I WAS TRYING TO DESCRIBE YOU TO SOMEONE


WAS TRYING
 TO DESCRIBE YOU
TO SOMEONE



" I was trying to describe you to someone a few days ago.
You don´t look like any girl I´ve ever seen before.
I couldn´t say: Well, she looks just like Jane Fonda except that she´s got red hair and her mouth is different ando f course she´s not a movie star.
I couldn´t say that because you don´t look like Jane Fonda at all.


I finally ended up describing you as a movie I saw when I was a child in Tacoma, Washington. I guess I saw it in 1941 or ´42: somewhere in there. I think I was seven or eight or six. It was a movie about rural electrification and a perfect 1930´s New Deal morality kind of movie to show kids.


The movie was about farmers living in the country without electricity. They had to use lanterns to see by at night, for sewing and Redding, and they didn´t have any appliances, like toasters or washing machines, and they couldn´t listen to the radio.


Then they built a dam with big electric generators and they put poles across the countryside and Sprung wire over fields and passtures.


There was an incredible heroic dimension that came from the simple putting up of poles for the wires to travel along. Hey Lockheed ancient and modern at the same time.




Then the movie showed Electricity like a young Greek god coming to the farmer to take away forever the dark ways of his life.


Suddenly, religiously, with the throwing of a switch the farmer had electric lights to see by when he milked his cows in the early Black winter mornings.

The farmers family got to listen to the radio and have a toaster and lots of bright lights to sew dresses and read the newspaper by.


It was really a fantastic movie and excited me like listening to The Star-Spangled Banner or seeing photographs of President Roosevelt or hearing him on the radio.
...The President of the United States...


I wanted electricity to go everywhere in the World. I wanted all the farmers in the World to be able to listen to President Roosevelt on the radio".

That´s how you look to me.
