Crosses, Cats and Other Things

There is a direct correlation between the low price of consumer goods and the disastrous state of our planet. I want to pay more.

John Weinel’s resume includes the roles of Bill in Jonathan Dove’s Flight, Lysander in Britten’s A Midsummer

Night’s Dream, Alfred in Die Fledermaus, Belfiore in La Finta Giardiniera, and the Prince in The Love for Three Oranges, all performed at Moores Opera

Center. His interest in contemporary works led him to the world premiere of Christopher Theophanides’ Thirteen Clocks in which he sang the role of Prince Zorn. He appeared at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts as Colin in Le Divin du Village and portrayed Nanki-Poo in The Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Houston’s international award-winning production of The Mikado in Buxton, England. He was tenor soloist in Handel’s Messiah with the Woodlands Symphony, and has sung the title role in Britten’s cantata, Saint Nicholas.

Fornification under the King’s Consent by a cat no less

n a long and lonesome highway 
East of Omaha 
You can listen to the engine 
Moanin’ out his one note song 
You can think about the woman 
Or the girl you knew the night before 
But your thoughts will soon be wandering 
The way they always do 
When you’re ridin’ sixteen hours 
And there’s nothin’ much to do 
And you don’t feel much like ridin’, 
You just wish the trip was through 

Here I am 
On the road again 
There I am 
Up on the stage 
Here I go 
Playin’ star again 
There I go 
Turn the page 

Well you walk into a restaurant, 
Strung out from the road 
And you feel the eyes upon you 
As you’re shakin’ off the cold 
You pretend it doesn’t bother you 
But you just want to explode 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bob+seger/turn+the+page_20021931.html ] 
Most times you can’t hear ‘em talk, 
Other times you can 
All the same old cliches, 
“Is that a woman or a man?” 
And you always seem outnumbered, 
You don’t dare make a stand 

Here I am 
On the road again 
There I am 
Up on the stage 
Here I go 
Playin’ star again 
There I go 
Turn the page 

Out there in the spotlight 
You’re a million miles away 
Every ounce of energy 
You try to give away 
As the sweat pours out your body 
Like the music that you play 

Later in the evening 
As you lie awake in bed 
With the echoes from the amplifiers 
Ringin’ in your head 
You smoke the day’s last cigarette, 
Rememberin’ what she said 

Here I am 
On the road again 
There I am 
Up on the stage 
Here I go 
Playin’ star again 
There I go 
Turn the page 
Here I am 
On the road again 
There I am 
Up on the stage 
Here I go 
Playin’ star again 
There I go 
Turn the page 
There I go 
There I go
