Pippin AKA Peppina was a street cat I rescued in 1989 in Philadelphia. She moved to San Francisco with me in 1991. She never quite adjusted to domestication. That's putting it mildly. Friends called her "the cat from hell." She was a gentle loving kitty to me, but to anyone else who got in her way, forget it. There goes a limb. In this sequence, a friend tries to reach out to her, but with disastrous results. Bet you never saw a cat whack like that.
Pippin died in early February 2004. But her legend lives on!

October song
by Tommi Avicolli Mecca
c 1992
I'm going where the birds go
gonna follow the river
I'm flying past the morning
and I won't be back again
doesn't matter that I love you
there's nothing you can say
to keep me from the journey
that I have to take today
I'm going where the sun goes
setting course with the stars
seems I'm flying like souls do
when they don't come back again
I'm going where the birds go
when the sun's getting thin
I'm flying past the morning
and I won't come back again
I won't be back again

c'mon
by Tommi Avicolli Mecca
c 1992
c'mon and hold me like you'll never let me go
I need you badly it's never been so gray
I'm not asking for forever
I'm just asking for tonight
c'mon and love me like you'll never stop to breathe
I need you closer
than a man can ever be
I'm just looking for a moment
to try and save my life
times like this I'm only five again
searching for a tender word
to let me know you care
FIRST VERSE

NO FOOD TODAY
by Tommi Avicolli Mecca
c 2008
sorry we got no food today/ you best be on your way
theres no truck headed here/ its the same old story everywhere
I know you got some kids to feed/ everyones so much in need
never seen so much sorrow/ aint gonna go away tomorrow
BREAK: whats the matter with this old land/ that nobody
understands/ empty stomachs there should be a ban
sorry we got no meals for free/ not the way it used to be
food there was by the crate/ now the hungry oh they have to wait
maybe someday they will know/ that we suffered so much woe
just to keep our hunger sated/ in the economy they created
SILENT NIGHT
new lyrics by Tommi Avicolli Mecca
Silent night, holy night
all is calm, all is bright
round young homeless mother and child
hungry infant so tender and mild
sleep on Americas streets
sleep on Americas streets
Silent night, holy night
cops drag poor out of sight
fine them for asking for change on the street
just a few pennies for something to eat
jails are our homes for the poor
jails are our homes for the poor
Silent night, holy night
compassion reigns what is this light
people are there to give food to the poor
opening hearts to the ones who need more
all for one night of the year
only one night of the year
Silent night, holy night
one one stirs, ground is white
snow is falling on the city so clean
on the mother and child who are ever so lean
dead on Americas streets
dead on Americas streets

The peaceniks look at Columbus Day from the perspective of progressive Italian/Americans who are not cool with the conquistador's legacy. He didn't discover America, it was already discovered by millions of indigenous peoples. He sailed for Spain, not Italy (which wasn't even a country at the time). Etc. When Italians came here to flee poverty in the south of Italy (and 1500 years of colonialism), there were many radicals and anarchists among them, including Sacco and Vanzetti. Italian women organized in the garment industry and helped get rid of sweatshops. For us, it's a prouder legacy than Columbus.
The band is:
Tommi Avicolli Mecca, guitar/vocals
Diana Hartman: vocals
John Radogno: guitar

DO WOPPING WOPS
by Tommi Avicolli Mecca
c 2007
were the do wopping wops
and we gotta lotta things to say
(do wopping do do wopping)
the do wopping wops
we're gonna dump columbus today
(do wopping, etc.)
before you get agita
listen to what we convey
were tired of hearing
columbus is our hero too
he didnt represent us back in 1492
he stole all that land
and he killed indians its true
CHO: I'd rather know the names of the radicals who came labor leaders anarchists give a cheer for the laundry list
if we wanna celebrate
a day of italian pride
we dont need columbus
we gotta lot on our side
dont be a part of the
legacy of genocide
for 1500 years we labored
under the sun
everybodys prize we were living
just under the gun
so don't go asking us
to honor the conquering one
CHO
FIRST VERSE
the do wopping wops!
