John Prine “Picture Show (video)<\/a><\/p>\n

These\u00c2\u00a0are\u00c2\u00a0the lines I would use to address\u00c2\u00a0Sontag’s comments\u00c2\u00a0regarding photography as a “tool of power” in her essay.<\/p>\n

“A Mocca man in a wigwam sitting on a reservation.
\nWith a big black hole in the belly of his soul
\nWaiting on an explanation
\nWhile the white man sits on his fat can
\nAnd takes pictures of the Navajo
\nEvery time he clicks his Kodak pics
\nHe steals a little bit of soul.
\nEvery time he clicks his Kodak pics
\nHe steals a little bit of soul.”<\/em><\/p>\n

I hope you like Old School\u00c2\u00a0(Do any of you know who James Dean was?)<\/p>\n

Picture Show<\/strong><\/p>\n

A young man from a small town
\nWith a very large imagination
\nLay alone in his room with his radio on
\nLooking for another station
\nWhen the static from the mouthpiece
\nGave way to the sound below
\nJames Dean went out to Hollywood
\nAnd put his picture in a Picture Show.
\nJames Dean went out to Hollywood
\nAnd put his picture in a Picture Show.<\/p>\n

Chorus:<\/strong><\/p>\n

And it’s Oh Daddy get off of your knees
\nMamma why’d you have to go
\nYour darling Jim is out a limb
\nI put my picture in a Picture Show
\nWhoa Ho! Put my picture in a Picture Show<\/p>\n

Hamburgers Cheeseburgers
\nWilbur and Orville Wright
\nJohn Garfield in the afternoon
\nMontgomery Clift\u00c2\u00a0at night
\nWhen the static hit the mouthpiece
\nGave way to the sound below
\nJames Dean went out to Hollywood
\nAnd put his picture in a Picture Show.<\/p>\n

Repeat Chorus:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Mocca man in a wigwam sitting on a reservation.
\nWith a big black hole in the belly of his soul
\nWaiting on an explanation
\nWhile the white man sits on his fat can
\nAnd takes pictures of the Navajo
\nEvery time he clicks his Kodak pics
\nHe steals a little bit of soul.
\nEvery time he clicks his Kodak pics
\nHe steals a little bit of soul.<\/p>\n

Repeat Chorus:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yie Hi! Put my picture in a Picture Show
\nHere we go!
\nA young man from a small town
\nWith a very large imagination…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
