The Sweethearts Rolling Rink

In the autumn of 1972 Florida native Bill Yates was finishing up his final year of college studying photography. During this time he shot over 800 images at The Sweethearts Rolling Rink - enough to gain him admission to the graduate photography program at the Rhode Island School of Design. The negatives + proof sheets went into a box where they stayed for over 30 years, until resurfacing recently in a series of solo shows.

Crude Mission

I just heard that the first crude mission to the Moon since the seventies will happen shortly. I just wonder what the crude part of it meant.

Maybe they’ll be using crude oil. Now that Iran is blocking a lot of crude oil in the Strait of Hormuz, of course the US would use up a lot more in a space mission.

Maybe they’ll be using even cruder methods. Perhaps they’ll pull back a giant elastic with a giant Chevy truck and let go when the ship is aligned inside just right.

Maybe it’ll be even cruder. They might build a giant cannon (just like they did in one of Jules Verne’s books), with the cannonball being the ship.

Maybe it’ll be cruder. Perhaps some cavemen will throw a bone in the air and miraculously it’ll turn into a spaceship.

Maybe it will be crude because they won’t send anything special for when they meet up with moon people. No language programs, no interpreters, no gifts of frankincense, gold and myrrh.

Maybe it’ll be crude because it will be done by the USA and they have no regal royalty. Shut up Donald Rump, you have to be born into it for it to count.

Maybe it’ll be crude in that they will be using foul language. “F’n Ground Control this is F’n Major Tom. What $#!+ are you talking about today?”

Maybe it’ll be crude in that they aren’t sending up much water. In other words, the ship will have to recycle the astronauts urine.

Maybe it’ll be crude because the astronauts won’t be decent unless they do a space walk.

And what was crude about the seventies missions​?

Then again I herd this. So perhaps it is a crewed mission that hasn’t been to the moon since the seventies. That might be slightly more likely.

Nothing Seems to Matter

One of three songs written by Bonnie Raitt for her 2nd album Give It Up released in 1972. Here, she performs the song in 1977
