The city of Palm Bay, Florida has contracted to clear overgrown lots in the city, an action welcomed by area residents worried about the lots being a fire hazard after last May's devastating brush fires. I edited this piece from video shot by Christina Stuart and Michael Brown. Check out some of my music videos and other fun stuff at www.youtube.com/djbuddylove3000.

"Are we all global village idiots whom television has reduced to voyeurism, or has television so deadened us to catastrophe that we can't tell a real crisis from a fictional one?"In this song, one that conjures up images of a modern-day Atlantis, Dylan and Levy weave a tale containing a colourful cast of characters, including a suicidal Greek man, a compulsive gambler, and more than a handful of highly self-confident other major players. Here, the cast of characters, in their blissful ignorance and delusions of grandeur, are swept under by a natural disaster that, from all accounts, seems to have been a long time coming. The vast majority of this song takes place on "ground zero" for the catastrophic event, but in the end, takes a surprising turn. Again, Dylan, known for his lyrical "sleight of hand", radically changes the perspective on the listener, giving a whole new twist to the tale. At the same time, however, the apathy found in the last verse can be shrewdly threaded directly to those other instances found throughout the story. Lyrics:Up on the white verandaShe wears a necktie and a Panama hatHer passport shows another faceFrom another time and placeShe looks nothing like thatAnd all the remnants of her recent pastAre scattered in the wild windShe walks across the marble floorWhere a voice from the gambling room is calling her to come on inShe smiles, walks the other wayAs the last ship sails and the moon fades awayFrom Black Diamond Bay.As the morning light breaks open the Greek comes downAnd he asks for a rope and a pen that will write"Pardon monsieur" the desk clerk saysCarefully removes his fez"Am I hearing you right ?"And as the yellow fog is liftingThe Greek is quickly heading for the second floorShe passes him on the spiral staircaseThinking he's the Sovjet AmbassadorShe starts to speak, but he walks awayAs the storm clouds rise and the palm branches awayOn Black Diamond Bay.A soldier sits beneath the fanDoing business with a tiny man who sells him a ringLightning strikes, the light blow outThe desk clerk wakes and begins to shout"Can you see anything ?"Then the Greek appears on the second floorIn his bare feet with a rope around his neckWhile a loser in the gambling room lights up a candleSays "Open up another deck"But the dealer say "Attendez-vous, s'il vous pl it"As the rain beats down and the cranes fly awayFrom Black Diamond Bay.The desk clerk heard the woman laughAs he looked around the aftermath and the soldier got toughHe tried to grab the woman's handSaid, "Here's a ring it cost a grand"She said, "That ain't enough"Then she ran upstairs to pack her bagsWhile a horse-drawn taxi waited at the curbShe passed the door that the Greek had lockedWhere a handwritten sign read, "Do not disturb"She knocked on it anywayAs the sun went down and the music did playOn Black Diamond Bay."I've got to talk to someone quick !"But the Greek said, "Go away" and he kicked the chair to the floorHe hung there from the chandelierShe cried, "Help there's danger nearPlease open op the door"Then the volcano eruptedAnd the lava flowed down from the mountain high aboveThe soldier and the tiny man were crouched in the cornerThinking of forbidden loveBut the desk clerk said "It happens every day"As the stars fell down and the fields burned awayOn Black Diamond Bay.As the island slowly sankThe loser finally broke the bank in the gambling roomThe dealer said "It's too late now You can take you money, but I don't know howYou'll spend it in the tomb"The tiny man bit the soldier's earAs the floor caved in and the boiler in the basemen blewWhile she's out on the balcony where a stranger tell her"My darling je vous aime beacoup"She sheds a tear and then begins to prayAs the fire burns on and the smoke drifts awayFrom Black Diamond Bay.I was siting home alone one night in LAWatching old Cronkite on the seven o'clock newsIt seems there was an earthquake thatLeft nothing but a Panama hatAnd a pair of old Greek shoesDidn't seem like much was happeningSo I turned it off and went to grab another beerSeems like every time you turn aroundThere's another hard-luck story that you're gonna hearAnd there's really nothing anyone can sayAnd I never did plan to go anywayTo Black Diamond Bay.

