Nobody Knows My Name

For a thousand years

I've lay upon the Lake Victoria

I was winged and many-colored

And nobody knew my name

For a thousand years

I fell out of the sand into the Guadeloupe

And I made many songs into the air

And nobody knew my name

I fell like water

In sweet gasps of hydrogen up

Into the sea over the Bikini Islands

And I dove into the liquid concrete of sweet silver lake

The liquid concrete of down by the river

And nobody knew my name

Now I walk among them and I sing to them

And I open up my wrists

And nobody knows my name

And I translate into many hours of history

But nobody knows my name

I stood in the four winds

I stood in the four winds

I stood in the four winds

And nobody knows my name

So I walk again

Yeah, I walk every night

So I walk again

I look at you

Sweet every face

Do you know my name

Do you, do you know my name

Do you know my name

Do you know my name

Say it

Do you know my name

Say it

Do you know my name

Do you know my name

Do you know my

Do you know my name

Do you know my

My...

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
