few things cultural.

Go Bulldogs! Sports is a big cultural attraction in the valley.

OK, Senno knows culture from sports, though.

So, here we have Trans Siberian Railroad rocking "O Fortuna" in a Fresno appearance.


Trans Siberian Orchestra "O Fortuna," Fresno CA 04/03/12, Beethoven's Last Night tour - YouTube

The Tower Theatre is great for old movies and stuff. Why, I saw one of my first boobs in a perfomance of Romeo and Juliet in a movie in 7th grade there. Great times, indeed.

Roosevelt School of the Performing Arts puts on excellent shows. Go RoughRiders! Several famous graduates Senno does know, including Audra McDonald.

And the Fresno Met Museum has Rembrandts, Monets, Manets (always get them mixed up), Picassos... What? We don't have those? Umm, what do we have then? We don't have that museum no more? Closed it's doors? Jeez..

OK, so we have the Discovery Center. Which is a hands on type place, great for the little ones. They can do quickie science experiments and have fun. And see some small animal exhibits and cool stuff.

This has been Cultural Attache Senno with Cultural News.

are the dreams all lost
are the dreams all made fear

all of the buildings, all of those cars
were once just a dream
in somebody's head

she pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam
she pictures a soul
with no leak at the seam

lets take the bolt out
wait until darkness
let's take the bolt out
wait until darkness comes

nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey
nowhere in the suburbs
in the cold light of day

there in the midst of it so alive and alone
words support like bone

dreaming of mercy street
wear your inside out
dreaming of mercy
from your banks demands again
dreaming of mercy street.
'swear they moved that sign
dreaming of mercy
from your banks demand

pulling out the papers from the drawers that no longer slide tugging at the darkness, word upon word

confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box
to the priest-he's the doctor
they can change the locks

dreaming of the victory-the hope for a solution
of staying indoors

dreaming of mercy street.
wear your insides out
dreaming of mercy
from your banks demands
dreaming of mercy street
'swear they moved that sign
looking for mercy
from your banks demands

mercy, mercy, looking for mercy
mercy, mercy, looking for mercy

Anne, with her father is out in the street
filling with tears
saying last goodbyes

General Silliness!

Or Senno Does Satire - Catch-22 Style

General Silliness did report
to his new command
and found Major Retard
at his desk
"what are you doing in my desk"
General Silliness did ask
"Why, I'm trying it on for size
to find if I wish for promotion
or will misbehave
and seek demotion"
"What have you decided,
what will you do?"
"Why I will do nothing as much as I can
and bury my head
and just pretend
that problems
ain't problems
and there is no cure
for what ills
and then take my nerve pills"
"Sounds like a good plan
let's proceed
except upon what will we feed"
"why we will rely upon Corporal Juan
to feed us while we complain
about his family
and the stain
they leave about
as they earn their way"
"OK, great," said General Silliness
"and we will wait til higher command
relieves us
Let us report a Catch-22 and hide about
denying 2 + 2
and other basic facts of logic
as we dither with no response
cause we cannot do the possible
not be responsible for naught
but what we see and care about
as we do indeed hide out."

Rare Breed

I'm observing
the rare breed
of native Californian
shhh, they will startle
look, they still drink
bartles and james
and fly their planes
into the sky
what other curious oddities can be noted?
why their bills are often floated
why do they talk so?
cause "hella" is the way to show
that everything's great
even copasetic
about their state frenetic
why do they take a diuretic?
that the model thin disorder
and what about their homes?
custom order
are they so rare a breed at all?
why no, they are the most common of all
in the United States that is
as population is great size
even as they think they life life
les miserables

Illegal Alien Blues (Apologies to T'Pau - Heart and Soul)

Something in the moonlight catches my eye
The shadow of a person goes creeping by
Looking for a little bit of hope to grow, so
Give em love, give em hope to grow
Let em cross to the other side now
Tied to the hope that they will somehow
Hard on the heels of something more
But evading la migra they do go
The tear in their heart as they walk on by (more than you know)
They creep low but their heads are high
Everything they do is for hope to grow, please (let it grow)
Give em love, give em hope to grow
Looking to the day when they are green (I feel a fearing in their hearts)
They are running, they are in a race
They move in a way that shows their fear
Give em love, give em hope to grow
Leaving their home ain't easy now (Tired eyes, tears that dried)
Leaving is the hardest part (On the run, on the hide, hope ain't dead)
All they want is opportunity (A turn of the key, through the same to your own ancestors shown)
Now I've had opportunity from the very start (Don't you know that's our birthright)
(Everything I've said was to the point)
oh won't you even try to (Can't you try to)

Give em love, give em hope to grow (give a little bit of hope to grow)
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give em love, give em hope to grow (give a little bit of hope to grow)
And don't you make 'em beg for more (must they beg you)
Give a sign, they need to know need to know
A little bit of heart and soul
