In a statement noting the start of the holy days Sunday night with Hosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year 5746, and Yom Kippur, the Day Singer of Atonement 10 days later, Reagan said: "This is the most sacred time of the year in the Jewish tradition, and it is also a time when we are re­ minded of the depth of our nation's inheritance from that tradition." "The Jewish High Holy Days pro­ vide us all with an opportunity to reflect on our responsibilities to- ward God and our fellow man and to resolve to do better in the future in meeting those responsibilities than we have done in the past." He said the' holy days "also re­ minds us of the close and enduring relationship between the United States and Israel. Our two nations are Joined not by the fragile strands of temporary interests but rather by the deep bonds of our common values." The new year celebration begins with the blowing of a ram's horn, or shofar, and Reagan said, "As the shofar's call ushers in the new year, let us all pray that the values of this season will be reflected in our lives and in the creation of a world at peace." ed," he said. "Most folk performers *would be intimidated about follow- " ing her, but I find it a lot of fun to K follow a big act that puts out a lot of * energy. The audience is pumped." „ . >r Poet isn't limited to folk festivals. He aoes a lot of private functions playing for, of all people, IBM exec­ utives and advertising agencies. Currently Post is working on a «' Christmas Special for public televi- . sion called "Galena, Illinois, Wishes ' Merry Christmas to Galena on the * Yukon." The special includes guest performances by Tom Paxton (who . will be at the Woodstock Opera . House Sept. 28), John Hartford and ->* the Northern Lights. "It'll be shown !; ^ locally this year and probably be I * shown nationally next year," he said. I Post's songs often touch on the v . subject of ecology, the environment, its effect on man, and man's effect on it. The medium is humor even if the message isn't humorous. Sometimes the meaning gets lost * - in the laughter, Post said. "I was doing one of my songs, ' 'Brain Dajnage,' at the governor's \ mansion," he explained. "The gov- ernor came up here and he asked *• me if I'd sing for his re-election committee, and he said he wanted to !; hear the song about brain pollution. I said, 'Well, the song's about brain •' damage.' The song starts out sound­ ing like its about drugs -- he thought ; it was about drugs -- but it isn't about drugs at all. It's about how : you don't really have a choice about *" everything from the chemicals in ! your food and the dyes that are in I your food, to the stuff they spray on trees -- it's a very hysterical, funny song," he said- %>•:,./ . ; Post has written 11 albums worth of material, recorded on several small and independent labels. He •>.Zhas written songs he's trying to sell >> ta#|i|ftvvMe. "1 got a song I'm try- >*. ing to sell called 'Gonna go to Japan, * Geft-Good Old American Job.'" He > has also written a couple of success- . ful commercials. ** - "Pure brewed in God's country," , . he says with a pause. "That's my line. Little did I know," he says. Unfortunately, he didn't make any • money from that. "Either did the guy at the ad agency who claims he wrote it. so what the heck," he adds. 1 When he's not on the road, Post is I ' at his home practicing his act, tak- * ing in the sights and thinking of exotic low-calorie foods (here comes the part about the weird shredded I wheat recipe). "You know a great way to eat shredded wheat? I like to eat those bite-sized ones. You can flavor them 1. any way you want. You can have ; raspberry shredded wheat. All you - do is take raspberry jam, mix it in the milk, add the shredded wheat and you've got raspberry shredded •wheat," he exclaims, no doubt with : '-the same enthusiasm as the cave­ man who first discovered fire. "You can flavor it anyway you want. You could have shrimp shred­ ded wheat or mud shredded wheat." .Weird? You decide. <You want to know something else weird'" he asks. Why not? "My^cat' has a squirrel for a friend. It's the most idiotic thing you've ever seen. The thing chatters .in the window for the cat to come out. They run through the woods like they think they're in a Walt Disney movie. It's hysterical * the tat is weird and so is the squirrel." More reflections by Post: Do you consider youself grown up? "Never." Will you ever be grown up? "Right before I die." Are you ever serious? "Only when I lose my keys or my wallet." What do people do for excitement in Galena? "Entertainment is con­ versation. The bowling alley burnt down about three weeks ago, but it's good to get those people off the street anyway." Who are you're heroes? "Jimmy Carter, because he had the audacity to be so sincere; the guy who runs the grocery store in Elizabeth and the 70-year old mechanic in town. He won't sell his business because he wants to find someone who is re­ sponsible, who will lake care of his customers. And Pete Seeger, of course." Who do consider your nemeses? "Jerry Falwell. I^e wins hands down. No one is even close. He's spiritually bankrupt and a spiritual thief. George Bush also, he's up there. And Darrel Dawkins (the bas­ ketball player) because he won't grow up to be the great basketball player he could be. Moses Malone, too." Are you religious? "No, not at all. I think religon is the biggest folly there is. I do believe in God though. It's too much, too perfect for there, not to be a plan. I don't think anyone . knows what the plan is though. Air you have to do is believe and God will talk to you." Are you a sports fan? "I used to be addicted to watching football, but I kicked the habit. I like basketball." Whose your favorite team? "The winners. I like to see the Chicago and Milwaukee teams do well be­ cause the Midwest has lost a million jobs in the last five years. If some­ one can make them happy, yeah." What do you dislike? "The fact that large corporations don't pay taxes, and the new Coke." What do you like? "Meteor show­ ers, the Northern Lights, and Grape Pep, a drink we had when I was a kid in the south." What is one of your memorable moments? "The governor let me Continued from Page 1A and some friends stay at his man­ sion. When we ordered a pizza, the pizza man wouldn't >beleive that I wanted it delivered to the mansion. The mansion security man had a patrol man go to the pizza place and ask him why he wouldn't deliver the pizza. Hilarious." Do you have any favorite contem­ porary artists? "Prince, he's outra­ geous. I liked his movie. It was real funny. He's also talented."
