NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT [Episode #388 ~ 03-16-24]

Pictured: Moondog.
A blind man on the streets of New York is vulnerable, and Moondog was fortunate to survive intact for so long. Only minor pilfering and occasional brushes with the law blemished his performances around town; the day-to-day events of his life changed little, sometimes for years. Within the chaos around him he could hear the ephemeral melody when it came, and he often had to stop whatever he was doing to capture it in Braille, or it was “almost impossible to retrieve it without its sounding strained.” Back on the streets during winter 1970–71, with irregular stints in friends’ apartments, he was still the Viking, and the famous and the obscure engaged him at his station. Yet the same aura that made him nearly invulnerable to illness or gratuitous violence also gave his readings of people a charming disingenuousness. As customers passed, Moondog greeted warmly and argued heatedly, but all were equal to his ears: in his blindness he did not distinguish the importance of a voice, only its quality.
— Robert Scotto, Moondog, the Viking of 6th Avenue.
