The
phrase talk is voodoo originated in our (mine and P.'s) teen years when we marvelled and mused over the differences between men and
women when it comes to the great teen past-time of talking,
or girltalking, to be more exact.
Anyway, P. asked the question - the very question - that chips
and indeed divides the sexes - creating a chasm that very seldom
can ever be rejoined... Ok, back to the question: "Terr, why
don't
men like to talk? Why don't they TALK?" to which I replied:
"Don't you KNOW that TALK is voodoo to men?" She nodded
in
a sudden hilarious epiphany and said: "Oh, my GOD, that's SO
f*^kin' funny!" We really never forgot that, even though many
years passed...
Now, getting back to the chasm that's SELDOM ever joined or
rejoined - well, Annie inspired us to reform the 'band' after a 17
or 18 year hiatus (yeah, pleez, don't do the math). Annie was planning
Steve's B-Day party and asked us to surprise him by jammin' with him
at the party. We practiced once and ran through 3 or 4 songs; at the
party our audience seemed strangely spellbound (maybe they we're dumbfounded?)
But we had a BLAST. Thereafter, the three of us started jammin and yeah,
from time to time we TALKED - 'GURLTALKED' even!
But Steve proved to us that - sometimes - to some men - talk is NOT
VooDoo!
