come 2016

生活在中國!

come 2016

or 2015

or 2017

whenever china’s economy exceeds that of the united states

(the year disputed circa. 2016)

and there is no longer any dispute over

who will be calling the shots in the world

from there on out

one has to wonder---

having spent any time in america---

or more importantly/specifically

new orleans &

detroit city &

dallas &

pittsburg &

nyc &

kansas city &

atlanta &

chicago &

la---

will there be chinese james brown?

a new “hardest working man in show business”

whose tunes fill the ears of those new most important cities---

be it

hong kong off the mainland, or

shanghai, beijing, cheng du, hang zhou, qingdao,

xi’an,

taipei, dali, ningbo or

quangzhou---

will there be a new man who bearing the purest chinese soul,

pumping it out in

mandarin or cantonese?

will he be pop-locking as the most perfect popper

dancing the night away

please audience from one side of the globe to another

broadcasted in better-than-broadband (whatever comes next)---

from iphone to ipads to the next

most virtual replacement---

no doubt we will all be dancing with him

singing the new anthems of our age---

“�"�活在中國!”
