Captain Marshmallow: January 2009
http://captainmarshmallow.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 29, 2009. My sisters have been appointed to important cabinet positions in the Obama administration. Savannah May is a PETA consultant, ASPCA liaison. Lily is helping to end Mountaintop Removal in her ancestral home of Appalachia. Terminator Cracks W.’s Head Open, Revealing Contents. And so it is with talking points. Words are coming out, but what of substance is being said? It’s a question that’s haunted our country for almost eight years: Is he serious? Or is it just more bad acting?

How Do You Like Your Grits. Authors post what they feel is their most gritty published work. Brian Sousa, One Night in Salvador. CD Collins, Sinvergüenza. December 30, 2013. Why is it C.D.’s most gritty:. My most gritty story is about cocaine addiction. Sinvergüenza by C.D. Collins. When I applied for the job, I expected a lot of fancy incomprehensible machines. But everything was simple, primitive, even, like something a tinkering kid might figure out for a science project. 8220;Hey, monkey,” the ...

Captain Marshmallow: February 2009
http://captainmarshmallow.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 11, 2009. Has the Cream Candy Creamed? It’s true what they say about insecure people and downtrodden cultures. Because we feel inferior, we have a tendency to brag. When news comes from Appalachia onto the national scene, it usually involves grandmothers peddling oxycontin out of their pocketbooks or finding a philandering husband in a deep freeze with his face on backwards. Good Lord, I think. Do they have to show that? As an antidote, I play a game called Name That Kentuckian. Insid...

Captain Marshmallow: January 2005
http://captainmarshmallow.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 14, 2005. Voices from A Red State. What the heck is going on out there? Did somebody mess with Texas? Are you mad because we call you the fly-over people? Southerners like Bush because he’s a redneck cowboy like them…. Southerners think Kerry is part of the effete elite…. Southerners are Hawks…. So, unlike John Kerry, I went there. I packed my lagoon-blue Jetta and, accompanied by my Himilayan cat, Savannah May, drove the 1,000 miles to my old Kentucky home. I have an aunt who went to the...

Captain Marshmallow: What Your Valentine Really Wants
http://captainmarshmallow.blogspot.com/2009/02/what-your-valentine-really-wants.html
Wednesday, February 11, 2009. What Your Valentine Really Wants. I’m beginning to see a pattern: couples in trouble because one partner wants a verbal intimacy that the other is not interested, capable of, or . able to fathom. Last night, I spoke with a close male friend, who yakked on like an interesting, articulate magpie about the nuances of his troubled relationship with his girlfriend. Her complaint: he doesn’t talk to her. His complaint: she goes nuts on him. Get your head on, boy! I know men who co...

Captain Marshmallow: February 2006
http://captainmarshmallow.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 24, 2006. I was recently talking to a friend about the list of unfortunate actions taken by the current Bush Administration. My friend remarked that surely Bush would not mess with a particular freedom, because everyone would be up in arms. Our right to choose an abortion is back in question, our right to choose a leader in serious Diebold. Still, we go on about our lives. We do not take it to the streets. Are we too complacent, lazy, busy, comfortable, blind? Or do we just feel helpless?

Captain Marshmallow: What I Can Do
http://captainmarshmallow.blogspot.com/2012/05/what-i-can-do-cd-collins-my-favorite.html
Sunday, May 13, 2012. What I Can Do. 8220;You don’t have to do everything. 8221; he said, “but you must do something. Do what you can.”. Yesterday, I worked with a graphic designer on the jacket design for my forthcoming album Clean Coal/Big Lie. I’ve been working on this album for three years. There have been many frustrations, set backs and delays. I’ll spare you the chronicle. The jacket lists two songs that haven’t been recorded yet. But, with a lot of help from gene...Well, they were invasive bush h...
