It's Usually Koyaanisqatsi It's usually Koyaanisqatsi when you can't figure out what else it is. When you can't understand what they are trying to tell you. When their complaints are so vague and elusive you wonder why anyone would bother to complain.... "Steve, why don't Americans drink more red wine? I just don't understand..." That's Koyaanisquati. Didn't have a word for it until I saw the movie. And behind the bar I have many words. Words which send the smell of licorice or raspberries out across the room. Speedrack words where I can get at them quick. Premium back-bar words up on display behind me. Doghouse words down below the speedrack, that I don't use much. I even have words when I run out of words which I have to go down to the cellar to bring up. Empty bottle words, beer bottle words, Moet et Chandon words, words mostly women like, words liked by men. Sweet words, strong words. Words of different proof. German, French and Italian words. Words which resemble something they are not. Words which resemble nothing at all. But I didn't have Koyaanisqatsi until I saw the movie. Most bartenders know it though, some nights you hardly see anything else. Stephen Williamson |
