Hope you can support us in finishing Finding the Funk!

““There’s forces that are going on that I don’t think a lot of motherfuckers that make music today are aware of,” he says. “It’s deep. I’ve felt it. I’ve felt other forces pulling at me.” He stubs out his cigarette and leans toward me, taking my hand. “This is a very powerful medium that we are involved in,” he says gravely. “I learned at an early age that what we were doing in the choir was just as important as the preacher. It was a ministry in itself. We could stir the pot, you know? The stage is our pulpit, and you can use all of that energy and that music and the lights and the colors and the sound. But you know, you’ve got to be careful.””

I remember I bought this album in 8th grade along with What’s Goin On by Marvin Gaye. I ended up listening to this one a lot more.

It’s unquenchable the pain you feel when you are watching a loved one drain of life. Unquenchable. I’ve been with my dad for the past year and half as the ALS progresses. It just hurts. It really just hurts. I’m not gonna get all rashashanah, wax poetic, edgar alan poe about it. It just hurts. And it’s a layered kind of thing. Peel back one thing and it’s another. He won’t ever meet my wife. Or my kids. I can’t ask him for fathering advice, what to do when i have to understand all the investments emotional and financial and spiritual that are coupled with contending in this American adulthood that he so masterfully maneuvered around as an immigrant activist from the Philippines. He was forced to leave after being blacklisted by the PI government for speaking out against the Marcos regime, snuck into the U.S. Navy, which although not an easy 20 years of service by any means that also included long days away in battleships and a stint in the Persian Gulf War , also provided an outlet for his making a living in this so called land of milk and honey. This was a service that although saved his life in a sense would also turn out to be the source of the disease that is currently working to take it away.

I’m not really prepared for this thing. I’m still not. Everyday is a sort of miracle. I gauge better what really is important in life. Friends, family, love, pictures, good memories, stories, smiles, laughter. Those are real fortunes. Maybe you already know what I’m talking about as anybody who may be here on tumblr at 3:30 in the pm is doing so because they are looking for the same exact things to like on the dashboard. It’s what we all want. And it really seems to me when we get to that point in life when there may not be much left it’s all we have left. I suppose we hear about it all the time but It’s really the truth. Someone to visit while you lay in a bed, hold your hand, kiss you and provide a mutual comfort and understanding in knowing that tomorrow never goddamn knows is what we are all working towards. I see now how tough my mother is, having to wear so many hats, not only as caretaker to the household but also as a pillar of strength to us all while having to prevent herself from completely breaking down whilst aiding her soul mate maintain a smile on his face. And dad always does. It’s so incredible how my dad is. He has always been a positive, pro active lover of life, no matter the struggle, no matter the truth. Even as the limbs he used to raise me up and strum his guitar or play his piano when we would get down gave out slowly day to day, even as the voice he so passionately used to teach lessons, articulate good spirits and sing to higher spirits began to decay slowly, the man could still appreciate his ability to do the two necessary things in life, laugh and smile. He can still do those two things today. And for that I am grateful.

The greatest lesson from him to me was always the action of service. Service to community, to family, to the achievement of unlocking any kind of perceivable joy in another and in yourself. It’s appropriate the award they named after him at his old work the Oakland VA clinic is titled the ‘Elviro Icban Perpetual Servant award’ He taught me this as we would play benefit concerts for homeless in Vallejo, disabled vets, all his coworkers at the VA hospital, birthdays, weddings, funerals. His legacy is music, something that I carry and will cherish with me the rest of my time here. If it wasn’t for my dad’s Doors, Hendrix and Beatles tapes I wouldn’t be me at all. I always tell my folks I love them now. Always, always. I never did. Now I do. Ain’t that some shit? If you love anybody, let’em know. Always, always.We always hear it, but it’s really important to fuckin do it.

On another note, people in medical business bureaucracies need to do better. So many loops and hassles and apathy and finger pointing and letter writing just to get sufficient care for my dad, a suffering human being who already did his duty to uncle goddamn sam…. That’s for another blog/rant tho.

Ok. I had to unload this all somewhere. I can’t carry it anymore. And i don’t want to lay all these heavy things on someone in person. I’ll break down all over the place and its always hard to present such a personal thing expecting complete understanding. Is this why therapists stay in business, why too friends stay your friends…or they don’t…? I better stop, I might go somewhere else.

Love, love. Babies making babies.
