Paul McCartney at Miller Park
tonight
Thanks to Marquette University I got another 10 minutes of fame. Last night I wrote about the trial and rally and today there was an article in the local newspaper about the trial and rally ”For longtime protester, the message is worth the fine”. There was an article in National Catholic Reporter about the same event: . Together with my posting last night, After Trespassing Trial, What is Next, I sent an email under my yahoo email address and included a copy to myself. It seemed to disappear. I sent the same email under one of my nonviolentcow.org emails and I think it got out.
Tonight we went to a Paul McCartney concert at a sold out Miller Park. Pat, my wife, thought the concert was ‘incredible’ and a high energy tour back to the 60’s and 70’s. I thought it was good but all the people, sound and lights left me numb and somewhat distracted, even when my favorite song, “Let It Be” was played. Real fans of the music know the words so they can hear through the very loud playing of the instruments. Overall it was a spectacular show and I am glad I went with my wife, Pat, who found it sensational.
I recently found out that I had hearing problem, much like by dad who was exposed to a lot of noise at work. The only thing is that I have never been exposed to loud noise on a consistent basis. I can hear deeply spoken words and slow music were the words are predominant. But loud noises and overwhelming sights seem to numb my senses.
I did hear the insults the Marquette University spokesperson said about me in the media. He offered no evidence for his allegations and Marquette refuses to make them know me. Now this hurts. Betrayal is hard for me to accept. I was raised to be loyal and even in the Society of Jesus, Jesuits, who operate Marquette University there is a deep sense of loyalty.
I wish I could fully hear Paul McCartney’s music and not listen to insults from Marquette.
