deliverance

It's cold and rainy...or, it's like 65 and rainy, and after four months in the desert that feels cold. Tucson has made me a pansy.

I dreampt I lived in North Hollywood with Don T. Inferno, the guy I got my first tattoo from. I had read an article about him in the East Bay Express (this is not the dream, this is the truth)...

Anyone who wants the move update, it's one page back:

I am: Straight white male, heavily tattoed, devil worshiping country musician.

Into: Southern girls, red hair, green eyes, Lynnyrd Skynnyrd, scandinavian hard rock, cats, dogs, vodka, old trucks, quiet nights at home by candlelight, getting smashed in bars, LIVE MUSIC, reading constantly, and the colony of geckos that greet me when I come home at...

Long time out of commission, but I return for a moment...

Well, I'm a goddamned drunk! I finally ran out of money & had to stop and realized I went a solid 40 days with no-non drinking days. Lush. It was fun.

Tucson...what can I say about Tucson? Here's slow country song #1:

I been drunk ever since I hit this town
The desert's given...

Met a nice girl and went to Mexico.

Witnessed a truly peculiar (to me, anyway) event- we were at a beach with some thousands of Mexican American (only saw three other anglos there) men (perhaps 10% women, to be fair). The outing was based on the following physical feature: one big sand dune with a phallic tower with a Dos Equis logo on it. The...

Time for an update!

House is good- I survived the tick infestation, though the ticks (thankfully) did not. That was bad creepy, realizing your whole carpet is tick heaven.

I found a super fine bucnh of garage rock freaks who I really, really like. They are the OKMONIKS and they rock. I'll send in the info next time they tour...

I 've been writing like...

I am sitting, waiting. I can feel her presence pushing on me. I can taste her sweat on my lips. When I close my eyes she glows there, out to the northeast aways. Miles away. Days away. She glows like the caterpillar I found in discovery park- she glows coolest blue out beyond the mountains. Not breathing at all and I can hear her in...

Days pass and I have nothing much to say. I have given up on the Madonna cover, and am unable to sing the Celine Dion song without laughing too hard to pull it off.

The Husker Du, Cruel Sea, and Fleetwood Mac songs are coming along nicely. I am a few months away from unleashing
the acoustic deliverance show in public, and it'll be really...

I have a house, the landlords name is Norbert. He is the original Norbert, he fucking rocks. I'll try to get a picture at some point, not sure how...he is a spectacular speciman of german-american geekdom. Norbert almost had me convinced that denim shorts, a work shirt with 'pappy' embroidered above the pocket and both a belt and suspenders are the height of fashion.

I...

I am brain-melted from updating resumes and applying for a University job...but life is good!

I have been smoking again...Tucson has the finest hand rolling tobacco I've had since they stopped carrying Rotterdam Shag (went especially well with Juicy Fruit gum) at that tobacco shop accross from UC Berkeley...Is that still there? Fuck if I know! Anyway, this tobacco is really fucking great. Much better...

Well well well...A month without work does a body good! Been running in the trees, hiking a lot, and playing much music. Song #1 and cover #1 are completed, written, set...a few more to go and I'll be whoring myself out for opening gigs...there's this Madonna tune that I think needs to be made country...

I've been gone and there is little to be said...
