The music at the Peach Festival was always unreal. Every band brings their A game and you just expect magic. The Claypool Lennon Delirium was on fire. But it was a dark overcast day. The clouds kept getting darker as the music progressed. Off in the distance, you could see bolts of lightning flashing. Maybe it was just the acid butContinue reading “DELIRIOUS LIGHTNING”

CRIMSON WHITE AND INDIGO
It was a hot fucking day in July. We were young and gloriously naïve. The Grateful Dead were set to pack JFK for a jubilant celebration. Shakedown Street was shaking as all the Deadheads shopped for tie dyed t-shirts and kind grilled cheese sandwiches. JFK was an old decaying stadium and one could envision gladiators in leather helmets goingContinue reading “CRIMSON WHITE AND INDIGO”
FINDING RELIGION
The pursuit of knowledge and wisdom is basically human and neverending. We can seek a leprechaun with his magical lucky charms or try to run the voodoo down by the bayou. False icons can not replace science but science must beat with a human heart. Existential struggles remain. The learned astronomer doth proclaim the way if we’re willing toContinue reading “FINDING RELIGION”

MICRO BRAWLERS
So now I am the proud owner of an Abdullah the Butcher micro brawler. I’m sure many will question why a grown man needs to own such a toy. They tell me that it’s a child’s toy but it did seem like something that would make my life just a little bit less oppressive. Can’t I be youngContinue reading “MICRO BRAWLERS”
POET SLAP FIGHTS AND ASS KISSING
We are getting snippy and contentious anymore. It doesn’t seem like anyone can have any fun anymore. So we have poets declaring on their posts that ass kissing doesn’t belong in poetry. Hmmm, I initially misread the post and thought he wrote ass kicking. I was thinking to myself that I can see room for both. Sometimes you do haveContinue reading “POET SLAP FIGHTS AND ASS KISSING”
ASSHOLES AND BITCHES NEED NOT APPLY
As I waltz through my life whiling away hours, weeks, years & even decades I never found a shortage of certain undesirable sorts. There seems to be an asshole lurking under every rock & a bitch to be found around any old corner. The cretins aren’t coming. They’re already here They appear out of theContinue reading “ASSHOLES AND BITCHES NEED NOT APPLY”
