In Honor Of…
The DJ Reverend Kathy Russell
(first draft)
Serendipity showed me this DJ spinning something sweet,
She called herself The DJ Reverend Kathy Russell.
I called her The Reverend of The Church of Sound.
(with the Church, a Dance Hall, and the Sound, the Meaning)
She’s the Spiritual Leader in this House of Worship,
and…damn, can she get this House Worshipping!
Worshipping by hopping and bopping, plus all kinds of moving.
Not only for the Beats that she doth Preach -
but for the Shake of her Neon-Soul – her Electric-Shimmy-Grooving.
…and …damn, don’t get me started on the way this girl moves,
when she spins, I think, Fuck! That’s Seductive!
She’s this Ball of Constant Energy Unwinding –
this Kinetic Force, this Radiating Force –
Forcefully Radiating, her energy becomes
a Contagion – where she becomes the Patient Zero -
of the virus known as Beat.
A virus that spreads indiscriminately throughout the dance-floor,
and depending on your tolerance,
or depending on your susceptibility,
will determine its success…
Yes it is a virus – and she is our Patient Zero…
…No, no, virus is an ugly word to depict something so Beautiful.
This is Non-Denominational Religion,
This is Belief in the Sound,
This is Belief in only what is Sound.
And this is a DJ who has earned the title:
The DJ Reverend Kathy Russell…
