Native American Heritage Month 2022 Daily Songs

In getting ready for song selection, I compiled a list of all of the Native American artists I had reviewed; I had been meaning to see who had new releases anyway.

It just wasn't feeling right. I didn't figure out what felt right until I was already four days in. 

The first two come from books that I will be reading soon, on Redbone and Robbie Robertson of The Band. Then of course Buffy Sainte-Marie has been familiar to me since I was a small child, and I actually have reviewed her. I always meant to get to Rita Coolidge for reviews.

I was starting off with the bigger names, and then there was an issue, which I will get into.

I ended up using Google searches to find completely different artists and listen to their top tens.

There was one set of results that came up without being linked to another site, and then three articles that I also used.

https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/blog/rumble-on-more-native-american-musicians-you-should-know/

For the listening in general, my favorites are probably Mic Jordan, Southern Scratch, and The Halluci Nation. There is a song that I found a bit late for Thanksgiving, but I am pretty sure I want to use it next year. I listened to Keith Secola's "NDN Kars" multiple times.

I loved finding a song based on a classic Star Trek episode: "Edith Keeler Must Die" by Arigon Starr. (Why not just take her into the future with you, Jim? She would have loved it!)

There is that familiar frustration of not getting to know the artists well enough, the way I did in my reviewing days. I get some familiarity with more artists, but less depth. I hope that will shift again.

I felt pretty good about this list, except then everyone was so new that I felt bad using Buffy Sainte-Marie; I had used her for daily songs multiple times before, making her my only repeat.

Then I repeated again for the last song! 

This was a double repeat, because not only have I used songs from Buffy and from Tanya Tagaq, but also I have used that specific song before. I resisted the urge to use it, and then I realized why I needed to use it.

Way back in 2014, I wrote a post that was not about Metallica or "Master of Puppets", but that was related enough that it was a good place to capture my insight on that song following symphonic rules. I had mentioned it some other places, but it was a neat thing for me to discover and I needed to memorialize it.

https://sporkful.blogspot.com/2014/02/being-music-writer-i-want-to-be.html

I needed to use “You Got To Run (Spirit of the Wind)” once more, and then when I posted about it memorialize how much and why I love this song. 

First of all, musically it is an enjoyable song. It also combined one of my old familiar musicians with someone that I found not just by starting to review bands, but by also trying to find diverse artists and stretch. 

In reviewing Tagaq originally, the material was mostly dark and discomfiting. Here there was a completely different energy, giving a fresh perspective. Part of that energy was when she calls "Standing Rock!" That was important too.

There was another time period where I was searching for new material among Native artists I had reviewed. At the time, no one had anything new released and it seemed like everyone was at Standing Rock. That is not to say that their time there was the reason there was no new music, nor that it would not be a a good reason if that were the case, but this song placed Standing Rock as a source of collaboration and inspiration.

It's not perfect. The lyrics are probably outdated. If it were written now, I don't think they'd use the "Whether you're woman or whether you're man", because there is more awareness of Two Spirit people now than there was then. The song nonetheless has a solid hold on my heart, and I needed to post about it. Done!

But there was a snag. It goes beyond media, so I will post about it on Tuesday. Maybe it will fit in one post.

Otherwise, here are November's songs:

Vincent

My sisters and I recently visited the Oregon Historical Society.

That sounds like the preface to a post on the travel blog. There will be posts there, but this is more about art.

We were there for the exhibits on Motown and the Jantzen Beach carousel, and also to see their Santa Land display, this year with an old Cinnamon Bear costume.

Something unexpected caught my eye.

It was a baseball bat on a base of toy cars with a photo on top and a timeline in the background. I did not really take in the timeline or the photo. 

It was part of the "I Am An American" exhibit, which I did not really know anything about in advance. It is by one of the featured individuals, artist Roberta Wong.

My first guess was that this represented someone's "All-American" childhood: baseball and cars, right?

(I have been reading about sports lately, so that may have influenced my thinking.)

Then I saw it was Vincent Chin.

