I’m so sick of desert fetishism
I’m so sick of everyone’s Santo & Johnny
Everyone’s flight to LA
And rental car to Joshua Tree.
Go live in it.
Go hear the gunshots
and smell thousands of dumpsters
cooking all day
and most of the night.
Go look at a pocked saguaro,
three or four decades of target practice,
and go to its felling
when the subdivision goes in.
Go to Circle K
and look across the street
at another Circle K
and gauge your direction
by South Mountain, Camelback,
Rincon, Catalina,
Organ, Franklin.
Fuck your cartoonish twang.
Wave on wave of caricature.

Greetings from Hong Kong, soon Taipei.

Love you all.

I had to check to see if he was still alive. He is. So much death lately.

Boys in good bands make the grade. Just watched a live performance of "Dead on Arrival" by Grim Reaper and was like

RIP Steve Grimmett

I'll leave this here, watching Phil Donahue helped me come down from a particularly bad LSD trip 30 years ago

This is pretty neat. And how cute is Marlo Thomas? Very cute.
