Marlene On The Wall
Even if I am in love with you
All this to say, what's it to you?
Observe the blood, the rose tattoo
Of the fingerprints on me from you
Other evidence has shown
That you and I are still alone
We skirt around the danger zone
And don't talk about it later
Marlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
Of every soldier passing
But the only soldier now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
That I am changing
Marlene on the wall
I walk to your house in the afternoon
By the butcher shop with the sawdust strewn
"Don't give away the goods too soon"
Is what she might have told me
And I tried so hard to resist
When you held me in your handsome fist
And reminded me of the night we kissed
And of why I should be leaving
Marlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
Of every man who's been here
But the only one here now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
That I am changing
Marlene on the wall
Suzanne explaing the motivation to write the song:
"It was written for the actress Marlene Dietrich. That's the Marlene that I am talking about in this song. And the very first time that I ever saw Marlene Dietrich was one night when I was watching television, I was in my apartment sitting in the East Village in New York City which is where I'm from. So there I was and I turned on the TV set. It was one of those old sets that take a while to warm up. So I turned on the knob and you get the little tiny dot in the middle of the screen. And I hear this man's voice saying, "You have lead many men to death with your body." I was like "Alright!". because I didn't see anything, you know, I didn't know who the guy was, who he was talking to. And for a split second I had this fantasy, what if someone came to my door and said that to me? What would I say? And I thought that I would probably apologize. I would probably be like "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, are you sure it was me? It might have been so-and-so down the hall." So, I was curious to know what who ever he was talking to would say. Of course right then the picture came on and there's Marlene Dietrich's beautiful face in close-up. And her answer, of course, which is the only proper and logical one "Give me a kiss". So right from that moment I was just hooked. I watched the rest of the movie. I became a huge Marlene Dietrich fan. The photograph on the wall I'm singing about in the song, is one that someone had given me, back in the days when I was hanging out at Folk City. They gave it to me because they knew that I was a fan of her's. I had it framed and had it on my wall. The song is written from the point of view of the photograph of Marlene Dietrich looking down into my bedroom at that point when I was in my early twenties." *In concert: El Rey Theater, Los Angeles, CA, USA, November 20, 1996 (http://www.vega.net/elreytr96.htm) transcription by William C. Andrews

Kahlo also won praise from Kandinsky and Picasso. She had, however, conceived a violent dislike for what she called 'this bunch of coocoo lunatic sons of bitches of surrealists.' She did not renounce Surrealism immediately. in January 1940, for example, she was a participant (with Rivera) in the International Exhibition of Surrealism held in Mexico City. Later, she was to be vehement in her denials that she had ever been a true Surrealist.
"They thought I was a Surrealist,' she said, 'but I wasn't. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality."
Show us your favorite pair of shoes"
My favorite shoes! Got them back in 1988, they still fit and are in rather good shape. Though I hardly wear them any more, I cannot bear to give them away.