Chin may very well have played with toy cars as a child and played baseball, but that's not what was being represented.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Vincent_Chin

Chin was fatally beaten with a baseball bat by two auto-workers -- one recently laid off -- in Detroit. There was a lot of race-baiting in Detroit, supposedly based on Japanese competition leading to declining sales of US brands. Of course, Chin was also a Detroit resident, and of Chinese descent, not Japanese, but that's how hate crimes go. 

The trial was a gross miscarriage of justice and became an important point of civil rights activism for Asian Americans.

I would not have even known the name, except for the rise in anti-Asian American violence in the wake of COVID. Also, this year was the 40th anniversary.

Still, people know about the death for the most part, and not his life... except that he was killed on the night of his bachelor party, eight days away from getting married.

So, I don't know much about him as a person. I don't know if he was athletic or bookish or both, and yet there was still that familiar name, and the grim reminders.

I wanted to write about that now, because this exhibit is only up through January 8th, and that's not a lot of time to go see it. I am also writing because with that visit and some other recent visits (that will get reviewed on the travel blog), I have been thinking about art, and how it can work.

I saw the piece, and thought one incorrect thing. Then I saw more, and I got pulled in differently than simply knowing the background would have brought me in.

It's not just that there is an emotional difference, but there is also a shift in perspective. I feel something new about the death, but also I have a different perspective on it.

It's great when art is pretty, but the possibilities are much more.

Christmas Break

No posts until Saturday (on the travel blog) this week. Be merry!

Read: Loveless and Gender Queer

On a post from July 13th, I mentioned that I needed to read Maia Kobabe's Gender Queer: A Memoir. I finished it July 22nd.

https://sporkful.blogspot.com/2022/07/reading-banned-books.html

Reading it was part of my interest in challenged books, but getting to it that soon also reflects a personal change in how I do things. If I am interested in a book and the library has it, I usually request it right away now, rather than adding it to the list. 

I mention that as a point of interest. In previous years no matter how many books I had read, the number on my To Read list didn't move, because I kept adding more. This year, my To Read list only has twenty additions from this year, and I have still made progress on the older items. I probably am more organized, but that immediate commitment makes a difference as well.

The other pertinent book was Loveless by Alice Oseman, finished on May 3rd.

I don't remember seeing anything about challenges to Loveless. I wouldn't have been surprised, but I think I just saw it on Goodreads or maybe Twitter and thought it seemed interesting.

I read books in groups because I think it helps me notice themes and make associations. Requesting books as they come up can make the order less deliberate, but things still work out.

Gender Queer is a memoir of Maia Kobabe, focusing on coming to terms with being nonbinary and asexual, while Loveless is a novel with an asexual but cisgender protagonist, Georgia.

My point goes beyond the obvious connection.

One turning point for Maia was finding pronouns that felt right, discovering and adopting Christine Elvorson's e/em/eir, and finding someone else who also used them.

In the other post, I wrote about the relief it could be to find out that you were not the only one. That played a role, but this went beyond relief; finally something felt right!

The other turning point for Maia was a change in dress, inspired by Johnny Weir. 

Previously uncomfortable leaning into femininity, Maia had tended toward very nondescript clothing. Maybe it was gender-neutral, but that could be overshadowed by how color neutral and flair neutral it was. Maybe that wasn't the truest reflection of self, but it seemed like the only possible self.

I may be projecting some there; it's been months since I read the book, and I have my own issues with choosing inoffensive, incognito dress, even if for different reasons.

For Maia, it was amazing to find ways to implement color and patterns and interest, not trying to be something e was not, so finding more fully what e was and is. A flamboyant man pointed in a direction, but it was Maia's own path. That's beautiful.

Referring once more to the banned books post, I had written how as much value as there is for people seeing themselves represented in book, there is also great importance in seeing others represented and understanding them better. 

In Loveless, part of Georgia's journey is finding other people like her, but another part is her friends trying to help her be "normal" by encouraging experimentation. That ends up causing a lot of embarrassment and hurt feelings.

It's not that Georgia was unwilling to try. She loves rom-coms and shipping fanfiction; how can romance not be something she is going to feel for herself? And how many people would even expect that being asexual and aromantic could be a thing?

That journey is important, but there was something else there.

