La Belle Fleur Sauvage (1989)

"I'll live yet to see him Regret the dark hour When he won, then neglected, The frail wildwood flower" - "Wildwood Flower," American folk song written by Maud Irving, best known as performed by Mother Maybelle Carter. [Epigraph from La Belle Fleur Sauvage] The fifth Strange Trails story is one of George Ranger Jonhson's most plain-cut romance novels. As he mentioned after the publication of Lullaby, he’d been wanting to write more “of tender things.”The story this time around comes to the patrons of George's Place from Remy Fusil, the Cajun Cowboy - a character who appears fairly little in the whole rest of GRJ's oeuvre, unless you believe certain theories of second identities (you'd be hard-pressed to find a character who doesn't have those!)

In retrospect, despite his seat in the hallowed pantheon of Strange Trails narrators, alongside such heavy-hitters as Frankie Lou and Buck Vernon, Fusil was a means to an end - that end being the introduction of Lee Green, who would play a major role in the whole rest of Johnson's works, develop from the sweet young flower of the Michigan woods she's portrayed as here, to, in the end of ends, that half-real eye-of-the-hurricane phantom haunting moonlit Mt. Monroe.

But we're getting two series ahead of ourselves. For now, in this book, GRJ deftly weaves together Remy and Lee's hesitant and, perhaps, a touch unreliably narrated romance, with the timeless legend of an unobtainable alpine flower - a legend that Remy swears is Cajun, but in other books we're told it might be Basque, or American folk. In other words, it's a story that comes from everywhere, and everyone. Maybe that's why this old tale's themes of obsessive pursuit ring through almost every page that GRJ ever set his pen to. Behind the kisses in the moonlight, there are always mountains unclimbable, withering flowers picked for ephemeral beauty once held, fools for love lying in the drifting snow, in the wind, lost in time and space, who'd give it all to pluck that fleur.

Oh yes, and we end with another cliffhanger. As Remy leans back in George's Place, having finished his tale of romance, he lights up a cigarette and a Bob Dylan tune comes on the jukebox. No one, he says, could ever challenge that his love was the purest. And then, to a galloping 4/4 beat, he hears footsteps approaching.

Lonesome Dreams - Lord Huron

[onepiexe]

had an insanely good day at work

[aturnoftheearth]

no one asked for my theories about lord huron 5 but i’m gonna give them anyway :D i think the fact that they spent an entire month celebrating lonesome dreams��� 10 year anniversary along with the attention to detail re: blurring george ranger johnson’s face on his website for long lost PLUS this post

which adds the tidbit about johnson’s radio show (compared to his website on the right) all points me towards believing a possible theme could be a follow up from lonesome dreams? but instead of the novels themselves it’s more of a focus on GRJ himself. especially if you’ve listened to their performance of the comedian; the comedian sounds like it’s written by someone who’s had stardom and lost it and (without spoiling it too much for those who don’t want to listen to it yet) the general vibe sounds like it could easily be from his point of view. we know so little about him other than his works, his brief appearance on AFWP as a guest on tubbs’ show, and his ownership of the broken bottle bar. which!!! is the bar that so much of long lost stems from!! tubbs discovering his first act (donny and midge) there and quentin king performing there and receiving the unfinished copy of setting sun (not to mention its appearances in AFWP and the twenty long years lyric video). also the bar is seen as derelict in episode 426, and that leaves so many questions!! did GRJ abandon it to pursue his writing? did he own it throughout his first novels only to abandon it when he reached stardom?

also a lot of people have theorized that because of the “your other life” music video cliffhanger of the Orbs™ and the Laser Gun™ we might see a future album consist of an extraterrestrial theme with a possible 80s vibe. and well. wouldn’t an album focused on GRJ’s radio show- which consists of his favorite songs (which very much could be from the 80s), unexplained phenomena, and questions of extraterrestrial life- fit that narrative?

