Mr. Old's Wild Ride

from Concrete Oasis by Benjamin R. Fuhrman

/

about

Inspired by Ransom E. Olds' 1897 drive through the streets of Lansing in his first car, the prelude begins with a quotation from the most popular song of that year, "A Hot Time in the Old Town." The sounds of surprised crowds and horses give way to engines, which move forward in a dream-like haze. A glimpse of the future or a lamentation for what will soon be sacrificed on the altar of progress? It's too soon to tell, and in any event, the dream comes to a stuttering stop as the final refrain dies away.
