I was invited to participate at the Lyric show at
323East, and I had had a loose idea based on the song "Jonny Appleseed"
by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros. The chorus reads, "If you are out
there getting the honey, then you don't go killing all the bees." I've
always thought the song to be about workers rights, especially those in
agriculture and manufacturing, and that the the plea is to those who
benefit from those services without fully appreciating those who provide
them. I tried to depict a scene where a young, affluent woman clings to
what may have made status possible, and looks onward, unsure about the
setting sun and the drying farmland." - Casey Weldon