Bob Dylan - Black Diamond BayCopyright - 1976 Columbia RecordsAs described by Heylin, the "Black Diamond Bay" describes the destruction of a tiny island, observed from two perspectives: from a hotel on the island itself and from the narrator's point of view through a television news report. The song essentially describes what the people on the island at the time do with the time that they have left when they realize that they are about to die. The various characters tend to fend for themselves, panic, and in one case commit suicide, rather than collaborating to find a way to save each other. The song also describes the news-watcher's indifference to the catastrophes he hears about on TV, as the narrator goes to get another beer rather than watch the news story about the catastrophe on the island. He says "I never did plan to go anyway to Black Diamond Bay." Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness was a major influence to this song, which references many of its themes. The song title, the island, the volcano, the gambling, and the Panama hat are all references to Joseph Conrad's Victory, which seems to be more of an influence than Heart of Darkness.Lyrics:Up on the white verandaShe wears a necktie and a Panama hat.Her passport shows a faceFrom another time and placeShe looks nothin' like that.And all the remnants of her recent pastAre scattered in the wild wind.She walks across the marble floorWhere a voice from the gambling room is callin' her to come on in.She smiles, walks the other wayAs the last ship sails and the moon fades awayFrom Black Diamond Bay.As the mornin' light breaks open, the Greek comes downAnd he asks for a rope and a pen that will write."Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,Carefully removes his fez,"Am I hearin' you right?"And as the yellow fog is liftin'The Greek is quickly headin' for the second floor.She passes him on the spiral staircaseThinkin' he's the Soviet Ambassador,She starts to speak, but he walks awayAs the storm clouds rise and the palm branches swayOn Black Diamond Bay.A soldier sits beneath the fanDoin' business with a tiny man who sells him a ring.Lightning strikes, the lights blow out.The desk clerk wakes and begins to shout,"Can you see anything?"Then the Greek appears on the second floorIn his bare feet with a rope around his neck,While a loser in the gambling room lights up a candle,Says, "Open up another deck."But the dealer says, "Attendez-vous, s'il vous plait,''As the rain beats down and the cranes fly awayFrom Black Diamond Bay.The desk clerk heard the woman laughAs he looked around the aftermath and the soldier got tough.He tried to grab the woman's hand,Said, "Here's a ring, it cost a grand."She said, "That ain't enough."Then she ran upstairs to pack her bagsWhile a horse-drawn taxi waited at the curb.She passed the door that the Greek had locked,Where a handwritten sign read, "Do Not Disturb."She knocked upon it anywayAs the sun went down and the music did playOn Black Diamond Bay."I've got to talk to someone quick!"But the Greek said, "Go away," and he kicked the chair to the floor.He hung there from the chandelier.She cried, "Help, there's danger nearPlease open up the door!"Then the volcano eruptedAnd the lava flowed down from the mountain high above.The soldier and the tiny man were crouched in the cornerThinking of forbidden love.But the desk clerk said, "It happens every day,"As the stars fell down and the fields burned awayOn Black Diamond Bay.As the island slowly sankThe loser finally broke the bank in the gambling room.The dealer said, "It's too late now.You can take your money, but I don't know howYou'll spend it in the tomb."The tiny man bit the soldier's earAs the floor caved in and the boiler in the basement blew,While she's out on the balcony, where a stranger tells her,"My darling, je vous aime beaucoup."She sheds a tear and then begins to prayAs the fire burns on and the smoke drifts awayFrom Black Diamond Bay.I was sittin' home alone one night in L.A.,Watchin' old Cronkite on the seven o'clock news.It seems there was an earthquake thatLeft nothin' but a Panama hatAnd a pair of old Greek shoes.Didn't seem like much was happenin',So I turned it off and went to grab another beer.Seems like every time you turn aroundThere's another hard-luck story that you're gonna hearAnd there's really nothin' anyone can sayAnd I never did plan to go anywayTo Black Diamond Bay.