Once Georgia was able to accept that romance could not be her be-all, end-all, she was able to do some very special things to show her friends that she loved them. Her life was not without love, but society  puts a lot of emphasis on that one type. Finding your way to romance can be a long and lonely haul. 

What if you didn't need that to have your day?

This has been a meandering post, I know. The reason for that is because it is bouncing back and forth between multiple things that are important but different. Let me try and sum up:

• Diverse books are important for those represented therein.
• Diverse books are important for those not represented therein.
• Strict enforcement of patriarchy hurts those who do not conform by their gender and sexuality.
• Strict enforcement of patriarchy also hurts the straights.

There is so much joy available if we don't chase it away.

Acceptance

A few weeks ago on the travel blog I wrote about a visit to Bonneville Dam:

https://sporktogo.blogspot.com/2022/11/columbia-river-gorge-bonneville-dam.html 

If you haven't been reading those posts, some time ago I started adding notes about COVID and accessibility. For the COVID one, I mentioned my frustration with these updates when it feels so much like no one is trying or even cares anymore. However (despite none of the staff being masked), there was a sign encouraging mask wearing, saying "Be A Life Hero."

My own frustration aside, I can at least commit to not spreading infection.

Regardless, I am not a hero, a rather disappointing realization not too long ago.

That is what I wanted to be, where I could swoop in and stop bad things from happening. Then a lot of bad things happened; seeing them coming did nothing for prevention.

It seems that my real ability is helping to mop up after the bad things happen.

That is valuable, just not what I was hoping for.

There are two things that relate, but one is more recent.

For the old one, well, you may recall me writing about finding out things about me that I am, and that I can't not be.

I am a caregiver, and a writer, and a historian.

https://sporkful.blogspot.com/2018/06/one-more-personal-truth.html 

I had written about that, but I don't think I ever wrote about trying to see one step beyond that, and where it would lead. I did do that, and the word that came back was "healer".

I thought "teacher" would have made more sense (going along with the history and writing), but there are multiple ways of teaching and healing.

Regardless, if my most essential traits lead me toward being a healer, that implies that the injuries are going to happen more than that I will be able to stop them.

The more recent thought was to look at how many things have been so bad for so long.

It's not that new bad things don't happen. If there are possibilities of preventing some things, let's do it, but there has been room for a lot of healing for a long time. 

It wasn't always obvious; often when people remember a previous era as more innocent, they are only remembering the things they didn't have to think about or know about.

There were always others who knew and couldn't avoid knowing if they tried.

I cannot fix that, but I do not have to spread it.

Sports Movies

I am not actively working on it at this time, but among my other reading lists there is a sports-themed one.

Three of my other reading lists have books that relate to baseball. As I have a few baseball-related books on Kindle, I decided to go through the Kindle sports books in general. That started with The Ultimate Book of Sports Movies: Featuring the 100 Greatest Sports Movies of All Time by Ray Didinger and Glen MacNow.

I found plenty of room for disagreement, but I suppose that's inevitable. It does seem like a good time to go over the sports movies from the book that I've seen, and the ones I'm willing to see.

Seen:

#9 Caddyshack
#13 Pride of the Yankees
#16 Miracle
#21 When We Were Kings
#26 Major League
#49 Bend It Like Beckham
#51 The Karate Kid
#62 Invincible
#75 The Express
#77 Happy Gilmore
#82 The Sandlot
#87 Glory Road
#97 Cool Runnings

Willing to See:

#2 Hoosiers
#4 The Natural
#11 Field of Dreams
#14 Hoop Dreams
#15 Brian's Song
#16 Chariots of Fire*
#19 Remember the Titans
#20 Breaking Away
#22 A League Of Their Own
#34 The Rookie
#36 Heart Like A Wheel
#37 Jim Thorpe; All-American
#43 Murderball
#53 Without Limits
#57 Rudy
#70 We Are Marshall
#71 Damn Yankees
#80 Searching For Bobby Fischer
#83 The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
#86 Best In Show
#93 Lagaan: Once Upon A Time In India
#100 The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh

The asterisk by Chariots of Fire is that I did catch part of it on television once, and it was really boring. They mentioned that part as boring in the book, so maybe I just needed a little more patience.