Hey there! I'd love it if you could do a few shots of the start of this scene, mainly lf Caitlyn's and Marcus's confrontation. Please? I'd appreciate it, I feel this is an underappreciated scene with the two and so telling of the desperate effort of Marcus to keep his power together.

Hey again, yeap. I'll choose the scenes since the clip is long. It's on my to do list.

grj "ridge"

grj (neuter noun; obl.sg. grjj, nom-acc.pl. grjj, obl.pl. grjs)

ridge, line of protrusion in a surface

sand dune, especially formed naturally

levee, especially deposited by the Nile flood

dorsal fin of a fish

Derivatives:

grj- (v) "to crest a ridge, dune, hill"

grs- (v) "to form, of sand dunes (always intr.)"

Etymology: related to Sattuni kárr ~ karrís "peak", Ašarite gurraš "mountain", ultimately from PIE *gʷórH- "mountain", but the details of the Proto-Sattunic form are unclear. Sattuni and Ašarite together seem to point to a root noun *gʷórrəs ~ *gʷərrés (thematised in Ašarite) but this would not give a Shasite form with a persistent j in the noun and denominal verb, but missing from the fientive verb.

Fool For Love (1989)

The next day was hanging day, the sky was overcast and black Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't even blink The hanging judge was sober, he hadn't had a drink The only person on the scene missing was the Jack of Hearts — Bob Dylan, "Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts"

Seems like the cover artist was a bit nostalgic for the Lonesome Dreams era with that art, eh? In fairness, so was GRJ; those of us who look into such things have noted that Fool For Love is probably the biggest throwback of the Strange Trails novels, and the most "western" of this more modern (well, at the very least, firmly twentieth-century-set, if a couple decades back) series. Not too surprising, then, that we get the most extravagant depiction of George's Place as a "western" bar, and Either Buck Vernon or Remy Fusil (more likely, given the etymology of his name) with a pistol that doesn't actually figure into the story.

Ironically, this is one of the few Strange Trails stories that isn't a throwback in some sense, in that it's not a story in flashback. No, this one takes place on the very night that all the previous novels have been told as stories, and it marks the point where the night really goes off the rails.

... Or maybe it doesn't, because maybe it's not connected to the canon at all. Right at the beginning of this one, Buck Vernon, our narrator once more, admits to the reader that "sometimes, I see things that others say they cain't. I don't think that makes 'em unreal, but may well be I'm watching like through the window in the dark at the bottom of a broken bottle, seeing my other lives." That's as close to a fourth wall break as you'll get directly from GRJ in any story, here disguised as a fifth or sixth wall break, shattering layers of reality beyond the simple biniverse of story-truth that we all pass through without thinking on when we pick up a musty paperback. This before he tells a whole story using names that weren't in the bar up until then, and a lover named Lily who sounds almost, but not quite, like lovely Lee, whose story was just told. Li-Lee? Objectively, before we really get going, we do know that Buck came out to spin some tunes for the crowd at George's, that the set's done now and he's sitting back having a few too many while Dylan plays on the jukebox - that very tune in the epigraph is the one described, and it's notable that in the story Buck narrates in real-time, names of characters come into play.

The WBUB special based on this book didn't help with the character confusion either. Don't judge the book by the adaptation, obviously. That's always the rule.

A young fool (Buck himself, thinking he'll play the victorious Jack of Hearts in Dylan's tale?) psyches himself up and picks a fight with Big Jim (Remy Fusil?), lover of Lily. The World Enders, who are still hanging around, and the Tumbleweeds, who we're just meeting now but may be the descendants of Sri Tumbleweed's thugs from Time To Run, get caught up in things. The brawl spreads, chapter by chapter, to bring everyone in, even crashing into the Cambodian opium den behind George's which we only heard referenced in Love Like Ghosts. But things don't go well for our hopeless romantic Buck of Hearts. After a seeming escape from the chaos, Buck finds himself in a back alley where, well, spoilers, but there's a reason that the rest of the Strange Trails stories, especially Buck's, run evermore fantastically through that deep dark wooded valley between the ridges of death and life.
