Matt’s New Poetry Blog

Beef Jerky Clouds
Hello Friends,

I just wanted to tell you about my new poetry blog. It’s called Beef Jerky Clouds. On our last tour I decided to give myself the challenge of writing an entirely new poem for each night during the “Poetry/Interpretive Dance” section of our shows. I got so used to writing a poem everyday that I started writing them even when we didn’t have shows. The day after a performance I would post the poems here along with a pic that I took. Click Here to see examples. The process turned out to be very therapeutic for me. So, for part of my New Year’s Resolution, I have decided launch a separate blog just for poems. I’m going to try to publish one a day. I’ll probably take a day off here and there. Hopefully, this will be interesting and even inspiring to some of you.Thanks for listening.

Love, Matt

New Video For the Song: Lot’s Wife

In the Bible, the wife of Lot is a figure first mentioned in Genesis 19. The Book of Genesis describes how she became a pillar of salt after she looked back at Sodom. She is called “Ado” or Ildith or “Edith” in some Jewish traditions, but is not named in the Bible. She is also referred to in the New Testament at Luke 17:32. – Wikapedia

I’ve had this idea for a while after noticing the incredible amount of very average looking churches in and about the suburban neighborhoods of Shawnee and Lenexa, Kansas. The second half of the video is an inspired homage to my favorite dancer, Nan, as well as some of the amazing local Kansas City burlesque that I’ve been lucky enough to witness at the now defunct Weirdo Wednesday’s Supper Club at Davey’s Uptown Ramblers Club in KC, MO. A special thanks goes to Damien Weber for the public domain footage hookup. -MMM