Biggest disagreement: I did not like Caddyshack at all.

I know there are a lot of people who love it, but apathetic/obnoxious rich people triumphing over snooty rich people is not a great victory for me. It's nice the kid gets a scholarship. 

Perhaps it makes sense that my favorite part is the gopher, and that was their least favorite part. We just have different viewpoints.

One area of disagreement I understand is that often a movie's rating included how good the sports footage was. I get the sentiment, but that in itself is a good reason for Caddyshack to be ranked lower. That also led to...

Greatest Impact: I am more interested in seeing some movies now because of the sports action being praised.

There are a lot of these that I have never been against seeing (Hoosiers, Remember The Titans, We Are Marshall) and at least one (Brian's Song) that I have tried to see, but scheduling didn't work out. I am more interested in Heart Like A Wheel and The Natural -- both of which I knew existed -- based on the praise given.

Second Greatest Impact: I had never heard of Hank Greenberg before. He sounds interesting, but also I guess it was not just Sandy Koufax in that leaflet on Jewish Sports Heroes! (Airplane! reference.)

I would totally read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Jewish-Sports-Legends-International-Hall/dp/1496201884

Greatest Need to Revisit: They got way different things out of The Express than I did. 

Now, our sensibilities have already proven to be different enough that any subsequent differences of opinion may simply relate to that, but I think it is worth re-watching.

Not included: I went through the table of contents and thought about movies that I had seen that were not there. Dodgeball and Blades of Glory were mentioned (in "Guilty Pleasures" and in reference to Will Farrell related to Talladega Nights) but there was nothing about The Blind Side.

That movie came out in 2009, so may have just been a timing issue. I could imagine them finding that the football action wasn't that great. 

I read all three related books after seeing the movie: one by Michael Oher, one by Leigh Anne Tuohy, and The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. Lewis's book combines the stories of the people with changes in football where large, agile players became so valuable. That is barely covered in the movie, except at the beginning with Joe Theismann's career-ending leg injury.

I found those sections of the book fascinating but knew I was not getting enough out of it. My sisters skipped those passages over. Okay, everyone has their own interests. On that note...

Most Glaring Omission: Touching the Void (2003)

Look, if there is room for movies about golf, bowling, dog shows, poker, and chess (and room to call figure skating barely a sport!), then this documentary about mountain climbing that is gripping and suspenseful, giving you a feel for the activity and its appeal but also being terrifying... seriously, how did they miss that? Because there are no playoffs?

Appreciated: They explained the artistic license used in Cool Runnings. They did with Glory Road too, but I remember seeing a few articles on the movie at the time, and also there is a book (though not easy to find). With Cool Runnings, while I was sure there was a lot that was made up, there was no easy way of guessing what was what.

Long story short: two investors witnessed the annual pushcart derby, recruited the winner and three soldiers, and gave them a good coach and training in Canada. More plausible, less dramatic. 

While the first Jamaican bobsled team performed poorly at the Olympics, they were very popular and treated well, and souvenir T-shirt sales made it sustainable. Not as dramatic as contempt from Germans and a disgraced coach, but perhaps it reflects better on humanity.

In conclusion: While I did not love the read, I might have enough love for sports and movies that after I do get through my sports reading list (which will not be any time soon), I will re-read this and see if I have changed my mind about any of the movies.

But I will not change my mind about Caddyshack.

Crystal Ball

Recently I was thinking about a certain relationship and wondering about its future. The impression came to me that nothing was going to happen for another five years.

I do not think that five years is an exact prediction, but more an indicator that it is not the immediate future.

Though initially discouraging, it was also freeing: don't worry about it for now.

There are two connected ideas that I will share.

I think the reason that the time period I felt was "five years" is because I have some other five year plan things going on. That partially comes from job interview questions. 

I have some 5 year goals related to study and things. One is that in 2027 I want to take the MCAT, LSAT and GMAT.

Yes, that is a vanity thing, and to the tune of about $900, but I want to know how I would do. I have in mind that part of that will be a major aptitude test, where perhaps it gives the next phase of my life some direction.

Sure, when I had that ten year plan it was shot to pieces, but you can't stop having plans just because life doesn't obey them.

