Hollywood Golem

Recorded 2029

This track was written and recorded during Brodsky's time travel research for the Institute* into stories of the Golem in relation to the history of the Loew Dynasty, Rabbi Judah Loew (1520-1609) being the most well known figure in history to have brought a clay figure, a golem, to life.

The front cover shows Brodsky in her Electronic Time Travelling Golem Costume standing on the roof of a building in Hollywood Boulevard in 1958, in the manner of King Kong.

The back cover (below) shows a view of the entrance to the Jewish ghetto in Prague.

*The purpose of the research was to establish, through time travel, links between the original C16th creator of a golem and contemporary genetically related manifestations of productions (or desire thereof) of artificial life, in the pursuit of developments within genetic research.

Retrieval Date: 2058 © Institute of Militronics and Advanced Time Interventionality				LYRICS: Hollywood Golem Looking sad and dumb he called to me From a picture of a man made out of clay From the vellum sprang the first words he ever spoke In the local library yesterday The Kabbalistic details were simple to procure How to make a lump of mud develop some allure It's inscribed all over history books if you're that way inclined You don't have to be Jewish to make a Frankenstein Playing in the kitchen with bowls of felafel mix writing Hebrew words in the margins of physics Walking round in circles, to avoid all kinds of pain, These things all come naturally when you're a North London Jewish dame Mum and Dad came in the kitchen When the felafel mix was itchin' They messed my head with all their stuff I saw red and turned into the golem instead Don't wanna be a golem, Don't put me in the fair Give me the solution I want something else to wear Wanna talk some sense to you Not all these stories of Rabbi Loew All those old Prague cemetaries Don't wanna go to the penitentiary Wanna be a modern golem Be in films and on TV Wanna go to Hollywood Be a star in luxury Hey, I'm not a woman Trying to be a man made out of clay I'm a golem made of felafel from the sixteenth Century I'm a Hollywood Golem from the sixteenth Century… I'm a Hollywood Golem from the sixteenth Century…
