  1. #SanJacinto by #PeterGabriel, 1982

    "Thick cloud, steam rising
    Hissing stone on sweat lodge fire
    Around me, buffalo roam
    Sage in bundle, rub on skin

    Outside, cold air
    Stand, and wait for rising sun
    Red paint, eagle feathers
    Coyote calling, it has begun

    Something moving in, I taste it in my mouth
    And in my heart
    It feels like dying, slow
    Letting go of life

    (Hyena wakan tanka)
    (Hyena wakan tanka)
    (Hyena wakan tanka)
    (Hyena wakan tanka)

    Medicine man lead me up though town
    Indian ground, so far down
    Cut up land, each house, a pool
    Kids wearing water wings, drink in cool

    Follow dry river bed, watch Scout and Guides
    Make pow-wow signs
    Past Geronimo's disco
    Sittin' Bull steakhouse, white men dream

    A rattle in the old man's sack, see
    Look at mountain top, keep climbing up
    Way above us the desert snow
    White wind blow

    I hold the line
    The line of strength that pulls me through the fear
    San Jacinto
    I hold the line
    San Jacinto
    The poison bite and darkness take my sight
    I hold the line
    And the tears roll down my swollen cheek
    Think I'm losing it, getting weaker

    I hold the line!
    I hold the line!
    San Jacinto
    Yellow eagle flies down from the sun
    From the sun

    We will walk, on the land
    We will breathe, of the air
    We will drink, from the stream
    We will live, hold the line
    Hold the line
    Hold the line
    Hold the line."

    "This song explores the contrast between the artificial world of Palm Springs and the Indian communities on the other side of the San Jacinto Mountains who have spiritual ties to the land. Gabriel told Uncut magazine April 2014 the song was written 'about the culture clash between Native America and present-day America.'"

    "The song explores the culture clash between #NativeAmericans and modern America, and features a Lakotan chant and a synthesized theme by Steve Reich."

  4. #Texas #ChemicalPlant #Explosion Forces School Evacuations, #ShelterInPlace Order

    By Jan Wesner Childs, November 8, 2023

    At a Glance

    - The plant is near #ShepherdTexas, about 50 miles northeast of #Houston.

    - Anyone within a one-mile radius was advised to shelter in place.

    - Winds were blowing about 10 to 20 mph toward the northeast.

    "Diesel and flammable liquids were burning, KHOU-TV reported. The station cited Sound Resource Solutions president Geoff Harfield as saying the materials burning were not toxic, but a news release from neighboring Polk County noted records filed by the plant indicate it has housed turpentine, sulfuric acid, xylene and other chemicals 'known to have acute toxicity.'

    "Blowing toward Polk County, to the north of #SanJacinto. People there were told to stay inside and turn off their HVAC systems. At least one public school there was evacuated and others were sheltering in place."