(I cannot imagine any GMAT score that would motivate me to get an MBA, but the other two potential courses of study do have some appeal.)

The other thought is more about a change in mindset.

In the past, whenever I had something in the future the goal was always to lose weight by then, that being the magic bullet.

That is not actually a good goal, in terms of feasibility or mental health or even physical health, which raises the question of what is a good goal? 

How do I want to be different in five years?

I do have some thoughts there.

Certainly the way I annoy myself the most now is procrastination. I can also see that sometimes when I do that, I have hangups that I am avoiding dealing with. I would like to see improvement there. I do better sometimes, but there is room for more consistency.

In addition, I can see that one frequent obstacle is that sometimes I really need to ask for help but I do not want to. I have made some progress here, but there is room for more.

Which I guess means that my real goal is to continue in the direction I am headed, but maybe faster since there is more clarity.

Finally, in terms of goals that are good for health... as impossible as it seems to have really good health while I am working in a call center, for the next five weeks I will be in training, and I have a vacation a week after that.

This is as good a time as any to try and take better care of myself. The stress will come back, but maybe I can rearrange some things before it does, and maybe that will help.

That's where I'm at.

Hispanic Heritage Month 2022 songs

Reminder that Fridays will now feature posts on books, movies and music, starting with music.

Most recently, I have posted about combining Black Music Month with Pride Month to focus on queer Black musicians in June, and then continuing my focus on individual years of the 80s.

https://sporkful.blogspot.com/2022/07/black-music-month-pride-month.html

https://sporkful.blogspot.com/2022/08/musical-interlude.html

During that time I was also doing Black Music Month reading (which I haven't actually finished yet) but it got me thinking about Motown, especially.

Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15th (the anniversary of the Grito de Dolores) through October 15th, and then Native American Heritage Month is in November. I was thinking that between the two, I would do Motown songs. Halloween would be "Supertition" by Stevie Wonder.  

It did not work out that way.

It's been a while since I have had time to do regular reviews, but I can still generally listen to the top ten for various artists and choose a song.

My listening for this month started with a list of musicians mentioned by Sandra Cisneros in A House of My Own. That gave me 18 artists, and I assumed I was looking to fill about 30 days. 

Well, I had also read this book, Aztlan and Viet Nam: Chicano and Chicana Experiences of the War. It had a poem in the book that was kind of humorously comparing Californian and Texan tastes, but that gave me another 5 bands. 

(Actually it gave me 6, because I wrote down the name of a reporter, Ruben Salazar, but when I was pulling up the list I forgot that he was a reporter, not a musician. There is a musician with that name, and why not give him a song?)

Then I remembered that I had taken down some band names from The First Rule of Punk by Celia C Perez also. I had reviewed some of those bands when I was still doing reviews. That gave me another 4 bands, plus I got this flautist because there was a Google Doodle, and why not?

But then I started thinking about the bands I had reviewed or used for songs at other times, because I had encountered them some other way. I wanted to bring them in.

That is why, musically, Hispanic Heritage Month extended all the way through to October 31st. Carlos Santana's "Black Magic Woman" is kind of spooky, right?

Besides, I made last October super Halloween-themed.

That's the amazing thing, and I have written this before, but whatever I dive deep into, there is always more available. So there are more Halloween songs, or more songs in a certain genre, or more songs honoring a heritage. 

Yes, I need to periodically go back to my rock (and some of these songs were rock, but not all), but I never tire of finding things I did not know.

Speaking of that, one of the books read (for Hispanic Heritage Month, not Black Music Month) was Decoding Despacito: An Oral History of Latin Music by Leila Cobo. There is a lot to listen to from that, but I need to go back to it later, after I have listened to other things. It pulls from a lot of genres I am unfamiliar with, and so I was not able to get as much out of it as was offered. 

As far as that goes, I could know more about all of these artists. Going through ten songs once and picking a song is nowhere near the understanding you get after going through the entire catalog three times.

There is always more, but in general I like it that way.

The star of the month ended up being former classmate Pablo Ojeda: showing up four times, as himself and as part of Toque Libre, Sabroso, and Rubberneck.
