“Tough times demand tough talk, Demand tough hearts demand tough songs, Demand...”

Force Ten: Rush, Hold Your Fire

 

This is the intro song to Rush’s Hold Your Fire Album, and actually the first song that I ever heard Rush perform live. The album had a very strong attention to corporations, nature and spirituality- and this song seemed to bring them all into one.

 

As with every Rush song the instrumentals on the song is perfect as always- this song opens with sounds like I imagine one would hear when your reach (the Hollywood version of…) Heaven. I love their use of different styles all within this song. That opened my eyes to see the possibilities within music to know that my own composition ideas were not too far off in left field!

 

*** Artist Notes ***

Drawn by my hand- I’m a photographer and musician not a drawing man!

 

Lyrics:

Tough times demand tough talk

Demand tough hearts demand tough songs

Demand...

 

We can rise and fall like empires

Flow in and out like the tide

Be vain and smart, humble and dumb

We can hit and miss like pride

Just like pride

 

We can circle around like hurricanes

Dance and dream like lovers

Attack the day like birds of prey

Or scavengers under cover

 

Look in -- to the eye of the storm

Look out -- for the force without form

Look around -- at the sight and the sound

Look in look out look around...

 

We can move with savage grace

To the rhythms of the night

Cool and remote like dancing girls

In the heat of the beat and the lights

 

We can wear the rose of romance

An air of joie de vivre

Too-tender hearts upon our sleeves

Or skin as thick as thieves'

Thick as thieves'....

 

Tough times demand tough hearts

Demand tough songs demand...

 

Look into the eye of the storm...

Look out for the force without form

Look around at the sight and sound

Look in, look the storm in the eye

Look out for the sea and the sky

Look around at the sight and sound

Look in, look out, look around...

 

Tough times demand tough hearts

Tough times demand tough talk

"Daruma vs. Everybody" - Pencil and aquarelle on paper, 46 x 61 cm

Coincidentally, I married Christina who was in accord with these aspirations and visions. It was a kind of “my fair lady”/Pygmalion story of the person whose life would be reshaped and changed by a change in vocabulary, context and manners. I had already lost my Bronx accent by training for radio broadcasting, my taste in furniture and furnishings and culture was exquisitely European and contemporary Bauhaus. My sensibilities about private and personal possessions were tempered by emancipation from years of hanging drapes and putting on slipcovers to designing state of the art buildings and interiors.

Now, I was going to learn what makes architects tick. Take it apart, examine, and, reassemble it.

The first thing I did when reaching Yale was to try to introduce Gerald Popiel to key persons; and, I first met with Dr. Vincent Scully (history of architecture) who was so pleased that I had visited and sketched all of the major (and most minor) cities of Europe, and was interested in metaphors.

I had in mind to introduce Gerald to scholars at Yale. I knew that we must pursue the best minds.

He suggested I meet with Dr. Paul Weiss who may be able to help further my research in Metaphors and may be interested in Gerald’s work. Dr.Weiss and I hit it off so very well that he laid out a path of subjects and persons in the university for me to interview. Scholars especially conversant in syntax, grammar, and words.

So the scene was set for an exploration into the ideas and reasons why “form follows function”; and, why “Architecture is an Art”; and, “what makes one city, building and context different from another”.

The fact that I was an accomplished and professional draftsman, renderer and model maker distinguished me from the rest.

Each of my professors patiently spent hundreds hours with me to explain their particular theories and ideas. Peter Millard his four components of programs: conditions, operations, ideals and goals; Serge Chermayeff (then in his eighties) his theories of complementarities as I did the drafting to complete his grant/ study for university as towns for the department of transportation; assisting Henry (Hank) Pfisterer (engineer for the Empire State Building) learning engineering for indeterminate beams; Irving Kriesberg about how art is a metaphor; and the lectures and discussions with Louis Kahn, Buckminister Fuller, Mies van der Rohe, Phillip Johnson (he was my thesis "crit"); James Polcheck, James Sterling, Paul Rudolph, and dr. Charles Moore.

At Pratt I had an equally as impressive relationship with notable thinkers such as Sybil Maholy Nage, Otto Hula, Ara Ignatius, and others. And, while attending Pratt I made it my business to get to know Frederic Kiesler, the architect that designed the golden dome over the temple in Jerusalem. I worked in his shop on his molds.
