Z - BLUES with Michael P. & The Gully Washers
One of the hallmark events at the biennial Tucson conferences
"Science of Consciousness" has been the
Poetry Slam/Zombie Blues
Performed late in the evening toward the end of the conference,
the Slam invites all attendees to recite original poems or sing their songs
(pertinent or otherwise) on stage on any topic related to consciousness or
their own verses of the Zombie Blues - The audience is encouraged to be rowdy and jeering.
We conclude with a round of “The Zombie Blues”, sung to musical accompaniment
of a Blues riff. Zombies are hypothetical constructs which look and behave like humans
but lack conscious experience. The first verse (traditionally performed by David Chalmers)
goes like this:
“I act like you act, I do what you do,
but I don’t know, what it’s like to be you.
What consciousness is, I ain’t got a clue.
I got the Zombie Blues!....”
